Abstract
Objectives
Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) represents a type of common malignant tumor originating in the digestive tract. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified to engage in regulating the initiation and development of COAD. LncRNA LINC02253 has been reported abnormal expressed in COAD, but the underlying mechanism has not been discussed so far. This study aimed to determine the role and the molecular biology mechanism of LINC02253 in COAD progression and unearthed its specific molecular mechanism.
Materials and results
RT-qPCR and Western blot assays were conducted to detect gene expression. Function assays were performed to evaluate the effect of gene expression on COAD cell phenotype. Mechanism analyses were done to verify the association among genes after bioinformatics analysis. The obtained data revealed that LINC02253 demonstrated a high expression in COAD tissues and cells. This gene served as an oncogene, permitting to stimulate proliferation and suppress apoptosis of COAD cells. Mechanically, it was found that LINC02253 recruited FUS to stabilize WWP1 mRNA and WWP1 could mediate SMAD3 ubiquitination, thereby promoting the malignant phenotype formation of COAD cells.
Conclusions
LINC02253 was uncovered to exert an oncogenic role, enhancing the proliferation of COAD cells and repressing the cell apoptosis by recruiting FUS and encouraging WWP1-mediated SMAD3 ubiquitination.
期刊介绍:
MCP - Advancing biology through–omics and bioinformatic technologies wants to capture outcomes from the current revolution in molecular technologies and sciences. The journal has broadened its scope and embraces any high quality research papers, reviews and opinions in areas including, but not limited to, molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, immunology, physiology, epidemiology, ecology, virology, microbiology, parasitology, genetics, evolutionary biology, genomics (including metagenomics), bioinformatics, proteomics, metabolomics, glycomics, and lipidomics. Submissions with a technology-driven focus on understanding normal biological or disease processes as well as conceptual advances and paradigm shifts are particularly encouraged. The Editors welcome fundamental or applied research areas; pre-submission enquiries about advanced draft manuscripts are welcomed. Top quality research and manuscripts will be fast-tracked.
