The lncRNA MALAT1 is a novel biomarker for gastric cancer metastasis.

ABSTRACT: The metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is frequently over-expressed and serves as a prognostic marker in human cancers. However, little is known about the role of MALAT1 in gastric cancer. Here, we reported that the tissue and plasma MALAT1 levels were significantly higher in gastric cancer patients with distant metastasis (P<0.01) than patients without distant metastasis and the healthy controls. In addition, high levels of plasma MALAT1 independently correlated to a poor prognosis for gastric cancer patients (hazard ratio, 0.242; 95% CI, 0.154-0.836; P=0.036; Cox regression analysis). Functional studies revealed that knockdown of MALAT1 could inhibit cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration and invasion, and promote apoptosis in gastric cancer cells. Furthermore, the miR-122-IGF-1R signaling correlated with the dysregulated MALAT1 expression in gastric cancer. These data suggest that MALAT1 could function as an oncogene in gastric cancer, and high MALAT1 level could serve as a potential biomarker for the distant metastasis of gastric cancer.

Project description:BackgroundIt has been reported that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be regarded as a biomarker and had particular clinical significance for early screening and gastric cancer (GC) diagnosis. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether serum HCP5 could be a new diagnostic biomarker.MethodsFiltered out the HCP5 from the GEO database. The specificity of HCP5 was verified by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR), and then the stability of HCP5 was verified by room temperature storage and repeated freeze-thaw experiments. Meanwhile, the accuracy of HCP5 was verified by agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) and Sanger sequencing. Simultaneously, the expression level of serum HCP5 was detected by qRT-PCR in 98 patients with primary gastric cancer, 21 gastritis patients, 82 healthy donors, and multiple cancer types. Then, the methodology analysis was carried on. Moreover, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to evaluate its diagnostic efficiency.ResultsqRT-PCR method had good repeatability and stability in detecting HCP5. The expression level of HCP5 in the serum of gastric cancer patients was remarkably higher than that of healthy controls, and it could distinguish gastritis patients from healthy donors. Besides, the expression of HCP5 was increased dramatically in MKN-45 and MGC-803. The FISH assay showed that HCP5 was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm of MKN-45 and BGC-823 cells. When HCP5 was combined with existing tumor markers, the diagnostic efficiency of HCP5 was the best, and the combined diagnosis of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen199 (CA199), and HCP5 can significantly improve the diagnostic sensitivity. Besides, compared with the expression levels of thyroid cancer (THCA), colorectal cancer (CRC), and breast cancer (BRCA), serum HCP5 in gastric cancer was the most specific. Moreover, the high expression of serum HCP5 was related to differentiation, lymph node metastasis, and nerve invasion. The term of serum HCP5 after the operation was significantly lower than that of patients with primary gastric cancer.ConclusionSerum HCP5 can be used as a potential biomarker of non-invasive fluid biopsy, which had a unique value in the early diagnosis, development, and prognosis of gastric cancer.
