Abstract:
Growing evidence indicates that circular RNA (circRNA) plays an important role in the regulation of tumor biological behaviors. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of a novel circRNA, circ_0034642, in glioma. qRT-PCR was conducted to evaluate the levels of circ_0034642 in glioma tissues and cells. In addition, the clinical severity and prognostic role of circ_0034642 were illustrated. Functionally, loss and gain-of function assays were performed by CCK-8, colony-forming, flow cytometric and transwell experiments in glioma cells. Moreover, luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the mechanism of circ_0034642. Circ_0034642 was upregulated in glioma tissues and cell lines. Overexpressed circ_0034642 was correlated with adverse phenotypes in the patients with glioma. In addition, circ_0034642 could be regarded as a prognostic predictor for glioma patients. Moreover, circ_0034642 could promote cell proliferation, migratory and invasive capacities and inhibit cell apoptosis. For the mechanism investigation, circ_0034642 was proved to be a sponge of miR-1205, and miR-1205 could regulate BATF3 expression via targeting 3'UTR of BATF3. Rescue assays also illustrated that the oncogenic function of circ_0034642 is partly attributed to its modulation on miR-1205/BATF3 axis. Collectively, circ_0034642/miR-1205/BATF3 pathway may play an important role in glioma.

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...

Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
