Abstract

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common skin malignant tumor with 25–50% of 5-year survival. There exist urgent needs for the identification of novel biomarkers for the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies of cSCC. The differentially expressed circRNAs in cSCC tissues and non-lesional skin tissues were obtained through analyzing the circular RNAs (circRNAs) microarray dataset GSE74758. The expression pattern of the indicated circRNAs in cSCC tissues was confirmed by qRT-PCR. FISH analysis was used to detect the location of hsa_circ_0008234 in cells. RIP experiment was used to detect the interaction between hsa_circ_0008234 and miR-127-5p. CCK-8 analysis and colony formation assay were used to detect the proliferation of cSCC cells. qRT-PCR and western blot were adopted to detect the expression of ACDY7. Three differential expressed circRNAs were obtained from the microarray data (GSE74758), and hsa_circ_0008234 was confirmed to be highly expressed in cSCC tissues by qRT-PCR. Hsa_circ_0008234 was mainly located in cytoplasm and stable in cSCC cells. RIP experiment revealed that hsa_circ_0008234 directly interacts with miR-127-5p in cSCC cells. Hsa_circ_0008234 increased the cell viability and colony formation of cSCC cells through acting as the sponge of miR-127-5p. MiR-127-5p inhibited the expression of ADCY7 in cSCC cells through binding the 3’UTR of ADCY7. Hsa_circ_0008234 was positively associated with ADCY7 expression in cSCC tissues. Hsa_circ_0008234 facilitates the proliferation of cSCC through targeting miR-127-5p to regulate ADCY7 expression and has the potential to be a novel therapeutic target for cSCC.
