| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
PLOD2, APLN |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-1303 |
| Biological function: |
promotes osteosarcoma cell migration and metastasis; increases PLOD2 expression |
| Molecular mechanism: |
hsa_circ_0000004 acts as a miR-1303 sponge to relieve miR-1303 repression on PLOD2, thereby increasing PLOD2 and promoting migration |
| Biological pathway or process: |
migration (promotes); metastasis (promotes); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q
|
| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; Luciferase Reporter Assay; RNA Pull-Down; Transfection; Transwell Assay; Western Blot; Clinical Sample Validation |
| Clinical significance: |
- |
| Description: |
In osteosarcoma, hsa_circ_0000004 is upregulated and promotes cell migration/metastatic behavior by sponging miR-1303, thereby increasing PLOD2 expression. It functions as part of an APLN-driven ceRNA axis (hsa_circ_0000004/miR-1303/PLOD2) linked to Hippo pathway activation. |
