RESUMEN
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) participate in the progression of various cancers. However, the function of circ_0062019 in prostate cancer (PCa) remains unclear. In this study, CCK-8, colony formation, transwell, tube formation and flow cytometry assays were applied to assess cell proliferation, motility, angiogenesis, cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. The binding association between miR-1253 and circ_0062019 or NRBP1 was verified through dual-luciferase reporter assay and RIP assay. Xenograft assay was conducted to evaluate tumour formation in vivo. As a result, circ_0062019 and NRBP1 were increased, but miR-1253 was decreased in PCa. Depletion of circ_0062019 curbed cell proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis and EMT and induced apoptosis in PCa cells. Circ_0062019 facilitated the malignancy of PCa cells via sequestering miR-1253. Simultaneously, miR-1253 hindered PCa cell progression via regulating NRBP1. Ccirc_0062019 silencing suppressed tumour growth in vivo. Taken together, circ_0062019 expedited PCa progression through mediating miR-1253/NRBP1 pathway.

Human adipose tissues are an ideal source of stem cells. It is important to find inducers that can safely and effectively differentiate stem cells into functional neurons for clinical use. In this study, we investigate the use of Radix Angelicae Sinensis as an inducer of neuronal differentiation. Primary human adipose-derived stem cells were obtained from adult subcutaneous fatty tissue, then pre-induced with 10% Radix Angelicae Sinensis injection for 24 hours, and incubated in serum-free Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium/Nutrient Mixture F-12 containing 40% Radix Angelicae Sinensis to induce its differentiation into neuron-like cells. Butylated hydroxyanisole, a common inducer for neuronal differentiation, was used as the control. After human adipose-derived stem cells differentiated into neuron-like cells under the induction of Radix Angelicae Sinensis for 24 hours, the positive expression of neuron-specific enolase was lower than that of the butylated hydroxyanisole-induced group, and the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein was negative. After they were induced for 48 hours, the positive expression of neuron specific enolase in human adipose-derived stem cells was significantly higher than that of the butylated hydroxyanisole-induced group. Our experimental findings indicate that Radix Angelicae Sinensis can induce human adipose-derived stem cell differentiation into neuron-like cells and produce less cytotoxicity.
