| Associated gene: |
Vimentin, ACTIN, HIF-1alpha, circR-127aa |
| Associated microRNA: |

| Biological function: |
circRACK1 acts as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer: its overexpression inhibits proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, actin-cytoskeletal remodeling, EMT, tumor growth and metastasis, while promoting apoptosis; its knockdown has the opposite effects. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
circRACK1 encodes the peptide circR-127aa, which interacts with Vimentin and ACTIN, promotes ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of Vimentin, and thereby suppresses actin-cytoskeletal remodeling and EMT; HIF-1alpha can mitigate circRACK1 effects under hypoxic conditions. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (inhibits); migration (inhibits); invasion (inhibits); angiogenesis (inhibits); apoptosis (promotes); EMT (inhibits); metastasis (inhibits); ubiquitination (promotes); HIF-1 signaling (other); VEGF/VEGFR (inhibits); other pathway/process (inhibits) |

| Clinical significance: |
circRACK1 and its encoded peptide circR-127aa may serve as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for gastric cancer. |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0075402/circRACK1 is down-regulated in gastric cancer cells and encodes the tumor-suppressive peptide circR-127aa. circR-127aa interacts with Vimentin and ACTIN, promotes Vimentin ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, and inhibits proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, EMT, tumor growth and metastasis while promoting apoptosis. |
