LncRNAs affect tumorigenesis, and although the genesis, regulation and physiological mechanism of lncRNAs in gastric cancer (GC) have been reported, the research of lncRNAs still have a lot of value. Through comprehensive bioinformatics analysis, we screened the candidate lncRNA WAC-AS1(WAC-AS1). We analyzed WAC-AS1 expression in GC related tissues and cells using qRT-PCR. WAC-AS1's impact on GC growth and metastasis was investigated. LncRNA WC-AS-miR-204-5p-HOXC8 interaction was established through dual-luciferase reporter, FISH, RIP and RNA pull-down assay. We observed substantial upregulation in WAC-AS1 expression in cells and tissues of GC. WAC-AS1 through miR-204-5p/HOXC8 axis promoted GC proliferation, invasion, and migration. WAC-AS1 plays a cancer-promoting role for promoting the progression of GC.
长链非编码RNA(lncRNAs)影响肿瘤发生,尽管lncRNAs在胃癌(GC)中的起源、调控及生理机制已有报道,但lncRNAs的研究仍具有很大价值。通过综合生物信息学分析,我们筛选出候选lncRNA WAC-AS1(WAC反义链RNA1)。我们使用qRT-PCR分析了WAC-AS1在GC相关组织和细胞中的表达。研究了WAC-AS1对GC生长和转移的影响。通过双荧光素酶报告基因检测、荧光原位杂交(FISH)、RNA免疫沉淀(RIP)和RNA下拉实验建立了lncRNA WC-AS-miR-204-5p-HOXC8相互作用关系。我们观察到GC细胞和组织中WAC-AS1表达显著上调。WAC-AS1通过miR-204-5p/HOXC8轴促进GC增殖、侵袭和迁移。WAC-AS1在促进GC进展方面发挥着促癌作用。
