Abstract

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of noncoding RNAs, whose importance in cancer has been gradually acknowledged. However, the functions of circRNAs in tumorigenesis have not been fully understood. In the present study, we identified a novel circRNA hsa_circ_0002052 significantly downregulated in osteosarcoma (OS) tissues and cell lines. Moreover, we found that hsa_circ_0002052 could act as a biomarker to indicate the prognosis of OS patients. Functionally, we showed that hsa_circ_0002052 overexpression significantly suppressed OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion while promoting apoptosis in vitro. Similarly, in vivo assay indicated that ectopic expression of hsa_circ_0002052 impaired OS cell growth. In terms of mechanism, we found that hsa_circ_0002052 inhibited miR-1205 while miR1205 targeted APC2, a negative regulator of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. By releasing the inhibition of miR-1205 on APC2 expression, hsa_circ_0002052 suppressed the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, leading to attenuated OS progression. Taken together, our study for the first time revealed a suppressive circRNA hsa_circ_0002052 involved in OS progression. Our study suggested hsa_circ_0002052/miR-1205/APC2/Wnt/β-caten...Continue Reading

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.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

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.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

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.
