| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
IGFBP5 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-7974 |
| Biological function: |
promotes DEX-induced apoptosis of HUVECs |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a miRNA sponge: hsa_circ_0058122 binds miR-7974 to relieve repression of IGFBP5, increasing IGFBP5 and promoting apoptosis in DEX-treated HUVECs. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
apoptosis (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |

| Validation methods: |
Microarray; RT-qPCR; divergent primers PCR; RNase R Treatment; FISH / smFISH; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Transfection; Annexin V/PI Flow Cytometry; Western Blot; Bioinformatics Analysis; Clinical Sample Validation |
| Clinical significance: |
may serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker or a drug target for SONFH therapy |
| Description: |
hsa_circ_0058122 (circFN1), derived from FN1, is up-regulated in SONFH femoral head tissues and in DEX-treated HUVECs. It promotes DEX-induced endothelial apoptosis by sponging miR-7974 and upregulating IGFBP5 (hsa_circ_0058122/miR-7974/IGFBP5 axis). |
