lincRNA HOTAIR as a novel promoter of cancer progression.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNA) regulate development and disease via interactions with their protein partners. Expression of the lincRNA HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) is elevated in a variety of malignancies and linked to metastasis and poor prognosis. HOTAIR promotes proliferation, invasion, and metastasis in the preclinical studies of cancer through modulation of chromatin modifying complexes. In the current review we discuss the molecular mechanisms of HOTAIR-mediated aggressive phenotypes of cancer, HOTAIR's potential in cancer intervention, and challenges in exploration of HOTAIR in cancer biology.

Induction of long intergenic non-coding RNA HOTAIR in lung cancer cells by type I collagen
BACKGROUND The tumor microenvironment is a crucial determinant in tumor progression. Interstitial extracellular matrix (ECM), such as type I collagen (Col-1), is aberrantly enriched in the tumor microenvironment and promotes tumor progression. Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNA) are a new family of regulatory RNAs that modulate fundamental cellular processes via diverse mechanisms. FIND...
متن کاملHOTAIR Induces the Downregulation of miR-200 Family Members in Gastric Cancer Cell Lines
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common human malignancy and the second reason for cancer morbidity worldwide. Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) has recently emerged as a promoter of metastasis in various cancer types, including GC, through the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. However, the exact mechanism of HOTAIR in promoting E...
متن کاملThe Long Noncoding RNA HOTAIR in Breast Cancer: Does Autophagy Play a Role?
HOTAIR (HOX transcript antisense RNA) plays a critical role in chromatin dynamics through the interaction with histone modifiers resulting in transcriptional gene silencing. The promoter of the HOTAIR gene contains multiple estrogen response elements (EREs) and is transcriptionally activated by estradiol in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells. HOTAIR competes with BRCA1, a critical p...
متن کاملMolecular and Cellular Pathobiology Upregulation of miR-196a and HOTAIR Drive Malignant Character in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Large intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNA) have been less studied thanmiRNAs in cancer, although both offer considerable theranostic potential. In this study, we identified frequent upregulation of miR-196a and lincRNA HOTAIR in high-risk gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Overexpression of miR-196a was associated with high-risk grade, metastasis and poor survival amongGIST specimens. miR-1...
متن کاملPrognostic Impact of HOTAIR Expression is Restricted to ER-Negative Breast Cancers
Expression of HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), a large intergenic noncoding RNA (lincRNA), has been described as a metastases-associated lincRNA in various cancers including breast, liver and colon cancer cancers. We sought to determine if expression of HOTAIR could be used as a surrogate for assessing nodal metastases and evaluated RNA in situ hybridization (RNA-ISH) assay in ...
