| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
CDCA7 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-520f-3p |
| Biological function: |
Promotes PCa cell proliferation, growth, migration, invasion, EMT, tumor growth and metastasis; circ-0006220 knockdown inhibits these malignant behaviors. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
ceRNA mechanism: circ-0006220 acts as a sponge for miR-520f-3p and regulates CDCA7 expression, promoting malignant behaviors in PCa. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
ceRNA regulation (promotes); proliferation (promotes); migration (promotes); invasion (promotes); metastasis (promotes); EMT (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q

| Validation methods: |
RNase R Treatment; RT-qPCR; FISH / smFISH; Clinical Sample Validation; Luciferase Reporter Assay; Transfection; CCK8; EdU Staining; Colony Formation Assay; Transwell Assay; In Vivo Animal Model; IHC (Immunohistochemistry); Western Blot; Survival Analysis; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
Elevated circ-0006220 expression was related to poor prognosis and lymph-node metastasis in PCa; it may be a therapeutic target. |
| Description: |
circ-0006220/hsa_circ_0006220 is up-regulated in prostate cancer tissues and cell lines, and high expression is associated with poor survival and lymph-node metastasis. Functionally, it promotes PCa cell proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT, tumor growth and metastasis by sponging miR-520f-3p to increase CDCA7 expression. |
