Long non-coding RNA ASB16-AS1 enhances cell proliferation, migration and invasion via functioning as a ceRNA through miR-1305/Wnt/β-catenin axis in cervical cancer
“…1 j). After researching the literature, miR-1305 was identified as the target miRNA because of its tumor-suppressor effect on multiple cancers [ 53 , 55 , 64 , 65 ]. Fig.…”
Background
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been discovered to participate in the carcinogenesis of multiple cancers. However, the role of circRNAs in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) progression is yet to be properly understood. This research aimed to investigate and understand the mechanism used by circRNAs to regulate ESCC progression.
Methods
Bioinformatics analysis was first performed to screen dysregulated circRNAs and differentially expressed genes in ESCC. The ESCC tissue samples and adjacent normal tissue samples utilized in this study were obtained from 36 ESCC patients. All the samples were subjected to qRT-PCR analysis to identify the expression of TXNRD1, circRNAs, and miR-1305. Luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation assay and RNA pull-down assay were later conducted to verify the existing relationship among circ0120816, miR-1305 and TXNRD1. CCK-8, BrdU, cell adhesion, cell cycle, western blot and caspase 3 activity assays were also employed to evaluate the regulation of these three biological molecules in ESCC carcinogenesis. To evaluate the effect of circ0120816 on ESCC tumor growth and metastasis, the xenograft mice model was constructed.
Results
Experimental investigations revealed that circ0120816 was the highest upregulated circRNA in ESCC tissues and that this non-coding RNA acted as a miR-1305 sponge in enhancing cell viability, cell proliferation, and cell adhesion as well as repressing cell apoptosis in ESCC cell lines. Moreover, miR-1305 was observed to exert a tumor-suppressive effect in ESCC cells by directly targeting and repressing TXNRD1. It was also noticed that TXNRD1 could regulate cyclin, cell adhesion molecule, and apoptosis-related proteins. Furthermore, silencing circ0120816 was found to repress ESCC tumor growth and metastasis in vivo.
Conclusions
This research confirmed that circ0120816 played an active role in promoting ESCC development by targeting miR-1305 and upregulating oncogene TXNRD1.

Background: The morbidity and mortality of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains stubbornly high, in spite of emerging new diagnoses methods. The role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in ESCC progression is still in need of more exploration. Methods: In this research, we gathered 36 patients’ ESCC tissues to analyze the expression of circ0120816, miR-1305 and TXNRD1. KYSE450 and KYSE510 cells were used to conduct the transfection. Aiming to verify our hypothesis, qRT-PCR, RNase R treatment, nuclear extraction, luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation assay, CCK-8, BrdU, cell adhesion, caspase 3 activity assay were used. Results: Circ0120816, upregulated in ESCC, acted as a sponge for miR-1305. Circ0120816 combined miR-1305 to enhance cell viability, proliferation adhesion and repress cell apoptosis in ESCC cell lines. On the contrary, miR-1305 exerted reversed effect in ESCC cells through decreasing TXNRD1. Conclusions: This research demonstrated that circ0120816 promoted ESCC development by competitive binding miR-1305 which could increase the expression of TXNRD1.
