■研究证实,人类基因组中部分非编码基因在前列腺癌的发病机制和转移中起重要作用。其中,长链非编码RNA(lncRNAs)参与前列腺癌的生物学调控。此外,lncRNAs与复发密切相关,前列腺癌的转移和预后。然而,lncRNAs调控前列腺癌细胞生长和转移的分子机制尚不清楚.因此,本研究旨在探讨lncRNARAMS11在前列腺癌细胞生长和转移中的作用及机制。
■收集2013年3月至2014年9月在福建医科大学附属泉州市第一医院确诊的42例前列腺癌及癌旁组织标本。微阵列实验和实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)测量lncRNA的表达。RWPE-2,LNCap,PC3和DU145细胞用于体外模型。
■lncRNARAMS11的表达在前列腺癌组织样品中上调。LncRNARAMS11促进前列腺癌细胞生长和转移。lncRNARAMS11的下调减弱了前列腺癌细胞的细胞生长和转移。我们还证明了lncRNARAMS11与CBX4结合以激活Top2α的表达。LncRNARAMS11在小鼠模型中促进前列腺癌的肿瘤生长。CBX4的抑制减弱了lncRNAAMS11在前列腺癌细胞中的促癌症作用,而Top2α的激活减弱了si-lncRNARAMS11在前列腺癌细胞中的抗癌作用。
■我们的结果表明,lncRNARAMS11通过与Top2α结合,通过CBX4复合物促进前列腺癌的细胞生长和转移,并可能被开发用于治疗前列腺癌。
UNASSIGNED: Studies have confirmed that parts of the non-coding genes in the human genome play an important role in the pathogenesis and metastasis of prostate cancer. Among them, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are vitally involved in the biological regulation of prostate cancer. In addition, lncRNAs are closely associated with the recurrence, metastasis and prognosis of prostate cancer. However, the molecular pathogenesis of lncRNAs in regulating cell growth and metastasis of prostate cancer remains unclear. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the function and mechanism of lncRNA RAMS11 in cell growth and metastasis of prostate cancer.
UNASSIGNED: Prostate cancer and para-carcinoma tissue samples were obtained from 42 patients who were diagnosed from March 2013 to September 2014 at Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University. Microarray experiments and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measured the expression of lncRNA. RWPE-2, LNCap, PC3 and DU145 cells were used for an in vitro model.
UNASSIGNED: The expression of lncRNA RAMS11 was up-regulated in prostate cancer tissue samples. LncRNA RAMS11 promoted cell growth and metastasis of prostate cancer cells. Down-regulation of lncRNA RAMS11 attenuated cell growth and metastasis of prostate cancer cells. We also demonstrated that lncRNA RAMS11 bound to CBX4 to activate expression of
Top2α. LncRNA RAMS11 promoted tumor growth of prostate cancer in the mouse model. The inhibition of CBX4 attenuated the pro-cancer effects of lncRNA AMS11 in prostate cancer cells, while the activation of
Top2α attenuated the anti-cancer effects of si-lncRNA RAMS11 in prostate cancer cells.
UNASSIGNED: Our results indicated that lncRNA RAMS11 promoted cell growth and metastasis of prostate cancer by CBX4 complex via binding to
Top2α, and might be developed for the treatment of prostate cancer.
