ABSTRACT
Background:
Circular RNAs (circ-RNAs) have been demonstrated to influence initiation, drug resistance, and metastasis of tumors. However, the effects of circular-phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (circ-PGAM1) on matrine resistance in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unknown. Materials andMethods:
The reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to determine gene expression. The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and cell colony formation assays were used to evaluate NSCLC apoptosis and cell proliferation after indicated treatments, respectively.Results:
circ-PGAM1 was upregulated in human NSCLC cell lines (H1299 and A549) compared with the human normal lung epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells. circ-PGAM1 overexpression reversed the matrine treatment-induced inhibition on proliferation of NSCLC cells (A549 and H1299) and rescued the matrine treatment-stimulated apoptosis of these cells. miR-326 was demonstrated to interact with circ-PGAM1. circ-PGAM1 knockdown enhanced the antitumor effect of matrine on NSCLC cell proliferation and apoptosis, which was reversed by miR-326 inhibition. The authors also identified CXCR5 as a key downstream target of miR-326 in A549 cells.Conclusions:
circ-PGAM1 enhances matrine resistance of NSCLC cells through the miR-326/CXCR5 axis. The authors' findings provide new insights into NSCLC-targeted therapy.
