LINC01116 promotes tumor proliferation and neutrophil recruitment via DDX5-mediated regulation of IL-1? in glioma cell.

ABSTRACT: Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) are important inflammatory infiltrating cells in the tumor microenvironment and are closely related to the development of human tumor. However, the underlying mechanism of TANs recruiting to glioma remains unknown. Herein, we identified that LINC01116 was significantly upregulated in glioma, and positively correlated with clinical malignancy and survival prognosis. LINC01116 regulated the progression of glioma in vitro and in vivo. RNA-seq analysis demonstrated that LINC01116 knockdown affected the expression of IL-1?, which promoted glioma proliferation and neutrophil recruitment. Furthermore, the co-culture of glioma cells and neutrophils showed that the accumulation of TANs promoted tumor proliferation via producing a host of cytokines. Mechanistically, LINC01116 activated IL-1? expression by recruiting the transcriptional regulator DDX5 to the IL-1? promoter. Our findings reveal that LINC01116 can promote glioma proliferation and neutrophil recruitment by regulating IL-1?, and may be served as a novel target for glioma therapy and prognosis.
