Long noncoding RNA long intergenic non-protein-coding RNA 173 contributes to nasopharyngeal carcinoma progression by regulating microRNA-765/Gremlin 1 pathway.
Background: Long intergenic non-protein-coding RNA 173 (LINC00173) executes vital functions in various cancers. Nevertheless, its role and expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) have yet to be investigated. Here, we investigated its effects on the malignancy characteristics of NPC and elucidated the potential molecular mechanism of LINC00173 in NPC progression.
Methods: Quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) and immunoblotting were conducted to estimate the LINC00173, microRNA-765 (miR-765), and Gremlin 1 (GREM1) expressions in NPC cells and tissues. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8), colony formation, and wound healing experiments were done to evaluate the proliferation, growth, and migration of NPC cells, respectively. The tumorous growth of NPC cells in vivo was assessed through the xenograft tumor experiment. Furthermore, the interactions among miR-765, LINC00173, and GREM1 were investigated through bioinformatics analyses, luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation chip assays.
Results: An upregulated LINC00173 expression was found in NPC cell lines and tissues. The functional experiments uncovered that its downregulation repressed NPC cell proliferation, growth, and migration. In addition, LINC00173 knockdown hampered the NPC cells' tumorous growth in vivo. These effects could partially be reversed by downregulating miR-765. GREM1 is a downstream target of miR-765. GREM1 knockdown could repress the proliferation, growth, and migration of NPC cells. Nonetheless, these anti-tumor effects could be abolished by miR-765 downregulation. Mechanistically, LINC00173 increased the expression of GREM1 by binding with miR-765.
Conclusions: LINC00173 functions as an oncogenic factor by binding with miR-765 to promote the progression of NPC via GREM1 upregulation. This study provides a novel insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in NPC progression.
期刊介绍:
Human and Experimental Toxicology (HET), an international peer reviewed journal, is dedicated to publishing preclinical and clinical original research papers and in-depth reviews that comprehensively cover studies of functional, biochemical and structural disorders in toxicology. The principal aim of the HET is to publish timely high impact hypothesis driven scholarly work with an international scope. The journal publishes on: Structural, functional, biochemical, and molecular effects of toxic agents; Studies that address mechanisms/modes of toxicity; Safety evaluation of novel chemical, biotechnologically-derived products, and nanomaterials for human health assessment including statistical and mechanism-based approaches; Novel methods or approaches to research on animal and human tissues (medical and veterinary patients) investigating functional, biochemical and structural disorder; in vitro techniques, particularly those supporting alternative methods
