Dysregulated circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been verified to function in the development of gastric cancer (GC). The current study was designed to investigate the role of circ_0000419 in GC progression, and the potential mechanistic pathway.
Relative expression of circ_0000419, microRNA-300 (miR-300) and Repulsive Guidance Molecule B (RGMB) was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay. Cell metastasis, including migration and invasion, was assessed by wound healing and Transwell assays. Glucose consumption and lactate production were examined using kits. The association between miR-300 and circ_0000419 or RGMB was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Role of circ_0000419 in vivo was determined by xenograft experiment.
Circ_0000419 and RGMB were downregulated, while miR-300 was upregulated in GC tissues and cells. Gain of circ_0000419 inhibited migration, invasion and glycolysis in GC cells, which was attenuated by introduction of miR-300 or silencing of RGMB. Circ_0000419 sponged miR-300, and RGMB was direct target of miR-300. Circ_0000419 overexpression could block GC tumor growth in vivo.
Circ_0000419 inhibited GC cell migration, invasion and glycolysis through regulation of miR-300/RGMB axis, at least in part, affording a molecular target for GC treatment.
失调的环状 RNA(circRNAs)已被证实参与胃癌(GC)的发展。本研究旨在探讨 circ_0000419 在 GC 进展中的作用及其潜在的机制途径。
通过定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)分析 circ_0000419、microRNA-300(miR-300)和排斥性导向分子 B(RGMB)的相对表达。通过划痕愈合和 Transwell 测定评估细胞迁移和侵袭。使用试剂盒检测葡萄糖消耗和乳酸生成。通过双荧光素酶报告基因检测和 RNA 免疫沉淀(RIP)实验验证 miR-300 与 circ_0000419 或 RGMB 的关联。通过异种移植实验确定 circ_0000419 在体内的作用。
circ_0000419 和 RGMB 在 GC 组织和细胞中下调,而 miR-300 上调。circ_0000419 的获得抑制了 GC 细胞的迁移、侵袭和糖酵解,而引入 miR-300 或沉默 RGMB 则减弱了这种抑制作用。circ_0000419 吸附 miR-300,而 RGMB 是 miR-300 的直接靶标。circ_0000419 的过表达可以在体内抑制 GC 肿瘤的生长。
circ_0000419 通过调节 miR-300/RGMB 轴抑制 GC 细胞的迁移、侵袭和糖酵解,至少部分地为 GC 治疗提供了一个分子靶点。
