Upregulated circPRMT5 is positively associated with advanced clinical stage, advanced T and N status, lymph node metastasis, tumor progression, worse survival and poorer DFS; circPRMT5 in serum and urine exosomes predicts tumor lymph node metastasis and may serve as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.
circPRMT5 is a PRMT5-derived human circRNA that is frequently upregulated in UCB tissues and in serum/urine exosomes from patients with UCB. It promotes EMT, migration, invasion and lung metastasis by sponging miR-30c and relieving miR-30c-mediated repression of the SNAIL1/E-cadherin pathway. Clinically, high circPRMT5 expression is associated with advanced disease, lymph node metastasis and poorer survival, supporting its value as a prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target.
