LncRNA HAND2-AS1 represses cervical cancer progression by interaction with transcription factor E2F4 at the promoter of C16orf74.


ABSTRACT: Cervical cancer is one of the major malignancies, the pathophysiology and progression of which remain to be scarcely understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been previously implicated in the progression of cervical cancer. Here, the purpose of this study was to identify whether lncRNA heart- and neural crest derivative-expressed 2-antisense RNA 1 (HAND2-AS1) affect the development of cervical cancer through regulation of chromosome 16 open reading frame 74 (C16orf74) by mediating a transcription factor E2F4. RT-qPCR was performed to determine the expression of HAND2-AS1 in cervical cancer cells. Then, cervical cancer cells were treated with HAND2-AS1 or si-E2F4 RNA, or C16orf74, after which the proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion were detected. Moreover, the binding between HAND2-AS1 and E2F4 or between E2F4 and C16orf74 was explored. Finally, the tumorigenesis of cervical cancer cells was measured in nude mice with altered HAND2-AS1/E2F4/C16orf74 expression. HAND2-AS1 exhibited poor expression in cervical cancer, and HAND2-AS1 overexpression suppressed the proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells. In addition, HAND2-AS1 was found to recruit transcription factor E2F4 to C16orf74 promoter region and down-regulate C16orf74 expression. Lastly, HAND2-AS1/E2F4/C16orf74 modulated the tumorigenesis of cervical cancer in nude mice. In conclusion, this study provided evidence on the inhibitory effect of HAND2-AS1 on the development of cervical cancer through the suppression of C16orf74 expression by recruiting transcription factor E2F4. This study highlights the potential of lncRNA HAND2-AS1 as a target in the treatment of cervical cancer.
