Abstract

Numerous studies have identified that circular RNAs (circRNAs) functioned as important regulators in tumor initiation, carcinogenesis, drug or radiation resistance. This study aims to reveal the function of circ_0008344 on radiosensitivity in glioma. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was implemented for detecting the circ_0008344 and microRNA-433-3p (miR-433-3p) levels. Cell survival intensity and apoptosis were analyzed through colony formation assay and flow cytometry respectively. The protein levels were examined via Western blot. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was exploited for the analysis of target combination. Xenograft models were established in mice for circ_0008344 research in vivo. Our data showed that circ_0008344 level was signally increased in radioresistant glioma tissues and its down-regulation facilitated the susceptibility of glioma cells to radiation. Additionally, we found that circ_0008344 could interact with miR-433-3p and regulated radiosensitivity of glioma cells via sponging miR-433-3p. Ring finger protein 2 (RNF2) was proved to be a target of miR-433-3p and it was regulated by circ_0008344/miR-433-3p axis. The promotion of circ_0008344 knockdown on radiosensitivity was counteracted by RNF2 overexpression in glioma cells. Further experiment in vivo indicated that circ_0008344 down-regulation inhibited glioma growth and acted on miR-433-3p/RNF2 axis to enhance the radiosensitivity in glioma. These evidences manifested that knockdown of circ_0008344 exerted the radiosensitivity-promoting effect on glioma via the miR-433-3p-mediated RNF2 down-regulation, identifying circ_0008344 as a novel diagnostic biomarker of radioresistance and therapeutic target in glioma radiotherapy.
