Abstract

Circular RNAs contribute to the progression of glioma. However, the biological role and underlying mechanism of circ_0082375 in glioma remain unclear. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot assay were used to evaluate the expression levels of circ_0082375, microRNA-485-5p, and Wnt family member 7B (Wnt7B). The overall survival of glioma patients was estimated by the Kaplan–Meier curve. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration were detected by cell counting kit-8, 5-ethynyl-2 -deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, flow cytometry, and transwell assays, respectively. Glucose level and lactate production were determined using glucose and lactate assay kits. In vitro angiogenesis assay was used to evaluate the angiogenesis of glioma cells. The interaction between microRNA (miR)-485-5p and circ_0082375 or Wnt family member 7B (Wnt7B) was verified by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. A xenograft model was used to verify the function of circ_0082375 in vivo. circ_0082375 was upregulated in glioma tissues, and it was closely related to the prognosis of glioma patients. circ_0082375 knockdown suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, glycolysis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and promoted cell apoptosis in glioma cells. irc_0082375 was a sponge of miR-485-5p, which directly targeted Wnt7B. Knockdown of circ_0082375 inhibited the malignancy, angiogenesis, and glycolysis of glioma cells in vitro by sponging miR-485-5p. Besides, circ_0082375 knockdown hampered the growth of glioma growth by regulating the miR-485-5p/Wnt7B axis in vivo. Altogether, circ_0082375 regulated miR-485-5p/Wnt7B axis to promote the malignancy, angiogenesis, and glycolysis of glioma cells, thereby contributing to the progression of glioma.

Radiotherapy plus Concomitant and Adjuvant Temozolomide for Glioblastoma

Roger Stupp, Warren P Mason, Martin van den Bent … (2005)

Glioblastoma, the most common primary brain tumor in adults, is usually rapidly fatal. The current standard of care for newly diagnosed glioblastoma is surgical resection to the extent feasible, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. In this trial we compared radiotherapy alone with radiotherapy plus temozolomide, given concomitantly with and after radiotherapy, in terms of efficacy and safety. Patients with newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed glioblastoma were randomly assigned to receive radiotherapy alone (fractionated focal irradiation in daily fractions of 2 Gy given 5 days per week for 6 weeks, for a total of 60 Gy) or radiotherapy plus continuous daily temozolomide (75 mg per square meter of body-surface area per day, 7 days per week from the first to the last day of radiotherapy), followed by six cycles of adjuvant temozolomide (150 to 200 mg per square meter for 5 days during each 28-day cycle). The primary end point was overall survival. A total of 573 patients from 85 centers underwent randomization. The median age was 56 years, and 84 percent of patients had undergone debulking surgery. At a median follow-up of 28 months, the median survival was 14.6 months with radiotherapy plus temozolomide and 12.1 months with radiotherapy alone. The unadjusted hazard ratio for death in the radiotherapy-plus-temozolomide group was 0.63 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.52 to 0.75; P<0.001 by the log-rank test). The two-year survival rate was 26.5 percent with radiotherapy plus temozolomide and 10.4 percent with radiotherapy alone. Concomitant treatment with radiotherapy plus temozolomide resulted in grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxic effects in 7 percent of patients. The addition of temozolomide to radiotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma resulted in a clinically meaningful and statistically significant survival benefit with minimal additional toxicity.

Understanding the Warburg effect: the metabolic requirements of cell proliferation.

Craig B Thompson, Matthew Vander Heiden, Lewis Cantley (2009)

In contrast to normal differentiated cells, which rely primarily on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to generate the energy needed for cellular processes, most cancer cells instead rely on aerobic glycolysis, a phenomenon termed "the Warburg effect." Aerobic glycolysis is an inefficient way to generate adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), however, and the advantage it confers to cancer cells has been unclear. Here we propose that the metabolism of cancer cells, and indeed all proliferating cells, is adapted to facilitate the uptake and incorporation of nutrients into the biomass (e.g., nucleotides, amino acids, and lipids) needed to produce a new cell. Supporting this idea are recent studies showing that (i) several signaling pathways implicated in cell proliferation also regulate metabolic pathways that incorporate nutrients into biomass; and that (ii) certain cancer-associated mutations enable cancer cells to acquire and metabolize nutrients in a manner conducive to proliferation rather than efficient ATP production. A better understanding of the mechanistic links between cellular metabolism and growth control may ultimately lead to better treatments for human cancer.

Circular RNAs are abundant, conserved, and associated with ALU repeats.

W. R. Jeck, J A Sorrentino, K. Wang … (2013)

Circular RNAs composed of exonic sequence have been described in a small number of genes. Thought to result from splicing errors, circular RNA species possess no known function. To delineate the universe of endogenous circular RNAs, we performed high-throughput sequencing (RNA-seq) of libraries prepared from ribosome-depleted RNA with or without digestion with the RNA exonuclease, RNase R. We identified >25,000 distinct RNA species in human fibroblasts that contained non-colinear exons (a "backsplice") and were reproducibly enriched by exonuclease degradation of linear RNA. These RNAs were validated as circular RNA (ecircRNA), rather than linear RNA, and were more stable than associated linear mRNAs in vivo. In some cases, the abundance of circular molecules exceeded that of associated linear mRNA by >10-fold. By conservative estimate, we identified ecircRNAs from 14.4% of actively transcribed genes in human fibroblasts. Application of this method to murine testis RNA identified 69 ecircRNAs in precisely orthologous locations to human circular RNAs. Of note, paralogous kinases HIPK2 and HIPK3 produce abundant ecircRNA from their second exon in both humans and mice. Though HIPK3 circular RNAs contain an AUG translation start, it and other ecircRNAs were not bound to ribosomes. Circular RNAs could be degraded by siRNAs and, therefore, may act as competing endogenous RNAs. Bioinformatic analysis revealed shared features of circularized exons, including long bordering introns that contained complementary ALU repeats. These data show that ecircRNAs are abundant, stable, conserved and nonrandom products of RNA splicing that could be involved in control of gene expression.
