Background:
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs that are involved in the progression of many human cancers. The precise gene locus and the roles of circular RNA from Fibronectin type III domain containing 3B (FNDC3B) in OS and its mechanisms of action have not been fully explored.
Materials And Methods:
qRT-qPCR assay was used to determine gene expressions. CCK8 Assay, EdU assay, wound-healing assay, transwell invasion assay and in vivo xenograft assay were used to perform functional investigations. RNA-FISH, immunofluorescence, RIP assay, RNA stability analysis were applied in mechanistic studies.
Results:
We found that circFNDC3B downregulated and FNDC3B mRNA upregulated in OS, and might be potential biomarkers for indicating disease progression and prognosis of OS patients. CircFNDC3B acted as a tumor suppressor gene to restrain OS progression and FNDC3B functioned as an oncogene to promote OS progression in vitro and in vivo. RNA binding protein RNA binding motif protein 47 (RBM47) could bind to the flanking introns of circFNDC3B to facilitate the generation of circFNDC3B, resulting in the reduction of FNDC3B mRNA and the circFNDC3B-FNDC3B mRNA imbalance. CircFNDC3B also inhibited FNDC3B mRNA expression by reducing its stability via competitively binding to Insulin-like growth-factor-2 mRNA binding protein (IGF2BP1).
Conclusion:
This study demonstrated that RBM47 and IGF2BP1 mediated circular FNDC3B/FNDC3B mRNA imbalance was involved in the malignant processes of OS.
