Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of long non-coding RNA Wilms tumor 1 associated protein pseudogene 1(WTAPP1)on the proliferation,invasion,migration and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway of nephroblastoma cells. Methods:Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the relative expression level of WTAPP1 in 48 cases of nephroblastoma tumor tissues and their matched adjacent tissues,human nephroblastoma cells(SK-NEP-1)and normal renal epithelial cells(PCS-400-01 0,PCS-400-011 and PCS-400-01 2).The clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of nephroblastoma patients with high or low WTAPP1 expression of were analyzed and compared.SK-NEP-1 cells were infected with lentivirus carrying the full-length WTAPP]gene(WTAPP1 overexpression)or shRNA targeting WTAPP1(shWTAPP1).Then,colony formation assay and CCK-8 assay were used to assess the proliferation of SK-NEP-1 cells,wound healing assay and Transwell assay were used to evaluate the migration and invasion activity of SK-NEP-1 cells respectively,and Western blotting was used to examine the relative expression levels of Wnt3a,β-catenin,C-myc and Survivin proteins. Results:The relative expression level of WTAPP1 in cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues(P＜0.05).The relative expression level of WTAPP1 in SK-NEP-1 cells was higher than that in normal renal epithelial cells(PCS-400-01 0,PCS-400-01 1 and PCS-400-01 2;P＜0.05).WTAPP1 expression was associated with the clinical stages of nephroblastoma(P＜0.05)but not with the age,gender,tumor diameter or lymph node metastasis of nephroblastoma patients(all P＞0.05).The 5-year survival rate of WTAPP1-high patients was significantly lower than that of WTAPP1-low patients(P＜0.05).The proliferation,migration and invasion activities of SK-NEP-1 cells were significantly increased after WTAPP1 overexpression(all P＜0.05)while decreased after WTAPP1 silencing(all P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of Wnt3a,β-catenin,C-myc and Survivin proteins were significantly upregulated after WTAPP1 overexpression(all P＜0.05)while decreased after WTAPP1 silencing(all P＜0.05). Conclusion:WTAPP1 is correlated with the clinical stages and prognosis of nephroblastoma patients and may promote the proliferation,invasion and migration of tumor cells by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
