Description
Abstract
Background. CircRNAs function as pivotal
molecules to regulate the malignant development of lung
cancer. This study was designed to research the
functional role and how it acted in lung cancer
progression.
Methods. Circ_0000520, microRNA-512-5p (miR512-5p) and Breast cancer-overexpressed gene 1
(KIAA0100) levels were measured through reverse
transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction
assay. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and EdU assay were
used to examine cell proliferation. Cell cycle and
apoptosis were evaluated via flow cytometry. The
protein levels were determined using western blot. Cell
migration and invasion were assessed by wound healing
assay and transwell assay. The circ_0000520 function in
vivo was explored by tumor xenograft assay. The
molecular interaction was analyzed via Dual-luciferase
reporter assay.
Results. Circ_0000520 was obviously upregulated in
lung cancer tissues and cells. Silence of circ_0000520
inhibited proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration,
invasion and angiogenesis but promoted cell apoptosis.
Circ_0000520 downregulation reduced tumor growth of
lung cancer in vivo. Circ_0000520 served as a miR-512-
5p sponge. The oncogenic function of circ_0000520 was
partly achieved by sponging miR-512-5p in lung cancer.
KIAA0100 was a target of miR-512-5p and miR-512-5p
inhibited the malignant behaviors of lung cancer cells
via downregulating KIAA0100. Circ_0000520 targeted
miR-512-5p to regulate the level of KIAA0100.
Conclusion. All these data demonstrated that
circ_0000520 was able to drive the progression of lung
cancer via the mediation of miR-512-5p/KIAA0100
axis. Circ_0000520 might be a potential biomarker for
lung cancer.
