Investigation of the Mechanism of hsa_circ_000 1429 Adsorbed miR-205 to Regulate KDM4A and Promote Breast Cancer Metastasis

Abstract

This study investigates the mechanism of hsa_circ_0001429 adsorbing miR-205 and regulating the expression of KDM4A to promote breast cancer metastasis and its mechanism. Mammary epithelial cells MCF-10A and human breast cancer cell lines BT474, SKBr-3, ZR-75-30, and MCF7 are cultured, and the mRNA expressions of hsa_circ_000 1429, miR-205, and KDM4A are detected by qRT-PCR; hsa_circ_000 1429 binds to miR-205, and miR-205 targets KDM4A. RIP verifies that hsa_circ_000 1429 binds to AGO2; RNA pull down results prove that hsa_circ_000 1429 binds to miR-205; MTT detects cell proliferation; transwell assay detects cell migration and invasion ability; flow cytometry detects cell apoptosis rate. The expressions of KDM4A, migration, and invasion-related factors, N-cadherin and MMP-9 protein, are detected by blot. hsa_circ_000 1429 may upregulate the KDM4A gene by adsorbing miR-205. Therefore, it will promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells and inhibit their apoptosis.
