circRAB3IP modulates cell proliferation by reorganizing gene expression and mRNA processing in a paracrine manner
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Circular RNAs are an endogenous long-lived and abundant noncoding species. Despite their prevalence, only a few circRNAs have been dissected mechanistically to date. Here, we cataloged nascent RNA-enriched circRNAs from primary human cells and functionally assigned a role to circRAB3IP in sustaining cellular homeostasis. We combined "omics" and functional experiments to show how circRAB3IP depletion deregulates hundreds of genes, suppresses cell cycle progression, and induces senescence-associated gene expression changes. Conversely, excess circRAB3IP delivered to endothelial cells via extracellular vesicles suffices for accelerating their division. We attribute these effects to an interplay between circRAB3IP and the general splicing factor SF3B1, which can affect transcript variant expression levels of cell cycle-related genes. Together, our findings link the maintenance of cell homeostasis to the presence of a single circRNA.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
