| Expression pattern: |
DN |
| Associated gene: |
TRAF4, IKA, NF-kappaB |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-4443 |
| Biological function: |
May be involved in stroke events triggered by cerebral arterial dissection and post-stroke immune processes. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Predicted miRNA sponge binding to miR-4443 within a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network; implicated with TRAF4/IKA/NF-kappaB signaling via miR-4443 context. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
NF-kappaB (other); immune regulation (other); inflammation (other); ceRNA regulation (other) |
| Detected method: |
Q
S
|
| Validation methods: |
RNA-seq; RT-qPCR; RNase R Treatment; Clinical Sample Validation; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
Potential biomarker for CeAD. |
| Description: |
This SKI-derived circRNA is down-regulated in PBMCs of CeAD patients and validated by qRT-PCR. Bioinformatics suggests it may act as a miRNA sponge (notably for miR-4443) and be related to immune/inflammatory processes in CeAD-associated stroke. |
