Description
Abstract
Purpose. This study was aimed at exploring
the function and underlying mechanism of circ_SATB2
in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods. The levels of circ_SATB2, microRNA-760
(miR-760) and Kinesin family member 2a (KIF2A) were
determined using quantitative real-time polymerase
chain reaction or western blot assay. The proliferation
was detected using MTT and colony formation assays.
Cell cycle and apoptosis were evaluated by flow
cytometry. Transwell assay for migration and invasion
and western blot for metastasis-associated proteins were
conducted. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to
analyze the interaction between miR-760 and
circ_SATB2 or KIF2A. The effect of circ_SATB2 on
NSCLC tumor growth in vivo was studied by xenograft
mice model.
Results. Circ_SATB2 was upregulated in NSCLC
tissues and cells. Circ_SATB2 knockdown caused
inhibitory effects on NSCLC cell proliferation and
metastasis but accelerated apoptosis. Circ_SATB2
served as a sponge of miR-760 to act in the development
of NSCLC. Moreover, miR-760 could target KIF2A, and
KIF2A expression was positively regulated by
circ_SATB2. Furthermore, KIF2A overexpression
neutralized miR-760-mediated inhibition effects on
NSCLC cell progression. Besides, circ_SATB2
enhanced NSCLC tumorigenesis by targeting miR760/KIF2A axis in vivo.
Conclusion. Circ_SATB2 was highly expressed and
participated in the progression of NSCLC through the
modulation of the miR-760/KIF2A axis, suggesting that
circ_SATB2 might be a potential biomarker for the
diagnosis of NSCLC.
