Circular RNA Circ_0016760 Modulates Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Growth Through the miR-577/ZBTB7A Axis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have a poor prognosis. Circular RNA circ_0016760 (circ_0016760) is associated with the development of NSCLC. At present, the role and regulatory mechanism of circ_0016760 in NSCLC have not been well explained.

Methods

Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was executed to detect the expression of circ_0016760, miR-577, and Zinc finger and BTB domain containing 7A (ZBTB7A) mRNA in NSCLC tissues and cells. The colony formation, migration, invasion, and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) of NSCLC cells were determined through colony formation, transwell, or ECAR assays. The relationship between circ_0016760 or ZBTB7A and miR-577 was analyzed via dual-luciferase re
