Description
Abstract
Background. Sevoflurane is a widely used
anesthetic agent and is reported to play an anti-tumor
action in many cancers. However, the underlying
mechanisms are largely unclear.
Methods. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells
were treated with sevoflurane for 12 or 24 h. HCC cell
proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were
assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, 5-ethynyl-2’-
deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, transwell assay, and flow
cytometry assay, respectively. The protein levels were
determined by western blot. The expression of circular
RNA (circ)_0001649, microRNA (miR)-19a-3p, and
small glutamine rich tetratricopeptide repeat containing
Beta (SGTB) were detected by quantitative real-time
polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relationship
between miR-19a-3p and circ_0001649 or SGTB was
predicted by Starbase and confirmed by dual-luciferase
reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays.
Results. Sevoflurane inhibited HCC cell
proliferation, migration, and invasion, but promoted
apoptosis. Sevoflurane could affect the expression of
circ_0001649 and knockdown of circ_0001649 reversed
the effects of sevoflurane on HCC cell progression.
Subsequently, miR-19a-3p was identified as a target of
circ_0001649 and directly targeted SGTB. In addition,
circ_0001649 suppressed the development of
sevoflurane-induced HCC cells through miR-19a3p/SGTB axis.
Conclusion. Our study demonstrated that
sevoflurane inhibited HCC cell development via
circ_0001649/miR-19a-3p/SGTB axis
