Abstract
BACKGROUND: Circular RNA hsa_circ_0061395 (circ_0061395) has been reported to accelerate the advancement of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the regulatory mechanism by which circ_0061395 modulates the progression of HCC is unclear. METHODS: The morphology and size of exosomes were analyzed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and nanoparticle-tracking analysis (NTA). Protein levels were detected by western blotting. Expression levels of circ_0061395, microRNA (miR)-877-5p, and phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 3 (PIK3R3) mRNA were assessed by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The proliferation, invasion, migration, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis were analyzed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), plate clone, transwell, or flow cytometry assays. The targeting relationship between circ_0061395 or PIK3R3 and miR-877-5p was verified using the dual-luciferase reporter and/or RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Xenograft assay was performed to confirm the biological function of circ_0061395 in HCC. RESULTS: Circ_0061395 was upregulated in HCC tissues, serum, cells, and serum-derived exosomes. Circ_0061395 silencing decreased tumor growth in vivo, and induced cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, repressed proliferation, invasion, and migration of HCC cells in vitro. MiR-877-5p was downregulated while PIK3R3 was upregulated in HCC. Circ_0061395 regulated PIK3R3 expression via competitively binding to miR-877-5p. MiR-877-5p inhibitor overturned circ_0061395 knockdown-mediated influence on malignant behaviors of HCC cells. PIK3R3 overexpression reversed the suppressive influence of miR-877-5p mimic on malignant behaviors of HCC cells. CONCLUSION: Circ_0061395 facilitated HCC progression via regulating the miR-877-5p/PIK3R3 axis, providing a new perspective on the advancement of HCC.
