Abstract Background Circular RNA (circRNAs) have been found to play major roles in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the functions of circ_0008345 (transcribed by PTK2) in regulating CRC development remain undefined. In this study, we aimed to explore the roles and underlying mechanisms of circ_0008345 in CRC. Methods RNase R-treated total cellular RNA was used to verify the circular structure of circ_0008345, and a subcellular fractionation assay was performed to detect the subcellular localization of circ_0008345. RNA pull-down and dual-luciferase assays were used to verify the binding relation between microRNA (miR)-182-5p and circ_0008345 and/or CYP1A2. Colony formation assay, EdU, and Transwell assays were performed to detect the biological behavior of CRC cells in vitro, and CRC cells were injected into mice to observe the tumor formation. m6A immunoprecipitation was used to detect the m6A modification of circ_0008345 in CRC cells. Results Circ_0008345, upregulated in CRC tissues and cells, was mainly present in the cytoplasm. Circ_0008345 bound to miR-182-5p, and miR-182-5p targeted CYP1A2, an oncogene in CRC. The colony formation, mobility, EdU-positive cell rate in vitro, and tumor growth in mice were inhibited after the knockdown of circ_0008345. However, the suppressing effects of sh-circ_0008345 on CRC and CYP1A2 expression were significantly reversed after further knockdown of miR-182-5p. METTL3 was the m6A modifier mediating circ_0008345 expression, and the suppression of METTL3 reduced the expression of circ_0008345. Conclusions METTL3-dependent m6A methylation upregulated circ_0008345, which blocked the inhibitory effect of miR-182-5p on CYP1A2, thereby exacerbating the malignant phenotype of CRC cells. |
