Description
Abstract
Background. Acute myeloid leukemia
(AML) is a highly heterogeneous hematological
malignancy. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play crucial
roles in AML progression. This study aimed to explore
the function and potential mechanism of circRNA Scm
like with four mbt domains 2 (circ-SFMBT2;
hsa_circ_0017639) in AML.
Methods. The levels of circ-SFMBT2, microRNA582-3p (miR-582-3p) and zinc finger and BTB domain
containing 20 (ZBTB20) were measured by quantitative
real-time PCR and Western blot. Cell Counting Kit-8
(CCK-8), colony formation, flow cytometry and
transwell assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation,
apoptosis, migration and invasion. Glycolysis was
assessed by detecting glucose consumption, lactate
production and ATP/ADP ratios. The related protein
expression was examined by Western blot. The binding
relationship between miR-582-3p and circSFMBT2/ZBTB20 was verified by dual-luciferase
reporter assay.
Results. Circ-SFMBT2 and ZBTB20 levels were
elevated, while miR-582-3p level was reduced in AML
patients and cells. Depletion of circ-SFMBT2/ZBTB20
impeded proliferation, migration, invasion and
glycolysis and induced apoptosis in AML cells.
Moreover, circ-SFMBT2 facilitated AML progression by
sponging miR-582-3p, and miR-582-3p targeted
ZBTB20 to hinder AML development.
Conclusion. Knockdown of circ-SFMBT2
suppressed AML progression by regulating the miR582-3p/ZBTB20 axis, which might provide a potential
therapeutic strategy for AML.
