Abstract

Recent studies have demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important role in the development of gastric cancer (GC). The present study aimed to investigate the role of hsa_circ_0076305 (circPGC) in GC. The levels of circRNAs and mRNAs in AGS cell lines were detected via reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR, and western blotting was performed to detect protein expression levels. Functional studies were explored by CCK8 assay and cell migration assay. Functional studies have indicated that circPGC orchestrates two cellular processes; it inhibits proliferation, and promotes migration and invasion in the GC AGS cell line, a phenomenon called ‘migration‑proliferation dichotomy’, as well as epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition in AGS cells. In addition, circPGC degrades the extracellular matrix and basement membrane through matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)9 and MMP14, providing a microenvironment that facilitates cell migration. The results also demonstrated that circPGC expression is lower in clinical patients with later stages of GC, which is associated with poor prognosis. Taken together, these results suggest that circPGC exhibits migration‑proliferation dichotomy during GC development, invasion and migration.
