Long noncoding RNA MIR99AHG promotes gastric cancer progression by inducing EMT and inhibiting apoptosis via miR577/FOXP1 axis.

ABSTRACT: Background:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a vital role in the genesis and development of human cancer. LncRNA MIR99AHG has been reported to be upregulated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, its function in gastric cancer (GC) is still not clear. Here we were aiming to screen the prognostic lncRNA candidates and to explore the function of MIR99AHG in GC. Methods:We have preliminarily screened some candidate lncRNA biomarkers in GC tissues through analyzing microarray datasets. The expression level of MIR99AHG in GC cell lines and tissues was monitored via qPCR. Survival analysis was performed with the patients of our hospital and TCGA database cases. CCK-8 assay, trans-well assay and flow cytometry were performed to determine cell proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis. Meanwhile, a target of MIR99AHG was predicted and identified by luciferase reporter gene detection experiments. Results:MIR99AHG was strongly up-regulated in human GC and contributed to cancer progression. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that up-regulating MIR99AHG expression was positively correlated with unfavorable overall survival (P?

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have reported the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the progression of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). SWT1-derived circRNAs were confirmed to affect the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes; however, the biological functions of SWT1-derived circRNAs in cancers are still unknown. Here, we investigated the potential role of SWT1-derived circRNAs in NSCLC.MethodsWe used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to measure the expression of circSWT1 in NSCLC tissues and paired normal tissues. The potential functions of circSWT1 in tumor progression were assessed by CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing, and matrigel transwell assays in vitro and by xenograft tumor models in vivo. Next, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was evaluated by western blotting, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Moreover, circRIP, RNA pulldown assays, luciferase reporter gene assays, and FISH were conducted to illuminate the molecular mechanisms of circSWT1 via the miR-370-3p/SNAIL signal pathway. Then, we knocked out SNAIL in A549 and H1299 cells to identify the roles of circSWT1 in the progression and EMT of NSCLC through SNAIL. Finally, circSWT1 functions were confirmed in vivo using xenograft tumor models.ResultsCircSWT1 expression was significantly upregulated in NSCLC tissues, and high expression of circSWT1 predicted poor prognosis in NSCLC via survival analysis. In addition, overexpression of circSWT1 promoted the invasion and migration of NSCLC cells. Subsequently, we found that overexpression of circSWT1 induced EMT and that knockdown of circSWT1 inhibited EMT in NSCLC cells. Mechanistically, circSWT1 relieved the inhibition of downstream SNAIL by sponging miR-370-3p. Moreover, we found that these effects could be reversed by knocking out SNAIL. Finally, we verified that circSWT1 promoted NSCLC progression and EMT in xenograft tumor models.ConclusionCircSWT1 promoted the invasion, migration, and EMT of NSCLC. CircSWT1 could serve as a potential biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC.
