Abstract
Recently, numerous studies have revealed the participation of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in cancer progression. Likewise, this research focused on circRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A lowly expressed circRNA hsa_circ_0072309 in HCC was screened by analyzing the circRNA microarray GSE242797 and GSE216115 and identified in clinical specimens and cells. Subsequently, CCK-8, colony formation, and transwell assays were performed. The results revealed that hsa_circ_0072309 overexpression suppressed HCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and sorafenib resistance, whereas its suppression showed opposite results. Mechanistic investigation found an interaction between hsa_circ_0072309 and its host gene leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) in HCC. We found that LIFR overexpression promoted the hsa_circ_0072309 formation. In turn, hsa_circ_0072309 recruited the E1A binding protein p300 to promote the enrichment of H3K27 acetylation (H3K27ac) in the LIFR enhancer, thus transcriptionally promoting LIFR expression. To conclude, we revealed a hsa_circ_0072309/LIFR regulatory loop in HCC, which may provide a potential target for HCC treatment.
期刊介绍:
Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics (CBB) aims to publish papers on the nature of the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms underlying the structure, control and function of cellular systems
The reports should be within the framework of modern biochemistry and chemistry, biophysics and cell physiology, physics and engineering, molecular and structural biology. The relationship between molecular structure and function under investigation is emphasized.
Examples of subject areas that CBB publishes are:
· biochemical and biophysical aspects of cell structure and function;
· interactions of cells and their molecular/macromolecular constituents;
· innovative developments in genetic and biomolecular engineering;
· computer-based analysis of tissues, cells, cell networks, organelles, and molecular/macromolecular assemblies;
· photometric, spectroscopic, microscopic, mechanical, and electrical methodologies/techniques in analytical cytology, cytometry and innovative instrument design
For articles that focus on computational aspects, authors should be clear about which docking and molecular dynamics algorithms or software packages are being used as well as details on the system parameterization, simulations conditions etc. In addition, docking calculations (virtual screening, QSAR, etc.) should be validated either by experimental studies or one or more reliable theoretical cross-validation methods.
