RESUMO
Circular RNA (circRNA) plays a very important regulatory role in a variety of human malignancies such as non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the current study, we explored the role of hsa_circ_0092856 in the progression of NSCLC. We screened CircRNA from the eIF3a gene in the Circbase database. The biological functions of hsa_circ_0092856 in NSCLC were analyzed via qRT-PCR, a CCK-8 assay, a plate cloning experiment, scratch testing, a transwell chamber experiment, an RNA nuclear mass separation experiment, an RIP experiment, and a Western blot test. The results showed that hsa_circ_0092856 was highly expressed in NSCLC cells, and the knockdown of hsa_circ_0092856 could inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells. The overexpression of hsa_circ_0092856 has the opposite effect. The expression of eIF3a also changed with the change in hsa_circ_0092856. These results suggest that hsa_circ_0092856 may play a key role in the progression of NSCLC by regulating the expression of eIF3a.
