Role of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related circular RNA, circ-10720, in non-small-cell lung cancer

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding RNAs with a circular structure that have recently emerged as important regulators of tumorogenesis. Recently, several circRNAS, including circ-10720 have been related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. In the present study, we have...

Recently, several circRNAS, including circ-10720 have been related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. In the present study, we have analyzed the role of circ-10720 in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and studied its prognostic relevance in resected stage I-IIIa NSCLC patients. Methods: Circ-10720 expression was analyzed using a custom TaqMan assay in four NSCLC cell lines (HCC44, A549, H23 and H1299) and in the normal immortalized lung cell line BEAS2B. Silencing of circ10720 was performed using two custom siRNAs which were transfected using lipofectamine 2000. Protein levels were evaluated by Western blot and immunofluorescence. Wound healing and invasion assays were performed to evaluate the impact the circRNA on cell motility. Apoptosis was analyzed by evaluation of Caspase 3-7 activity and proliferation by MTS assay. Moreover, the expression levels of the circRNA were studied in 119 resected NSCLC patients. The expression in tumor tissue was correlated with the main clinicopathological characteristics and with time to relapse (TTR). Results: Circ-10720 was overexpressed in HCC44 and A549 and underexpressed in H23 and H1299 NSCLC cell lines in comparison to BEAS2B normal immortalized lung cell line. CircRNA knockdown in the two circ-10720 overexpressing cell lines was associated with a decrease of Vimentin (VIM) and an increase of E-cadherin (CDH1) protein levels, loss of mesenchymal phenotype, and a significant reduction of migration and invasion capacity. After silencing circ-10720, the apoptosis rate increased and the proliferation was significantly reduced. Furthermore, circ-10720 was upregulated in tumor vs. normal tissue from 119 resected NSCLC patients. In the group of patients not receiving adjuvant treatment, those with high levels of circ-10720 had a shorter TTR than those with low levels and emerged as an independent prognostic value in the multivariate analysis. In tumor tissue, circ-10720 levels positively correlated with the EMT gene Twist1 levels. Conclusions: Circ-10720 regulates EMT, apoptosis and proliferation and acts as a biomarker of relapse in NSCLC.AME Publishing Company2021info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/184005Articles publicats en revistes (Cirurgia i Especialitats Medicoquirúrgiques)reponame:Dipòsit Digital de la UBinstname:Universidad de BarcelonaInglésReproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.21037/tlcr-20-920Translational Lung Cancer Research, 2021, vol. 10, num. 4, p. 1804-1818https://doi.org/10.21037/tlcr-20-920cc-by-nc-nd (c) AME Publishing Company, 2021https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:diposit.ub.edu:2445/1840052026-05-27T06:46:51Z
