CircRNA_103762 promotes multidrug resistance in NSCLC by targeting DNA damage inducible transcript 3 (CHOP).

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:CircRNAs have been found to play crucial roles in multiple tumor including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we researched the correlation between circRNA_103762 and chemotherapy resistance. METHODS:RT-PCR assay was performed to detect circRNA_103762 and DNA damage inducible transcript 3 (CHOP) expression. CCK8 assay was performed to examine cell proliferation and IC50 of different drug. Migration and invasion assay was used to detect cell migration and invasion. RESULTS:In our study, circRNA_103762 expression was upregulated in NSCLC tissues and cell. Knockdown of circRNA_103762 can inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion in NSCLC. In addition, downregulation of circRNA_103762 promoted CHOP expression and inhibited multidrug resistance (MDR) in NSCLC. CONCLUSION:Together, we demonstrated that circRNA_103762 is upregulated in NSCLC and functions as an oncogene in NSCLC, and circRNA_103762 enhanced MDR by inhibited CHOP expression in NSCLC cells. These results will help us understand the MDR of NSCLC, providing better effective therapy strategies for patients.
