It was demonstrated that hsa_circ_0031288, renamed circPABPN1 (poly(A) binding protein nuclear 1) as it rose from the PABPN1 pre-mRNA, could bond with ELAV-like RBP 1 (HuR) to prevent HuR binding to PABPN1 mRNA and reduce PABPN1 translation in human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells. The gene discussed is PABPN1; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
