To identify circular RNAs (circRNAs) related to osteosarcoma (OS) chemoresistance.
MATERIALS & METHODS: CircRNA expression profile was performed in three paired human chemoresistant and chemosensitive OS cell lines by next-generation sequencing. Quantitative real-time-PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to confirm next-generation sequencing data. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to predict their functions.
Eighty circRNAs were dysregulated in the chemoresistant OS cells compared with the control, after validated by qRT-PCR. Bioinformatics analysis showed that some pathways related to drug metabolism were significantly enriched. Additionally, hsa_circ_0004674 was distinctly increased in OS chemoresistant cells and tissues, related to poor prognosis. CircRNA-miRNA-mRNA pathways related to hsa_circ_0004674 were constructed by TargetScan and miRanda.
CircRNAs may play a role in OS chemoresistance and hsa_circ_0004674 might be a candidate target.
鉴定与骨肉瘤(OS)化疗耐药相关的环状 RNA(circRNAs)。
通过下一代测序对三对人源化疗耐药和化疗敏感 OS 细胞系中的 circRNA 表达谱进行分析。采用实时定量 PCR(qRT-PCR)对下一代测序数据进行验证。通过生物信息学分析预测其功能。
通过 qRT-PCR 验证,与对照相比,耐药 OS 细胞中 80 个 circRNAs 发生了失调。生物信息学分析显示,一些与药物代谢相关的通路显著富集。此外,hsa_circ_0004674 在 OS 耐药细胞和组织中明显增加,与不良预后相关。通过 TargetScan 和 miRanda 构建了与 hsa_circ_0004674 相关的 circRNA-miRNA-mRNA 通路。
circRNAs 可能在 OS 化疗耐药中发挥作用,hsa_circ_0004674 可能是一个候选靶点。
