Upregulated circPDK1 Promotes RCC Cell Migration and Invasion by Regulating the miR-377-3P-NOTCH1 Axis in Renal Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are novel clusters of endogenous noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) that are involved in the regulation of multiple biological processes in diverse types of cancers. However, the roles and precise mechanisms of circRNAs in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occurrence and progression have not been clearly elucidated.

Methods

We identified the aberrantly expressed circRNAs in RCC by high-throughput RNA-seq assay and used qRT-PCR to test the expression level of circRNAs in RCC tissues. Loss-of-function experiments were executed to detect the biological roles of circPDK1 in the RCC cells both in vivo and in vitro. RNA Fish, luciferase reporter assays and Western blotting were used to explore the molecular mechanism of circPDK1 function. All data w
