Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of tumor molecular biology, and particularly relates to an application of a reagent for detecting cyclic RNAcircRNF13 in tongue squamous cell carcinoma tissues in preparation of a tongue squamous cell carcinoma prognosis preparation.
Background
The results of human genome Project and its subsequent Encyclopedia Project of DNA elements (ENCODE) study show that protein-encoding gene sequences account for only 1-3% of human genome sequences, while most of The transcribable sequences in The human genome are non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Non-coding RNA, although not coding for proteins, has been of great interest in the field of biomedical research due to its widespread involvement in regulation of gene expression in cells. The most studied ncRNA molecules are linear ncRNA molecules, which can be divided into micro RNA (microRNA, miRNA,19-23nt) and long non-coding RNA (long non-coding RNA, lncRNA, >200nt) according to the length of RNA sequence, and play important roles in the occurrence and development of various common human diseases including malignant tumors. Recently, a new class of ncRNA molecules, circular RNA, has become a new frontier and hot spot in the biomedical field due to its unique configuration and important biological functions that are increasingly discovered.
circRNA was once thought to be a wrong product in the post-transcriptional processing of genes. Similar to the processing of linear RNAs such as mRNA and IncRNA, the formation of circRNA is also generated by splicing RNA precursors by a splicing complex, except that in this process, flanking loop sequences are first combined to form a loop, then the splicing complex is spliced, and finally the flanking sequences are cleaved off to form circRNA. In recent years, with the development of sequencing technologies, particularly new-generation sequencing technologies such as RNA-seq, more and more circRNAs are discovered and research has revealed that part of circRNAs play an important role in numerous life activities. In addition, the unique structure of the protein leads the circRNA to be insensitive to nuclease, and the circRNA also has obvious advantages in the development and application of tumor markers, so the protein is very likely to be used as an important molecular marker and a target point for developing new drugs. However, due to the recent rise in the art, most of circRNA has not been discovered or studied yet.
Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma (TSCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the oral cavity, and most of the tongue squamous carcinomas are squamous carcinomas, which mostly occur at the tongue margin, and secondly, at the tongue tip, tongue back and tongue root, which are often ulcerated or infiltrative. Generally, the degree of malignancy is high, the growth is fast, the infiltration is strong, and the tongue movement is limited due to the constant wave and the tongue muscle, so that the speaking, eating and swallowing are difficult. Chemotherapy which is mainly performed by cisplatin drugs in the adjuvant mode of surgical treatment is a clinically main treatment scheme for tongue squamous carcinoma. However, the therapeutic effect of patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma is often not ideal in clinical practice, the 5-year survival rate is only 55-65%, and the reason for this is mainly that the ubiquitous drug resistance of cancer cells (such as circulating tumor cells which have invaded and transferred into blood vessels or lymphatic vessels) remained after surgery, which causes the recurrence and metastasis of tumors and results in treatment failure. Therefore, finding out the resistance mechanism of the tongue squamous carcinoma cells to the chemotherapeutic drugs, screening new drug action targets, and finally improving the survival rate and the survival quality of patients is an important subject worth the research of clinical researchers.
To study the effect and mechanism of circRNAs in resistance of tongue squamous carcinoma cells to cis-platinum drugs, we analyzed the expression of circRNAs in two pairs of tongue squamous carcinoma cell lines (Tca8113 and Cal27) before and after cisplatin treatment using the circRNA gene chip Arraystar Human Circular RNA Microarray V2.0 from Agilent. The expression change of the circRNF13 is the most remarkable, which indicates that the circRNF13 is possibly related to cisplatin resistance of tongue squamous cell carcinoma, and the biological function and action mechanism of the circRNF13 are not reported at all so far.
As the gene chip can only design probes based on the upstream and downstream sequences of the circular splicing sites of the circRNA, the circRNA is captured by the probes specifically, so as to detect the expression abundance of the circRNA in cells or tissues; specifically, for the circRNF13 discovered by the circRNA chip, the technical data provided by the gene chip can find that the probe is 60bp in total, the first segment is the sequence of 30bp at the 3 'end of exon 8 of RNF13 gene, and the second segment is 30bp at the 5' end of exon 2 of RNF13 gene, which suggests that the probe is processed by joining exon 2 and exon 8 of the precursor RNA transcribed from RNF13 gene, but specifically does it not be clear which exons of RNF13 are processed (is it not all the exon 2-8 inclusive?or not that the intron sequence is also included because of the presence of circRNA. Subsequently, we designed primers and succeeded in cloning the full-length sequence of circRNF13 by two nested PCRs, confirming that the circRNF13 is indeed formed by circular splicing of exon 2-8 of RNF13 gene (ring finger protein 13, NM-183381.2) located in the 3q25.1 region of chromosome, with a full-length of 716 bp.
In order to further research the biological function of the circRNF13, the sequence specificity of small interfering RNA (siRNA) aiming at the circRNF13 is designed, so that the expression of the circRNF13 is reduced, and meanwhile, an overexpression vector of the circRNF13 is successfully constructed to overexpress the circRNF13 in tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells. MTT and flow cytometry detection prove that the up-regulation of circRNF13 can obviously inhibit the proliferation of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells, the mechanism is to block the cell cycle and induce apoptosis, and the opposite result is obtained by knocking down the circRNF 13. Furthermore, a tongue squamous carcinoma chemotherapy drug-resistant cell strain is successfully obtained through induction culture, the expression level of circRNF13 in the cell is detected through real-time quantitative PCR, and the expression of the circRNF13 in the drug-resistant cell strain is found to be remarkably down-regulated compared with that of an original cell strain; however, if we over-express circRNF13 in drug-resistant cells, the drug-resistant phenotype of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells can be obviously reversed, and the reduction of the expression of circRNF13 in the original cell strain can obviously improve the tolerance of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells to cis-platinum.
Finally, the expression condition of the circRNF13 is detected in a tongue squamous carcinoma clinical sample by a real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and in-situ hybridization method, and the result shows that the expression of the circRNF13 in the tongue squamous carcinoma is obviously reduced, and the survival time of a patient with low circRNF13 expression is shorter than that of a patient with high circRNF13 expression, so that a detection preparation aiming at the lncRNA can also be used for auxiliary diagnosis and prognosis judgment of the tongue squamous carcinoma.

2. Results
2.1circRNF13 inhibition of growth of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells
After transfecting a circRNF13 eukaryotic expression vector, the expression of the circRNF13 in cells is detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (polymerase chain reaction), and the expression level of the circRNF13 is obviously increased (figure 3); after transfection of small interfering rna (sirna) targeting circRNF13, the expression level of intracellular circRNF13 was significantly down-regulated (fig. 4);
compared with cells transfected with an empty vector, the growth rate of the tongue squamous carcinoma cells Tca8113 and Cal27 overexpressing circRNF13 is remarkably reduced, while the growth rate of the cells is increased after the expression of circRNF13 is knocked down by using siRNA interference sequences (FIG. 5).
2.2circRNF13 inhibits growth of tongue squamous carcinoma cells by arresting the cell cycle, inducing apoptosis.
Flow cytometry analysis shows that the proportion of G2/M cells is remarkably increased and the proportion of S cells is reduced after circRNF13 is transfected in tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells, which shows that the circRNF13 can block the tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells in the G2/M stage, and the cell division is slowed down (figure 6). Meanwhile, the proportion of apoptotic cells was significantly increased after transfection of circRNF13 in tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells (fig. 7), which is also one of the reasons why circRNF13 inhibits growth of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells. The opposite result was obtained by knocking down circRNF 13.
2.3circRNF13 Down-regulated expression in drug-resistant cells of tongue squamous cell carcinoma
We successfully induced cells that were cis-platin resistant to Tca8113 and Cal27 by increasing cis-platin concentration in the culture medium step by step over several months of culture, and detected the expression level of circRNF13 in the cells by real-time quantitative PCR, and found that the expression of circRNF13 in the resistant cell strain was significantly down-regulated compared to the original cell strain (FIG. 8).
2.4 overexpression of circRNF13 reverses the drug-resistant phenotype of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells
After knocking down the expression of circRNF13 (si-circRNF13) in primary tongue squamous carcinoma cells (NC) or over-expressing the circRNF13(OE-circRNF13) in drug-resistant Cells (CR), the cells were treated with the same concentration of cisplatin, and then the apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry, it was found that knocking down the expression of circRNF13 could increase the resistance of the cells to cisplatin (apoptosis reduction), while over-expressing circRNF13 could significantly reduce the drug resistance of the drug-resistant cells (fig. 9).

2.1 expression of circRNF13 in tongue squamous cell carcinoma was significantly elevated compared to normal control tissue
circRNF13 was not expressed or was expressed at a low level in the tongue squamous carcinoma tissues, but was expressed in the paratongue squamous carcinoma normal control tissues (fig. 11), with a clear statistical difference between the two. This is consistent with real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR detection.
