Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have an important function in human diseases, especially in cancer. circRNA hsa_circ_0014130 (circPIP5K1A), a particularly abundant circRNA, participates in the tumorigenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), although the underlying regulatory mechanism remains unclear. Here, we investigated the circPIP5K1A role in NSCLC. Expression of circPIP5K1A in NSCLC cell lines was explored with quantitative real-time PCR. The effect of circPIP5K1A on NSCLC was evaluated with circPIP5K1A silencing, miR-600 mimic transfection, and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 alpha overexpression, followed by assessment of cell proliferation, metastasis, and tumorigenesis in nude mice. The subcellular localization of circPIP5K1A was evaluated via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and correlation between circPIP5K1A, miR-600, and HIF-1 alpha was assessed by luciferase assay. The data demonstrated that circPIP5K1A expression was increased in NSCLC cells. FISH showed that circPIP5K1A localized to the cytoplasm. The circPIP5K1A knockdown suppressed NSCLC cell metastasis and proliferation by promoting expression of miR-600. Overexpression of miR-600 inhibited HIF-1 alpha-mediated metastasis and proliferation of NSCLC cell by downregulating the endothelial mesenchymal transition-related proteins, Snail and vimentin, and upregulating E-cadherin. In vivo experiments illustrated that circPIP5K1A silence suppressed tumor growth and pulmonary metastasis. The circPIP5K1A may function as an miR-600 sponge to facilitate NSCLC proliferation and metastasis by promoting HIF-1 alpha. A bifluorescein reporter experiment confirmed that miR-600 was the circPIP5K1A target, and miR-600 interacted with the 3 ' untranslated region of HIF-1 alpha. These results show that circPIP5K1A acted as a tumor promoter through a novel circPIP5K1A/miR-600/HIF-1 alpha axis, which provides candidate markers and therapeutic targets for NSCLC.
