CircRAE1 promotes colorectal cancer cell migration and invasion by modulating miR-338-3p/TYRO3 axis.

ABSTRACT: Background:Growing evidence has revealed the involvement of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in numerous carcinogenesis. However, the role of circRNAs in the cancer biology of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains vague. Methods:Quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the expression level of circRAE1 in CRC tissues and CRC cell lines. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were detected using CCK8 assay, Colony formation assay, wound-healing and Transwell assays. The interaction between circRAE1 and miR-338-3p and TRYO3 was confirmed using dual-luciferase reporter assays. Results:We uncovered a novel circRNA Hsa_circ_0060967 (also known as circRAE1) that was remarkably increased in CRC tissues. The high circRAE1 level was positively associated with advanced tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, and tumor size. The loss-of-function assay showed that circRAE1 accelerated cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Besides, miR-338-3p was lowly expressed in the CRC tissues and CRC cell lines. The dual-luciferase reporter assays showed that circRAE1 could sponge miR-338-3p, which targeted TRYO3 in CRC cells. Furthermore, the overexpression of circRAE1 could rescue the impaired migration and invasion triggered by miR-338-3p mimics or si-TYRO3 in CRC cells and vice versa. Conclusion:We identified the network of circRAE1, miR-338-3p, and TYRO3 in CRC cells and determined that the increase in circRAE1 could serve as an oncogene by sponging miR-338-3p, which resulted in an upregulated TYRO3 expression. The finding suggests that circRAE1 is a potential therapeutic target and diagnostic marker for CRC treatment.

Project description:BackgroundCircular RNA microarray analysis showed hsa_circ_0010235 (circ_0010235) was highly upregulated in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients; however, its role in carcinogenesis and development of NSCLC cells was unrevealed. Here, we intended to investigate role and mechanism of circ_0010235 in NSCLC proliferation, migration and invasion.Methods and resultsExpression of circ_0010235, microRNA (miR)-338-3p and kinesin family member 2A (KIF2A) was detected by quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Cell progression was measured by cell-counting kit-8 assay, 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, flow cytometry, transwell assay, western blotting, IHC and xenograft experiment. The relationship among circ_0010235, miR-338-3p and KIF2A was determined by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation and Pearson's correlation analysis. Expression of circ_0010235 was increased in human NSCLC tissues and cells, accompanied with miR-338-3p downregulation and KIF2A upregulation. Essentially, circ_0010235 could sponge miR-338-3p via target binding, and miR-338-3p downstream targeted KIF2A. Functionally, exhaustion of circ_0010235 induced apoptosis rate of NSCLC cells and curbed cell viability, EdU incorporation, migration rate and invasion rate, accompanied with higher E-cadherin and lower N-cadherin expression. Additionally, re-expression of miR-338-3p prompted above similar effects in NSCLC cells in vitro. Contrarily, miR-338-3p blockage partially counteract the effects of circ_0010235 exhaustion; plus, restoration of KIF2A could attenuate miR-338-3p role, as well. Notably, interfering circ_0010235 delayed tumour growth of NSCLC cells by promoting miR-338-3p and E-cadherin expression, and depressing KIF2A, ki-67 and N-cadherin expression.Conclusionscirc_0010235 could be a novel identified oncogenic circRNA in NSCLC, and targeting miR-338-3p/KIF2A axis was one regulatory mechanism underlying circ_0010235.KEY MESSAGECirc_0010235 was an upregulated circRNA in NSCLC patients and cells.Interfering circ_0010235 restrained NSCLC cell proliferation and metastasis in vitro and in vivo.miR-338-3p per se suppressed NSCLC in vitro and its downregulation diminished the tumour-suppressive role of circ_0010235 blockage in NSCLC cells.miR-338-3p could downstream target KIF2A and be sponged by circ_0010235.
