CircMCTP2 (has-circ-0000658) facilitates the proliferation and metastasis of bladder carcinoma through modulating the miR-498/murine double minute-2 axis.

ABSTRACT: CircMCTP2 is a novel circRNA, which is associated with various kinds of malignant tumors progression, such as gastric cancer. However, the function of circMCTP2 in bladder carcinoma (BC) has no idea. The purpose of this study was tantamount to functionally dissect circMCTP2 in the progression of BC. In our study, circMCTP2 expression was strongly increased in BC tissues and cell lines. High expression of circMCTP2 predicted a poor prognosis of BC patients. CircMCTP2 deficiency impaired the cell growth, migration as well as invasive ability of BC cell lines (J82 and T24). In vivo, circMCTP2 deficiency cut the tumor growth rates and the tumor weight. In BC cells, circMCTP2 deficiency enhanced the translation of E-cadherin, while diminishing the translation of N-cadherin, Vimentin, and
