Circular RNA circCHSY1 silencing inhibits the malignant progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Discover. Oncology. 2024 March 22
BACKGROUND: CircRNAs play a crucial role in the regulation of various cancers. This study aims to investigate the involvement of circCHSY1 in the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
METHODS: RNA levels were quantified using qRT-PCR, and protein levels were measured by western blot. The stability of circCHSY1 was analyzed using RNase R. The functional effect of circCHSY1 on cell behavior was evaluated by CCK-8, EdU, flow cytometry, transwell, tube formation, and xenograft tumor model assays. The associations among circCHSY1, miR-1229-3p, and Tectonic-1 (TCTN1) were certified by bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and RNA pull-down assay.
RESULTS: CircCHSY1 was up-regulated in both ESCC tissues and cell lines in comparison with the control groups. Knockdown of circCHSY1 inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and tube formation and promoted apoptosis of ESCC cells. Mechanistically, circCHSY1 targeted miR-1229-3p, which was downregulated in ESCC tissues and cells. Inhibition of miR-1229-3p attenuated the effects mediated by circCHSY1 suppression. Besides, miR-1229-3p bound to TCTN1, and TCTN1 overexpression restored miR-1229-3p-induced effects in ESCC cells. Animal experiments revealed that circCHSY1 silencing suppressed tumor tumorigenesis in vivo.
CONCLUSION: CircCHSY1 contributed to ESCC cell malignancy, and the underlying mechanism involved the circCHSY1/miR-1229-3p/TCTN1 axis, providing potential therapeutic targets for ESCC.
