AbstractIt has been discovered that some circular RNAs can serve as excellent therapeutic targets for breast cancer (BC). However, the biological role that circ ATAD3B plays in BC is not yet completely understood. As a result, the purpose of this work was to evaluate the function of circ_ATAD3B in the development of BC. Three different GEO datasets were used to compile the expression profiles of circRNAs related to BC (GSE101124, GSE165884, and GSE182471). CCK-8 and the production of clones, in addition to RT-PCR and western blot assays, were utilized in this study to evaluate the regulation of these three biological molecules in the process of BC carcinogenesis.circ_ATAD3B was the only potential BC-related circRNA that was significantly reduced in BC tumor tissues, and it functioned as a miR-570-3p sponge to suppress cell survival and proliferation, as stated by the aforementioned two algorithms. The expression of MX2 was boosted when circ_ATAD3B was used to sponge miR-570-3p. The inhibitory effect that circ_ATAD3B has on the malignant phenotype of BC cells was overcome by the expression of miR-570-3p through up-regulation and MX2 through down-regulation. The tumor suppressor circ_ATAD3B prevents cancer progression by regulating the miR-570-3p/MX2 pathway. Circ_ATAD3B may be a candidate for targeted therapy of breast cancer.Copyright © 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
