Abstract:
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant hematological tumor with a high prevalence in elderly people, and circular RNA (circRNA) plays an important role in age-related diseases. Induction of cancer cell senescence is a highly promising therapeutic strategy; however, the presence of senescence-associated circRNAs in AML remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that the expression patterns of circRNAs differed between elderly AML patients and healthy volunteers. circSATB1 was significantly overexpressed in elderly patients and AML cells. Knockdown of circSATB1 resulted in the inhibition of proliferation and arrest of the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase; no effect on apoptosis or DNA integrity was observed, and precocious cellular senescence was promoted, characterized by no change in telomere length. Database analysis revealed that there may be two miRNA and nine RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) involved in regulating the cellular functions of circSATB1. Our observations uncover circSATB1-orchestrated cell senescence in AML, which provides clues for finding more modest therapeutic targets for AML.
