Hypoxia-sensitive LINC01436 is regulated by E2F6 and acts as an oncogene by targeting miR-30a-3p in non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Dysregulation of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is known to be involved in numerous human diseases, including lung cancer. However, the precise biological functions of most lncRNA remain to be elucidated. Here, we identified a novel up-regulated lncRNA, LINC01436 (RefSeq: NR_110419.1), in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). High expression of LINC01436 was significantly associated with poor overall survival. Notably, LINC01436 expression was transcriptionally repressed by E2F6 under normoxia, and the inhibitory effect was relieved in a hypoxic microenvironment. Gain- and loss-of-function studies revealed that LINC01436 acted as a proto-oncogene by promoting lung cancer cell growth, migration and invasion in vitro. Xenograft tumor assays in nude mice confirmed that LINC01436 promoted tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, LINC01436 exerted biological functions by acting as a microRNA (miR)-30a-3p sponge to regulate the expression of its target gene EPAS1. Our findings characterize LINC01436 as a new hypoxia-sensitive lncRNA with oncogenic function in NSCLC, suggesting that LINC01436 may be a potential biomarker for prognosis and a potential target for treatment.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the microRNA-200b-3p expression in lung adenocarcinoma and the possible functional associations of microRNA-200b-3p with cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.MethodsQuantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression of microRNA-200b-3p in lung adenocarcinoma samples and in the human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines A549 and H1299. A549 and H1299 cells were transfected with either a microRNA-200b-3p mimic or a negative control microRNA or either an empty vector or an adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A-1 overexpression vector. A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was employed to assess the ability of cell proliferation. Transwell assays and transwell-Matrigel invasion assay were, respectively, utilized to assess the capacity of migration and invasion in A549 and H1299 cells.ResultsThe results showed that microRNA-200b-3p expression was significantly upregulated in tumor tissues compared with that in adjacent normal tissues. Overexpression of microRNA-200b-3p promoted lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation and metastasis. Furthermore, adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A-1 was a direct target of microRNA-200b-3p, and this binding was verified by luciferase reporter analysis. Overexpression of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A-1 obviously suppressed lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Lung adenocarcinoma cell phenotypes induced by microRNA-200b-3p overexpression could be partially remitted by the co-overexpression of microRNA-200b-3p and adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A-1.ConclusionThis study first identified that microRNA-200b-3p is upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma cells and associated with cell proliferation and metastasis. MicroRNA-200b-3p promoted lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation and metastasis by suppressing adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A-1. MicroRNA-200b-3p may function as a novel molecular marker and therapeutic target for lung adenocarcinoma treatment.
