Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a gastrointestinal malignancy with high incidence. This study aimed to reveal the complete circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network in ESCC and validate its function mechanism. Method: Expression of OTU Domain-Containing Ubiquitin Aldehyde-Binding Protein 2 (OTUB2) was analyzed by bioinformatics find binding sites between circRNA6448-14 miR-455-3p, as well miR-455-3p OTUB2. The relationships were verified RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP) dual-luciferase assay. expressions circRNA6448-14, OTUB2 detected quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). MTT assay measured viability, spheroid formation assessed ability stem sphere formation. Western blot (WB) determined expression marker proteins surface rate-limiting enzyme glycolysis. Seahorse XFe96 extracellular flux analyzer rate acidification cellular oxygen consumption. Corresponding kits glucose consumption, lactate production, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation. Results: In ESCC, highly expressed contrast miR-455-3p. Knocking down could prevent glycolysis stemness cells. Additionally, enhanced sponging Overexpression or silencing reversed inhibitory effect knockdown on stemness. Conclusion: research demonstrated that circRNA6448-14/miR-455-3p/OTUB2 axis induced Our revealed novel which may serve potential therapeutic target for ESCC.
