Abstract:
[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effects of circular RNA (circRNA) hsa_circ_0081621 on the malignant biological behaviors of human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma AMC-HN-8 and TU177 cells. Methods: AMC-HN-8 and TU177 cells were routinely cultured. si-NC, si-hsa_circ_0081621, empty vector (vector), and hsa_circ_0081621 overexpression vector (hsa_circ_0081621-OE) were transfected into AMC-HN-8 and TU177 cells, namely si-NC, si-hsa_circ_0081621, vector, and hsa_circ_0081621-OE groups, respectively. The effects of knockdown or overexpression of hsa_circ_0081621 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of AMC-HN-8 and TU177 cells were detected by CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, scratch wound healing assay, and Transwell chamber assay. Results: Successful knockdown or overexpression of hsa_circ_0081621 was achieved in AMC-HN-8 and TU177 cells. hsa_circ_0081621 knockdown significantly inhibited while hsa_circ_0081621 overexpression significantly promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of AMC-HN-8 and TU177 cells (P < 0.01 or P < 0.001 or P < 0.0001). Conclusion: hsa_circ_0081621 promotes the malignant biological behaviors of human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma AMC-HN-8 and TU177 cells.
