ABSTRACT

Background The role of circular RNA (circRNA) in gastric cancer (GC) is attracting increasing attention. CircNOP10 (hsa_circ-0034351) has been reported to be upregulated in human GC tissue. However, the biological role and mechanism of circNOP10 in GC remain unknown. Methods Circular RNA expression profile of GC was detected based on microarray, and circNOP10 was identified for the subsequent investigation. Clinical samples of GC tissue and patient blood were obtained from the Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University. The different degraded GC cell lines were presented in our laboratory. The function and mechanism of circNOP10 in GC were investigated using Western blot, qRT-PCR, flow cytometry, in situ hybridization and pull down experiment. Results The results indicated that increased circNOP10 in GC tissue was involved in tumor stage and prognosis. In addition, circNOP10 sponged microRNA-24 (miR-204)-mediated biological processes through sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), which further confirmed that the circNOP10/miR-204/SIRT1 pathway promoted proliferation and migration as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the NF-κβ pathway in GC cell lines. Conclusions Candidate oncogene circNOP10 mediated GC cell proliferation, arrest cell cycle in G2/M phase, induced cell apoptosis, enhanced tumor metastasis, as well as EMT by activating the miR-204/SIRT1 pathway, suggesting that it may serve as a potential biomarker in GC therapy.
