| Expression pattern: |
DN |
| Associated gene: |
DKK3, p-GP |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-346 |
| Biological function: |
hsa_circ_0006404 acts as a docetaxel-sensitizing and tumor-suppressive circRNA in ovarian cancer models; its knockdown increases p-GP expression, enhances proliferation and tumor growth, and decreases apoptosis under DTX treatment. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
hsa_circ_0006404 interacts with miR-346 and regulates DKK3 and p-GP expression, forming the hsa_circ_0006404/miR-346/DKK3/p-GP axis in ovarian cancer response to DTX. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
drug resistance (inhibits); apoptosis (promotes); proliferation (inhibits); ceRNA regulation (other) |
| Detected method: |
Q

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Transfection; Annexin V/PI Flow Cytometry; TUNEL; Western Blot; In Vivo Animal Model; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |

| Description: |
hsa_circ_0006404 is down-regulated in DTX-resistant SKOV3-R ovarian cancer cells. The study supports a hsa_circ_0006404/miR-346/DKK3/p-GP axis in which hsa_circ_0006404 inhibits p-GP-associated docetaxel resistance, suppresses proliferation and tumor growth, and promotes apoptosis under DTX treatment. |
