Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. Circular RNA (circRNA) has been shown to be involved in the progression of GC. However, the function of circ_0008035 in GC has not been studied. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of circ_0008035, microRNA-1256 (miR-1256) and carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6). 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, flow cytometry, and transwell assay were used to detect cell function. Western blot examined the protein levels of Ki67, Bax, MMP-2, and CEACAM6. The relationship between miR-1256 and circ_0008035 or CEACAM6 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assays and RNA pull down. The xenotransplantation model was established in BALB/c nude mice to study the role of circ_0008035 in vivo. Circ_0008035 and CEACAM6 were significantly high-expressed in GC tissues and cells. Silencing of circ_0008035 reduced GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while enhancing apoptosis. MiR-1256 was a target of circ_0008035. The inhibition effect of circ_0008035 knockdown on the malignant behavior of GC cells could be reversed by miR-1256 inhibitor. In addition, CEACAM6 was a target of miR-1256. Overexpression of CEACAM6 partially restored the inhibitory effect of miR-1256 on cell progression. Animal experiments confirmed the anti-tumor effect of circ_0008035 knockdown in vivo. Collectively, circ_0008035 regulated the expression of CEACAM6 by sponging miR-1256, thereby promoting the development of GC. Our data provided a novel targeted therapy for GC.
