| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
VEGFA, Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-195 |
| Biological function: |
Promotes PTC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a ceRNA/miRNA sponge for miR-195 to upregulate VEGFA and activate Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
Wnt/beta-catenin (promotes); proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Transfection; CCK8; EdU Staining; Transwell Assay; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Western Blot; Bioinformatics Analysis; Survival Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
High expression of circPVT1 was related to tumor size, TNM stage, and lymph node metastasis; no significant correlation with overall survival in this cohort; proposed as biomarker/therapeutic target. |
| Description: |
circPVT1 is up-regulated in papillary thyroid carcinoma tissues and cell lines and promotes malignant phenotypes (proliferation, migration, invasion). Mechanistically, it sponges miR-195 to increase VEGFA expression and activate Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. |
