Abstract

The invention discloses a biomarker for nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis diagnosis and/or prognosis evaluation. In the present invention, we demonstrated that circCIT is highly expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines compared to normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell NP 69. The detection result of a clinical tissue sample shows that the expression of circCIT is up-regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and is positively correlated with stages. In vitro cell function experiments show that circCIT promotes proliferation, migration and invasion of cells and promotes mesenchymal transformation of cell epithelium. Therefore, the circCIT can be used as a biomarker to be applied to preparation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis diagnosis and/or prognosis evaluation reagents, kits or detection devices; can also be used as a target point to be applied to screening medicines for treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma or nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis. The reagent for inhibiting the circCIT expression can be used for preparing medicaments for nasopharyngeal carcinoma or nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis.

Description

Biomarker for nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis diagnosis and/or prognosis evaluation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a biomarker for nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis diagnosis and/or prognosis evaluation.
Background
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common head and neck malignancy, with the onset characterized by geographical accumulation, usually occurring in the south of china, especially the guangdong and guangxi. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is characterized by high malignancy, high metastasis rate, early metastasis and early lack of distinct specific symptoms. Most nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients are not diagnosed until the middle and late stages, which significantly reduces the 5-year survival rate. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are effective ways to improve the quality of life of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The key factors affecting prognosis in relapse and metastasis, and at present, no specific marker can predict the prognosis of NPC patients. Therefore, development of a marker having high sensitivity and specificity is urgently required.
The etiology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is not clear, and the medical field considers that the nasopharyngeal carcinoma is closely related to the following factors: genetic factors, dietary factors, environmental factors and EB virus infection. Because the nasopharynx position is hidden, the examination is not easy, and simultaneously, the early symptoms of the nasopharyngeal carcinoma are relatively complex and lack of characteristics, so the nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be easily ignored by people, and the diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Therefore, the early screening and diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, especially the body fluid examination with low traumatic property and convenient material acquisition, has important significance for treating and improving the survival rate of patients.
Unlike conventional linear RNA, circular RNA (circrna) exists in vivo in a closed loop structure, is stably expressed in various body fluids, and exhibits high tissue and cell specificity. In recent years, with the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics, circRNA has been demonstrated to be highly expressed in various diseases, especially tumors. It has been reported that circRNA specifically expressed in tissues plays an important role in the development and progression of tumors such as gastric cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer. These findings suggest that circRNA may be a novel diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for cancer, and have important clinical value for early diagnosis of tumors, improvement of disease conditions and quality of life of patients. Although circRNA has been extensively studied in tumors, NPC is rarely studied. Current research is focused on radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Therefore, the influence of circRNA expression on nasopharyngeal carcinoma and pathogenesis thereof is further deeply researched, and a preliminary clinical basis is provided for treatment of the nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a biomarker for nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis diagnosis and/or prognosis evaluation and application thereof. In the invention, the circCIT is highly expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and cells, and can promote the migration, invasion and tumor metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
the application of the circCIT as a biomarker in the preparation of reagents, kits or detection devices for nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis diagnosis and/or prognosis evaluation.
The application of the product for detecting the circCIT molecule in nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis diagnosis and/or prognosis evaluation.
A nasopharyngeal carcinoma detection kit is characterized by comprising a detection object specifically bound with circCIT.
The detector preferably comprises at least one of a primer pair and a probe which specifically binds to circCIT.
The sequences of the primer pairs are as follows: 5'-AAGGTCTTTGCTGCCATCCT-3' (SEQ ID NO.1) and 5'-CGGGCTTGTGCTTCGAGATA-3' (SEQ ID NO. 2).
The circCIT is used as a target point to be applied to screening of drugs for treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma or nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis.
The circCIT is used as a treatment target to be applied to the preparation of the medicine for treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma or nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis.
The application of the reagent for inhibiting or interfering the circCIT expression in the preparation of the medicine for treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma or nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
circular RNA (circRNA), a subset of non-coding RNA, plays an important role in regulating gene expression in eukaryotes. However, their role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma is poorly understood. In the present invention, we demonstrated that circCIT is highly expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines compared to normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell NP 69. The detection result of a clinical tissue sample shows that the expression of circCIT is up-regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and is positively correlated with stages. In vitro cell function experiments show that circCIT promotes proliferation, migration and invasion of cells, and promotes Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) of cells. Therefore, the circCIT can be used as a biomarker to be applied to preparation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis diagnosis and/or prognosis evaluation reagents, kits or detection devices; can also be used as a target point to be applied to screening medicines for treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma or nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis. The reagent for inhibiting or interfering the circCIT expression can be used for preparing the medicine for nasopharyngeal carcinoma or nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis.

Example 1
Expression of circCIT in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and cells
Compared with normal tissues, the expression level of the circCIT in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues is up-regulated (figure 1, P <0.05), and the expression of the circCIT is positively correlated with the clinical pathological stage of the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (figure 6). Similarly, circCIT expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines was significantly lower than that of immortalized nasopharyngeal carcinoma epithelial cell NP-69 (FIG. 5). Sanger sequencing further confirmed head-to-tail splicing (fig. 2). However, head-to-tail splicing may be not only trans-splicing, but also the result of genomic rearrangements. To distinguish these two possibilities, forward primers for circCITmRNA were designed with the following sequences: forward Primer, 5' CCGATTGGGACCCCCAGATTA-. cDNA and gDNA were extracted from 5-8F cells and detected by nucleic acid electrophoresis. The results showed that circCIT was detected only in cDNA and not in gDNA (fig. 3). Further RNase R digestion experiments were used to confirm the stability of circCIT. As expected, the linear transcript of the host gene CIT was degraded by RNase R, whereas the circular transcript of circCIT was resistant to RNase R treatment (FIG. 4). These data confirm the presence of circCIT and that circCIT may play a tumor promoting role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
In vitro regulation of proliferation, invasion and migration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by circCIT
In order to explore the in vitro biological function of circCIT, 5-8F, 6-10B cell lines with higher expression level are selected for subsequent functional experiments. siRNA can stably knock down the expression of circCIT in most cells, we designed 2 si, sequences as follows: Si-circCIT # 1: ACAACATTCGTAACTGTTTCA are provided. Si-circCIT # 2: CAACATTCGTAACTGTTTCAT are provided. Knock down efficiency is shown in fig. 7. Knocking down circCIT expression compared to control group significantly inhibited nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell proliferation, invasion and migration in vitro (fig. 8-11). Further analyzing Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) related protein highly related to tumor metastasis. Western blot analysis showed that the expression level of E-cadherin was significantly increased in circCIT cells with down-regulated expression, while the expression level of N-cadherin, vimentin was significantly decreased (FIG. 12).
In the present invention, we detected that circCIT is significantly upregulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and several nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines, suggesting that circCIT is likely to be a potential cancer-related gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Further we explored the function of circCIT in vitro. The fact that the knockdown of the circCIT inhibits the growth, invasion and migration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo and the process migration of EMT shows that the circCIT has the effect of promoting the development of cancers in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
