Abstract
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a type of common and fatal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This study aimed to detect the specific function of lncRNA ARAP1-AS1 in DLBCL. The in vitro experiments were performed using RT-qPCR, western blotting, MTT, colony formation, flow cytometry analysis, FISH, RNA pulldown, and luciferase reporter assays. A xenograft mouse model was used to evaluate tumor growth in vivo. ARAP1-AS1 expression was upregulated in DLBCL tissues and cells. ARAP1-AS1 knockdown inhibited DLBCL cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. ARAP1-AS1 activated PI3K/AKT signaling by upregulating EMP1 expression via miR-508–5p. EMP1 overexpression markedly abolished the effect of ARAP1-AS1 knockdown on DLBCL cell proliferation and apoptosis, and PI3K inhibitor reversed the effect of ARAP1-AS1 overexpression on DLBCL cells. ARAP1-AS1 knockdown inhibited DLBCL tumor growth and reduced Ki-67, EMP1, and p-AKT expression in xenograft mouse models. ARAP1-AS1 knockdown exerts anti-tumor effect on DLBCL progression through the miR-508–5p/EMP1/PI3K/AKT axis.
期刊介绍:
Hematological Oncology considers for publication articles dealing with experimental and clinical aspects of neoplastic diseases of the hemopoietic and lymphoid systems and relevant related matters. Translational studies applying basic science to clinical issues are particularly welcomed. Manuscripts dealing with the following areas are encouraged:
-Clinical practice and management of hematological neoplasia, including: acute and chronic leukemias, malignant lymphomas, myeloproliferative disorders
-Diagnostic investigations, including imaging and laboratory assays
-Epidemiology, pathology and pathobiology of hematological neoplasia of hematological diseases
-Therapeutic issues including Phase 1, 2 or 3 trials as well as allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation studies
-Aspects of the cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genetics and cytogenetics of normal or diseased hematopoeisis and lymphopoiesis, including stem cells and cytokines and other regulatory systems.
Concise, topical review material is welcomed, especially if it makes new concepts and ideas accessible to a wider community. Proposals for review material may be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief. Collections of case material and case reports will be considered only if they have broader scientific or clinical relevance.
