Abstract:
Objective The relationship between circular RNAs (circRNA) and lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) remains to be further explored. This study aimed to investigate the expression of Hsa_circ_0002360 in LAC and its value in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the malignancy. Methods This study included 50 cases of LAC treated in our hospital from May 2018 to June 2019 and another 50 healthy subjects as normal controls. We determined the expression of Hsa_circ_0002360 in the LAC cells by qRT⁃PCR. We cultured human LAC cell lines A549, H1299 and H1975 and human bronchial mucosal epithelial cell line BEAS-2B, inoculated the A549 and H1975 LAC cells in the 6-well plate, with 3 wells for si-circRNAs and the other 3 for negative controls (si-NC), followed by cell transfection experiment. Using the CCK8, colony formation and wound healing assays, we detected the effects of Hsa_circ_0002360 on the activity, proliferation, invasiveness and metastasis of the A549 and H1975 cells. Results The expression of Hsa_circ_0002360 was significantly higher in the LAC tissue than in the adjacent tissue (2.84 ± 0.12 vs 1.46 ± 0.08, P < 0.01), and so was it in the serum of the LAC patients than in the normal controls (2.59 ± 0.17 vs 1.21 ± 0.11, P < 0.01), but remarkably lower in the serum of the patients after than before surgery (1.58 ± 0.09 vs 2.65 ± 0.13, P < 0.01). Besides, its expression was significantly increased in the LAC A549, H1299 and H1975 cell lines compared with that in the BEAS-2B cells (P < 0.05). In comparison with the si-NC group, the si-circRNA group showed significant decreases in the rates of colony formation ([65.66± 4.93]% vs [38.33 ± 1.69]%, P < 0.01) and migration of the cells ([54.66±4.10]% vs [13.50 ± 3.34]%, P < 0.01) and in the count of H1975 cells as well (P < 0.01). Conclusion Hsa_circ_0002360 can be used as a biomarker for the early diagnosis and treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.
