circPVT1 Details

Basic Information
circRNA    circPVT1
Alias    -
circBase ID    -
Host gene    PVT1
Species    homo sapiens
Peptide    -
Sequence  -

Expression
Description  upregulated in GC
Method    RNA-seq, qRT-PCR
Sample    paired cancer specimens and adjacent normal tissues, MGC-803 and AGS

Function
Description  circPVT1 may promote cell proliferation by acting as a sponge for members of the miR-125 family. The level of circPVT1 was observed as an independent prognostic marker for overall survival and disease-free survival of patients with GC.
Method    loss of function
in vitro    MGC-803 and AGS
in vivo    -

Interaction
Target    miR-125a, miR-125b and let-7b
Type    circRNA-miRNA
Sample    HEK-293T
Experiment    luciferase reporter assay
Description    Compared with the control RNA, miR-125a, miR-125b and let-7b reduced the luciferase reporter activity by at least 25%.
ceRNA target    E2F2
