Colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRA) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the world. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated to be effective regulators in the disease course of human cancers, including CRA. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 17 (SNHG17) belongs to lncRNAs, and it has been reported in breast cancer and gastric cancer. However, the function of SNHG17 and its mechanism in CRA progression remain largely unknown. In this study, we attended to shedding some light on the role of SNHG17 in CRA.
RT-qPCR was used to assess SNHG17 expression in CRA cells. CCK-8 assay, colony formation and transwell assay were carried out to detect the regulatory effect of SNHG17 silencing on CRA cell proliferation and migration. The angiogenesis of SNHG7-downregulated CRA cells was analyzed by tube formation assay. Mechanism experiments were conducted to identify the interaction between miR-23a-3p and SNHG17 or C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12).
SNHG17 possessed with high expression in CRA cells. Knockdown of SNHG17 caused the inhibition on CRA cell proliferation and migration. SNHG17 promoted CRA cell proliferation and migration by sponging miR-23a-3p to upregulate CXCL12.

结直肠癌(CRA)是全球癌症相关死亡的主要原因之一。长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)被认为是人类癌症(包括CRA)病程中的有效调节因子。小核仁RNA宿主基因17(SNHG17)属于lncRNA,在乳腺癌和胃癌中已有报道。然而,SNHG17在CRA进展中的功能及其机制仍 largely unknown。在本研究中,我们试图阐明SNHG17在CRA中的作用。
采用RT-qPCR评估CRA细胞中SNHG17的表达。进行CCK-8检测、集落形成和Transwell检测,以检测SNHG17沉默对CRA细胞增殖和迁移的调节作用。通过管腔形成试验分析SNHG7下调的CRA细胞的血管生成。进行机制实验以确定miR-23a-3p与SNHG17或C-X-C基序趋化因子配体12(CXCL12)之间的相互作用。
