KDM4A-AS1 promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion via the miR-4306/STX6 axis in hepatocellular carcinoma
Background: As a primary liver malignancy, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is commonly induced by chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Bioinformatics analysis reveals that long noncoding RNA KDM4A antisense RNA 1 (KDM4A-AS1) may be aberrantly expressed in HCC and its abnormal expression might influence prognosis in patients.
Objective: To illustrate the functions and mechanism of KDM4A-AS1 in regulating HCC malignant cell behavior.
Methods: KDM4A-AS1, microRNA (miR)-4306 and messenger RNA syntaxin 6 (STX6) expression was examined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). HCC cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were measured by colony forming assays, flow cytometry, wound healing and Transwell assays. The interaction between genes was verified by RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays. Western blotting was performed to quantify protein expression of STX6 or apoptotic markers.
Results: KDM4A-AS1 was highly expressed in HCC cells and tissues. KDM4A-AS1 knockdown led to enhanced HCC cell apoptosis and suppressed HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. MiR-4306 bound to and negatively regulated STX6. KDM4A-AS1 directly bound to miR-4306 and thus upregulated STX6. STX6 overexpression reversed the inhibitory influence of KDM4A-AS1 depletion on HCC malignant behavior.
Conclusions: KDM4A-AS1 promotes HCC cell migration, invasion, and growth by upregulating STX6 via miR-4306.
期刊介绍:
Critical ReviewsTM in Eukaryotic Gene Expression presents timely concepts and experimental approaches that are contributing to rapid advances in our mechanistic understanding of gene regulation, organization, and structure within the contexts of biological control and the diagnosis/treatment of disease. The journal provides in-depth critical reviews, on well-defined topics of immediate interest, written by recognized specialists in the field. Extensive literature citations provide a comprehensive information resource.
Reviews are developed from an historical perspective and suggest directions that can be anticipated. Strengths as well as limitations of methodologies and experimental strategies are considered.
