| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
TRAF6, Ago2 protein |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-149-5p |
| Biological function: |
Hsa_circ_0087862 functions as a tumor promoter in CRC cells; its knockdown reduces proliferation and invasion and triggers apoptosis. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Hsa_circ_0087862 acts as a ceRNA/molecular sponge for miR-149-5p, thereby regulating TRAF6 expression in CRC cells. |
| Biological pathway or process: |

| Clinical significance: |
Targeting hsa_circ_0087862/miR-149-5p/TRAF6 axis may be a promising anti-CRC therapeutic strategy. |
| Description: |
Hsa_circ_0087862 is up-regulated in colorectal cancer tissues and cell lines and acts as an oncogenic circRNA. Its silencing suppresses CRC cell proliferation and invasion while promoting apoptosis, mainly through sponging miR-149-5p and relieving regulation of TRAF6. The study suggests the hsa_circ_0087862/miR-149-5p/TRAF6 axis as a potential anti-CRC therapeutic target. |
