Abstract
Circular RNA (circRNA) has been reported to regulate the development of bladder cancer (BCa). However, the role of circ_0000758 in BCa progression is unknown. Circ_0000758 and miR-1236-3p expression, as well as ZEB2 mRNA expression were determined by qRT-PCR. BCa cell biological functions were determined by MTT assay, EdU assay, flow cytometry, wound healing assay and tube formation assay. Protein expression was detected by western blot analysis. RNA pull-down assay and dual-luciferase reporter assay were used to confirm RNA interaction. Xenograft mice models were constructed to assess the effect of circ_0000758 on BCa tumor growth. Circ_0000758 had increased expression in BCa tissues and cells. Circ_0000758 silencing could inhibit BCa cell growth, migration, angiogenesis in vitro, and tumor growth in vivo. Circ_0000758 served as a molecular sponge for miR-1236-3p, and miR-1236-3p inhibitor reversed circ_0000758 knockdown-mediated the inhibition effect on BCa cell progression. ZEB2 was targeted by miR-1236-3p, and its overexpression also revoked the suppressive effect of miR-1236-3p on BCa cell growth, migration, and angiogenesis. Besides, circ_0000758 knockdown also restrained BCa tumor growth. Circ_0000758 might promote BCa cell growth, migration, and angiogenesis by regulating the miR-1236-3p/ZEB2 axis.
期刊介绍:
Biochemical Genetics welcomes original manuscripts that address and test clear scientific hypotheses, are directed to a broad scientific audience, and clearly contribute to the advancement of the field through the use of sound sampling or experimental design, reliable analytical methodologies and robust statistical analyses.
Although studies focusing on particular regions and target organisms are welcome, it is not the journal’s goal to publish essentially descriptive studies that provide results with narrow applicability, or are based on very small samples or pseudoreplication.
Rather, Biochemical Genetics welcomes review articles that go beyond summarizing previous publications and create added value through the systematic analysis and critique of the current state of knowledge or by conducting meta-analyses.
Methodological articles are also within the scope of Biological Genetics, particularly when new laboratory techniques or computational approaches are fully described and thoroughly compared with the existing benchmark methods.
Biochemical Genetics welcomes articles on the following topics: Genomics; Proteomics; Population genetics; Phylogenetics; Metagenomics; Microbial genetics; Genetics and evolution of wild and cultivated plants; Animal genetics and evolution; Human genetics and evolution; Genetic disorders; Genetic markers of diseases; Gene technology and therapy; Experimental and analytical methods; Statistical and computational methods.
