LncRNA THUMPD3-AS1 promotes invasion and EMT in gastric cancer by regulating the miR-1297/BCAT1 pathway.

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays crucial roles in the development of gastric cancer (GC); however, studies of their mechanisms of action are needed to determine their clinical value. The aim of this study is to explore the effects and mechanisms of THUMPD3-AS1 in GC. Elevated levels of THUMPD3-AS1 were observed in GC and demonstrated a significant positive correlation with poor prognosis. Functionally, THUMPD3-AS1 promoted GC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and induced tumor growth in vivo. THUMPD3-AS1 exerts its regulatory function on BCAT1 through competitive binding with miR-1297. Further investigations confirmed that both THUMPD3-AS1 and miR-1297 interact with BCAT1. These findings suggest that THUMPD3-AS1 promotes GC invasion and EMT by regulating the miR-1297/BCAT1 pathway, indicating that THUMPD3-AS1 may serve as a biomarker and therapeutic target for GC.

Project description:A growing number of dysregulated long non‑coding (lnc)RNAs have been verified to serve an essential role in human prostate cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms of lncRNA MNX1 Antisense RNA 1 (MNX1‑AS1) in prostate cancer has not been explored. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the function of MNX1‑AS1 in prostate cancer tumorigenesis and investigate the in‑depth mechanism. The expression of MNX1‑AS1, microRNA (miR)‑2113 and murine double min 2 (MDM2) in prostate cancer tissues and corresponding normal tissues were assessed by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. The protein expression levels of MDM2 were detected by western blotting. LNCaP and PC‑3 cells were transfected with short hairpin (sh)‑MNX1‑AS1, miR‑2113 mimics, miR‑2113 inhibitor and pCDH‑MDM2 vector using Lipofectamine® 3000. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion abilities were assessed by CCK‑8 assay, colony formation and Transwell assay, respectively. Dual luciferase reporter assay was carried out to confirm the putative targets of MNX1‑AS1 and miR‑2113. Tumor formation experiment in nude mice was applied to evaluate the tumor growth effect of MNX1‑AS1 in vivo. The expression of MNX1‑AS1 was significantly upregulated in the prostate cancer tissues and cell lines. MNX1‑AS1 knockdown suppressed the abilities of cell viability and migration and invasion in vitro and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Additionally, luciferase reporter assay revealed that MNX1‑AS1 could target miR‑2113 and negatively interacted with miR‑2113 in prostate cancer cells. miR‑2113 directly targeted to MDM2 and negatively modulated the expression of MDM2. Rescue assays suggested that the viability, migration and invasion of impaired cells triggered by transfection with sh‑MNX1‑AS1 alone could be recovered by co‑transfection with sh‑MNX1‑AS1 + miR‑2113 inhibitor or sh‑MNX1‑AS1 + pCDH‑ MDM2 vector. The present study demonstrated that MNX1‑AS1 promoted prostate cancer progression through regulating miR‑2113/ MDM2 axis.
