Background: Glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system, and often displays invasive growth. Recently, circular RNA (circRNA), which is a novel non-coding type of RNA, has been shown to play a vital role in glioma tumorigenesis. However, the functions and mechanism of lipocalin-2 (Lcn2)-derived circular RNA (hsa_circ_0088732) in glioma progression remain unclear. Methods: We evaluated hsa_circ_0088732 expression by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), Sanger sequencing, and PCR assays. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry and Hoechst 33258 staining. Transwell migration and invasion assays were performed to measure cell metastasis and viability. In addition, the target miRNA of hsa_circ_0088732 and the target gene of miR-661 were predicted by a bioinformatics analysis, and the interactions were verified by dual-luciferase reporter assays. RAB3D expression was analyzed by an immunochemistry assay, and E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin protein expression were examined by western blot assays. A mouse xenograft model was developed and used to analyze the effects of hsa_circ_0088732 on glioma growth in vivo. Results: We verified that hsa_circ_0088732 is circular and highly expressed in glioma tissues. Knockdown of hsa_circ_0088732 induced glioma cell apoptosis and inhibited glioma cell migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We found that hsa_circ_0088732 negatively regulated miR-661 by targeting miR-661, and RAB3D was a target gene of miR-661. In addition, inhibition of miR-661 promoted glioma cell metastasis and suppressed cell apoptosis. Knockdown of RAB3D induced cell apoptosis and suppressed cell metastasis. Moreover, hsa_circ_0088732 accelerated glioma progression through its effects on the miR-661/RAB3D axis. Finally, results from a mouse xenograft model confirmed that knockdown of hsa_circ_0088732 induced miR-661 expression, resulting in suppression of RAB3D expression and inhibition of tumor growth in vivo. Conclusion: We demonstrated that hsa_circ_0088732 facilitated glioma progression by sponging miR-661 to increase RAB3D expression. This study provides a theoretical basis for understanding the development and occurrence of glioma, as well as for the development of targeted drugs.

Global nonprofit biological resource center (BRC) and research organization that provides biological products, technical services and educational programs to private industry, government and academic organizations. Its mission is to acquire, authenticate, preserve, develop and distribute biological materials, information, technology, intellectual property and standards for the advancement and application of scientific knowledge. The primary purpose of ATCC is to use its resources and experience as a BRC to become the world leader in standard biological reference materials management, intellectual property resource management and translational research as applied to biomaterial development, standardization and certification. ATCC characterizes cell lines, bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa, as well as develops and evaluates assays and techniques for validating research resources and preserving and distributing biological materials to the public and private sector research communities.
View all literature mentionsPublic database with millions of high-resolution images showing the spatial distribution of proteins in different normal human tissues and cancer types, as well as different human cell lines. The data is released together with application-specific validation performed for each antibody, including immunohistochemisty, Western blot analysis and, for a large fraction, a protein array assay and immunofluorescent based confocal microscopy. The database has been developed in a gene-centric manner with the inclusion of all human genes predicted from genome efforts. Search functionalities allow for complex queries regarding protein expression profiles, protein classes and chromosome location. Antibodies included have been analyzed using a standardized protocol in a single attempt without further efforts to optimize the procedure and therefore it cannot be excluded that certain observed binding properties are due to technical rather than biological reasons and that further optimization could result in a different outcome. Submission of antibodies: The Swedish Human Proteome Atlas (HPA) program, invites submission of antibodies from both academic and commercial sources to be included in the human protein atlas. All antibodies will be validated by the HPA-program by a standard procedure and antibodies that are accepted will be use in the tissue- profiling program to generate high-resolution immunohistochemistry images representing a wide spectrum of normal tissues and cancer types.
