Circ_0101692 knockdown retards the development of clear cell renal cell carcinoma through miR-384/FN1 pathway
PURPOSE: Circular RNA_0101692 (circ_0101692) is overexpressed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) by microarray analyses. However, its function and action mechanism in ccRCC tumorigenesis is still elusive. METHODS: Western blotting and qRT-PCR were executed to assess the circ_0101692, miR-384...

Sumario: | PURPOSE: Circular RNA_0101692 (circ_0101692) is overexpressed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) by microarray analyses. However, its function and action mechanism in ccRCC tumorigenesis is still elusive. METHODS: Western blotting and qRT-PCR were executed to assess the circ_0101692, miR-384 and FN1 expression in ccRCC cells and tissues. Target relationships among them were determined via dual luciferase reporter and/or RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Cell proliferation was evaluated by CCK-8 assay. Caspase-3 activity assay was utilized to analyze cell apoptosis. To find out whether ccRCC cells might migrate, a transwell assay was performed. To assess the effects of circ_0101692 on tumor development in vivo, a mouse xenograft model was used. RESULTS: High expression of circ_0101692 and FN1, and decreased miR-384 were determined in ccRCC. Cell growth, migration and viability were decreased whereas cell apoptosis was stimulated when circ_0101692 was knockdown. miR-384 inhibitor transfection attenuated the inhibiting impacts of circ_0101692 silencing on ccRCC cell progression. FN1 deletion further inverted the cancer-promoting effect of miR-384 downregulation on cell viability and migration. In addition, circ_0101692 could sponge miR-384 to relieve the inhibition of miR-384 on FN1 in ccRCC. CONCLUSIONS: Circ_0101692 targeted miR-384/FN1 axis to facilitate cell proliferation, migration and repress apoptosis, thereby accelerating the development of ccRCC. This points out that circ_0101692/miR-384/FN1 axis might be a prospective target implemented for the future treatment of ccRCC. |
