Objective:
This study aims to elucidate the role of circ-RPL15 in the progression of glioma.
Patients And Methods:
Circ-RPL15 levels in glioma tissues and normal brain tissues were detected. Subcellular distribution of circ-RPL15 was examined. The binding between miR-146b-3p and circ-RPL15 was verified by Luciferase assay. Potential targets of miR-146b-3p were further determined. The influences of the circ-RPL15/miR-146b-3p/VEGFA feedback loop on proliferative and migratory abilities in T98G and U251 cells were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell assay, respectively.
Results:
Circ-RPL15 and VEGFA were upregulated in glioma tissues than normal ones, whereas miR-146b-3p was downregulated. Circ-RPL15 was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm. The interaction in the circ-RPL15/miR-146b-3p/VEGFA feedback loop was indicated by Luciferase assay, and it markedly promoted proliferative and migratory abilities in glioma.
Conclusions:
Circ-RPL15 triggers proliferative and migratory potentials in glioma by competitively binding miR-146b-3p and thus upregulates VEGFA.
