Retinoblastoma (RB) is the commonest primary intraocular malignancy during childhood. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) act as regulators in RB development, and hsa_circ_E2F5 (circ_0084811 in this study) was found to be highly expressed in RB cells, so we wanted to identify its detailed molecular mechanism.
The expression level of circ_0084811 in RB cells was tested by RT-qPCR and its effects on RB cells were evaluated through functional assays. The regulatory mechanism that circ_0084811 may exert in RB progression was testified through mechanism experiments.
High circ_0084811 expression in RB cells facilitated cell proliferation but inhibited cell apoptosis. The enrichment of acetylation of histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27ac) in circ_0084811 promoter induced circ_0084811 upregulation. Moreover, circ_0084811 regulated E2F transcription factor 5 (E2F5) expression via sponging microRNA-18a-5p (miR-18a-5p) and microRNA-18b-5p (miR-18b-5p).
circ_0084811 modulated RB progression via the miR-18a-5p/miR-18b-5p/E2F5 axis.
视网膜母细胞瘤(RB)是儿童期最常见的眼内原发性恶性肿瘤。环状 RNA(circRNAs)在 RB 发育中起调节作用,我们发现 hsa_circ_E2F5(本研究中的 circ_0084811)在 RB 细胞中高度表达,因此我们想确定其详细的分子机制。
通过 RT-qPCR 检测 RB 细胞中 circ_0084811 的表达水平,并通过功能测定评估其对 RB 细胞的影响。通过机制实验验证 circ_0084811 可能在 RB 进展中发挥的调节机制。
RB 细胞中 circ_0084811 的高表达促进了细胞增殖,但抑制了细胞凋亡。circ_0084811 启动子中组蛋白 3 赖氨酸 27 乙酰化(H3K27ac)的富集诱导 circ_0084811 的上调。此外,circ_0084811 通过海绵 microRNA-18a-5p(miR-18a-5p)和 microRNA-18b-5p(miR-18b-5p)调节 E2F 转录因子 5(E2F5)的表达。
