Abstract

Oncogenic fusion gene Echinoderm Microtubule-associated protein-Like 4-Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (EML4-ALK) contributes to tumorigenesis of a subset of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recently, we demonstrated that F-circEA-4a, a tumor-promoting circular RNA (circRNA) generated from the back-splicing of EML4-ALK variant 3b (v3b), is a novel liquid biopsy biomarker for NSCLC. However, circRNAs produced from EML4-ALK gene and their roles in NSCLC are not well-characterized. Here, we identify another EML4-ALK-v3b-derived circRNA, F-circEA-2a, harboring "AA" (rather than "AAAA" in F-circEA-4a) motif at the junction site. F-circEA-2a mainly locates in the cytoplasm and promotes cell migration and invasion, but has little effect on cell proliferation. Moreover, F-circEA-2a exists in tumor, but not in the plasma of NSCLC patients with EML4-ALK fusion gene, further supporting the significant diagnostic value of F-circEA-4a for EML4-ALK-positive NSCLC. This work finds a novel oncogenic circRNA generated from EML4-ALK fusion gene, highlighting the pivotal role of circRNA in EML4-ALK-positive NSCLC development.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
