Circular RNAs play an important role in regulating lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Bioinformatics analysis identified circ_0015278 as differentially expressed in LUAD. However, the biological mechanism of circ_0015278 in LUAD has not been fully clarified, especially in ferroptosis.
Bioinformatics analysis was employed to explore the downstream mechanisms of Circ_0015278, subsequently confirmed by luciferase reporter assays. The impact of Circ_0015278 on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and ferroptosis was investigated through a loss-of-function experiment. A xenotransplantation mouse model elucidated the effect of Circ_0015278 on tumour growth.
Circ_0015278 exhibited downregulation in LUAD. It inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while promoting ferroptosis by interacting with miR-1228 to regulate P53 expression through a competitive endogenous RNA mechanism. Moreover, circ_0015278 suppressed tumour growth in mice.
Circ_0015278 was identified as a novel factor promoting ferroptosis in LUAD. Furthermore, it suppressed the malignant progression of LUAD through the miR-1228/P53 axis.
环状RNA在调节肺腺癌（LUAD）中起重要作用。生物信息学分析确定circ_0015278在LUAD中差异表达。然而，circ_0015278在LUAD中的生物学机制尚未完全阐明，尤其是在铁死亡方面。
采用生物信息学分析探索Circ_0015278的下游机制，随后通过荧光素酶报告基因检测进行验证。通过功能缺失实验研究Circ_0015278对细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭和铁死亡的影响。异种移植小鼠模型阐明了Circ_0015278对肿瘤生长的影响。
Circ_0015278在LUAD中表达下调。它通过与miR-1228相互作用，以竞争性内源RNA机制调节P53表达，从而抑制细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭，同时促进铁死亡。此外，circ_0015278抑制小鼠肿瘤生长。
Circ_0015278被确定为促进LUAD铁死亡的新因子。此外，它通过miR-1228/P53轴抑制LUAD的恶性进展。
