Salmonella typhimurium downregulates circHIPK2 expression via CeRNA mechanism to inhibit cell migration and tumorigenesis.
Background: Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) is one of the typical intestinal pathogens leading to gastrointestinal diseases. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a covalently closed-loop RNA molecule that lacks 3' and 5' ends, and it plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of human diseases. However, whether host circRNAs expression could be regulated by S. typhimurium infection during tumorigenesis and development is still not clear. This study aim is to explore the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanisms of altered circular RNAs expression in S. typhimurium infection in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Results: Transcriptomic analysis revealed numerous cellular circRNAs that were significantly regulated by S. typhimurium in the colorectal cancer cell line HCT116. Notably, circHIPK2 exhibited the most pronounced downregulation among them. Knockdown of circHIPK2 inhibited cell motility, tumor growth and epithelial cell cytokine expression like IL8, IL6 and GM-CSF induced by SL1344. The interaction between circHIPK2 with miR-124-3p was confirmed through RNA molecular binding experiment. Furthermore, overexpressed miR-124-3p abrogated cell motility induced by circHIPK2.
Conclusion: The S. typhimurium-regulated circHIPK2/miR-124-3p axis is pivotal in CRC pathogenesis and holds promise as a molecular therapeutic target for treating colitis-associated colorectal cancer.

期刊介绍:
Gut Pathogens is a fast publishing, inclusive and prominent international journal which recognizes the need for a publishing platform uniquely tailored to reflect the full breadth of research in the biology and medicine of pathogens, commensals and functional microbiota of the gut. The journal publishes basic, clinical and cutting-edge research on all aspects of the above mentioned organisms including probiotic bacteria and yeasts and their products. The scope also covers the related ecology, molecular genetics, physiology and epidemiology of these microbes. The journal actively invites timely reports on the novel aspects of genomics, metagenomics, microbiota profiling and systems biology.
Gut Pathogens will also consider, at the discretion of the editors, descriptive studies identifying a new genome sequence of a gut microbe or a series of related microbes (such as those obtained from new hosts, niches, settings, outbreaks and epidemics) and those obtained from single or multiple hosts at one or different time points (chronological evolution).
