The circRNA circSCAF8 promotes tumor growth and metastasis of gastric cancer via miR-1293/TIMP1signaling.
SR-like CTD-associated factor 8 (SCAF8) can regulate transcriptional termination, but the function of circSCAF8 remains unclear. In our study, we observed a significant increase in circSCAF8 expression in gastric cancer, particularly in tissues with lymph node metastasis. The Kaplan-Meier curve revealed that high circSCAF8 expression was associated with a low overall survival time in gastric cancer patients. Moreover, circSCAF8 shRNA effectively decreased gastric cancer proliferation, invasion, and migration in vitro. Additionally, using bioluminescence imaging (BLI) technology in vivo, we found that circSCAF8 shRNA viruses inhibited the growth of xenograft tumors and gastric cancer lung metastasis. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and circRNA pulldown assays confirmed the direct binding of circSCAF8 to miR-1293, but circSCAF8 could not regulate the expression of miR-1293 in gastric cancer. Interestingly, circSCAF8 regulated the downstream gene tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP1) of miR-1293, and this observation was further verified in gastric cancer tissues. Moreover, we confirmed that miR-1293 directly suppressed TIMP1 expression. Subsequent rescue experiments revealed that TIMP1 overexpression reversed the impact of circSCAF8 shRNA viruses on gastric cancer. In conclusion, circSCAF8 expression was elevated in gastric cancer, and circSCAF8 shRNA viruses inhibited gastric cancer growth and metastasis by upregulating TIMP1 expression via miR-1293.
