Abstract |
Background |
Increasing studies have revealed that circular RNAs (circRNAs) contribute to gastric cancer (GC) progression. The circular RNA ribosomal protein L15 (circ-RPL15) is involved in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. However, its expression and functions in GC remain elusive.
Methods |
The expression of circ-RPL15 in human GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues, human gastric cancer cell lines (MGC-803, BGC-823, MGN-28, SGC-7901, AGS) and normal gastric mucosal epithelial cell line (GES-1) were detected by RT-PCR. The relationship between circ-RPL15 level and clinical-pathological indicators were also analyzed. Gain- of function experiments of circ-RPL15 and miR-502-3p were conducted to verify their roles in mediating GC cell proliferation, apoptosis and metastasis. Also, the downstream mechanisms of circ-RPL15 were predicted by bioinformatics analysis, and the interactions between circ-RPL15 and miR-502-3p, miR-502-3p and OLFM4 were verified by dual luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA FISH.
Results |
circ-RPL15 was upregulated in GC tissues and cell lines, and the overexpressed circ-RPL15 was correlated with poorer survival of GC patients. Functionally, circ-RPL15 upregulation distinctly promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of GC cells and inhibited apoptosis. Mechanistically, circ-RPL15 functioned as a competitive endogenous RNA via sponging miR-502-3p and activated OLFM4/STAT3 pathway.
Conclusion |
circ-RPL15 promotes GC progression and predicts poor prognosis of GC patients, and regulates the malignant phenotypes of GC cells by mediating the miR-502-3p/OLFM4/STAT3 axis.
