CircRNA_102179 promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion in non-small cell lung cancer cells by regulating miR-330-5p/HMGB3 axis.

Abstract

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for 85 % of all lung cancer was one of the main causes of death worldwide. In this study, we investigated the role of circRNA_102179 in NSCLC development. The levels of circRNA_102179 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines were determined by quantitative real-time PCR assay (qRT-PCR). CCK8 and colony formation assays were applied to explore the effect of circRNA_102179 on the growth of NSCLC cells in vitro. Transwell assay was utilized to analyze the impact of circRNA_102179 on the migration and invasion of NSCLC cells. Target prediction and luciferase reporter assay were used to identify the interacting miRNA of circRNA_102179. The interaction among circRNA_102179/ miR-330-5p/HMGB3 was further validated by colony formation and Transwell invasion assays. Finally, the mouse xenograft NSCLC model was used to explore the role of circRNA_102179 in the tumor growth of NSCLC cells in vivo. CircRNA_102179 was overexpressed in NSCLC tissues and cells compared with normal lung tissues and human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEs). The down-regulation of circRNA_102179 markedly reduced the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells. Moreover, down-expression of circRNA_102179 significantly increased the level of miR-330-5p/HMGB3 in NSCLC cells. Further functional experiments indicated that over-expression of miR-330-5p reversed the inhibitory effect of circRNA_102179 on NSCLC cells growth, migration, and invasion. Our results reveal that circRNA_102179 facilitates the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cell via modulating miR-330-5p/ HMGB3 axis in NSCLC cells.
