摘要
Recent evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in the pathogenesis and development of endometriosis. Circ_0004712 was found to be differentially expressed in endometriosis. However, the detailed function and mechanism of circ_0004712 in endometriosis are still unclear. Quantitative realtime polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were used for the detection of circ_0004712, miR-488-3p and ROCK1 (Rho Associated Coiled-Coil Containing Protein Kinase 1) levels. In vitro experiments in endometrial endothelial cells were performed by cell counting kit-8, EdU, transwell, wound healing assays, and flow cytometry, respectively. The molecular mechanism of circ_0004712 function was investigated using bioinformatics target predication, dual-luciferase reporter, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. The expression of circ_0004712 was higher in endometriotic endometrial tissues and epithelial cells. Knockdown of circ_0004712 suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT process and induced apoptosis in ectopic endometrial epithelial cells in vitro. Mechanistically, circ_0004712 acted as a ceRNA to sponge miR-488-3p, thus elevating the expression of ROCK1, which was confirmed to be a target of miR-488-3p. Rescue experiments suggested that miR-488-3p inhibition reversed the inhibitory effects of circ_0004712 silencing on cell growth and metastasis. Moreover, miR-488-3p restoration restrained the proliferation and metastasis in ectopic endometrial epithelial cells, which were attenuated by ROCK1 overexpression. Circ_0004712 knockdown suppressed the proliferation and metastasis of ectopic endometrial epithelial cells via miR-488-3p/ROCK1 axis in vitro, suggesting a new insight into the pathogenesis of endometriosis.
