Background
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor-based therapeutic drug tolerance is a major obstacle to glioblastoma (GBM) treatment. Meanwhile, non-coding RNAs have been reported to be involved in the regulation of HDAC inhibitor (SAHA) tolerance in some human tumors. However, the relationship between circular RNAs (circRNAs) and SAHA tolerance is still unknown. Herein, we explored the role and mechanism of circ_0000741 on SAHA tolerance in GBM.
Methods
Circ_0000741, microRNA-379-5p (miR-379-5p), and tripartite motif-containing 14 (TRIM14) level were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). (4-5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EdU), Colony formation, flow cytometry, and transwell assays were used to detect SAHA tolerance, proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion in SAHA-tolerant GBM cells. Western blot analysis of protein levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and TRIM14. After Starbase2.0 analysis, the binding between miR-379-5p and circ_0000741 or TRIM14 was proved using a dual-luciferase reporter. The role of circ_0000741 on drug tolerance was assessed using a xenograft tumor model in vivo.
Results
Circ_0000741 and TRIM14 were upregulated, and miR-379-5p was reduced in SAHA-tolerant GBM cells. Furthermore, circ_0000741 absence reduced SAHA tolerance, suppressed proliferation, invasion, and induced apoptosis in SAHA-tolerant GBM cells. Mechanistically, circ_0000741 might affect TRIM14 content via sponging miR-379-5p. Besides, circ_0000741 silencing enhanced the drug sensitivity of GBM in vivo.
Conclusion
Circ_0000741 might accelerate SAHA tolerance by regulating the miR-379-5p/TRIM14 axis, which provided a promising therapeutic target for GBM treatment.
