ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Lung cancer is the most prevalent cancer worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for 85% of all cases. Circular RNAs(circRNA) play crucial roles in regulating the progression of lung cancer. Despite the identification of a large number of circRNAs, their expression patterns, functions, and mechanisms of action in NSCLC development remain unclear.This study aims to investigate the transcriptional expressions, functions, and potential mechanisms of circRNA hsa_circ_0050386 in NSCLC.METHODS:
Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was utilized for the analysis of hsa_circ_0050386 expression. Cell proliferation was detected using the IncuCyte Live Cell Analysis System and clone formation assays. Migration and invasion of NSCLC cells were evaluated through Transwell assays. Flow cytometry was performed to assay cell cycle and apoptosis. Western blot was used to investigate protein expression. Protein binding analysis was conducted by employing pull-down assays, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and mass spectrometry. The role of hsa_circ_0050386 in vivo was evaluated through the use of a xenograft model.RESULTS:
The study discovered that hsa_circ_0050386 displayed lower expression levels in NSCLC tissues when compared to adjacent normal tissues. Patients exhibiting lower levels of hsa_circ_0050386 expression exhibited an inverse correlation with the Clinical Stage, T-stage, and M-stage of NSCLC. Functionally, hsa_circ_0050386 suppressed the proliferation and invasion of NSCLC cells both in vitro and in vivo. A comprehensive examination exposed the interaction between hsa_circ_0050386 and RNA binding protein Serine and arginine-rich splicing factor 3 (SRSF3), resulting in the down-regulation of Fibronectin 1 (FN1) expression, which inhibits the progression of NSCLC.CONCLUSIONS:
Our study shows that hsa_circ_0050386 suppresses the malignant biological behavior of NSCLC cells by down-regulating the expression of FN1, and may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for NSCLC treatment.Palavras-chave
