High circ_0020123 expression is associated with poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as previously reported. Whether circ_0020123 also plays an oncogenic role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is still unknown. Additionally, circ_0020123 is derived from part of exon (1312–3851) from its host gene PDZ domain-containing protein 8 (PDZD8). We hypothesized that circ_0020123 might affect malignant behaviors of LUAD cells by regulating PDZD8. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed that PDZD8 was highly expressed in LUAD tissues and cells. PDZD8 knockdown suppressed LUAD cell proliferation and migration as shown by colony formation assays, Ethynyl deoxyuridine incorporation assays, Transwell assays, and wound healing assays. circ_0020123 was also found to be upregulated in LUAD tissues and cells. Moreover, circ_0020123 positively regulated PDZD8 expression in LUAD cells but exerted no significant effect on the transcriptional level of PDZD8. Mechanistically, circ_0020123 act as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to interact with miR-1283, thereby releasing the repression on PDZD8. Moreover, PDZD8 overexpression rescued the suppressive effect of circ_0020123 knockdown on LUAD cell proliferation and migration. In conclusion, circ_0020123 interacts with miR-1283 as a ceRNA to regulate PDZD8 expression, thus promoting the proliferation and migration of LUAD cells. The study might provide new biomarkers for future LUAD investigation. |
