The study found that circular RNA spindle and kinetochore associated complex subunit 3 (circ-SKA3) plays a promoting role in medulloblastoma (MB) by regulating the miR-326/ID3 signaling pathway.
Medulloblastoma (MB), the most common malignant childhood brain tumor, is a serious threat to life. Circular RNA (circRNA) is involved in the development of various cancers, including MB. We aimed to explore the role of circRNA spindle and kinetochore associated complex subunit 3 (circ-SKA3) in MB pro-gression. Circ-SKA3 expression was elevated in MB tissues and cells. Depleted expression of circ-SKA3 inhibited MB cell proliferation, migration and invasion and induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, and circ-SKA3 knockdown inhibited MB growth in vivo. Mechanism analyses revealed that circ-SKA3 directly targeted miR-326 that could bind to ID3, and circ-SKA3 decoyed miR-326 to increasing ID3 expression. Rescue experiments showed that miR-326 inhibition reversed the effects of circ-SKA3 knockdown, and ID3 overexpression recovered MB cell proliferation, migration and invasion blocked by miR-326 restora-tion. In conclusion, circ-SKA3 functioned as an oncogene to promote the development of MB by increas-ing ID3 expression via decoying miR-326, hinting that circ-SKA3 might be a therapeutic target of MB.
