CircMCTP2 enhances the progression of bladder cancer by regulating the miR-99a-5p/FZD8 axis.
Background: CircRNAs and miRNAs are involved in the progression of tumor. CircMCTP2 is considered as a novel tumor promoter. However, the exact functions of circMCTP2 in bladder cancer are still unclear. This study was designed to explore the underlying mechanisms of circMCTP2-modulated tumor development in bladder cancer.
Methods: The present study is an original research. The levels of circMCTP2 in a total of 39 bladder cancer specimens and cell lines were determined by RT-qPCR. The expression of FZD8 in T24 and RT-4 cells treated with miR-99a-5p mimics were examined using western blotting. In addition, the proliferative, migrative and invasive abilities of transfected cells were determined by CCK8 and Transwell assays. Furthermore, the apoptosis of transfected cells was evaluated using flow cytometry. Dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to elucidate the relationship between miR-99a-5p and circMCTP2/FZD8.
Results: The levels of circMCTP2 were elevated in bladder cancer samples and cells, and this was related to worse survival rate. Downregulation of circMCTP2 suppressed growth and metastasis of cells, whereas the apoptotic rate of cells was enhanced. The levels of miR-99a-5rp was elevated after the downregulation of circMCTP2. Moreover, reverse correlation between the expression of miR-99a-5p and circMCTP2 was revealed in bladder cancer specimens. Additionally, FZD8 was the putative target of miR-99a-5p and the mimics of miR-99a-5p inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells via the FZD8/Wnt-b-catenin axis. Moreover, circMCTP2 regulated the growth and metastasis of bladder cancer cells potentially through regulating the miR-99a-5p/FZD8/Wnt-b-catenin axis. In summary, circMCTP2 was considered as an oncogenic factor through regulating the miR-99a-5p/FZD8/Wnt-b-catenin axis.
Conclusions: This novel signaling could regulate the biological behaviours of bladder cancer cells, and these findings highlighted circMCTP2 as a critical target for treating bladder cancer.
期刊介绍：
As the official publication of the National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, the Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute (JENCI) is an open access peer-reviewed journal that publishes on the latest innovations in oncology and thereby, providing academics and clinicians a leading research platform. JENCI welcomes submissions pertaining to all fields of basic, applied and clinical cancer research. Main topics of interest include: local and systemic anticancer therapy (with specific interest on applied cancer research from developing countries); experimental oncology; early cancer detection; randomized trials (including negatives ones); and key emerging fields of personalized medicine, such as molecular pathology, bioinformatics, and biotechnologies.
