It has been reported that circular RNA hsa_circ_0044907 (circ_0044907) expression is overtly elevated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient-derived BMMCs. However, the effect of circ_0044907 on AML progression remains un-clarified.
Expression of circ_0044907 in BM and AML cells were detected with real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, and cycle progression were determined by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU), and flow cytometry assays. The regulatory mechanism of circ_0044907 was predicted by bioinformatics analysis and validated by dual-luciferase reporter, RNA pull-down, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. experiments were carried out to verify the function of circ_0044907.
Circ_0044907 was overexpressed in AML patient-derived BM and AML cells. Furthermore, circ_0044907 could distinguish AML patients from healthy controls, and high circ_0044907 expression in BM had a poor prognosis for AML patients, implying that circ_0044907 served as a diagnostic and prognostic indicator for AML. Functionally, circ_0044907 silencing reduced cell viability, restrained cell proliferation, arrested cell cycle progression, and induced cell apoptosis in AML cells . Furthermore, circ_0044907 knockdown decreased AML cell growth in xenograft mouse models. Mechanically, circ_0044907 sponged miR-186-5p to block the inhibiting effect of miR-186-5p on KIT. Silenced miR-186-5p expression weakened circ_0044907 knockdown mediated suppression on AML cell viability, proliferation, and cycle progression. Also, forced KIT expression weakened miR-186-5p upregulation mediated inhibition on AML cell viability, proliferation, and cycle progression.
Circ_0044907 absorbed miR-186-5p to block the inhibiting impact of miR-186-5p on KIT, thus promoting AML progression.
据报道,环状 RNA hsa_circ_0044907(circ_0044907)在急性髓系白血病(AML)患者来源的 BMMCs 中明显上调。然而,circ_0044907 对 AML 进展的影响仍不清楚。
采用实时定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)检测 BM 和 AML 细胞中 circ_0044907 的表达。采用 3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基)-2,5-二苯基四氮唑溴盐(MTT)、5-乙炔基-2'-脱氧尿苷(EDU)和流式细胞术检测细胞活力、增殖、凋亡和细胞周期进程。通过生物信息学分析预测 circ_0044907 的调控机制,并通过双荧光素酶报告、RNA 下拉和 RNA 免疫沉淀(RIP)实验进行验证。进行实验以验证 circ_0044907 的功能。
circ_0044907 在 AML 患者来源的 BM 和 AML 细胞中高表达。此外,circ_0044907 可区分 AML 患者和健康对照者,BM 中高 circ_0044907 表达对 AML 患者预后不良,表明 circ_0044907 可作为 AML 的诊断和预后指标。功能上,circ_0044907 沉默降低了 AML 细胞活力,抑制了细胞增殖,阻滞了细胞周期进程,并诱导了 AML 细胞凋亡。此外,circ_0044907 敲低抑制了异种移植小鼠模型中 AML 细胞的生长。机制上,circ_0044907 海绵吸附 miR-186-5p 以阻断 miR-186-5p 对 KIT 的抑制作用。沉默 miR-186-5p 表达减弱了 circ_0044907 敲低对 AML 细胞活力、增殖和细胞周期进程的抑制作用。此外,强制表达 KIT 减弱了 miR-186-5p 上调对 AML 细胞活力、增殖和细胞周期进程的抑制作用。
circ_0044907 吸收 miR-186-5p 以阻断 miR-186-5p 对 KIT 的抑制作用,从而促进 AML 进展。
