Abstract

AbstractWarburg effect plays a crucial role in bladder cancer (Bca) development. However, the mechanism by which glycolysis is involved in Bca remains poorly understood. CircRNAs commonly play a regulatory role in tumor progression. Our study discovered and identified a novel circRNA, hsa_circ_0000235 (circ235), and investigated its role in the glycolytic process, which further results in the progression of Bca. We applied qRT-PCR to assess its clinicopathological relevance and evaluated its proliferation, migration, and glycolytic capacity. We investigated its mechanism using RNA immunoprecipitation, dual-luciferase reporters, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The findings demonstrated that circ235 was dramatically increased in Bca tissues and was related to a worse prognosis. In vitro studies revealed that circ235 accelerated the rate of extracellular acidification and promoted glucose uptake and lactate manufacture in Bca cells. Additionally, it strengthened the proliferative and migratory capacities. Experiments on animals revealed that downregulating circ235 dramatically reduced carcinogenesis and tumor growth. Circ235 activates monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) by sponging miR-330-5p, which promotes glycolysis and tumor growth. In conclusion, these findings suggest that circ235 may be a viable molecular marker and therapeutic target for Bca.
