Abstract
This study was aimed at probing into the regulatory effects of circular RNA (circRNA)_0001982 on glioma cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle, and its underlying mechanism. CircRNA expression profile of glioma tissues/normal brain tissues was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and analyzed. Circ_0001982, microRNA (miRNA, miR)-1205, and E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) expressions in glioma tissues and cell lines were quantified using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and/or Western blot. Glioma cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle were detected employing cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-Ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU), scratch-healing, Transwell, and flow cytometry assays, respectively. The targeting relationships between miR-1205 and circ_0001982, and miR-1205 and E2F1 3′UTR were verified using bioinformatics, dual-luciferase reporter experiments, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. Pearson’s correlation analysis was applied to detect the correlations among circ_0001982, miR-1205, and E2F1 expression levels. Circ_0001982 expression level was increased in glioma tissues and correlated with larger tumor size. Circ_0001982 overexpression enhanced glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and accelerated cell cycle progression while knocking down circ_0001982 exerted opposite effects. Circ_0001982 directly targeted miR-1205, and miR-1205 directly targeted E2F1. Besides, circ_0001982 could up-regulate E2F1 expression via repressing miR-1205 expression. Circ_0001982 accelerates glioma progression by modulating the miR-1205/E2F1 axis.
