ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are related to the pathogenesis and progression of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The aim of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of hsa_circ_0001925 in TNBC progression.METHODS:
Hsa_circ_0001925, microRNA (miR)-1299 and Yin Yang 1 (YY1) levels were examined in TNBC via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, flow cytometry, wound healing assay and tube formation assay were conducted to estimate the effects of hsa_circ_0001925 on malignant phenotypes of TNBC tumors. Several protein levels were measured with western blot. The regulatory relationship between miR-1299 and hsa_circ_0001925 or YY1 was validated using a dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Xenograft assay was used to estimate the effect of hsa_circ_0001925 in TNBC in vivo.RESULTS:
Hsa_circ_0001925 and YY1 levels were upregulated, while miR-1299 abundance was downregulated in TNBC tissues and cells. Hsa_circ_0001925 silencing constrained cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis whereas it promoted apoptosis in vitro, and hsa_circ_0001925 silencing significantly curbed xenograft tumor growth in vivo. Hsa_circ_0001925 acted as a miRNA sponge for miR-1299. Hsa_circ_0001925 decreased YY1 expression by sponging miR-1299. MiR-1299 downregulation alleviated the effects of hsa_circ_0001925 knockdown on BC progression. MiR-1299 interacted with the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of YY1, and YY1 overexpression partly reversed the effects of miR-1299 overexpression on BC progression.CONCLUSION:
Our findings showed that hsa_circ_0001925 mediated TNBC progression via regulating miR-1299/YY1 axis, providing a potential target for BC treatment.Palabras clave
