Objective:To investigate the effect of circ_0000592/miR-515-5p axis on the proliferation,migration and invasion of breast cancer cells.Methods:The cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of 57 breast cancer patients were collected,and the expressions of circ_0000592 and miR-515-5p in the tissues were detected by qRT-PCR.Human breast epithelial cells HMEpiC and breast cancer MCF-7 cells were cultured in vitro.qRT-PCR method was used to detect the expression of circ_0000592 and miR-515-5p in the cells.The dual luciferase reporter gene experiment verified the regulatory relationship between circ_0000592 and miR-515-5p.MCF-7 cells were transfected with circ_0000592 small interfering RNA or miR-515-5p inhibitor,and then CCK-8 assay,clone formation test and Transwell assay were used to detect the cell viability,clone number,migration number and invasion number.The protein expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin in cells were detected by Western blotting.Results:In breast cancer tissues,the expression of circ_0000592 was increased (P<0.05),and the expression of miR-515-5p was decreased (P<0.05).The expression of circ_0000592 in breast cancer MCF-7 cells was higher than that in HMEpiC cells (P<0.05),but the expression of miR-515-5p was lower than that in HMEpiC cells (P<0.05).Circ_0000592 could negatively regulate miR-515-5p in MCF-7 cells.After down-regulating circ_0000592,the survival rate,clone number,migration number,invasion number of MCF-7 cells and the expression of N-cadherin protein in the cells were all decreased (P<0.01),but the expression of E-cadherin protein was increased (P<0.01).Down-regulation of miR-515-5p partially restored the effectd of down-regulation of circ_0000592 on proliferation,migration and invasion of MCF-7 cells.Conclusions:The expression of circ_0000592 is elevated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines,which promotes breast cancer cell proliferation,migration and invasion through the negative regulation of miR-515-5p.
