Exosomes Mediated Transfer of Circ_0000337 Contributes to Cisplatin (CDDP) Resistance of Esophageal Cancer by Regulating JAK2 via miR-377-3p.

ABSTRACT: Background: Chemoresistance remains a major obstacle to the treatment of esophageal cancer patients. Exosome-mediated transfer of circular RNAs (circRNAs) has been reported to be related to drug resistance in esophageal cancer. This study is designed to explore the role and mechanism of exosomal circ_0000337 on CDDP resistance in esophageal cancer. Methods: Cell viability, proliferation, colony number, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, flow cytometry, and transwell assays. Circ_0000337, microRNA-377 (miR-377-3p), and Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) levels were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Exosomes were isolated and detected by differential centrifugation and a transmission electr
