Abstract
Background. Circ_0079530 has been confirmed to be a novel potential oncogene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aims to explore the role and mechanism of circ_0079530 in NSCLC progression. Methods. Levels of circ_0079530, microRNA (miR)-584-5p, thrombospondin-2 (THBS2), PCNA, Bax, E-cadherin, and ki67 were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The proliferation of NSCLC cells was measured using cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) assay, colony formation assay, and EdU staining. Cell apoptosis and motility were respectively detected by flow cytometry and transwell assays. Interaction between miR-584-5p and circ_0079530 or THBS2 was predicted by bioinformatics analysis and confirmed via luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. A xenograft tumor model was used to analyze the role of circ_0079530 in tumor growth in vivo. Results. Circ_0079530 was highly expressed in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Circ_0079530 overexpression facilitated proliferation, migration, and invasion whereas it restrained the apoptosis of NSCLC cells. Circ_0079530 silence showed the opposite effects on the above malignant biological behaviors. Mechanistic analysis showed that circ_0079530 functioned as a sponge of miR-584-5p to relieve the suppressive action of miR-584-5p on its target THBS2. Additionally, circ_0079530 knockdown impeded the growth of xenografts in vivo. Conclusion. Circ_0079530 promoted NSCLC progression by regulating the miR-584-5p/THBS2 axis, providing a possible circRNA-targeted therapy for NSCLC.
