Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most ordinary head and neck tumors. This study aims to uncover the role of circ-ABCB10 functions in the progression of NPC.
The circ-ABCB10 expression was detected in paired NPC patients' tissue samples and cell lines. The role of circ-ABCB10 in NPC proliferation was identified through proliferation assay, Ethynyl deoxyuridine (EdU) assay and colony formation assay. Next, the role of circ-ABCB10 in NPC metastasis was measured through wound healing assay and transwell assay. Finally, the underlying mechanism was further uncovered through Western blot assay and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).
It was found that circ-ABCB10 expression was significantly higher in NPC tissues than that in adjacent samples. In addition, cell proliferation, migration and invasion of NPC were promoted through overexpression of circ-ABCB10 in vitro. Results of further experiments revealed that ROCK1 was upregulated via overexpression of circ-ABCB10 in NPC.
This study indicated that circ-ABCB10 promoted NPC cell proliferation and metastasis via upregulating ROCK1 in vitro.
鼻咽癌(NPC)是最常见的头颈部肿瘤之一。本研究旨在揭示 circ-ABCB10 在 NPC 进展中的作用。
检测了配对的 NPC 患者组织样本和细胞系中的 circ-ABCB10 表达。通过增殖试验、Ethynyl deoxyuridine(EdU)试验和集落形成试验鉴定 circ-ABCB10 在 NPC 增殖中的作用。接下来,通过划痕愈合试验和 Transwell 试验测量 circ-ABCB10 在 NPC 转移中的作用。最后,通过 Western blot 试验和实时定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)进一步揭示潜在机制。
发现 circ-ABCB10 在 NPC 组织中的表达明显高于相邻样本。此外,体外过表达 circ-ABCB10 可促进 NPC 细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭。进一步实验结果表明,ROCK1 通过 circ-ABCB10 的过表达在上调 NPC 中上调。
本研究表明,circ-ABCB10 通过体外上调 ROCK1 促进 NPC 细胞的增殖和转移。
