CircRNA DENND1B inhibits tumorigenicity of clear cell renal cell carcinoma via miR-122-5p/TIMP2 axis.

ABSTRACT: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of renal cancers. However, circ_DENND1B has not been studied yet. GSE100186 dataset was used for the level analysis of circ_DENND1B. The quantitative real-time PCR was used to verify the expression of circ_DENND1B, microRNA-122-5p (miR-122-5p) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2) in ccRCC tissues and cells. Cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis were detected by colony formation assay, thymidine analog 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assay, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-y1)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide, transwell and flow cytometry. The binding of miR-122-5p to circ_DENND1B/TIMP2 was investigated by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Finally, the role of circ_DENND1B in ccRCC was detected by tumorigenesis
