ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
CircRNAs regulate gene expression in different malignancies. However, the role of Cdr1as in the tumourigenesis of bladder cancer and its potential mechanisms remain unknown.METHODS:
qRT-PCR was used to detect Cdr1as and target miRNA expression in bladder cancer tissues and cell lines. Biological functional experiments were performed to detect the effects of Cdr1as on the biological behaviour of bladder cancer cells in vivo and in vitro. Bioinformatic analysis was utilised to predict potential miRNA target sites on Cdr1as. Ago2 RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation assay, RNA antisense purification assay, biotin pull down assay and RNA FISH were performed to detect the interaction between Cdr1as and target miRNAs. Western blot was used to determine the expression level of p21 in bladder cancer cells.RESULTS:
Cdr1as was significantly down-regulated in bladder cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. Overexpression of Cdr1as inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of bladder cancer cells in vitro and slowed down tumour growth in vivo. Cdr1as sponged multiple miRNAs in bladder cancer. Moreover, Cdr1as directly bound to miR-135a and inhibited its activity in bladder cancer.CONCLUSION:
Cdr1as is down-regulated and sponges multiple miRNAs in bladder cancer. It exerts anti-oncogenic functions by sponging microRNA-135a.Palavras-chave
