Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) exert a critical effect on tumorigenesis and development. Our research aimed to clarify the function and underlying mechanism of circ_0060937 inNSCLC. The concentrations of circ_0060937, miR-195-5p and high-mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) were monitored via qRT-PCR and western blot assays. Additionally, cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were assessed using CCK-8, colony formation, flow cytometry and transwell assays. Glycolysis was evaluated via detecting glucose uptake and lactate product. The association between miR-195-5p and circ_0060937/HMGB3 were validated using dual-luciferase reporter, RNA pull-down and RIP assays. Furthermore,in vivo experiment was performed to analyze tumorigenesis.Circ_0060937 and HMGB3 levels were elevated, whereas miR-195-5p level was dropped in NSCLC. Circ_0060937 down-regulation restrainedNSCLC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and glycolysis, and triggered apoptosis. Knockdown of circ_0060937 restrained NSCLC development via absorbing miR-195-5p. Circ_0060937 silencing inhibited NSCLC progression by mediating HMGB3. Besides, circ_0060937 depletion suppressed tumor growth in vivo.Circ_0060937 knockdown hindered NSCLC development and glycolysis via regulating miR-195-5p/HMGB3 pathway.
