Increasing studies have found that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are aberrantly expressed and play important roles in the occurrence and development of human cancers. However, the function of circRNAs on environmental carcinogen-induced gastric cancer (GC) progression remains poorly elucidated. In the present study, hsa_circ_0110389 was identified as a novel upregulated circRNA in malignant-transformed GC cells through RNA-seq, and subsequent quantitative real-time PCR verified that hsa_circ_0110389 was significantly increased in GC tissues and cells. High hsa_circ_0110389 expression associates with advanced stages of GC and predicts poor prognosis. Knockdown and overexpression assays demonstrated that hsa_circ_0110389 regulates proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells in vitro. In addition, hsa_circ_0110389 was identified to sponge both miR-127-5p and miR-136-5p and SORT1 was validated as a direct target of miR-127-5p and miR-136-5p through multiple mechanism assays; moreover, hsa_circ_0110389 sponged miR-127-5p/miR-136-5p to upregulate SORT1 expression and hsa_circ_0110389 promoted GC progression through the miR-127-5p/miR-136-5p–SORT1 pathway. Finally, hsa_circ_0110389 knockdown suppressed GC growth in vivo. Taken together, our findings firstly identify the role of hsa_circ_0110389 in GC progression, which is through miR-127-5p/miR-136-5p–SORT1 pathway, and our study provides novel insight for the identification of diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GC.Subject terms: Gastrointestinal cancer, Non-coding RNAs 相似文献

The gastric cancer (GC) patients commonly have a poor prognosis due to its invasiveness and distant metastasis. Growing evidence proved that aberrant long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) expression contributes to tumor development and progression. LncRNA SNHG15 has been reported to be involved in many different kinds of cancer, while its role in GC remains unclear. In the present study, we found that SNHG15 was up-regulated in GC tissues and cell lines. Silencing SNHG15 suppressed proliferation migration, invasion and promoted apoptosis of AGS cells. More importantly, microRNA-506-5p (miR-506-5p) was predicted as a direct target of SNHG15 by binding its 3′-UTR and further verified using luciferase reporter assay. Meanwhile, the results of rescue experiments revealed that knockdown of miR-506-5p expression reversed the functional effects of SNHG15 silenced cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis. In conclusion, our findings revealed that SNHG15 executed oncogenic properties in GC progression through targeting miR-506-5p, which might provide a novel target for the GC treatment. 相似文献

Gastric cancer (GC), identified as the most common gastrointestinal malignancy, is one of the primary causes of cancer-related mortality in the world. Although surgery and chemotherapy for GC treatment have been improved, the 5-year overall survival rate is still unsatisfactory. Circ-NOTCH1 is a novel circular RNA derived from its host gene NOTCH1, and has not been studied in any cancers. Here we explored the potential role and mediatory mechanism of circ-NOTCH1 in GC. In this study, circ-NOTCH1 exhibited increased expression in GC tissues and cells. Suppression of circ-NOTCH1 inhibited cell migration, invasion, tumor spheroids number, and side population ratio. Circ-NOTCH1 also promoted GC growth and metastasis in vivo. Additionally, it was found that circ-NOTCH1 could bind to miR-449c-5p. Circ-NOTCH1 promoted metastasis and stemness in GC through sponging miR-449c-5p. Subsequently, MYC was identified as a downstream gene of miR-449c-5p. MYC could bind to the promoter of NOTCH1 to regulate GC progression. Furthermore, rescue assays demonstrated that NOTCH1 knockdown reversed the effects of overexpression of MYC in metastasis and stemness in AGS cells/sh-circNOTCH1. Above findings explained that circ-NOTCH1 promoted metastasis and stemness in GC by targeting miR-449c-5p/MYC/NOTCH1 axis, suggesting the possibility of circ-NOTCH1 as a therapeutic marker for GC. 相似文献

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of endogenous noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) with a covalently closed loop structure. Accumulating evidence shows that circRNAs play vital roles in the growth, metastasis, treatment and prognosis of various cancers. However, the detailed functions and underlying mechanisms of circEVI5 (hsa_circ_0013162) in gastric cancer (GC) remain undocumented. In this study, the expression levels and prognostic value of circEVI5 were validated in GC tissue samples by using qRT-PCR. circEVI5 was significantly downregulated in GC tissues and cells, and low circEVI5 expression was correlated with poor prognosis. Next, in vitro CCK-8 assay, EdU incorporation assay, PI staining cell cycle assay, and in vivo xenograft mouse models were conducted to assess the functions of circEVI5. Gain of function experiments indicated that circEVI5 could inhibit GC cell proliferation and retard the cell cycle. Moreover, bioinformatics prediction showed that circEVI5 binds to miR-4793-3p, while FOXO1 may be a target of miR-4793-3p. Pull-down assays, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays, luciferase assays, and western blot were used to confirm the interactions between circEVI5, miR-4793-3p, and FOXO1. Functional assays demonstrated that circEVI5 suppressed the proliferation of GC by sponging miR-4793-3p and increasing FOXO1 expression levels. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that circEVI5 can bind miR-4793-3p as a ceRNA to eliminate the negative regulation of FOXO1, therefore suppressing GC proliferation.Subject terms: Gastric cancer, Oncogenesis 相似文献

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) has an important function in cancer. Recently, microRNAs have been reported to be involved in EMT by regulating target genes. miR-942 is considered a novel oncogene in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. However, its role in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been investigated. In this study, the expression of miR-942 in NSCLC patients tumor and paired adjacent tissues were assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization. Transwell, wound healing, tube formation, and tail vein xenograft assays were conducted to assess miR-942′s function in NSCLC. Potential miR-942 targets were confirmed using dual-luciferase reporter assays, immunohistochemistry, immunoblot, and rescue experiments. The results showed miR-942 is relatively highly expressed in human NSCLC tissues and cells. In vitro assays demonstrated that overexpression of miR-942 promoted cell migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. Tail vein xenograft assays suggested that miR-942 contributed to NSCLC metastasis in vivo. Three bioinformatics software was searched, and BARX2 was predicted as a downstream target of miR-942. Direct interaction between them was validated by dual-luciferase assays. Rescue experiments further confirmed that BARX2 overexpression could reverse functional changes caused by miR-942. Moreover, miR-942 increased EMT-associated proteins N-cadherin and vimentin by inhibiting BARX2, while E-cadherin expression is reduced. In summary, this study reveals that miR-942 induces EMT-related metastasis by directly targeting BARX2, which may provide a potential therapeutic strategy for NSCLC. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to investigate the regulatory mechanism of circPDSS1/miR-186-5p/NEK2 axis on the viability and proliferation in gastric cancer (GC) cell line. Differentially expressed circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in GC tissues and paracarcinoma tissues were analyzed using gene chips GSE83521, GSE89143, and GSE93415. Then, the expression of circPDSS1, miR-186-5p, and NEK2 was analyzed via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Survival analysis was adopted to explore the association between the circPDSS1 expression and the prognosis of GC. The effect of circPDSS1 on GC cell cycle and apoptosis was verified with the flow cytometry. Targeting relationships among circPDSS1, miR-186-5p, and NEK2 were predicted via bioinformatics analysis and demonstrated by the dual-luciferase reporter assay. Our results showed that circPDSS1 and NEK2 were high-expressed whereas miR-186-5p was low-expressed in GC tissues and cells. CircPDSS1 promoted GC cell cycle and inhibited apoptosis by sponging miR-186-5p, while miR-186-5p inhibited cell cycle and promoted apoptosis by targeting NEK2. Thus, circPDSS1 acts as a tumor promoter by regulating miR-186-5p and NEK2, which could be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for the management of GC. 相似文献

Emerging evidence highlights the key regulatory roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the initiation and progression of numerous malignancies. The lncRNA identified as differentiation antagonizing nonprotein coding RNA (DANCR) is a novel lncRNA widely involved in the development of multiple human cancers. However, the function of DANCR and its potential molecular mechanism in cervical cancer remain unclear. In this study, we discovered that DANCR was significantly elevated in cervical cancer tissues and cells, and was closely correlated with poor prognosis of cervical cancer patients. In addition, knockdown of DANCR inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of cervical cancer cells in vitro, indicating that DANCR functioned as an oncogene in cervical cancer. Moreover, we verified that DANCR could directly bind to miR-335-5p, isolating miR-335-5p from its target gene Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 (ROCK1). Functional analysis showed that DANCR regulated ROCK1 expression by competitively binding to miR-335-5p. Further cellular behavioral experiments revealed that miR-335-5p mimics and ROCK1 knockdown reversed the effects of upregulated DANCR on proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cervical cancer cells by rescue assays. In summary, this study demonstrated that DANCR promoted cervical cancer progression by functioning as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to regulate ROCK1 expression via sponging miR-335-5p, suggesting a novel potential therapeutic target for cervical cancer. 相似文献

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new class of noncoding RNAs, play a crucial role in tumor initiation and development. Hsa_circ_0001546 is a novel circular RNA that was downregulated in gastric cancer (GC) tissues, however its function and mechanism in GC has not been studied. Our study verified that circ_0001546 was decreased in GC and correlated with the poor prognosis. Next, Pull-down assay and dual-luciferase reporter assay verified that miR-421 was a target of circ_0001546 while ATM (Ataxia telangiectasia mutated) was target by miR-421. Overexpression of circ_0001546 inhibited the proliferation and chemoresistance of HGC-27 cells, and increased the expression of ATM. In addition, circ_0001546 overexpression reversed the effect of miR-421 overexpression. What is more, circ_0001546 inhibits the chemoresistance of HGC-27 cells to L-OPH (Oxaliplatin) may through the activation of the ATM/checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2)/p53-dependent signaling pathway. In summary, our study proved that circ_0001546 sponges miR-421 to upregulate the expression level of ATM and inhibit the proliferation and chemoresistance through the activation of the ATM/Chk2/p53-dependent pathway. 相似文献

An increasing amount of evidence has proven the vital role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in cancer progression. However, there remains a dearth of knowledge on the function of circRNAs in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Utilizing a circRNA microarray dataset, four circRNAs were identified to be abnormally expressed in TNBC. Among them, circBACH2 was most significantly elevated in TNBC cancerous tissues and its high expression was positively correlated to the malignant progression of TNBC patients. In normal human mammary gland cell line, the overexpression of circBACH2 facilitated epithelial to mesenchymal transition and cell proliferation. In TNBC cell lines, circBACH2 knockdown suppressed the malignant progression of TNBC cells. Mechanistically, circBACH2 sponged miR-186-5p and miR-548c-3p, thus releasing the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) expression. The interference of miR-186-5p/miR-548c-3p efficiently promoted the cell proliferation, migration, and invasion suppressed by circBACH2 knockdown in the TNBC cell lines. Finally, circBACH2 knockdown repressed the growth and lung metastasis of TNBC xenografts in nude mice. In summary, circBACH2 functions as an oncogenic circRNA in TNBC through a novel miR-186-5p/miR-548c-3p/CXCR4 axis.Subject terms: Cancer, Cell biology 相似文献

Numerous studies demonstrate that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are critical regulators of the occurrence and progression of tumors. However, research on the involvement of circRNAs in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is limited. In our study, circTIMELESS (also named hsa_circ_0000408 in the Human circRNA Database) was upregulated in both LUSC tissues and LUSC cells, and circTIMELESS expression was positively associated with the TNM stage. Moreover, circTIMELESS silencing markedly suppressed invasion in vitro and disrupted proliferation in vitro as well as in vivo. Additional investigations have shown that circTIMELESS functions as a miR-136-5p “sponge” and regulates miR-136-5p expression. Furthermore, the impact of miR-136-5p upregulation was consistent with the results of circTIMELESS silencing, both of which inhibited the proliferation and invasion of LUSC cells. Additional results showed that Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 (ROCK1) is targeted by miR-136-5p. The results of recovery experiments showed that ROCK1 overexpression partly rescued the impact of circTIMELESS silencing and miR-136-5p upregulation on proliferation and invasion. Consequently, our findings confirmed that circTIMELESS exists in LUSC and acts as a tumor promoter through the miR-136-5p/ROCK1 axis. Based on these findings, circTIMELESS may be potentially utilized as a therapeutic target for LUSC. 相似文献

MicroRNAs plays an important role in the ccurrence and development of non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). miR-497-5p has been reported to function as a tumor suppressor in various cancers. However, the role of miR-497-5p in NSCLC remains poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the biological role and potential molecular mechanism of miR-497-5p in NSCLC. Our results showed that the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression level of miR-497-5p was notably downregulated in human NSCLC tissues and cell lines. miR-497-5p overexpression remarkably inhibited NSCLC cell proliferation and increased cell apoptosis in A549 and H460 cells, whereas inhibition of miR-497-5p had an opposite effect. The ability of cell migration and invasion was inhibited by miR-497-5p overexpression but was increased by miR-497-5p inhibition. Moreover, our findings indicated that SOX5 was a direct target of miR-497-5p. The protein and mRNA expression levels of SOX5 in A549 cells were remarkably inhibited by miR-497-5p overexpression but was upregulated by miR-497-5p inhibition. Furthermore, SOX5 overexpression notably reversed the effect of miR-497-5p mimic on NSCLC cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, cell migration, and invasion. Taken together, these results indicated that miR-497-5p overexpression inhibited NSCLC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced cell apoptosis through inhibiting SOX5 gene expression. It was conceivable that miR-497-5p might serve as a potential molecular target for NSCLC treatment. 相似文献

Glioblastoma (GBM) belongs to the high-grade (IV) gliomas with extremely poor prognosis. Accumulating evidence uncovered the key roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in GBM development. This study aimed to determine the biological actions and the clinical relevance of lncRNA MIR4435-2 Host Gene (MIR4435-2HG) in GBM. Data from GEPIA database showed that MIR4435-2HG was up-regulated in GBM tissues and high expression of MIR4435-2HG correlated with shorter overall survival of GBM patients. Further experimental assays verified the up-regulation of MIR4435-2HG in GBM tissues and cell lines. In vitro cell studies and in vivo animal studies showed that knockdown of MIR4435-2HG resulted in the inhibition of GBM cell proliferation and invasion and in vivo tumour growth, while MIR4435-2HG overexpression driven GBM progression. Furthermore, MIR44435-2HG was found to sponge miR-1224-5p and suppress miR-1224-5p expression; overexpression of miR-1224-5p attenuated the enhancement in GBM cell proliferation and invasion induced by MIR4435-2HG overexpression. In a subsequent study, miR-1224-5p was found to target transforming growth factor-beta receptor type 2 (TGFBR2) and repressed TGFBR2 expression, and in vitro assays showed that miR-1224-5p exerted tumour-suppressive effects via targeting TGFBR2. More importantly, TGFRB2 knockdown antagonized hyper-proliferation and invasion of GBM cells with MIR4435-2HG overexpression. Clinically, the down-regulation of miR-1224-5p and up-regulation of TGFBR2 were verified in the GBM clinical samples. Taken together, the present study suggests the oncogenic role of MIR4435-2HG in GBM and underlies the key function of MIR4435-2HG-driven GBM progression via targeting miR-1224-5p/TGFBR2 axis. 相似文献

BackgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) are reported to be associated with multiple biological processes in human cancers. However, there are still numerous circRNAs whose functions remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of circ_0011058 in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).MethodsQuantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was utilized to detect the expression of circ_0011058, microRNA-335-5p (miR-335-5p) and Yes-associated Protein 1 (YAP1). Cell proliferation was detected using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and EdU assay. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry assay. Angiogenesis ability was assessed using tube formation assay. The expression of angiogenesis-related proteins and YAP1 protein was detected by western blot. Radioresistance was examined using colony formation assay. The binding relationship between miR-335-5p and circ_0011058 or YAP1 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay, pull-down assay and RIP assay. Xenograft models were constructed to ensure the role of circ_0011058.ResultsCirc_0011058 expression was aberrantly elevated in PTC tissues and cells. The downregulation of circ_0011058 suppressed proliferation, angiogenesis and radioresistance in PTC cells. MiR-335-5p was defined as a target of circ_0011058, and miR-335-5p inhibition reversed the effects of circ_0011058 downregulation. In addition, YAP1 was a target of miR-335-5p, and circ_0011058 positively regulated YAP1 expression by targeting miR-335-5p. MiR-335-5p restoration inhibited proliferation, angiogenesis and radioresistance in PTC cells, while YAP1 overexpression abolished these effects. Animal study showed that circ_0011058 knockdown inhibited tumor growth in vivo.ConclusionCirc_0011058 promoted PTC cell proliferation, angiogenesis and radioresistance by upregulating YAP1 via acting as miR-335-5p sponge. 相似文献

Lung adenocarcinoma (LAD) is a common malignancy; however, its underlying molecular mechanism is unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) serve as significant cancer regulators. The overexpression of circRAPGEF5 in LAD tissues and cells indicated that it may be involved in promoting LAD progression. Analysis of 61 LAD tissues revealed that circRAPGEF5 was related to lymph node metastasis. Functionally, circRAPGEF5 promoted the proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of LAD cells in vitro and promoted LAD cells growth in vivo. Mechanistically, dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed direct interaction of circRAPGEF5, miR-1236-3p, and ZEB1. miR-1236-3p was upregulated and ZEB1 expression reduced after circRAPGEF5 knockdown, and the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LAD cells was inhibited. circRAPGEF5 was significantly overexpressed in LAD cell exosomes, and co-culture experiments showed that exosomal circRAPGEF5 enhanced the metastatic ability of LAD cells. Further experiments found that serum exosomal circRAPGEF5 was overexpressed in LAD; moreover, the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of exosomal circRAPGEF5 was superior to that of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Jointly detected serum exosomal circRAPGEF5 and serum CEA had better diagnostic performance than when detected individually. Thus, exosomal circRAPGEF5 could promote the proliferation and metastasis of LAD via the miR-1236-3p/ZEB1 axis and serum exosomal circRAPGEF5 may serve as a promising biomarker for LAD. 相似文献

BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for over 80% of primary liver cancers and leads to a high death rate. Research on circular RNAs (circRNAs) suggests that circRNAs are promising biomarkers for cancer treatment. This study aimed to explore the function of a novel circRNA (circ-CSPP1) in HCC.MethodsCirc-CSPP1 was obtained from the microarray data downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The expression of circ-CSPP1, miR-493-5p and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell proliferation, colony formation ability, migration and invasion were monitored using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay and transwell assay, respectively. The protein levels of CyclinD1, Vimentin, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) and HMGB1 were detected by western blot. Xenograft models were established to investigate the function of circ-CSPP1 in vivo. The association between miR-493-5p and circ-CSPP1 or HMGB1 was predicted by the online tool starBase and ensured by dual-luciferase reporter assay.ResultsThe expression of circ-CSPP1 and HMGB1 was elevated, while the expression of miR-493-5p was declined in HCC tissues and cells. Circ-CSPP1 knockdown not only depleted HCC cell proliferation, formation, migration and invasion in vitro but also inhibited tumor growth in vivo. MiR-493-5p was a target of circ-CSPP1, and HMGB1 was a target of miR-493-5p. Rescue experiments presented that miR-493-5p deficiency reversed the effects of circ-CSPP1 knockdown, and HMGB1 overexpression reversed the effects of miR-493-5p restoration. Circ-CSPP1 sponged miR-493-5p to regulate HMGB1 expression.ConclusionKnockdown of circ-CSPP1 suppressed HCC development both in vitro and in vivo by upregulation of miR-493-5p and downregulation of HMGB1, hinting that circ-CSPP1 participated in HCC pathogenesis. 相似文献

Accumulating evidence has proven that circRNAs play vital roles in tumor progression. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying circRNAs in bladder cancer (BCa) remain largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify the role and investigate the potential molecular mechanisms of hsa_circ_0003098 in BCa. We confirmed that hsa_circ_0003098 expression was significantly upregulated in BCa tissues, of which expression was remarkably associated with poor prognosis. Functionally, overexpression of hsa_circ_0003098 promoted BCa cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro as well as tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, hsa_circ_0003098 promoted upregulation of ACAT2 expression and induced cholesteryl ester accumulation via acting as a sponge for miR-377-5p. Thus, hsa_circ_0003098 plays an oncogenic role in BCa and may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for BCa. 相似文献
