CircTADA2A suppresses the progression of colorectal cancer via miR-374a-3p/KLF14 axis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the causes of cancer-related death worldwide. The aim of our study was to disclose the expression pattern and underlying molecular mechanism of circular RNA TADA2A (circTADA2A) in CRC.

Methods

The levels of circTADA2A, transcriptional adaptor 2A (TADA2A), microRNA-374a-3p (miR-374a-3p) and Kruppel like factor 14 (KLF14) were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Xenograft tumor assay was used to uncover the function of circTADA2A in vivo. The miRNA targets of circTADA2A were searched using circbank and starbase softwares, while DIANA TOOL was used to explore miR-374a-3p-mRNA interactions. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were performed to validate the target
