Abstract
Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common and fatal cancer in China. circRNAs are different expressed between tumor and non-tumor tissues, and they are proved to be correlated with tumorigenesis and cancer progression.
Objective: We aimed to explore the biological and molecular function of hsa_circ_0005939 in CRC.
Methods: We collected and compared ten CRC tissues and four noncancerous tissues and performed circRNA sequencing. We investigated the hsa_circ_0005939 expression in fresh tissues from CRC and adjacent tissues by qPCR. Meanwhile, functional roles of hsa_circ_0005939 in CRC cells were explored by CCK-8, colony formation, wounding healing, cell apoptosis and western blot assays. RNA-FISH was used to confirm the cellular distribution of hsa_circ_0005939. Bioinformatic prediction and luciferase reporter assay were used to determine the mechanisms of hsa_circ_0005939.
Results: Our results indicated that hsa_circ_0005939 was up-regulated in CRC tissues and cells. Up-regulation of hsa_circ_0005939 was associated with the occurrence and the number of lymph node metastasis of CRC. Hsa_circ_0005939 down-regulation inhibited cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis and caused G2 phase arrest of CRC cells. Mechanistically, luciferase assay revealed that hsa_circ_0005939 acts as a molecular sponge for miR-4693-3p and then enhanced Ubiquitin Like With PHD And Ring Finger Domains 1 binding protein 1 like (UHRF1BP1L) expression.
Conclusion: Our findings indicated an oncogenic role of hsa_circ_0005939 in CRC, and it enhanced malignant phenotypes of CRC cells through miR-4693-3p/UHRF1BP1L axis. Our study may offer promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for CRC.
期刊介绍：
Protein & Peptide Letters publishes letters, original research papers, mini-reviews and guest edited issues in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, advances in recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, and drug design. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallization and preliminary structure determination of biologically important proteins are considered only if they include significant new approaches or deal with proteins of immediate importance, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins. Purely theoretical/review papers should provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function. Manuscripts describing computational work should include some experimental data to provide confirmation of the results of calculations.
Protein & Peptide Letters focuses on:
Structure Studies
Advances in Recombinant Expression
Drug Design
Chemical Synthesis
Function
Pharmacology
Enzymology
Conformational Analysis
Immunology
Biotechnology
Protein Engineering
Protein Folding
Sequencing
Molecular Recognition
Purification and Analysis
