Abstract Background Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common type of bone malignancy that often occurs in children and adolescents. Chemoresistance is a huge barrier to cancer therapy. This study aimed to investigate the role and potential mechanism of circ_0001721 in doxorubicin (DXR) resistance and OS development. Methods The levels of circ_0001721, miR-758 and transcription factor 4 (TCF4) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or western blot assay. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to calculate the half inhibition concentration (IC50) of DXR and assess cell viability. Cell migration and invasion were evaluated by transwell assay. Cell apoptosis was monitored by flow cytometry. The levels of multidrug resistance-related and Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related proteins were measured by western blot assay. The interaction among circ_0001721, miR-758 and TCF4 were confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation assay or RNA pull-down assay. The xenograft model was established to analyze tumor growth in vivo. Results Circ_0001721 and TCF4 were upregulated, whereas miR-758 was down-regulated in DXR-resistant OS tissues and cells. Circ_0001721 silence reduced DXR resistance of KHOS/DXR and MG63/DXR cells. Circ_0001721 regulated DXR resistance via sponging miR-758. Moreover, miR-758 modulated DXR resistance by targeting TCF4. Besides, circ_0001721 knockdown inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Conclusion Circ_0001721 potentiated DXR resistance and facilitated the progression of OS by regulating miR-758/TCF4 axis, which provides promising therapeutic targets for OS treatment. |
