ABSTRACT In the current study, we were interested in exploring the molecular mechanism of circular RNA DLEU2 (circRNA-DLEU2) (hsa_circ_0000488) and microRNA 496 (miR-496), as well as PRKACB, in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell activities. The RNA expression levels of circRNA-DLEU2, hsa-miR-496, and PRKACB were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The proliferation and apoptosis abilities of the cells were determined by CCK8 assay and flow cytometry analysis. Target relationships between circRNA-DLEU2 and miR-496, as well as PRKACB, were analyzed by luciferase reporter assay and probe assay. Immunoblotting assays were used to detect the protein expression level of PRKACB. We also did in vivo experiments to observe tumor formation after overexpression of circRNA-DLEU2. Our data showed that circRNA-DLEU2 was upregulated in AML tissues and cells, which promoted AML cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis. circRNA-DLEU2 promoted AML tumor formation in vivo. miR-496 was inhibited by circRNA-DLEU2 and was downregulated in AML tissues. circRNA-DLEU2 inhibited miR-496 expression and promoted PRKACB expression. miR-496 antagonized the effects of PRKACB on MOLM-13 cell proliferation and apoptosis. Collectively, circRNA-DLEU2 accelerated human AML by suppressing miR-496 and promoting PRKACB expression.

Objective. To study the biological function of circular RNA RNF13 (circRNF13) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its relationship with prognosis. Methods. We constructed stable AML cell lines with downregulated expression of circRNF13, and then, we explored the effect of downregulation of circRNF13 expression on the proliferation, migration, and invasion through qRT-PCR, MTT curve, colony formation, transwell migration and invasion experiment, cell cycle, apoptosis, Caspase 3/7 assay, and other experiments. We also studied the expression of C-myc and Tenascin-C by qRT-PCR to explore the role of circRNF13. Results. When the expression of circRNF13 was downregulated, the proliferation rate of AML cells decreased significantly, the cell cycle was blocked to G1 phase, and apoptosis rate increased significantly. C-myc related to cell proliferation decreased significantly at RNA level. Furthermore, when the expression of circRNF13 was downregulated, the migration and invasion ability of AML cells was significantly reduced, and the expression of Tenascin-C related to migration and invasion also decreased significantly. The luciferase reporter assay system confirmed that miRNA-1224-5p was the direct target of circRNF13. Conclusion. CircRNF13 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of AML cells by regulating the expression of miRNA-1224-5p. This study provides some clues for the diagnosis and treatment of AML.

Abstract Background Although there are many clinical and molecular biomarkers in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the novel and reliable biomarkers are still required to predict the overall survival at the time of disease diagnosis. Methods In order to identify independent predictors, we firstly selected 60 cytogenetically normal AML (CN-AML) patients using the propensity score analysis to balance the confounders and performed circular RNA (circRNA) sequencing. Next, one outcome related to circRNA was selected and validated in the independent cohort of 218 CN-AML patients. We then constructed circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulated network and performed cellular metabolomic analysis to decipher the underlying biological insights. Results We identified 308 circRNAs as independent candidate predictors of overall survival. Hsa_circ_0075451 expression was validated as an independent predictor with a weak predictive ability for overall survival. The regulated network of this circular RNA indicated 84 hub genes that appear to be regulated by 10 miRNAs sponged by hsa_circ_0075451. The regulatory axis of hsa_circ_0075451 -| miR-330-5p/miR-326 -| PRDM16 was validated by the dual luciferase report assay, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and ShRNA interference assay. Conclusions Our data demonstrates that hsa_circ_0075451 expression may independently contribute to the poor prognosis of AML and present a novel therapeutic target.
