circRNA-disease information
Expression pattern:
UP
Associated gene: HOXA10, LIF, rhG-CSF
Associated microRNA: -
Biological function: hsa circ 0001550 acts as a negative regulator of embryo adhesion and embryo implantation; overexpression reduces adhesion of BeWo or JAR spheroids and murine blastocysts to Ishikawa cells and reduces implantation sites in vivo, whereas knockdown improves embryo adhesion and upregulates HOXA10 and LIF.
Molecular mechanism: rhG-CSF downregulates hsa circ 0001550, relieving its suppression of endometrial receptivity markers HOXA10 and LIF; hsa circ 0001550 overexpression suppresses embryo adhesion and implantation, while knockdown increases HOXA10 and LIF mRNA expression and improves adhesion.
Biological pathway or process:

other pathway/process (inhibits); proliferation (promotes); cell cycle (other); apoptosis (other); angiogenesis (other)

Detected method:
Q
M
Validation methods:

RT-qPCR; Microarray; Transfection; CCK8; EdU Staining; In Vivo Animal Model; TUNEL; H&E Staining; IF (Immunofluorescence)

Clinical significance:

hsa circ 0001550 is highly expressed in secretions and upregulated in the mid-secretory endometrium of patients with RIF, and is highlighted as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for infertility.

Description:

This study identifies hsa circ 0001550 as a human circRNA derived from RARS and a negative regulator of endometrial receptivity, embryo adhesion, and embryo implantation. It is reported as upregulated in RIF-related samples, and functional overexpression/knockdown experiments show that it suppresses adhesion and implantation partly through downregulation of HOXA10 and LIF. rhG-CSF improves implantation partly by downregulating hsa circ 0001550, suggesting potential biomarker and therapeutic relevance in infertility and implantation failure.

Confidence score:

0.4732
