circ-Foxo3 Details

Basic Information
circRNA    circ-Foxo3
Alias    -
circBase ID    -
Host gene    Foxo3
Species    mus musculus
Peptide    -
Sequence  -

Expression
Description  highly expressed in non-cancer cells
Method    qRT-PCR, northern blots
Sample    MEF, MCF, NIH3T3, 67NR, 66C14, 4T07, 4T1 and B16

Function
Description  Silencing endogenous circ-Foxo3 promoted cell proliferation. Ectopic expression of circ-Foxo3 repressed cell cycle progression by binding to the cell cycle proteins cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (also known as cell division protein kinase 2 or CDK2) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1 (or p21), resulting in the formation of a ternary complex.
Method    loss of function, gain of function
in vitro    NIH3T3, B16
in vivo    -

Interaction
Target    p21 and CDK2
Type    circRNA-protein
Sample    NIH3T3
Experiment    RIP, RNA pull-down
Description    The experiment showed that circ-Foxo3 was pulled-down by immunoprecipitation experiments with antibodies against CDK2 and p21, which did not pull-down linear Foxo3 mRNA. p21 and CDK2 were pulleddown by the probe but not by the control oligo in the circ-Foxo3-transfected cells.
