PG - 9968499 LID - 10.1155/2021/9968499 [doi] LID - 9968499 AB - Recently, circular RNAs have been shown to function as critical regulators of many human cancers. However, the circRNA mechanism in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remains elusive. Recent investigations using bioinformatics analysis revealed high expression of hsa_circ_0023305 in LSCC tissues compared to normal tissues. Furthermore, we discovered that hsa_circ_0023305 expression level was positively correlated to tumor/node/metastasis (TNM) stage as well as lymph node metastasis in LSCC. Moreover, higher hsa_circ_0023305 levels were correlated to poorer LSCC patient outcomes. Knockdown of hsa_circ_0023305 significantly inhibited LSCC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration abilities. Our team validated that hsa_circ_0023305 functioned as a miR-218-5p sponge from a mechanistic perspective, targeting the melastatin-related transient receptor potential 7 (TRPM7) in LSCC cells. TRPM7 regulates a nonselective cation channel and promotes cancer proliferation and metastasis. Our data demonstrated that miR-218-5p was downregulated in LSCC and that miR-218-5p upregulation repressed LSCC proliferation and invasion both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, we found that hsa_circ_0023305-mediated upregulation of TRPM7 inhibited miR-218-5p and contributed to LSCC migration, proliferation, and invasion. In summary, these data propose a new mechanism by which the hsa_circ_0023305/miR-218-5p/TRPM7 network enhances LSCC progression. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Yi Zhang et al.
