Long Non-Coding RNA ucoo2kmd.1 Regulates CD44-Dependent Cell Growth by Competing for miR-211-3p in Colorectal Cancer

چکیده
In addition to protein-coding genes, the human genome makes a large amount of noncoding RNAs. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been described as the largest subclass of the non-coding transcriptome in human noncoding RNAs. In recent years, lncRNAs have been considered to be the key regulators of tumor behavior. In this study, based on previous research, we investigated the expression and biological role of a newly identified cancer-related lncRNA, lncRNA-uc002kmd.1. We analyzed the relationship between lncRNA-uc002kmd.1 and colorectal cancer (CRC) in a total 45 CRC and paired adjacent, non-tumor tissue samples. We found that lncRNA-uc002kmd.1 expression was usually highly expressed in carcinoma compared with the tissue adjacent to the carcinoma. Through a series of experiments, the results showed that lncRNA-uc002kmd.1 regulates CD44 as a molecular decoy for miR211-3p. Our data indicated that the overexpression of lncRNA-uc002kmd.1 enhanced cell proliferation in CRC.

Long non-coding RNA NEAT1 regulates epithelial membrane protein 2 expression to repress nasopharyngeal carcinoma migration and irradiation-resistance through miR-101-3p as a competing endogenous RNA mechanism
The altered expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is often related to carcinogenesis, metastasis and resistance to radiation or chemotherapy. In the current study, cDNA microarray analysis found that NEAT1 expression was reduced in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients and that it regulated NPC progression. However, the detailed mechanisms of NEAT1 in NPC were unclear. NEAT1 repressed ...

We investigated the transcriptional mechanism underlying lung cancer development. RNA sequencing analysis was performed on blood samples from lung cancer cases and healthy controls. Differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), mRNAs (genes), and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) were identified, followed by pathway enrichment analysis. Based on miRNA target interactions, a...

BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 has been reported to involve in many kinds of human cancers and functions as an oncogene. Our previous study found that H19 was over-expressed in gallbladder cancer (GBC) and was shown to promote tumor development in GBC. However, the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network involving H19 in GBC progression has not been fully elucidated. We...
متن کاملLong noncoding RNA XIST expedites metastasis and modulates epithelial–mesenchymal transition in colorectal cancer
Tumor progression and metastasis is the main cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critical regulators in various diseases including human cancer. In this study, we found that lncRNA XIST was overexpressed in CRC cell lines and tissues. High expression of lncRNA XIST was associated with adverse overall survival in CRC patients. Knockdown of lncRNA XIST rem...

PURPOSE MicroRNAs (miRNA) that are strongly implicated in carcinogenesis have recently reshaped our understanding of the role of non-protein-coding RNAs. Here, we focused on the function and molecular mechanism of miR-202-3p and its potential clinical application in colorectal cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN miR-202-3p expression was determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) ...
