Direct circMAN1A2(2,3,4,5)-CENPB mRNA interaction regulates cell proliferation and cancer progression
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Alternative circularization (AC) results in multiple circular transcripts from a single gene locus. Here, we profile the landscape of AC across multiple cell lines and colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues, and identify alternatively-circularized circMAN1A2(2,3,4,5) as a universally and predominantly expressed circular RNA, playing a role in cell proliferation and CRC progression. Mechanistically, circMAN1A2(2,3,4,5) enhances IGF2BP2-mediated Centromere Protein B (CENPB) mRNA stability through a direct interaction with CENPB mRNA via its characteristic back-splicing junction site. Both shRNAs and locked nucleic acids specifically targeting circMAN1A2(2,3,4,5) inhibit CRC progression, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for CRC treatment.
