Hsa_circ_101882 promotes migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells by regulating EMT.

ABSTRACT:

Background

At present, gastric cancer (GC) is a serious threat to human life and health. Non-coding circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found abnormal expression in multiple tumors. However, circRNAs remain largely unknown in tumor progression. In the present study, we mainly examined the expression, function, and molecular mechanisms of a new circRNAs (hsa_circ_101882) in GC.

Materials and methods

The expression of hsa_circ_101882 in GC tissue, corresponding adjacent normal tissues, and GC cell lines was examined by RT-PCR. The function of hsa_circ_101882 in GC was evaluated by MTT assay, cell migration, and invasion assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometric assay. The effect of hsa_circ_101882 on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related gene expression wa
