Molecular mechanism of circRHOT1 regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of colon cancer SW620 cells by targeting miR‑493‑5p
To investigate the effects of circRHOT1 and miR‑493‑5p on the survival of colon cancer cells and the relationship between them.
Methods
2
In this experiment
we utilized the colon cancer cell line SW620 and 43 pairs of colon cancer tissues and adjacent non‑cancerous tissues. The SW620 cells were transfected and divided into the following groups: si‑NC group
si‑circRHOT1 group
miR‑NC group
miR‑493‑5p group
si‑circRHOT1+anti‑miR‑NC group
and si‑circRHOT1+anti‑miR‑493‑5p group. qRT‑PCR was used to measure the circRHOT1 and miR‑493‑5p expression levels. Western Blot was used to detect the expression of proteins related to cell proliferation and apoptosis. The proliferation and apoptosis of SW620 cells were assessed using the CCK‑8 assay and flow cytometry
respectively. The targeting relationship between circRHOT1 and miR‑493‑5p was validated through a dual‑luciferase reporter assay.
Results
2
circRHOT1 was elevated and miR‑493‑5p was reduced in colon cancer tissues (
P
<
0.05). Knocking down of circRHOT1 in SW620 cells could reduce cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis (
P
<
0.05). Further mechanism analysis confirmed that miR‑493‑5p was the functional target of circRHOT1. Overexpression of miR‑493‑5p inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis (
P
<
0.05). miR‑493‑5p deletion reversed the anti‑proliferation and pro‑apoptotic effects induced by circRHOT1 downregulation in SW620 cells (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Silencing circRHOT1 expression increased the miR‑493‑5p expression level in SW620 cells
thereby inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis.
