CircXRCC5, as a Potential Novel Biomarker, Promotes Glioma Progression via the miR-490-3p/XRCC5/CLC3 Competing Endogenous RNA Network
Neuroscience(2022)
Abstract
RNAs (circRNAs), forming a covalently closed loop, are identified as a special subgroup of non-coding RNAs. Herein, we investigated the function and underlying mechanism of circXRCC5, generated from the XRCC5 gene, in glioma progression. Bioinformatics analysis was employed to determine the genomic infor-mation of circXRCC5 derived from XRCC5 pre-mRNA. Quantitative real-time PCR was conducted to examine the expression of circXRCC5 in glioma tissues and cells. Stable knockdown of circXRCC5 in U87 and U251 cells was established to assess its' biological functions. Cell Counting Kit-8, EdU incorporation, flow cytometry and tran-swell assay were performed to evaluate cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion, respectively. The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was verified using luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecip-itation. The samples were subjected to CHIP to ascertain the transcriptional regulation of XRCC5 at the promoter region of CLC3. Up-regulation of circXRCC5 was observed in glioma tissues and cell lines, and indicated poor prognosis of glioma patients. Knockdown of circXRCC5 suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion, while facilitated apoptosis. Mechanistically, circXRCC5 acted as a molecular sponge for miR-490-3p in a sequence-specific manner. There was a reciprocal negative feedback between circXRCC5 and miR-490-3p in an Argonaute2-dependent manner. Moreover, circXRCC5 acted as a sponge of miR-490-3p to regulate the expression of downstream target gene XRCC5, thus activating the transcription of CLC3, which fostered the progression of glioma. Collectively, circXRCC5 promoted glioma progression via the miR-490-3p/XRCC5/CLC3 ceRNA network, providing a novel prognostic biomarker and a prospective target for glioma treatment. (c) 2022 IBRO.
