The long non‐coding RNA antisense 1 ADAMTS9-AS1 has been reported to serve as an oncogene or tumor suppressor in several tumors, including colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Nevertheless, the clinical significance and biological behaviors of ADAMTS9-AS1 in glioma still remain unclear. Therefore, the goal of this study was to evaluate the functional roles and potential mechanisms of ADAMTS9-AS1 in glioma cells. Using quantitative real-time PCR analysis, we found that ADAMTS9-AS1 was upregulated in glioma tissues and cells in comparison to corresponding controls. ADAMTS9-AS1 expression level was correlated to tumor size (p=0.005) and WHO grade (p=0.002). Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox multivariate analysis showed that ADAMTS9-AS1 could serve as an independent prognostic factor affecting the overall survival of glioma patients. Functionally, depletion of ADAMTS9-AS1 significantly suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion in glioma cell lines (U251 and U87), as shown via CCK-8 assay, Edu corporation assay, wound healing assay and transwell assay. Furthermore, we demonstrated that knockdown of ADAMTS9-AS1 suppressed Wnt1, β-catenin, c-myc and PCNA, while upregulating E-cadherin expression. In conclusion, our data revealed that ADAMTS9-AS1 confers oncogenic function in the progression of glioma, thus targeting ADAMTS9-AS1 might be a promising therapeutic strategy for this disease.

Abstract Background X inactivation-specific transcript (XIST) is the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) related to cancer, which is involved in the development and progression of various types of tumor. However, up to now, the exact role and molecular mechanism of XIST in the progression of ovarian cancer are not clear. We studied the function of XIST in ovarian cancer cells and clinical tumor specimens. Methods RT-qPCR was performed to detect the expression levels of miR-335 and BCL2L2 in ovarian cancer cells and tissues. MTT and transwell assays were carried out to detect cell proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities. Western blot was performed to analyze the expression level of BCL2L2. The interaction between miR-335 and XIST/BCL2L2 was confirmed using a luciferase reporter assay. Results The inhibition of XIST can inhibit the proliferation invasion and migration of human ovarian cancer cells. In addition, the miR-335/BCL2L2 axis was involved in the functions of XIST in ovarian cancer cells. These results suggested that XIST could regulate tumor proliferation and invasion and migration via modulating miR-335/BCL2L2. Conclusion XIST might be a carcinogenic lncRNA in ovarian cancer by regulating miR-335, and it can serve as a therapeutic target in human ovarian cancer.

Abstract Background: Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been verified to have significant regulatory roles in multiple human cancer processes. Long non-coding RNA LINC00152, located on chromosome 2p11.2, was identified as an oncogenic lncRNA in various cancers. However, the biological function and molecular mechanism of LINC00152 in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) are still unknown.Methods: Bioinformatic analysis was performed to determine LINC00152 expression levels in the CCA and normal tissues by using raw microarray data downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE76297) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to validate LINC00152 expression in the CCA tissues compared with that in the paired normal tissues. CCK8, colony formation, Edu assays, transwell assays, flow cytometry, and in vivo tumor formation assays were performed to investigate the biological function of LINC00152 on CCA cell phenotypes. RNA-seq was carried out to identify the downstream target gene which was further examined by qRT-PCR, western bolt and rescue experiments. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed to reveal the factors involved in the mechanism of LINC00152 functions in CCA.Results: LINC00152 is significantly upregulated in cholangiocarcinoma. LINC00152 regulated the proliferation and migration of cholangiocarcinoma cells both in vitro and in vivo. RNA-seq revealed that LINC00152 knockdown preferentially affected genes linked with cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell adhesion. Furthermore, mechanistic investigation validated that LINC00152 could bind EZH2 and modulate the histone methylation of promoter of leucine rich repeats and immunoglobulin like domains 1 (LRIG1), thereby affecting cholangiocarcinoma cells growth and migration.Conclusion: Taken together, these results demonstrated the significant roles of LINC00152 in cholangiocarcinoma and suggested a new diagnostic and therapeutic direction of cholangiocarcinoma.

The present study was directed toward laying new findings for Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL)-oriented therapy with a focus on long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)–microRNAs (miRNAs)–mRNA interaction. The expression and function of XIST (X-inactive specific transcript) were analyzed both in vivo and in vitro. The online database of lncRNA-miRNA interaction was used to screen the target of XIST, and miR-497 was selected. Next, the predicted binding between XIST and miR-497, and the dynamic effect of XIST and miR-497 on downstream Bcl-w was evaluated. We found that XIST dramatically increased in the blood of ENKL patients and cell lines. XIST knockdown suppressed the cell proliferation and migration in vivo and in vitro. Herein, we confirmed the negative interaction between XIST and miR-497. Moreover, XIST knockdown reduced the protein levels of Bcl-w, a downstream target of miR-497. XIST sponges miR-497 to promote Bcl-w expression, and finally modulating ENKL cell proliferation and migration. To be interested, inhibition of Bcl-w by ABT737 can overcome the high expression of XIST, and suppressed the ENKL proliferation and migration by inducing apoptosis. This study provided a novel experimental basis for ENKL-oriented therapy with a focus on the lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA interaction.
