Circ_0087378 intensifies the malignant behavior of non-small cell lung cancer cells in vitro by facilitating DDR1 via sponging miR-199a-5p
BACKGROUND: Circular RNA hsa_circ_0087378 (circ_0087378) has been found to have different functions in different cancer types. However, its function in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. This study revealed the effect of circ_0087378 on the malignant behavior of NSCLC cells in vitro...

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Circular RNA hsa_circ_0087378 (circ_0087378) has been found to have different functions in different cancer types. However, its function in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. This study revealed the effect of circ_0087378 on the malignant behavior of NSCLC cells in vitro to broaden the options for NSCLC treatment. METHODS: This study detected the expression of circ_0087378 in NSCLC cells via real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) protein in NSCLC cells was investigated through western blot. The influence of circ_0087378 on the malignant behavior of NSCLC cells in vitro was investigated by cell counting kit-8 assay, colony formation assay, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA pull-down assay were performed to verify the binding between two genes. RESULTS: Circ_0087378 was abundantly expressed in NSCLC cells. The loss of circ_0087378 repressed the proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion, but enhanced the apoptosis in NSCLC cells in vitro. Circ_0087378 could repress microRNA-199a-5p (miR-199a-5p) by acting as a sponge. The loss of miR-199a-5p abrogated the inhibition of circ_0087378 loss on the malignant phenotype of NSCLC cells in vitro. DDR1 was directly repressed via miR-199a-5p. DDR1 counteracted the repressive role of miR-199a-5p on the malignant behavior of NSCLC cells in vitro. CONCLUSIONS: Circ_0087378 promotes the malignant behavior of NSCLC cells in vitro by facilitating DDR1 via sponging miR-199a-5p. It may be a promising target for treatment. |
