CircRNAs have been shown to be associated with gastric cancer tumorigenesis. But little was known about the role of circPDZD8 in gastric cancer. CircPDZD8 was up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues and cells, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that gastric patients had a poor overall survival when circPDZD8 levels were high. CircPDZD8 knockdown could hinder proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells. MiR-197-5p, which was down-regulated in gastric cancer, was shown to be a target of circPDZD8 and was inversely correlated with circPDZD8 expression. CHD9, as a target gene of miR-197-5p, was negatively regulated by miR-197-5p and positively correlated with circPDZD8 expression. Importantly, circPDZD8 could up-regulate CHD9 expression by sponging miR-197-5p, and modulate cell progression by regulation of the miR-197-5p/CHD9 axis in gastric cancer. CircPDZD8 knockdown repressed the progression of gastric cancer cells by sponging miR-197-5p and down-regulating CHD9.
环状RNA已被证明与胃癌的发生有关。但关于circPDZD8在胃癌中的作用知之甚少。circPDZD8在胃癌组织和细胞中上调,Kaplan-Meier生存分析表明,当circPDZD8水平较高时,胃癌患者的总生存期较差。circPDZD8敲低可阻碍胃癌细胞的增殖和迁移。在胃癌中表达下调的miR-197-5p被证明是circPDZD8的靶标,且与circPDZD8表达呈负相关。CHD9作为miR-197-5p的靶基因,受到miR-197-5p的负调控,并与circPDZD8表达呈正相关。重要的是,circPDZD8可通过吸附miR-197-5p上调CHD9表达,并通过调节胃癌中的miR-197-5p/CHD9轴来调节细胞进程。circPDZD8敲低通过吸附miR-197-5p和下调CHD9抑制胃癌细胞的进程。
