Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been involved in the biological process of CRC. This study aimed to explore the effects of circ_0005927 on CRC progression and underneath mechanism.Materials and Methods: The expression of circ_0005927, microRNA-942-5p (miR-942-5p) and basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor 2 (BATF2) was detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The protein expression of BATF2 was determined by Western blot. The effects among circ_0005927, miR-942-5p and BATF2 on cell colony-forming ability, apoptosis and migratory and invasive abilities were revealed by cell colony formation, flow apoptosis and transwell assays, respectively. The associated relationship between miR-942-5p and circ_0005927 or BATF2 was predicted by Circinteractome or TargetScan online database, and identified by dual-luciferase reporter or RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. The impacts of circ_0005927 overexpression on tumor growth in vivo were investigated by in vivo tumor formation assay.Results: Circ_0005927 expression and the mRNA and protein expression of BATF2 were dramatically downregulated, while miR-942-5p expression was obviously upregulated in CRC tissues or cells compared with control groups. Circ_0005927 overexpression repressed cell colony-forming ability, migration and invasion, whereas induced cell apoptosis in CRC; however, these impacts were hindered by miR-942-5p mimic or BATF2 knockdown. Furthermore, circ_0005927 was a sponge of miR-942-5p, and miR-942-5p bound to BATF2. In addition, circ_0005927 overexpression repressed tumor growth in vivo.Conclusion: Circ_0005927 suppressed cell colony-forming ability, migration and invasion, and promoted cell apoptosis by sponging miR-942-5p to induce BATF2 in CRC. The possible mechanism provides a theoretical basis for the study of circRNA-directed therapy for CRC.Keywords: circular RNA, circ_0005927, miR-942-5p, BATF2, CRC |
