Exosome-mediated transmission of circVMP1 promoted NSCLC progression and DDP resistance by targeting miR-524-5p-METTL3/SOX2 axis.HighlightsCircVMP1 level is up-regulated in DDP-resistant NSCLC cell lines compared with DDP-sensitive cell lines.CircVMP1 absence restrains the malignant behaviors and DDP resistance of A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells.CircVMP1-miR-524-5p/METTL3/SOX2 axis is identified for the first time.CircVMP1 plays an oncogenic role by targeting miR-524-5p-METTL3/SOX2 axis in A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells.Exosomal circVMP1 transmits the malignant properties and DDP resistance to DDP-sensitive cells.
Exosome-transmitted circVMP1 facilitates the progression and cisplatin resistance of non-small cell lung cancer by targeting miR-524-5p-METTL3/SOX2 axis.
