ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Although systemic therapies for melanoma have been improved, the 5-year survival rate of this aggressive cancer remains poor. It has been shown that hsa_circ_0062270 was upregulated in patients with melanoma. However, the relevant mechanism of hsa_circ_0062270 in the progression of melanoma remains unclear.

METHODS: The CCK-8, EdU staining, flow cytometry, and transwell assays were used to determine the viability, proliferation, apoptosis and invasion in melanoma cells. An in vivo animal study was performed finally.

RESULTS: The level of hsa_circ_0062270 was significantly upregulated in melanoma cells. In addition, hsa_circ_0062270 knockdown markedly inhibited the viability, proliferation, invasion and promoted the apoptosis of melanoma cells. Cell division cycle protein 45 (CDC45) is the host gene of hsa_circ_0062270 , and downregulation of hsa_circ_0062270 notably decreased the expression of CDC45 in melanoma cells. Rescue assays confirmed that hsa_circ_0062270 regulated the growth of melanoma cells through CDC45. Moreover, RIP analysis showed that hsa_circ_0062270 interacted with RNA-binding protein (RBP) EIF4A3. Furthermore, in vivo study indicated that knockdown of hsa_circ_0062270 inhibited the melanoma tumor growth in vivo.

CONCLUSIONS: Downregulation of hsa_circ_0062270 can inhibit the progression of melanoma through downregulation of CDC45. Our findings provide biological mechanisms for the use of hsa_circ_0062270 as a biomarker for melanoma and potential therapeutic target.
