The involvement of circ_RPPH1 in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC) remains unclear, as well as the underlying mechanism.
Circ_RPPH1 levels in BUC cells and tissues were measured via RT-qPCR. Downregulation of circ_RPPH1 was assessed using colony formation, CCK-8, wound healing, and Transwell assays to evaluate proliferation, migration, and invasion. RIP and RNA pull-down confirmed circ_RPPH1 binding to EIF4A3, while immunoblotting analyzed EIF4A3 and EMT-related proteins.
High circ_RPPH1 levels in BUC correlated with tumor invasion depth. Its knockout suppressed proliferation, invasion, and EMT, while circ_RPPH1 overexpression reduced EIF4A3 binding to N-cadherin and Vimentin mRNA, promoting EMT.
Circ_RPPH1 promotes tumor growth and EMT in BUC by inhibiting EIF4A3-mediated mRNA regulation, activating the EIF4A3/N-cadherin/Vimentin pathway.
circ_RPPH1在膀胱尿路上皮癌(BUC)中的作用及其潜在机制尚不清楚。
通过RT-qPCR检测BUC细胞和组织中circ_RPPH1的水平。使用集落形成、CCK-8、伤口愈合和Transwell实验评估circ_RPPH1下调对增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响。RIP和RNA下拉实验证实circ_RPPH1与EIF4A3结合,免疫印迹分析EIF4A3和EMT相关蛋白。
BUC中circ_RPPH1高表达与肿瘤浸润深度相关。敲除circ_RPPH1可抑制增殖、侵袭和EMT,而circ_RPPH1过表达减少EIF4A3与N-钙黏蛋白和波形蛋白mRNA的结合,促进EMT。
circ_RPPH1通过抑制EIF4A3介导的mRNA调控,激活EIF4A3/N-钙黏蛋白/波形蛋白通路,促进BUC肿瘤生长和EMT。
