Background

Aberrant expression of circRNAs is involved in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed at screening the pro-tumorigenic circular RNAs (circRNAs) in HCC and the mechanisms of circCPSF6 expression influencing HCC characteristics.

Method

circCPSF6 was identified in HCC tissues using high-throughput sequencing data, and its expression was verified in both HCC tissues and cell lines using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). CCK-8 and Transwell assays were used to evaluate the effects of circCPSF6 on HCC proliferation and migration. A xenograft mouse model was used to investigate the effects of circCPSF6 on HCC progression in vivo, and the significance of circCPSF6 in HCC was verified both in vivo and in vitro. circCPSF6-associated miRNAs and mRNAs were identified using bioinformatic analyses. Luciferase reporter, RNA pull-down, Fluorescence in situ hybridization, and RNA immunoprecipitation assays were performed to elucidate the circCPSF6 regulatory axis in HCC.

Result

CircCPSF6 expression was increased in HCC cell lines and tissues, and the expression of its parental mRNA was positively correlated with tumor severity and negatively correlated with survival. Mechanistic analyses of HCC cell lines showed that tumorigenesis was inhibited by circCPSF6 knockdown and promoted by its overexpression. Functional analyses revealed that circCPSF6 mediated HCC development by sponging miR-145-5p as a competing endogenous RNA. Furthermore, this sponging upregulated the miR-145-5p target gene MAP4K4, a classical pro-tumorigenic gene.

Conclusion

Our findings reveal a regulatory network that includes the circCPSF6-miR-145-5p-MAP4K4 axis. Elements of this axis are potential HCC biomarkers, as well as targets for HCC treatment."xsd:string
