| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
TAZ, YAP, SAV1 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-125a-5p |
| Biological function: |
Promotes breast cancer cell proliferation, survival and metastasis (migration/invasion). |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a miRNA sponge for miR-125a-5p to derepress TAZ and activate Hippo signaling in breast cancer cells. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
Hippo/YAP (promotes); proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); metastasis (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Survival Analysis; Bioinformatics Analysis; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Transfection; CCK8; Transwell Assay; Western Blot; Microarray |
| Clinical significance: |
High circ_0001667 level is negatively related to patients’ life time and is a potential prognostic marker. |
| Description: |
circ_0001667 is up-regulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines and its high expression is associated with poorer survival. Functionally, circ_0001667 promotes proliferation/survival and metastasis by sponging miR-125a-5p to increase TAZ (and related Hippo pathway components) activity. |
