| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
ROCK1, ZEB1 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-431 |
| Biological function: |
promotes proliferation, migration, invasion, tumor growth and metastasis in colon cancer |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a competing endogenous RNA by sponging miR-431 to regulate ROCK1 and ZEB1 expression; associated with cyclin D1/CDK4/Rb signaling and EMT-related markers. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); metastasis (promotes); EMT (promotes); cell cycle (other); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |

| Clinical significance: |
circCSPP1 is upregulated in colon cancer tissues and may be a potential biomarker and a diagnostic and therapeutic target. |
| Description: |
circCSPP1 (hsa_circ_0001806), derived from CSPP1 exons 8-11, is upregulated in colon cancer tissues and cell lines and mainly localizes to the cytoplasm. It promotes colon cancer proliferation, migration, invasion, tumor growth and metastasis by sponging miR-431, thereby upregulating ROCK1 and ZEB1 and influencing cell-cycle and EMT-related proteins. |
