Conserved long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have not thoroughly been studied in many cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). We have identified a novel lncRNA PTCHD4-AS which was highly conserved between humans and mice and naturally downregulated in GC cell lines and tissues. Notably, PTCHD4-AS was found to be transcriptionally induced by DNA damage agents and its upregulation led to cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, in parallel, it facilitated the cell apoptosis induced by cisplatin (CDDP) in GC. Mechanistically, PTCHD4-AS directly bound to the DNA mismatch repair protein MSH2-MSH6 dimer, and facilitated the binding of dimer to ATM, thereby promoting the expression of phosphorylated ATM, p53 and p21. Here we conclude that the upregulation of PTCHD4-AS inhibits proliferation and increases CDDP sensitivity of GC cells via binding with MSH2-MSH6 dimer, activating the ATM-p53-p21 pathway.
在许多癌症中,包括胃癌(GC),长链非编码 RNA(lncRNA)的保守性尚未得到彻底研究。我们已经鉴定出一种新型 lncRNA PTCHD4-AS,它在人类和小鼠之间高度保守,并且在 GC 细胞系和组织中自然下调。值得注意的是,PTCHD4-AS 被发现可被 DNA 损伤剂转录诱导,其上调导致细胞周期在 G2/M 期停滞,同时促进 GC 中顺铂(CDDP)诱导的细胞凋亡。从机制上讲,PTCHD4-AS 直接与 DNA 错配修复蛋白 MSH2-MSH6 二聚体结合,并促进二聚体与 ATM 的结合,从而促进磷酸化 ATM、p53 和 p21 的表达。在这里,我们得出结论,PTCHD4-AS 的上调通过与 MSH2-MSH6 二聚体结合,激活 ATM-p53-p21 通路,抑制 GC 细胞的增殖并增加 CDDP 敏感性。
