Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To clarify the mechanism of icariin (ICA) promoting gastric cancer (GC) cell apoptosis by regulating circ_0003159/eIF4A3/bcl-2 axis.

METHODS: The mRNA or protein levels were detected by qRT-PCR or the western blot. The interaction between eIF4A3 protein and circ_0003159 or eIF4A3 protein and bcl-2 mRNA were validated by RNA pull down assays and the RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. The cell viability was measured by the cell counting kit (CCK)-8 kit. The cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry.

RESULTS: Compared with the group Vector, the ratio of cytoplasmic eIF4A3/nuclear eIF4A3 in the cell with circ_0003159 overexpression was significantly higher. RIP and RNA pull down results proved the interaction between eIF4A3 and circ_0003159. The RIP assay further validated the interaction between eIF4A3 and bcl-2. By gain or loss of the functional experiment, hsa_circ_0003159 was proved to recruit eIF4A3 to inhibit bcl-2 expression. Hsa_circ_0003159 regulates eIF4A3/bcl-2 to reduce GC cell viability and increase apoptosis Furthermore, ICA regulates hsa_circ_0003159/eIF4A3/bcl-2 axis to inhibit GC cell activity and induce GC cell apoptosis.

CONCLUSION: These data showed that ICA could effectively reduce the GC cell activity and induce GC cell apoptosis via hsa_circ_0003159/eIF4A3/bcl-2 axis, which provides new theoretical evidence for the treatment of GC by ICA.
