Description
Abstract
Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are
a specific family of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with
important function in disease progression. This research
is performed to study circRNA Ring Finger Protein 220
(circRNF220) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Methods: CircRNF220, microRNA-330-5p (miR330-5p) and sex-determining region Y-related highmobility group box 4 (SOX4) were measured via
quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRTPCR). 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-y1)-2, 5- diphenyl
tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and EdU assays were used
to assess cell proliferation. Cell cycle and apoptosis were
detected using flow cytometry. Cell invasion was
determined by transwell assay. Glycolytic metabolism
was assessed by glucose consumption and lactate
production. The target interaction was implemented via
dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays.
SOX4 protein detection was conducted by western blot.
Results: Expression detection identified that
circRNF220 was overexpressed in AML. In vitro
experiments showed that silence of circRNF220
promoted cell apoptosis but impeded proliferation, cell
cycle progression, invasion and glycolytic metabolism in
AML cells. Target analysis indicated that circRNF220
directly targeted miR-330-5p, and the effects of sicircRNF220 were abrogated by miR-330-5p inhibitor.
Moreover, circRNF220 targeted miR-330-5p to increase
the expression of SOX4 and SOX4 promoted cell
progression of AML.
Conclusion: All these findings revealed that
circRNF220 contributed to AML cell development in
vitro via upregulating SOX4 expression by targeting
miR-330-5p.
