Abstract

We aimed to elucidate the diagnostic and prognostic values of Circ_0060060 in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and its regulatory effect on FUT8. Relative levels of Circ_0060060 and FUT8 were examined in NSCLC and adjacent tissues. Clinical information of recruited NSCLC patients was collected for assessing the prognostic value of Circ_0060060. Regulatory effects of Circ_0060060 and FUT8 on in vitro proliferative and migratory abilities of NSCLC were examined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell assay, respectively. Finally, the interaction between Circ_0060060 and FUT8 was determined via dual-luciferase reporter assay and Pearson correlation test. Circ_0060060 and FUT8 were upregulated in NSCLC tissues. High level of Circ_0060060 or FUT8 predicted higher incidences of distant metastasis and worse overall survival in NSCLC patients. in vitro evidences have shown the roles of Circ_0060060 and FUT8 in stimulating proliferative and migratory abilities of PC-9 and SPC-A1 cells. Circ_0060060 directly targeted FUT8 and positively regulated its level. Circ_0060060 and FUT8 are effective diagnostic markers of NSCLC. Circ_0060060 stimulates proliferative and migratory abilities of NSCLC by regulating FUT8.
