Popis: | Increasing evidence indicated that dysregulated circular RNAs were implicated in the progression of multiple malignancies. However, the function of circ_0000592 in gastric cancer (GC) progression and its associated mechanism remain poorly understood. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot assay were performed to detect RNA and protein expression. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were analyzed by 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine staining assay, Transwell migration assay and Transwell invasion assay, respectively. The glucose/lactate assay kit was used to assess the rates of glucose consumption and lactate production. The interaction between microRNA-1179 (miR-1179) and circ_0000592 or Annexin A4 (ANXA4) was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull-down assay. Xenograft tumor model was established to investigate the effect of circ_0000592 on tumor growth in vivo. Circ_0000592 expression was elevated in GC tissues and cells. Circ_0000592 knockdown hampered cell proliferation, migration, invasion and glycolysis of GC cells. MiR-1179 was a direct target of circ_0000592, and circ_0000592 silencing-mediated effects in GC cells were partly reversed by the knockdown of miR-1179. MiR-1179 interacted with the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of ANXA4. Circ_0000592 silencing reduced ANXA4 expression partly by upregulating miR-1179 in GC cells. ANXA4 overexpression partly overturned circ_0000592 knockdown-induced effects in GC cells. Circ_0000592 depletion markedly suppressed xenograft tumor growth in vivo. Circ_0000592 contributed to GC progression through regulating miR-1179/ANXA4 axis, which provided novel potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GC treatment. |
