ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Cisplatin-based chemotherapy effectively improves the distant-metastasis control in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but approximately 30% of patients develop treatment failure due to chemoresistance. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. EXPERIMENTALDESIGN:
Circular RNA (circRNA) sequencing data were used to identify metastasis-specific circRNAs and the expression of circIPO7 was validated in NPC tissues as well as NPC cell lines by qRT-PCR. The whole transcriptional profile upon circIPO7 knockdown was applied to explore the biological function and regulatory mechanism, which were further confirmed by in vitro and in vivo metastasis/chemosensitivity assays. We also evaluated the value of circIPO7 expression in predicting NPC metastasis and cisplatin chemoresistance by analyzing a cohort of 183 NPC patients.RESULTS:
In this study, circIPO7, a novel circRNA, is found to be specifically overexpressed in NPC patients with distant metastasis. Knockdown of circIPO7 in NPC cells suppresses their metastasis and increases sensitivity to cisplatin treatment in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, circIPO7 binds to Y-box binding protein-1 (YBX1) protein in the cytoplasm and facilitates its phosphorylation at serine 102 (p-YBX1S102) by the kinase AKT, which further promotes YBX1 nuclear translocation and activates FGFR1, TNC, and NTRK1 transcription. Clinically, higher circIPO7 expression indicates unfavorable distant metastasis-free survival in NPC patients given cisplatin-based chemotherapy.CONCLUSIONS:
Altogether, this study identifies oncogenic circIPO7 as a prognostic marker after cisplatin-based chemotherapy and as a potential therapeutic target for overcoming metastasis and chemoresistance in NPC.
