Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a significant role in the tumorigenesis and progression of diverse human cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma. A previous study suggested that circ_0004140 expression was increased in lung adenocarcinoma cells. However, the molecular mechanism of circRNA circ_0004140 involved in lung adenocarcinoma is poorly defined.
Circ_0004140, microRNA-330-5p (miR-330-5p), and NOVA alternative splicing regulator 2 (NOVA2) expression were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis ability were assessed using 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), flow cytometry, wound healing, transwell, and capillary-like network formation assays. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), cyclin D1, and NOVA2 protein levels were detected using Western blot assay. The interaction between miR-330-5p and circ_0004140 or NOVA2 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Xenograft tumor model was utilized to assess the role of circ_0004140 in tumor growth in vivo.
Circ_0004140 was upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and cell lines. Circ_0004140 silencing suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tube formation ability, and triggered the apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Circ_0004140 acted as a molecular sponge for miR-330-5p, and miR-330-5p silencing largely reversed circ_0004140 knockdown-induced effects in lung adenocarcinoma cells. NOVA2 was a target of miR-330-5p, and NOVA2 overexpression might largely overturn miR-330-5p overexpression-induced influences in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Circ_0004140 upregulated NOVA2 expression via sponging miR-330-5p in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Circ_0004140 silencing restrained xenograft tumor growth in vivo.
Circ_0004140 knockdown might suppress the malignant biological behaviors of lung adenocarcinoma cells via miR-330-5p-dependent regulation of NOVA2.
环状 RNA(circRNAs)在多种人类癌症的肿瘤发生和进展中发挥重要作用,包括肺腺癌。先前的研究表明,circ_0004140 在肺腺癌细胞中的表达增加。然而,circRNA circ_0004140 参与肺腺癌的分子机制尚不清楚。
通过实时定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)测定 circ_0004140、microRNA-330-5p(miR-330-5p)和 NOV A 剪接调节因子 2(NOVA2)的表达。使用 5-乙炔基-2'-脱氧尿苷(EdU)、流式细胞术、划痕愈合、Transwell 和毛细血管样网络形成测定评估细胞增殖、凋亡、迁移、侵袭和血管生成能力。使用 Western blot 检测增殖细胞核抗原(PCNA)、细胞周期蛋白 D1 和 NOVA2 蛋白水平。通过双荧光素酶报告基因检测验证 miR-330-5p 与 circ_0004140 或 NOVA2 之间的相互作用。利用异种移植肿瘤模型评估 circ_0004140 在体内肿瘤生长中的作用。
circ_0004140 在肺腺癌组织和细胞系中上调。circ_0004140 沉默抑制肺腺癌细胞的增殖、迁移、侵袭和管形成能力,并触发肺腺癌细胞凋亡。circ_0004140 作为 miR-330-5p 的分子海绵,而 miR-330-5p 沉默在很大程度上逆转了肺腺癌细胞中 circ_0004140 敲低诱导的效应。NOVA2 是 miR-330-5p 的靶基因,而 miR-330-5p 过表达在很大程度上推翻了肺腺癌细胞中 miR-330-5p 过表达诱导的影响。circ_0004140 通过在肺腺癌细胞中海绵吸附 miR-330-5p 而上调 NOVA2 表达。circ_0004140 沉默抑制体内异种移植肿瘤生长。
circ_0004140 敲低可能通过 miR-330-5p 依赖性调节 NOV A2 抑制肺腺癌细胞的恶性生物学行为。
