Abstract
Previous studies have proved circFN1 is highly expressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and AML cell lines. This study aims to investigate the impact of circFN1 on AML and its mechanism. Via real-time quantitative PCR to detect circFN1, miR-1294, ARHGEF10L expressions in clinical plasma samples and AML cell lines, AML cells were cultured in vitro and transfected with si-circFN1, pcDNA3.1-circFN1, and si-ARHGEF10L, respectively, or co-transfected pcDNA3.1-circFN1 + miR-1294 mimic and pcDNA3.1-circFN1 + si-ARHGEF10L. Using dual luciferase reporter experiment to detect the relationship between circFN1 and miR-1294, as well as miR-1294 and ARHGEF10L. CCK-8 was used to detect cell proliferation, Transwell to cell invasion, TUNEL staining and flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis, RT-qPCR to circFN1 RNA, miR-1294, and ARHGEF10L expression levels in HL-60 cells, and western blot to ARHGEF10L protein expression level in HL-60 cells. We found highly expressed circFN1 and ARHGEF10L, as well as low-expressed miR-1294 in AML patients and AML cell lines. In contrast to si-NC group, si-circFN1 group could signally inhibit HL-60 cell proliferation and migration, but promote cell apoptosis; compared with mimic NC group, miR-1294 mimic group could visually inhibit HL-60 cell proliferation and migration, but promote cell apoptosis. miR-1294 was the target of circFN1, and ARHGEF10L was the target of miR-1294. Over-expressing miR-1294 or silencing ARHGEF10L could signally inhibit circFN1 promoting HL-60 cell proliferation and migration and repressing cell apoptosis. circFN1 promotes proliferation and invasion of AML cell and represses cell apoptosis via regulating miR-1294/ARHGEF10L axis, which provides new insight for molecular targeted-treatment for AML.
