| Biological function: |
suppresses invasion and migration of breast cancer cells |
| Molecular mechanism: |
circASS1 acts as a miR-4443 sponge and regulates/upregulates its parental gene ASS1 expression |
| Biological pathway or process: |

| Description: |
circASS1 is down-regulated in the more aggressive breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 compared with MCF-7. Functionally, circASS1 suppresses breast cancer cell invasion and migration, likely through sponging miR-4443 and upregulating its parental gene ASS1. |
