| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
AHNAK, AGO2 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-190a |
| Biological function: |
promotes cell invasion and metastasis; promotes EMT |
| Molecular mechanism: |
ceRNA sponge mechanism: circ_0008194 binds miR-190a to relieve repression of AHNAK, promoting EMT and invasion |
| Biological pathway or process: |
ceRNA regulation (promotes); invasion (promotes); metastasis (promotes); EMT (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; RNase R Treatment; RIP (RNA Immunoprecipitation); RNA Pull-Down; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Transfection; Transwell Assay; CCK8; Western Blot; Clinical Sample Validation; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
circ_0008194 was corrected with the metastasis of HCC |
| Description: |
circ_0008194 is up-regulated in HCC tumor tissues and promotes invasion/metastasis and EMT in vitro. It functions as a ceRNA by sponging miR-190a, thereby increasing AHNAK expression. |
