Abstract Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are increasingly recognized as important regulators in cancer including ovarian cancer (OC). This work focuses on the effects of circ_0000745 on the OC development of and molecules involved. Methods Expression of circ_0000745 in collected OC tissues and the acquired OC cell lines was examined by RT-qPCR. The stability of circ_0000745 in cells was examined by RNase R treatment. The target transcripts interacted with circ_0000745 were predicted using bioinformatic systems. Gain- and loss-of-function studies of circ_0000745, microRNA (miR)-3187-3p and erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 4 (ERBB4) were conducted to determine their functions on proliferation, migration, invasion and stem cell property of OC cells. Results Circ_0000745 and ERBB4 were abundantly expressed while miR-3187-3p was poorly expressed in OC tissues and cells. Circ_0000745 sequestered miR-3187-3p and blocked its repressive effect on ERBB4. Downregulation of circ_0000745 reduced proliferation, aggressiveness, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and stemness of SK-OV-3 cells, but this reduction was blocked upon miR-3187-3p inhibition or ERBB4 upregulation. By contrast, artificial induction of circ_0000745 upregulation, miR-3187-3p upregulation and ERBB4 downregulation led to inverse trends in ES-2 cells. ERBB4 promoted the phosphorylation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. An RNA binding protein IGF2BP2 was found to circ_0000745 bind to and promote its expression and stability. Conclusion This study demonstrated that circ_0000745 upregulated by IGF2BP2 promotes aggressiveness and stemness of OC cells through a miR-3187-3p/ERBB4/PI3K/AKT axis. Circ_0000745 may serve as a promising target for OC treatment.

AbstractThe double-stranded multifunctional RNA-binding protein (dsRBP) Staufen was initially discovered in insects as a regulator of mRNA localization. Later, its mammalian orthologs have been described in different organisms, including humans. Two human orthologues of Staufen, named Staufen1 (STAU1) and Staufen2 (STAU2), share some structural and functional similarities. However, given their different spatio-temporal expression patterns, each of these orthologues plays distinct roles in cells. In the current review, we focus on the role of STAU1 in cell functions and cancer development. Since its discovery, STAU1 has mostly been studied for its involvement in various aspects of RNA metabolism. Given the pivotal role of RNA metabolism within cells, recent studies have explored the mechanistic impact of STAU1 in a wide variety of cell functions ranging from cell growth to cell death, as well as in various disease states. In particular, there has been increasing attention on the role of STAU1 in neuromuscular disorders, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Here, we provide an overview of the current knowledge on the role of STAU1 in RNA metabolism and cell functions. We also highlight the link between STAU1-mediated control of cellular functions and cancer development, progression, and treatment. Hence, our review emphasizes the potential of STAU1 as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for cancer diagnosis and treatment, respectively.
