MiR-200c plays a central role in glucose metabolism in cancer cells. However, its upstream regulators in this process are unknown. CircRNA CSPP1 (circCSPP1) was predicted to bind to premature miR-200c, an oncogenic miRNA. Therefore, we explored their interaction in osteosarcoma (OS).
Differential circCSPP1 and miR-200c expression in OS was analyzed using RT-qPCR. Glucose metabolism was analyzed by glucose uptake assay. Subcellular circCSPP1 location in OS cells was detected using cellular fractionation assay. The direct interaction between circCSPP1 and miR-200c was explored using RNA-RNA pull-down assay. The role of circCSPP1 in miR-200c maturation was investigated by analyzing both mature and premature miR-200c levels in OS cells with circCSPP1 overexpression.
CircCSPP1 and premature miR-200c levels were increased while mature miR-200c level was decreased in OS. CircCSPP1 was detected in both the nuclear and cytoplasm fractions of OS cells. CircCSPP1 directly interacted with premature miR-200c. CircCSPP1 overexpression increased premature miR-200c level, glucose uptake, and cell proliferation, but decreased mature miR-200c level. MiR-200c overexpression suppressed the role of circCSPP1 in OS cells.
CircCSPP1 promotes OS cell proliferation and increases glucose metabolism by suppressing miR-200c maturation.
miR-200c 在癌细胞的葡萄糖代谢中发挥核心作用。然而,其在该过程中的上游调节因子尚不清楚。环状 RNA CSPP1(circCSPP1)被预测与致癌 miRNA 前体 miR-200c 结合。因此,我们在骨肉瘤(OS)中探索了它们的相互作用。
使用 RT-qPCR 分析 OS 中差异表达的 circCSPP1 和 miR-200c。通过葡萄糖摄取测定法分析葡萄糖代谢。使用细胞分馏测定法检测 OS 细胞中 circCSPP1 的亚细胞定位。使用 RNA-RNA 下拉测定法探索 circCSPP1 和 miR-200c 之间的直接相互作用。通过分析 OS 细胞中 circCSPP1 过表达时成熟和前体 miR-200c 的水平,研究 circCSPP1 在 miR-200c 成熟中的作用。
OS 中 circCSPP1 和前体 miR-200c 水平升高,而成熟 miR-200c 水平降低。circCSPP1 在 OS 细胞的核和细胞质部分均有检测到。circCSPP1 与前体 miR-200c 直接相互作用。circCSPP1 过表达增加前体 miR-200c 水平、葡萄糖摄取和细胞增殖,但降低成熟 miR-200c 水平。miR-200c 过表达抑制了 circCSPP1 在 OS 细胞中的作用。
circCSPP1 通过抑制 miR-200c 的成熟来促进 OS 细胞的增殖和增加葡萄糖代谢。
