Abstract

Background

circRNA NFIX has been shown to exist as an oncogene in glioma. But its expression and role in NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) are still unclear. This research aimed to discover the expression and function of circRNA NFIX in NSCLC.

Methods

In this research, qRT-PCR was utilized to investigate the expression levels of circRNA NFIX, miRNA-214-3p, and TRIAP1 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. The binding sites between circRNA NFIX/TRIAP1 and miRNA-214-3p were predicted using the Starbase. These interactions were further validated using a double luciferase reporter assay. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed through MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins was measured by western blot assay.

Results

miRNA-214-3p could link with circRNA NFIX. circRNA NFIX was upregulated, while miRNA-214-3p was downregulated in NSCLC cell lines and clinical samples. Besides, suppression of circRNA NFIX repressed cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in NSCLC cells by upregulating miRNA-214-3p expression. Besides, the data indicated that TRIAP1 was a target of miRNA-214-3p, and it was negatively regulated by miRNA-214-3p in NSCLC cells. The excessive expression of miRNA-214-3p suppressed NSCLC cell proliferation and increased apoptosis. In addition, overexpression of TRIAP1 significantly reversed the effects on NSCLC cells caused by miRNA-214-3p mimic.

Conclusion

circRNA NFIX silencing repressed the proliferation of NSCLC cells and induced cell apoptosis by regulating the miR-214-3p/TRIAP1 axis, which was a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for NSCLC.

环状 RNA NFIX 通过调节 miR-214-3p/TRIAP1 轴在非小细胞肺癌中发挥癌基因的功能

背景：circRNA NFIX 已被证明是胶质瘤的致癌基因。但它在 NSCLC（非小细胞肺癌）中的表达和作用仍不清楚。本研究旨在发现 circRNA NFIX 在 NSCLC 中的表达和功能：方法：本研究利用 qRT-PCR 技术检测了 circRNA NFIX、miRNA-214-3p 和 TRIAP1 在 NSCLC 组织和细胞系中的表达水平。利用Starbase预测了circRNA NFIX/TRIAP1与miRNA-214-3p之间的结合位点。使用双荧光素酶报告实验进一步验证了这些相互作用。细胞增殖和凋亡分别通过 MTT 和流式细胞术进行评估。结果表明：miRNA-214-3p 可与 circRNA NFIX 连接。在 NSCLC 细胞系和临床样本中，circRNA NFIX 上调，而 miRNA-214-3p 下调。此外，抑制 circRNA NFIX 可抑制细胞增殖，并通过上调 miRNA-214-3p 的表达诱导 NSCLC 细胞凋亡。此外，数据还表明，TRIAP1是miRNA-214-3p的靶标，它在NSCLC细胞中受到miRNA-214-3p的负调控。miRNA-214-3p的过度表达抑制了NSCLC细胞的增殖，增加了细胞的凋亡。结论：circRNA NFIX沉默通过调节miR-214-3p/TRIAP1轴抑制NSCLC细胞增殖并诱导细胞凋亡，是NSCLC的潜在诊断和治疗靶点。
