We aimed to demonstrate the effects circ_0058063 exerted on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its downstream mechanism associated with miR-145-5p and SERPINE1.
The relevant contents of miR-145-5p, circ 0058063, and SERPINE1 mRNAs in OSCC were evaluated using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Functional experiments including CCK-8, Transwell, Western blot, and in vivo experiment were implemented to investigate the biological impacts on OSCC cells. Using dual-luciferase reporter, RIP, and RNA pull-down assays, the direct binding relationship between miR-145-5p, circ 0058063, and SERPINE1, SMAD3, CYR61, and IGF1R mRNAs was verified.
In OSCC, Circ 0058063 was significantly overexpressed. Knockdown of circ_0058063 suppressed OSCC cell migration and proliferation, but enhanced cell apoptosis. Functionally and mechanistically, circ_0058063 could specifically bind with miR-145-5p and thus upregulated expression of downstream target SERPINE1, which together contributed to the progression of OSCC.
Circ_0058063 could promote the malignant behavior of OSCC by upregulating SERPINE1 through sponging miR-145-5p.
本研究旨在探讨 circ_0058063 对口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)的影响及其与 miR-145-5p 和 SERPINE1 相关的下游机制。
采用实时定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)评估 OSCC 中 miR-145-5p、circ_0058063 和 SERPINE1 mRNA 的相关含量。通过 CCK-8、Transwell、Western blot 和体内实验等功能实验,研究其对 OSCC 细胞的生物学影响。利用双荧光素酶报告基因、RNA 免疫沉淀(RIP)和 RNA 下拉实验验证 miR-145-5p、circ_0058063 与 SERPINE1、SMAD3、CYR61 和 IGF1R mRNA 之间的直接结合关系。
在 OSCC 中,circ_0058063 明显过表达。circ_0058063 敲低抑制 OSCC 细胞迁移和增殖,但促进细胞凋亡。功能和机制上,circ_0058063 可特异性结合 miR-145-5p,从而上调下游靶基因 SERPINE1 的表达,共同促进 OSCC 的进展。
