Decreased circ-SHPRH expression was associated with worse 5-year overall survival, MYCN amplification, advanced INRG stage, and high-risk NB; circ-SHPRH was proposed as a potential biomarker and gene therapeutic agent for NB.
Circ-SHPRH is downregulated in neuroblastoma and low expression is associated with worse clinical features and poorer survival. Functionally, circ-SHPRH suppresses NB proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumor growth by encoding SHPRH-146aa, which upregulates P21 and inhibits CDK complex activity to induce cell-cycle arrest. The study also suggests circ-SHPRH as a biomarker and potential gene therapy agent, including in combination with the mTOR inhibitor everolimus.
