Abstract

Various circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been shown to exert vital functions in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). However, their roles in TSCC progression remain to be elucidated. This research aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of hsa_circ_0000003 (circ_0000003) in TSCC progression. Here, we found that circ_0000003 expression was upregulated in TSCC tissues and cell lines, and high circ_0000003 expression was correlated with advanced TNM stage, increased tumor size and poor patient survival. Circ_0000003 was revealed to facilitate cell proliferation, migration and invasion of TSCC cells. Mechanistically, we found that circ_0000003 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) that sponged miR‑330‑3p, thereby elevating glutaminase (GLS) expression. Accordingly, cell invasion, migration, glutamine consumption, α‑ketoglutarate (α‑KG) production and ATP production were significantly decreased by circ_0000003 knockdown in TSCC cells, and these effects were reversed by miR‑330‑3p inhibition. In conclusion, circ_0000003 facilitates TSCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and glutamine catabolism by regulating the miR‑330‑3p/GLS pathway.
