CircRNA_0005529 facilitates growth and metastasis of gastric cancer via regulating miR-527/Sp1 axis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs, which are associated with various biological processes, including microRNA (miRNA) interaction, protein binding and regulatory splicing. circRNA_0005529 (circ_0005529) is derived from vacuolar protein sorting 33 homologue B (VPS33B), and its biological role in gastric cancer (GC) has not been examined. In this study, the expression and location of circ_0005529 and microRNA-527 (miR-527) were determined by qRT-PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Cell proliferation and cell migration were determined by MTT, EdU incorporation, colony formation, wound scratch and transwell assays. In addition, immunohistochemistry and western blotting were performed to determine the expressions of specificity protein 1 (
