hsa_circ_001653 up-regulates NR6A1 expression and elicits gastric cancer progression by binding to microRNA-377.

Abstract：

NEW FINDINGS:What is the central question of this study? Does hsa_circ_001653 influence the development of gastric cancer (GC) and if so how? What is the main finding and its importance? Bioinformatics analysis revealed the presence of differentially expressed hsa_circ_001653 in GC and adjacent normal tissues, and this was strongly related to the pathology of patients with GC. Knockdown of hsa_circ_001653 suppressed the proliferation, invasion and migration of GC cells, while inducing cell apoptosis via miR-377-mediated NR6A1 inhibition. The effect of hsa_circ_001653 and miR-377 on tumour growth in GC was further confirmed in vivo. ABSTRACT:Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of human mortality through malignant tumours. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified as binding to microRNAs (miRNAs) to modulate the progression of tumours. This study explores the role of hsa_circ_001653, a newly identified circRNA, in the development of GC. hsa_circ_001653 expression was measured in 86 paired normal and tumour tissues surgically resected from GC patients. Cross-talk between hsa_circ_001653 and microRNA-377 (miR-377)/nuclear receptor subfamily 6, group A, member 1 (NR6A1) was assessed using bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assay, Ago2 immunoprecipitation and western blot analysis. A series of functional experiments were carried out to elucidate the role of hsa_circ_001653 in GC cell proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis, and its underlying molecular mechanisms. Nude mice were inoculated with GC cells for in vivo analysis. hsa_circ_001653 was found to be an up-regulated circRNA in GC tissues and cells. Down-regulation of hsa_circ_001653 inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, while stimulating cell apoptosis. hsa_circ_001653 was found to bind to miR-377, which targeted NR6A1 and repressed its expression. Inhibition of miR-377 and overexpression of NR6A1 restored the proliferation, migration and invasion in GC cells lacking hsa_circ_001653. Furthermore, inhibition of hsa_circ_001653 attenuated tumour growth in nude mice inoculated with GC cells. Collectively, the demonstration that hsa_circ_001653 exerts its anticancer effects by regulating the miR-377-NR6A1 axis increases our understanding of gastric cancer pathophysiology. The findings uncover new potential therapeutic targets for GC.
