The long non-coding RNA colon cancer-associated transcript 1 (CCAT1) has been investigated to involve in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Thus, this study aims to explore the detailed molecular mechanisms of CCAT1 in NSCLC. The expression of CCAT1, miR-216a-5p, RAP2B, Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase 3 was detected by qRT-PCR or Western blot. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were analyzed using cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry or Transwell assays, respectively. The interaction between miR-216a-5p and CCAT1 or RAP2B was analyzed by luciferase reporter, RNA immunoprecipitation, and pull-down assays. The expression of CCAT1 was elevated in NSCLC, and CCAT1 deletion could inhibit NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion but induce apoptosis in vitro as well as imped tumor growth in vivo. MiR-216a-5p was confirmed to be a target of CCAT1, and silencing miR-216a-5p could reverse CCAT1 depletion-mediated inhibitory effects on cell tumorigenesis in NSCLC. Besides that, miR-216a-5p was decreased in NSCLC, and miR-216a-5p restoration inhibited cell tumorigenesis by regulating RAP2B, which was verified to be a target of miR-216a-5p. Additionally, co-expression analysis suggested that CCAT1 indirectly regulated RAP2B level by targeting miR-216a-5p in NSCLC cells. Taken together, CCAT1 deletion could inhibit cell progression in NSCLC through miR-216a-5p/RAP2B axis, indicating a novel pathway underlying NSCLC cell progression and providing new potential targets for NSCLC treatment. Impact statement We investigated that CCAT1 expression was elevated in NSCLC and CCAT1 deletion was identified to inhibit cell carcinogenic phenotypes in NSCLC cells via miR-216a-5p/RAP2B axis, which reveals a novel pathway underlying progression in NSCLC cells and providing potential targets for NSCLC treatment.

Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) THOR (Lnc-THOR) is expressed in testis and multiple human malignancies. Lnc-THOR association with IGF2BP1 (IGF2 mRNA-binding protein 1) is essential for stabilization and transcription of IGF2BP1 targeted mRNAs. We tested its expression and potential functions in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In primary NSCLC cells and established cell lines, Lnc-THOR shRNA or CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout (KO) downregulated IGF2BP1 target mRNAs (IGF2, Gli1, Myc and SOX9), inhibiting cell viability, growth, proliferation, migration and invasion. Significant apoptosis activation was detected in Lnc-THOR-silenced/-KO NSCLC cells. Conversely, ectopic overexpression of Lnc-THOR upregulated IGF2BP1 mRNA targets and enhanced NSCLC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. RNA-immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down assay results confirmed the direct binding between Lnc-THOR and IGF2BP1 protein in NSCLC cells. Lnc-THOR silencing and overexpression were ineffective in IGF2BP1-KO NSCLC cells. Forced IGF2BP1 overexpression failed to rescue Lnc-THOR-KO NSCLC cells. In vivo, intratumoral injection of Lnc-THOR shRNA adeno-associated virus potently inhibited A549 xenograft tumor growth in nude mice. At last we show that Lnc-THOR is overexpressed in multiple NSCLC tissues and established/primary NSCLC cells. Collectively, these results highlighted the ability of Lnc-THOR in promoting NSCLC cell growth by associating with IGF2BP1, suggesting that Lnc-THOR represents a promising therapeutic target of NSCLC.
