A LINC00472-encoded polypeptide impedes migration and proliferation through modulation of the HDAC2/SP1 axis in non-small cell lung cancer cells.
Objective: While long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as sources of functional micropeptides, their roles in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain poorly characterized. This study investigates the therapeutic potential and molecular mechanism of LINC00472-encoded polypeptide in NSCLC.
Methods: Through integration of ribosome profiling, transcriptomics, and co-expression analysis, we systematically identified lncRNA-encoded polypeptides in NSCLC. Translational competence was validated via ribosome affinity purification (TRAP), Western blot, and immunofluorescence (IF). Functional assays (CCK-8, EdU, wound healing, transwell) and xenograft models assessed anti-tumor effects. HDAC2/SP1 interaction dynamics were analyzed by co-IP and luciferase reporter systems.
Results: Multi-omics screening identified LINC00472 as a bifunctional transcript encoding a 15-aa polypeptide (LINC00472-ORF). LINC00472-ORF exhibited potent tumor-suppressive activity, reducing NSCLC proliferation and motility in vitro, while suppressing xenograft growth in vivo. Mechanistically, LINC00472-ORF disrupted HDAC2/SP1 interaction, inducing SP1 hyperacetylation, cytoplasmic retention, and transcriptional inactivation of downstream oncogenic genes.
Conclusion: We unveil LINC00472-ORF as a dual-function therapeutic agent that targets the HDAC2/SP1 axis to inhibit NSCLC progression.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Cell International publishes articles on all aspects of cancer cell biology, originating largely from, but not limited to, work using cell culture techniques.
The journal focuses on novel cancer studies reporting data from biological experiments performed on cells grown in vitro, in two- or three-dimensional systems, and/or in vivo (animal experiments). These types of experiments have provided crucial data in many fields, from cell proliferation and transformation, to epithelial-mesenchymal interaction, to apoptosis, and host immune response to tumors.
Cancer Cell International also considers articles that focus on novel technologies or novel pathways in molecular analysis and on epidemiological studies that may affect patient care, as well as articles reporting translational cancer research studies where in vitro discoveries are bridged to the clinic. As such, the journal is interested in laboratory and animal studies reporting on novel biomarkers of tumor progression and response to therapy and on their applicability to human cancers.
