Aberrant expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs) is involved in cancer progression through interaction with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Herein, we screened circRNA expression of A549 cells in circBase and the crosslinking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) data of human antigen R (HuR), an extensively studied RBP, and identified a circRNA, circ-defective in cullin neddylation 1 domain containing 4 (circDCUN1D4), originating from the DCUN1D4 gene transcript. circDCUN1D4 is downregulated in tumor samples under the mediation of DExH-box helicase 9 (DHX9), which inhibits the formation of circRNA by binding inverted repeat Alus (IRAlus) in flanking sequences. circDCUN1D4 depletion promoted invasion in vitro and metastasis in vivo. Importantly, the interaction between circDCUN1D4 and HuR increased the transportation of HuR to the cytoplasm. circDCUN1D4 acts as a scaffold to facilitate the interaction between the HuR protein and thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) mRNA, which enhances the stability of the TXNIP mRNA. Additionally, circDCUN1D4 directly interacts with TXNIP mRNA through base complementation, indicating the formation of the circDCUN1D4/HuR/TXNIP RNA-protein ternary complex. Furthermore, circDCUN1D4 suppressed metastasis and glycolysis of lung cancer cells in a TXNIP-dependent manner. Clinically, the downregulated expression of circDCUN1D4 was more prevalent in lymph node metastatic tissues and served as an independent risk factor for the overall survival of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients. These findings demonstrated that a novel circRNA, circDCUN1D4, is involved in the metastasis and glycolysis of LUAD. |
