| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
AGO1, AGO2, AGO3, EIF4A3, IGF2BP2, IGF2BP3, LIN28A |
| Associated microRNA: |

| Biological function: |
Promotes malignant phenotypes (migration, invasion), tumorigenesis, and liver metastasis of colorectal cancer under hypoxia; potential biomarker for CRC liver metastasis. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Hypoxia induces hsa_circ_0000826; genetic knockdown/knockout blocks hypoxia-enhanced migration/invasion and liver metastasis; potential interaction with RNA-binding proteins predicted by computational tool. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); metastasis (promotes); proliferation (promotes); ceRNA regulation (other); EMT (other) |
| Detected method: |

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; ISH (In Situ Hybridization); Clinical Sample Validation; ROC Analysis; Transfection; Transwell Assay; In Vivo Animal Model; H&E Staining |
| Clinical significance: |
Serum hsa_circ_0000826 is higher in CRC patients than healthy donors and higher in CRC patients with liver metastasis than those without; ROC analysis suggests it can discriminate CRC and predict CRC liver metastasis. |
| Description: |
This study shows that hypoxia induces upregulation of hsa_circ_0000826 in CRC cells and patient serum. hsa_circ_0000826 promotes CRC malignant behaviors (migration/invasion), tumorigenesis, and liver metastasis, and its elevated serum levels have diagnostic value for CRC and CRC liver metastasis. |
