Circular RNA SMARCA5 inhibits gastric cancer progression through targeting the miR-346/ FBXL2 axis
Circular RNA (circRNA) SMARCA5 (circSMARCA5) is a cancer-related circRNA that has been observed to be involved in the progression of several types of cancer. However, the role of circSMARCA5 in gastric cancer has not been reported. In the present study, we aimed to explore the function and mechanism...

Zusammenfassung: | Circular RNA (circRNA) SMARCA5 (circSMARCA5) is a cancer-related circRNA that has been observed to be involved in the progression of several types of cancer. However, the role of circSMARCA5 in gastric cancer has not been reported. In the present study, we aimed to explore the function and mechanism of circSMARCA5 in gastric cancer. Our results showed that circSMARCA5 expression was significantly decreased in human gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. Further
in vitro
investigations demonstrated that overexpression of circSMARCA5 in SGC7901 cells inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Luciferase reporter assays proved that circSMARCA5 acted as a sponge for miroRNA-346 (miR-346) and regulated the expression of F-Box and leucine rich repeat protein 2 (FBXL2). Furthermore, transfection of miR-346 mimics into cells overexpressing circSMARCA5 blocked the function of circSMARCA5. Finally, we found that knockdown FBXL2 significantly reversed the effects of miR-346 inhibitor on gastric cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Collectively, circSMARCA5 exhibited a tumor suppressor-like activity in gastric cancer
via
regulating the miR-346/FBXL2 axis.
