Image2_Quercetin Inhibits Tumorigenesis of Colorectal Cancer Through Downregulation of hsa_circ_0006990.JPEG
Quercetin can significantly inhibit the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, its specific mechanism remains largely unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore the correlation among quercetin, tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the progression of CRC and to present a novel strategy for the treatment of CRC. In this study, we revealed that quercetin could suppress the autophagy of M2-TAMs and induced their differentiation into M1-TAMs, by which quercetin significantly reversed the inhibition of M2-TAMS on CRC cell apoptosis and the promotion of M2-TAMS on CRC cell proliferation. Moreover, quercetin could promote the expression of downregulated hsa_circ_0006990 in CRC cells co-cultured with M2-TAMs, and the overexpression of hsa_circ_0006990 significantly reversed the anti-tumour effect of quercetin on CRC. Furthermore, we found quercetin can notably suppress the progression of CRC via mediation of the hsa_circ_0006990/miR-132-3p/MUC13 axis. In conclusion, our results suggested that quercetin inhibits the tumorigenesis of CRC via inhibiting the polarisation of M2 macrophages and downregulating hsa_circ_0006990. Our study provides useful insights for those exploring new methods of treating CRC.
