Hsa_circ_0008035 Knockdown Inhibits Bladder Cancer Progression through miR-1184/RAP2B Axis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are related to the pathogenesis and progression of bladder cancer (BC). This research aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of hsa_circ_0008035 (circ_0008035) in BC progression.

Methods

Circ_0008035, microRNA (miR)-1,184, and Ras-related protein 2B (RAP2B) levels were examined in BC via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine staining, flow cytometry, caspase-3 assay kit, transwell, and tube formation assays were conducted to estimate the effects of circ_0008035 on the malignant phenotypes of BC tumors. The interaction between RNAs and genes was evaluated via a dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. A xenograft mode
