| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
E2F3 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-16-5p |
| Biological function: |
promotes osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration/invasion, tumor growth and metastasis; promotes cancer stem cell differentiation/stemness features |
| Molecular mechanism: |
sponges miR-16-5p to enhance E2F3 expression |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); metastasis (promotes); stemness (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Bioinformatics Analysis; Transfection; Transwell Assay; Colony Formation Assay; CCK8; Western Blot; In Vivo Animal Model; H&E Staining |
| Clinical significance: |
Upregulation of hsa_circ_0000885 indicated a poor clinical outcome of osteosarcoma; candidate biomarker for diagnostics of OS |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0000885 is up-regulated in osteosarcoma cell lines and acts as an oncogenic circRNA. Its knockdown suppresses proliferation, invasion/migration, tumor growth and lung metastasis, and reduces stemness markers. Mechanistically, hsa_circ_0000885 sponges miR-16-5p to enhance E2F3, and the miR-16-5p/E2F3 axis mediates these phenotypes. |
