Abstract

Background: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are emerging as new players in the cancer paradigm. In the present study, the authors aimed to further explore the role and mechanism of circ_0081143 in GC progression under hypoxia. Materials and Methods: The expression levels of circ_0081143, miR-497-5p, and EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell migration and invasion abilities were determined by Transwell assay. The levels of vimentin, N-cadherin, E-cadherin, and EGFR were evaluated using Western blot. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the targeted correlation between miR-497-5p and circ_0081143 or EGFR. Results: These data indicated that circ_0081143 expression was increased in GC tissues and cells. The knockdown of circ_0081143 relieved hypoxia-induced GC cell migration, invasion, and epithelial/mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, circ_0081143 regulated the abundance of miR-497-5p through sponging miR-497-5p. The alleviative effects of circ_0081143 knockdown on GC cell migration, invasion, and EMT under hypoxia were mediated by miR-497-5p. Furthermore, miR-497-5p directly ta...Continue Reading

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.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.
