Abstract Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is a common genitourinary malignancy worldwide. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) participate in cancer development, including BC; thus, the roles of circRNAs in this process have attracted significant attention. Methods: In this study, high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze circRNA expression profiles in BC tissues. We performed RT-qPCR to determine hsa_circ_0001944 expression in BC tissues. We used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect hsa_circ_0001944 expression and hsa_circ_0001944 subcellular localization in BC tissues. hsa_circ_0001944 expression in BC cells was selectively regulated. We employed CCK8, transwell, and wound healing assays to monitor cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, respectively. We employed the dualluciferase reporter and RNA pulldown assays to verify the relationships among hsa_circ_0001944, miR-548, and PROK2. We examined the effects of hsa_circ_0001944 on BC cell metastasis and proliferation in vivo using a subcutaneous xenograft model and an intravenous tail injection model in nude mice.
