Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapy is an important treatment for RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), but the resistance mechanism remains unclear. Here, differential expression of circRNAs between Cetuximab sensitive and resistant cell lines was analyzed using whole-transcriptome sequencing. We identified that circHIF1A significantly higher in LIM1215-R than LIM1215. When treated with Cetuximab, downregulation level weakened proliferation clonal formation ability LIM1215-R, caused more cells to enter G0-G1 phase, reduced basal respiration, ATP production, maximal as well glycolytic capacity reserve. The response rate prognosis circHIF1A-positive patients were inferior those negative patients. Mechanistically, can upregulate hypoxia-inducible 1 A (HIF1A) by competitively binding miR-361-5p, inducing overexpression enzymes such glucose transporter (GLUT1) lactate dehydrogenase (LDHA). In a xenograft model, inhibition increased sensitivity treatment. conclusion, promote HIF1α-mediated glycometabolism alteration induce CRC.
