Abstract

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a novel class of endogenous noncoding RNAs, are involved in a variety of diseases, including several types of cancers. We hypothesized that circRNAs are involved in the tumorigenesis and development of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

Methods: To verify our hypothesis, we explored the circRNA expression profiles in 4 pairs of ccRCC tissues and their adjacent non-carcinoma tissues via microarray analysis. Selected circRNAs were further validated by qPCR. Moreover, hsa_circ_0005875 was selected for further study and the potential clinical values of hsa_circ_0005875 were investigated in 60 pairs of ccRCC tissues and adjacent normal controls. In addition, the role of hsa_circ_0005875 in ccRCC progression were performed using colony formation assay, Transwell assay and Martrigel-Transwell assay respectively. Finally, interactions between the circRNAs and miRNAs were predicted using Arraystar's miRNA target prediction software. Luciferase reporter assays were performed to evaluate the interaction between hsa_circ_0005875 and hsa_miR-145-5p.

Results: The microarray data showed 1988 circRNAs were significantly dysregulated circRNAs, including 1033 upregulated and 955 downregulated ones in the ccRCC tissues. Hsa_circ_0005875 was confirmed to be significantly upregulated in the ccRCC tumor tissues and renal carcinoma cells. Further analysis revealed that hsa_circ_0005875 expression was associated with tumor size, pathological TNM stage, histological differentiation, and lymphatic metastasis. Functional experiments demonstrated that overexpression of hsa_circ_0005875 increased proliferation, migration and invasion abilities. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assays suggest that hsa_circ_0005875 may serve as a ceRNA (competing endogenous RNA) of miR-145-5p to relieve the repressive effect of miR-145-5p on target ZEB2.

Conclusions: These data indicate that hsa_circ_0005875 might play a role in promoting tumor growth and metastasis and be a potential biomarker of ccRCC.
