Description
Summary:Objective: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been demonstrated in playing an important role in the physiological and pathological processes (such as cancer). This paper aims to clarify the role of Circ_0006677 in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression.Methods: Using clinical data and in vitro cell line models, we revealed the tumor-suppressive role of circ_0006677 in lung cancer. Using the online bioinformatics tool, we predicted the target of circ_0006677 and further validated its regulatory mechanisms responsible for its tumor suppressor function in NSCLC.Results: Circ_0006677 expression was reduced in NSCLC tissues of patients and lung cancer cells in comparison to adjacent normal tissues. Lower expression of circ_0006677 was significantly associated with poorer patient survival. Overexpression of circ_0006677 significantly inhibited the ability of NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and glycolysis. Mechanically, circ_0006677 could inhibit NSCLC progression and glycolysis by regulating the expression of the signal transducer inhibitor SOSC2 through sponging microRNA-578 (miR-578).Conclusion: Circ_0006677 prevents the progression of NSCLC via modulating the miR-578/SOSC2 axis.
