Silencing of circUSPL1 represses breast cancer progression by targeting miR-1296-5p/MTA1 axis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effect of circular RNAs (circRNAs) is widely studied in various human cancers, including breast cancer (BC). Herein, circUSPL1 has been recognized as a new regulator for BC progression. However, the detailed biological function and molecular mechanism of circUSPL1 in BC remain vague.

Methods

The expression level of circUSPL1, miR-1296-5p and metastasis associated 1 (MTA1) was examined by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. BC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis and aerobic glycolysis were analyzed by colony formation assay, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assay, wound healing assay, transwell assay, flow cytometry and glycolysis corresponding kits, respectively. The protein level of Bcl-2, Bax, HK2, GLUT1 and MTA1 was evaluated by western blot ana
