ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Gastric cancer (GC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system. Increasing reports have demonstrated the crucial roles of circRNAs in tumorigenesis and progression of GC.METHODS:
The relative expression of circ-ABCB10 in GC tissues and cell lines was detected by qRT-PCR. A series of in vitro assays and a xenograft model in vivo were applied to explore the function of circ-ABCB10 in GC cells.RESULTS:
Circ-ABCB10 expression was upregulated in GC tissues and cell lines and positively correlated with poor survival of GC patients. Circ-ABCB10 downregulation decreased cell viability, inhibited cell growth, invasion, and migration, while promoted cell apoptosis of GC cell lines SGC-7901 and MKN-48. Circ-ABCB10 could upregulate Rac1 expression by directly sponging miR-1915-3p. Rescue experiments revealed that miR-1915-3p inhibitor obviously reversed the inhibitory effect of si-circ-ABCB10, and Rac1 overexpression obviously reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-1915-3p mimics on cell growth, invasion, migration, apoptosis, and cell cycle progression. Moreover, si-circ-ABCB10 effectively inhibited tumor growth in a xenograft model.CONCLUSIONS:
Our study revealed that circ-ABCB10 promoted GC progression via targeting the miR-1915-3p/Rac1 axis, and circ-ABCB10 might be a potential target for GC diagnosis and treatment.Palavras-chave
