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.

Abstract Background LOXL1-AS1 is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that plays crucial roles in various cancers. However, the functional role of LOXL1-AS1 in laryngocarcinoma remains unclear. Thus we planned to probe into the function and underlying mechanism of LOXL1-AS1 in laryngocarcinoma. Methods Gene expression was evaluated in laryngocarcinoma cells using RT-qPCR. The ability of cell proliferation and migration was assessed by CCK8, colony formation, wound healing and transwell assays. The interaction among LOXL1-AS1, miR-589-5p and TRAF6 was detected by Ago2-RIP, RNA pull down and luciferase reporter assays. Results LOXL1-AS1 was overexpressed in laryngocarcinoma cells. Silencing of LOXL1-AS1 suppressed cell proliferation, migration and EMT in laryngocarcinoma. Moreover, miR-589-5p, the downstream of LOXL1-AS1, directly targeted TRAF6 in laryngocarcinoma. Importantly, LOXL1-AS1 augmented TRAF6 expression in laryngocarcinoma cells by sequestering miR-589-5p. Besides, miR-589-5p worked as a tumor-inhibitor while TRAF6 functioned as a tumor-facilitator in laryngocarcinoma. Of note, rescue experiments both in vitro and in vivo validated that LOXL1-AS1 aggravated the malignancy in laryngocarcinoma by targeting miR-589-5p/TRAF6 pathway. Conclusions LOXL1-AS1 promotes the proliferation and migration of laryngocarcinoma cells through absorbing miR-589-5p to upregulate TRAF6 expression.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) function in the tumorigenesis of NSCLC. LINC00958, a newly identified lncRNA, has been reported to be closely linked to tumorigenesis in several cancers. However, its specific role in NSCLC remains unclear. In this study, we determined the expression of LINC00958 in NSCLC by RT-qPCR analysis and evaluated cell proliferation and migration by CCK-8 and transwell assays, respectively. We established a xenograft tumor model to examine the effect of LINC00958 on tumor growth in vivo. Luciferase reporter assays were performed to determine the interaction between LINC00958 and miR-204-3p and the interaction between miR-204-3p and KIF2A. We found that LINC00958 was up-regulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Down-regulation of LINC00958 inhibited cell proliferation and migration in vitro and suppressed tumor growth in vivo. Besides, miR-204-3p was identified as a target of LINC00958 and miR-204-3p inhibitor could reverse the inhibitory effect of LINC00958 knockdown on proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells. We also validated that KIF2A, a direct target of miR-204-3p, was responsible for the biological role of LINC00958. KIF2A antagonized the effect of miR-204-3p on NSCLC cell proliferation and migration and was regulated by LINC00958/miR-204-3p. Taken together, these data indicate that the LINC00958/miR-204-3p/KIF2A axis is critical for NSCLC progression, which might provide a potential therapeutic target of NSCLC.

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.
