Circular RNA hsa_circ_0000282 contributes to osteosarcoma cell proliferation by regulating miR-192/XIAP axis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as a novel category of non-coding RNA, which exhibit a pivotal effect on regulating gene expression and biological functions, yet how circRNAs function in osteosarcoma (OSA) still demands further investigation. This study aimed at probing into the function of hsa_circ_0000282 in OSA. METHODS:The expressions of circ_0000282 and miR-192 in OSA tissues and cell lines were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and the correlation between the expression level of circ_0000282 and clinicopathological features of OSA patients was analyzed. The expressions of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) in OSA cells were assayed by Western blot. The proliferation and apoptosis of OSA cells were examined by CCK-8, BrdU and flow cytometry, respectively. Bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and RIP experiments were employed to predict and validate the targeting relationships between circ_0000282 and miR-192, and between miR-192 and XIAP, respectively. RESULTS:Circ_0000282 was highly expressed in OSA tissues and cell lines, which represented positive correlation with Enneking stage of OSA patients and negative correlation with tumor differentiation degree. In vitro experiments confirmed that overexpression of circ_0000282 markedly facilitated OSA cell proliferation and repressed cancer cell apoptosis in comparison to control group. Besides, knockdown of circ_0000282 repressed OSA cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. Additionally, the binding relationships between circ_0000282 and miR-192, and between miR-192 and XIAP were validated. Circ_0000282 indirectly up-regulated XIAP expression by adsorbing miR-192, thereby playing a role in promoting cancer in OSA. CONCLUSION:Circ_0000282 was a novel oncogenic circRNA in OSA. Circ_0000282/miR-192/XIAP axis regulated OSA cell proliferation apoptosis with competitive endogenous RNA mechanism.

Project description:BackgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most common malignant bone tumors in children and adolescents. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are critical regulators involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms of circRNA in OS are still not fully understood.MethodsThe circRNA expression profiles were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and analyzed by GEO2R. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to predict the potential target miRNAs of hsa_circ_0069117 and its downstream mRNAs. The co-expression of hsa_circ_0069117/miR-875-3p/PF4V1 axis was further validated in OS tissue samples via quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Luciferase reporter gene plasmids containing the sequence of PF4V1 and hsa_circ_0069117 were constructed to verify the putative sites of miR-875-3p. Gain/loss-of-function assays were performed to verify the effect of hsa_circ_0069117 on miR-875-3p/PF4V1 expression and related pathways via qRT-PCR and Western blot. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and wound-healing assays were performed to evaluate the effect of hsa_circ_0069117 on cell proliferation and migration of MG63 and U2OS, respectively.ResultsWe identified hsa_circ_0069117 as the most markedly dysregulated circRNA in OS cell lines. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that hsa_circ_0069117 might inhibit the expression of miR-875-3p, thereby promoting the expression of platelet factor 4 variant 1 (PF4V1). The expression of miR-875-3p was negatively correlated to hsa_circ_0069117 and PF4V1 in clinical samples. Luciferase reporter gene assays confirmed the binding sites of miR-875-3p on hsa_circ_0069117 and PF4V1. Gain/loss-of-function and rescue assays further indicated that hsa_circ_0069117 could significantly promote the expression of PF4V1 by sponging miR-875-3p, thereby inhibiting the proliferation and migration of OS cells by suppressing ERK1 and AKT.ConclusionOur study revealed that hsa_circ_0069117 is an anti-OS molecule that could substantially attenuate cell proliferation and migration of OS, which may provide a novel and reliable molecular target for the treatment of OS patients.
