Silencing of cZNF292 circular RNA suppresses human glioma tube formation via the Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT: CircRNA is a novel type of RNA molecule formed by a covalently closed loop which have no 5'-3' polarity and possess no polyA tail and relatively stable due to the cyclic structure. Therefore, they may serve as potential targets and diagnosis biomarkers for tumor therapy. cZNF292 is an important circular oncogenic RNA and plays a critical role in the progression of tube formation. This study is aimed at exploring the role of cZNF292 in human glioma tube formation and its potential mechanism of action. We found that cZNF292 silencing suppresses tube formation by inhibiting glioma cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. Cell cycle progression in human glioma U87MG and U251 cells was halted at S/G2/M phase via the Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway and related genes such as PRR11, Cyclin A, p-CDK2, VEGFR-1/2, p-VEGFR-1/2 and EGFR. The results suggest that cZNF292 silencing plays an important role in the tube formation process and has potential for application as a therapeutic target and biomarker in glioma.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough there are many treatments for breast cancer, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, estrogen receptor antagonists, immune checkpoint inhibitors and so on. However, safer and more effective therapeutic drugs for breast cancer are needed. Sinensetin, a safer therapeutic drugs, come from citrus species and medicinal plants used in traditional medicine, while its role and underlying mechanism in breast cancer remain unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of sinensetin in breast cancer.MethodsCell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to determine the safe concentration of sinensetin in MCF-10A, MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells; 120 μM sinensetin was used in subsequent experiments. Real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blotting, Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) apoptosis assay, Transwell invasion assay and Clone formation assay were used in this study to determine cell viability, mRNA expression, protein levels, apoptosis, proliferation, invasion and so on.ResultsHerein, our results showed that 120 μM sinensetin suppressed the cell viability and promoted apoptosis of MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Treatment with 120 µM sinensetin for 24 h showed no significant toxicity to normal mammary cells; 120 μM sinensetin decreased cell proliferation, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and downregulated β-catenin, lymphatic enhancing factor 1 (LEF1), T-cell factor (TCF) 1/TCF7, and TCF3/TCF7L1 expression in MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. The Wnt agonist SKL2001 reversed the inhibitory effect of sinensetin on cell survival, metastasis, and EMT. Sinensetin-induced downregulation of β-catenin, LEF1, and TCF1/TCF7 expression were upregulated by SKL2001 in MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells.ConclusionsIn summary, sinensetin suppressed the metastasis of breast cancer cell via inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin pathway and there were no adverse effects on normal breast cells. Our study confirmed the role of sinensetin in breast cancer cells and provided a better understanding of the underlying mechanism.
