CircNT5E Acts as a Sponge of miR-422a to Promote Glioblastoma Tumorigenesis

Abstract

Circular RNA and long noncoding RNA function as efficient miRNA sponges that regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. However, the sponges of functional miRNAs in glioblastoma remain largely unknown. Here, we identify a subset of circRNAs and lncRNAs that are specifically increased in miR-422a–downregulated glioblastoma tissues. We characterized a novel circRNA derived from NT5E, named circNT5E, that is regulated by ADARB2 binding to sites flanking circRNA-forming introns. We hypothesized that circNT5E may serve as a sponge against miR-422a in glioblastoma tumorigenesis. circNT5E controlled multiple pathologic processes, including cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. circNT5E directly bound miR-422a and inhibited miR-422a activity. Furthermore, circNT5E was observed to sponge other miRNAs, exhibiting tumor suppressor–like features in glioblastoma. Taken together, these findings highlight a novel oncogenic function of circRNA in glioblastoma tumorigenesis. Significance: Microarray profiling of circRNA/lncRNA/mRNA in glioblastoma identifies circNT5E as an oncogenic circular RNA and a sponge of miR-422a. Cancer Res; 78(17); 4812–25. ©2018 AACR.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
