Abstract Background: Long non-coding RNAs are involved in the tumorigenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aims to investigate whether LINC00476 affects the proliferation, invasion, and migration of NSCLC cells via SETDB1-activated Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Method: The expression of LINC00476, SETDB1, Wnt1, and β-catenin were determined in NSCLC tumor tissues and the paired adjacent tissues, as well as in NSCLC cell lines and bronchial epithelioid cell lines. Cell proliferation, invasion, and migration were determined using cell counting kit-8 assay and Transwell assay. The relationship between LINC00476 and SETDB1 was elucidated using RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, and ubiquitination assays. Result: LINC00476 was significantly downregulated, while SETDB1, Wnt1, and β-catenin were upregulated in NSCLC tumor tissues and cell lines compared to the normal ones. Overexpression of LINC00476 promoted the proliferation, invasion, and migration of NSCLC cells, as well as suppressed tumor growth in the mouse xenograft. Meanwhile, overexpression of LINC00476 induced the degradation of SETDB1 via promoting its ubiquitination. The simultaneous overexpression of LINC00476 and SETDB1 negated the inhibition of LINC00476 overexpression on the proliferation, invasion, and migration of NSCLC cells. Conclusion: LINC00476 acts as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC via downregulating SETDB1, which provides a novel target in treating NSCLC.

Abstract Background MCM3AP-AS1 is a recently characterized lncRNA playing an oncogenic role in several cancers. However, its role in lung cancer remains unknown. Here, we aimed to explore the functions of MCM3AP-AS1 in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and the possible underlying mechanisms. Methods MCM3AP-AS1 and ROCK1 levels in SCLC patients were analyzed by qPCR. RNA pull-down and luciferase assays were performed to analyze the interaction between MCM3AP-AS1 and miR-148a. ROCK1 mRNA and protein levels were detected by qPCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell invasion and migration were analyzed by Transwell assays. Results MCM3AP-AS1 was upregulated in patients with SCLC, and a high MCM3AP-AS1 level was accompanied by a low survival rate. The binding of MCM3AP-AS1 to miR-148a predicted by bioinformatics analysis was verified by RNA pull-down and luciferase assays. However, MCM3AP-AS1 and miR-148a did not affect each other’s expression. ROCK1 was upregulated in SCLC tissues and positively correlated with MCM3AP-AS1. In SCLC cells, MCM3AP-AS1 overexpression increased ROCK1 and promoted cancer cell invasion and migration, while miR-148a overexpression showed the opposite effects and attenuated the effects of MCM3AP-AS1 overexpression on ROCK1 expression and cell behaviors. Conclusions MCM3AP-AS1 sponges miR-148a, thereby increasing SCLC cell invasion and migration via upregulating ROCK1 expression.

Phycocyanin, derived from Spirulina platensis, is a type of natural antineoplastic marine protein. It is known that phycocyanin exerts anticancer effects on non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, but its underlying mechanism has not been elucidated. Herein, the antitumor function and regulatory mechanism of phycocyanin were investigated in three NSCLC cell lines for the first time: H358, H1650, and LTEP-a2. Cell phenotype experiments suggested that phycocyanin could suppress the survival rate, proliferation, colony formation, and migration abilities, as well as induce apoptosis of NSCLC cells. Subsequently, transcriptome analysis revealed that receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) was significantly down-regulated by phycocyanin in the LTEP-a2 cell, which was further validated by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis in two other cell lines. Interestingly, similar to phycocyanin-treated assays, siRNA knockdown of RIPK1 expression also resulted in growth and migration inhibition of NSCLC cells. Moreover, the activity of NF-κB signaling was also suppressed after silencing RIPK1 expression, indicating that phycocyanin exerted anti-proliferative and anti-migratory function through down-regulating RIPK1/NF-κB activity in NSCLC cells. This study proposes a mechanism of action for phycocyanin involving both NSCLC apoptosis and down regulation of NSCLC genes.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play nonnegligible roles in the metastasis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study is aimed at investigating the biological role of lncRNA OXCT1-AS1 in NSCLC metastasis and the underlying regulatory mechanisms. The expression profiles of lncRNA OXCT1-AS1 in different NSCLC cell lines were examined. Then, the biological function of lncRNA OXCT1-AS1 in NSCLC metastasis was explored by loss-of-function assays in vitro and in vivo. Further, the protective effect of lncRNA OXCT1-AS1 on lymphoid enhancer factor 1 (LEF1) was examined using RNA pull-down and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Additionally, the role of LEF1 in NSCLC metastasis was investigated. Results indicated that lncRNA OXCT1-AS1 expression was significantly increased in NSCLC cell lines. Functional analysis revealed that knockdown of lncRNA OXCT1-AS1 impaired invasion and migration in vitro. Additionally, the ability of lncRNA OXCT1-AS1 to promote NSCLC metastasis was also confirmed in vivo. Mechanistically, through direct interaction, lncRNA OXCT1-AS1 maintained LEF1 stability by blocking NARF-mediated ubiquitination. Furthermore, LEF1 knockdown impaired invasion and migration of NSCLC in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, these data highlight the ability of lncRNA OXCT1-AS1 to promote NSCLC metastasis by stabilizing LEF1 and suggest that lncRNA OXCT1-AS1 represents a novel therapeutic target in NSCLC.

The two broad histological subtypes of lung cancer are small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which are the leading causes of cancer-related death in the world. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been verified to be critical in the regulation of cancer development. The present study identified and elucidated the regulatory roles of a novel lncRNA MRUL in NSCLC. The results showed that MRUL was overexpressed in NSCLC samples and correlated with the poor prognosis of patients who had NSCLC. Moreover, this research has for the first time demonstrated that MRUL acted as an oncogenetic lncRNA in NSCLC. Knockdown of MRUL considerably repressed NSCLC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. The bioinformatics analysis showed that MRUL was involved in regulating multiple RNA splicing and proliferation-related biological processes, such as mRNA splicing, RNA splicing, mRNA processing, mRNA 3 ′ -end processing, mRNA splice site selection, and DNA replication. By combining bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation, we found that MRUL regulated NSCLC progression through promoting SRSF2 by sponging miR-17 in NSCLC cells. The discoveries indicated that MRUL could be a therapeutic target and a potential diagnostic for NSCLC.
