Popis: To investigate the molecular mechanism of hsa_circ_0005221 regulating the progression of PCa through the miR-339-5p/STAT5a pathway.Localizations of hsa_circ_0005221 and miR-339-5p in cells were detected by nuclear-cytoplasmic isolation. MiRNA-339-5p was selected as the target miRNA bound to hsa_circ_0005221 by RNA pull-down assay. The binding site of the luciferase reporter gene was predicted by software and the binding capability of miR-339-5p validated by luciferase assay. The expression of hsa_circ_0005221 in the prostatic epithelial and PCa cells was determined by qPCR. The hsa_circ_0005221-overexpressed plasmid and siRNA were transfected into the PCa cells for measurement of their proliferation, invasion and migration abilities and the levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) and apoptosis. After knockdown of hsa_circ_0005221 and transfection of miR-339-5p mimics and miR-339-5p inhibitor, the proliferation, invasion and migration abilities of the DU145 and LNCaP cells were detected, and so were the levels of the EMT signature protein, STAT5a and cell apoptosis.The expression of hsa_circ_0005221 was significantly higher in the PCa than in the prostatic epithelial cells. Nuclear-cytoplasmic isolation experiments showed that hsa_circ_0005221 and miR-339-5p were mainly located in the cytoplasm. The proliferation, invasion and migration abilities and EMT were decreased and the apoptosis increased in the DU145 and LNCaP cells with knockdown of hsa_circ_0005221, which was just the reverse in those with overexpressed hsa_circ_0005221. Among the top 5 miRNAs predicted by software, miR-339-5p, miR-17 and miR-520h were shown by pull-down assay to be bound to hsa_circ_0005221, with most obvious changes in miR-339-5p when hsa_circ_0005221 knocked down or overexpressed. Luciferase reporter gene assay showed the binding of hsa_circ_0005221 to miR-339-5p. Knockdown of hsa_circ_0005221 and transfection of miR-339-5p mimics into the DU145 and LNCaP cells significantly reduced the proliferation, invasion and migration abilities of the cells and the N-cad level, increased their apoptosis and E-cad level, and up-regulated the expression of STAT5a, while overexpression of hsa_circ_0005221 and transfection of miR-339-5p mimics induced just the opposite effects.Hsa_circ_0005221 enhances the progression of prostate cancer through the miR-339-5p/STAT5a pathway.
