Hsa_circ_0002082 up-regulates Centromere Protein F via abolishing miR-508-3p to promote breast cancer progression.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) dysregulation has been revealed to function in the pathological processes of cancers. Herein, the role and mechanisms of hsa_circ_0002082 in breast cancer (BC) progression were elucidated.

Methods

In vivo and in vitro functional experiments were conducted, and the interaction between miR-508-3p and hsa_circ_0002082 or Centromere Protein F (CENPF) was elucidated.

Results

Hsa_circ_0002082 expression was higher in BC tissues and cell lines. Functionally, knockdown of hsa_circ_0002082 induced apoptosis and suppressed proliferation and metastasis in BC cells in vitro. Mechanistically, hsa_circ_0002082 targeted miR-508-3p, which was confirmed to be decreased in BC. MiR-508-3p overexpression suppressed BC cell malignant phenotypes, moreover, inhibition of miR-508-3p attenuated the anticancer action of hsa_circ_0002082 silencing on BC cells. Besides that, miR-508-3p targeted CENPF, CENPF was highly expressed in BC, CENPF up-regulation reversed the suppressive impacts of miR-508-3p on BC cell growth and metastasis. Besides, hsa_circ_0002082 silencing impeded BC growth in nude mice.

Conclusion

Knockdown of hsa_circ_0002082 suppresses breast cancer growth and metastasis by miR-508-3p/CENPF axis, suggesting that hsa_circ_0002082 may be a promising target for breast cancer treatment.

Project description:Objective: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been shown to participate in various cancers via sponging miRNAs (microRNAs). However, their role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains elusive. Methods: The transcriptome data and corresponding clinical information of lung adenocarcinoma samples were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs), differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs), and differentially expressed genes (DEgenes) were identified and further used to constructed a circRNA-associated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Real-Time qPCR analysis was conducted to examine gene expression at transcriptional level. The regulatory mechanisms of circRNA-miRNA-gene were validated by dual-luciferase reporter array and RNA pull-down assay. Cell growth, migration and invasion were evaluated by CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay and transwell assay, respectively. Results: Based on public microarray data, we systematically constructed a circRNA-associated ceRNA network including 11 DEcircRNAs, 8 DEmiRNAs and 49 DEgenes. Among the ceRNA network, we found that circ-0002727 was a key regulatory and was further confirmed to be upregulated in LUAD cancer cells. Subsequently, we found that silencing of circ-0002727 significantly suppressed the LUAD cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. Mechanistically, we showed that circ-0002727 could competitively bind miR-144-3p to enhance the KIF14 expression in LUAD cells. Rescue assays indicated that circ-0002727 could regulate LUAD cell proliferation through modulating miR-144-3p/KIF14 pathway. Besides, KIF14 expression level was positively correlated with TNM stage and metastasis, and patients with high KIF14 expression suffered poor prognosis. Conclusion: Taken together, our study revealed that circ-0002727 could act as a ceRNA to regulate LUAD progression via modulating miR-144-3p/KIF14 pathway, providing a potential therapeutic target for LUAD.

Project description:BackgroundGastric cancer (GC) is the third-leading cause of cancer-associated mortalities globally. The deregulation of circular RNAs (circRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) is widely implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of different cancer types.MethodsThe expression profiling of circRNAs in GC is required to identify crucial circRNAs as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. In the present study, a published circRNA microarray dataset was used to identify differentially expressed circRNAs between GC tissues and normal gastric mucosa tissues. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was performed to validate the expression of circ_0001789. Fisher's exact test, receiver operating characteristic curve and Kaplan-Meier plots were employed to analyze the clinical significance of circ_0001789. The miRNA targets of circ_0001789 were predicted using an online database, and their functional interaction was further confirmed by RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation and dual luciferase reporter assays. Transwell assays were conducted to investigate the biological functions of circ_0001789, miR-140-3p and p21 activated kinase 2 (PAK2) in the migration and invasion of GC cells. A xenograft mouse model was established to validate the role of circ_0001789 in the tumorigenesis of GC cells.Resultscirc_0001789 was identified as a highly expressed circRNA in GC tissues versus normal gastric mucosa tissues. Silencing circ_0001789 attenuated the malignancy of GC cells, and exosomal circ_0001789 was sufficient to regulate the malignant phenotype of GC cells. miR-140-3p was further identified as a downstream target of circ_0001789, which showed a negative correlation with circ_0001789 expression in GC tissues. Overexpression of miR-140-3p suppressed cell migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in GC cells. PAK2 was identified as the target of miR-140-3 to mediate the malignant phenotype of GC cells.ConclusionThe present data suggested that the upregulation of circ_0001789 was associated with the progression of GC and with poor prognosis in patients with GC, and that miR-140-3p/PAK2 served as the downstream axis to mediate the oncogenic effect of circ_0001789.
