Circular RNA circNRIP1 promotes migration and invasion in cervical cancer by sponging miR-629-3p and regulating the PTP4A1/ERK1/2 pathway.

ABSTRACT: Emerging evidence indicates that circRNAs play essential roles in tumorigenesis and development. However, the role of circRNAs in cervical cancer (CC) remains unclear. CircRNA microarrays performed on the immortal cervical cell line H8 and the cervical cancer cell line SiHa were used to identify a circRNA, termed circNRIP1 (hsa_circ_0004771), which was upregulated in SiHa. QRT-PCR confirmed that circNRIP1 was upregulated in CC tissues, where its expression was correlated with lymphovascular space invasion. Besides, both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that circNRIP1 promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Additionally, we found that miR-629-3p induced tumor suppression by regulating PTP4A1 and the ERK1/2 pathway. Finally, we confirmed that circNRIP1 exerts its effect, at least partially, by sponging miR-629-3p and thereby regulating the PTP4A1/ERK1/2 pathway. Therefore, circNRIP1 may be useful as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in CC patients.

Project description:As a recently discovered noncoding RNA, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified to play key roles in cancer biology; however, the detailed functions and mechanisms of circRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain largely unclarified. RNA-seq analysis was used to screen the expression profiles of circRNAs in HCC. CircZNF566 expression in HCC tissues and cell lines was detected by qRT-PCR. In vitro CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing, transwell migration, and invasion assays and in vivo tumorigenesis and metastasis assays were conducted to determine the functions of circZNF566. Luciferase reporter, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull-down assays were also performed to confirm the relationship between circZNF566 and miR-4738-3p. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assays were employed to determine whether miR-4738-3p regulates tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2) expression. Finally, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the level of TDO2 and determine its prognostic value. CircZNF566 was significantly upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. High circZNF566 expression in HCC tissues was positively correlated with clinicopathological features and poor prognosis. Functionally, in vitro experiments showed that circZNF566 promoted HCC cell migration, invasion, and proliferation, whereas in vivo experiments showed that circZNF566 promoted tumorigenesis and metastasis. Mechanistically, circZNF566 acted as a miR-4738-3p sponge to relieve the repressive effect of miR-4738-3p on its target TDO2. In addition, miR-4738-3p suppressed HCC cell migration, invasion, and proliferation, while TDO2 was positively correlated with pathological features and poor prognosis and promoted cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in HCC. CircZNF566 is a novel tumor promoter in HCC and functions through the circZNF566/ miR-4738-3p /TDO2 axis; in addition, circZNF566 may serve as a novel diagnostic marker, prognostic indicator, and target for the treatment of HCC.
