Hypoxia-enhanced YAP1-EIF4A3 interaction drives circ_0007386 circularization by competing with CRIM1 pre-mRNA linear splicing and promotes non-small cell lung cancer progression.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is significantly influenced by circular RNAs (circRNAs), especially in tumor hypoxia microenvironment. However, the precise functions and underlying mechanisms of dysregulated circRNAs in NSCLC remain largely unexplored.

Methods

Differentially expressed circRNAs in NSCLC tissues were identified through high-throughput RNA sequencing. The characteristics of circ_0007386 were rigorously confirmed via Sanger sequencing, RNase R treatment and actinomycin D treatment. The effects of circ_0007386 on proliferation and apoptosis were investigated using CCK8, cloning formation assays, TUNEL staining, and flow cytometry assays in vitro. In vivo, xenograft tumor models were used to evaluate its impact on proliferation. Me
