Long non-coding RNA AK096174 promotes cell proliferation and invasion in gastric cancer by regulating WDR66 expression.


ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the major causes of cancer deaths worldwide; however, the mechanism of carcinogenesis is complex and poorly understood. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been reported to be involved in the development of multiple cancers. Here, we identified a novel lncRNA, AK096174, which was up-regulated and associated with tumorigenesis, tumor size, metastasis, and poor prognosis in GC. Our data showed that AK096174 was highly expressed in the GC tissues and cell lines (SGC-7901, AGS, BGC-823, MGC-803), and patients with higher AK096174 expression had a poorer prognosis and shorter overall survival (OS). AK096174 knockdown inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasiveness in SGC-7901 and BGC-823 cells, whereas AK096174 overexpression had the promoting effects. Furthermore, mechanistic investigation showed that AK096174 positively correlated with the expression of WD repeat-containing protein 66 (WDR66) gene at the translational level. Knockdown of WRD66 attenuated the positive impact of AK096174 in GC cells. The findings of the present study establish a function for AK096174 in GC progression and suggest it may serve as a potential target for GC therapy in the future.
