Circ_RNF13 Regulates the Stemness and Chemosensitivity of Colorectal Cancer by Transcriptional Regulation of DDX27 Mediated by TRIM24 Stabilization.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers with high incidence and poor prognosis worldwide. Circ_RNF13 is upregulated in CRC; however, the biological roles and downstream signaling of circ_RNF13 remain undefined.

Methods

The characterization of circ_RNF13 was determined by Sanger sequencing, qRT-PCR, subcellular fractionation assay, and RNA FISH. Western blot analysis and qRT-PCR were employed to detect the expression of the key molecules and stemness markers in CRC tumor samples and cells. The stem-like activities of CRC cells were assessed by sphere formation assay, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence (IF). Cell viability was monitored by CCK-8 assay. The chemosensitivity of CRC cells was assessed by colony formation and cell apopt
