Abstract
BACKGROUND
Prostate cancer (PCa) is among the three main types of cancer. Although prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is routinely tested, it has disadvantages, such as poor prognostic ability. Therefore, finding more PCa markers and therapeutic targets remains a subject of study. CircRNAs have been found to have regulatory roles in various diseases, such as diabetes, Central Nervous System (CNS) neuropathy, etc. where their application in cancer is even more valuable. Therefore, this paper aims to search for differentially expressed circRNAs in PCa and find downstream targeting pathways related to autophagy.
METHOD
By detecting the expression of circRNA in the samples, hsa_circ_0119816 was finally identified as the research target. The properties of circRNA were verified by RNase R, actinomycin D, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The downstream target miRNAs and target proteins were predicted by an online database, and the targeting relationship was verified using dual luciferase and RNA Immunoprecipitation. The effects of circRNAs and their downstream signalling pathways on prostate cancer cell proliferation, migration, EMT and autophagy were examined by CCK-8, Transwell, immunofluorescence and Western blotting.
RESULTS
CircBIRC6 is highly expressed in prostate cancer samples. Knockdown of its expression inhibits cell proliferation, invasion, EMT and autophagy and promotes apoptosis. CircBIRC6/miRNA-574-5p/DNAJB1 is a molecular axis that regulates prostate cancer cells.
期刊介绍:
Cancer, the second leading cause of death, is a heterogenous group of over 100 diseases. Cancer is characterized by disordered and deregulated cellular and stromal proliferation accompanied by reduced cell death with the ability to survive under stresses of nutrient and growth factor deprivation, hypoxia, and loss of cell-to-cell contacts. At the molecular level, cancer is a genetic disease that develops due to the accumulation of mutations over time in somatic cells. The phenotype includes genomic instability and chromosomal aneuploidy that allows for acceleration of genetic change. Malignant transformation and tumor progression of any cell requires immortalization, loss of checkpoint control, deregulation of growth, and survival. A tremendous amount has been learned about the numerous cellular and molecular genetic changes and the host-tumor interactions that accompany tumor development and progression. It is the goal of the field of Molecular Oncology to use this knowledge to understand cancer pathogenesis and drug action, as well as to develop more effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for cancer. This includes preventative strategies as well as approaches to treat metastases. With the availability of the human genome sequence and genomic and proteomic approaches, a wealth of tools and resources are generating even more information. The challenge will be to make biological sense out of the information, to develop appropriate models and hypotheses and to translate information for the clinicians and the benefit of their patients. Cancer Biology & Therapy aims to publish original research on the molecular basis of cancer, including articles with translational relevance to diagnosis or therapy. We will include timely reviews covering the broad scope of the journal. The journal will also publish op-ed pieces and meeting reports of interest. The goal is to foster communication and rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results using traditional as well as electronic formats. The journal and the outstanding Editorial Board will strive to maintain the highest standards for excellence in all activities to generate a valuable resource.
