Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is a common female reproductive malignant tumor. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to participate in tumorigenesis, including EC. Therefore, this study was designed to clarify the role and underlying molecular mechanisms of circ_0002577 in EC. The expression levels of circ_0002577, miR-126-5p, and metastasis associated in colon cancer 1 (MACC1) was determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay. The protein expression was quantified by western blot assay. The proliferation of EC cells was assessed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazol-3-ium bromide (MTT) and colony-forming assays. The migration and invasion of EC cells was measured by transwell assay. The apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry assay. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull-down assays were performed to confirm the relationship between miR-126-5p and circ_0002577 or MACC1. The influence of circ_0002577 inhibition on tumor growth was assessed by xenograft experiment. Circ_0002577 and MACC1 were increased while miR-126-5p was decreased in EC tissues and cells. Loss-of-functional experiment revealed that silencing of circ_0002577 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion while induced apoptosis of EC cells, which were overturned by overexpression of MACC1. The upregulation of miR-126-5p also impeded proliferation and mobility while induced apoptosis of EC cells. MiR-126-5p, negatively regulating MACC1 expression, was a functional target of circ_0002577 in EC cells. Moreover, we also confirmed that suppression of circ_0002577 repressed tumor growth in vivo. The contributions of the circ_0002577 in EC were contributed to its interactions with miR-126-5p and MACC1, which offered a new perspective to the roles of circ_0002577 in EC.
