Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the dyna mic change of lncRNA expression during lung carcino-genesis induced by urethane.METHODS A total of 40 BALB/c mice received weekly ip injection of urethane 1 g·kg -1 for four continuous weeks,mice were euthanized at 12th week or 24th week after the first urethane treat ment,respectively.The RNA of lung tissues were isolated and used for microarray analysis.Based on the results of the microarray we selected lncRNA-AK017233 for additional qPCR analysis in individual mouse.RESULTS The incidence of lung cancer were 85% and 100% at 12th week and 24th week after the first ad ministration of urethane,respectively.The multiplicity and dia meter of lung tu mors in 24 weeks treated group were statistically significant fro m those in 12 weeks treated group (P<0.01 ),and pathological analysis showed that tu mors were classifiable as moderately differ-entiated adenocarcino ma.Total of 26 Down-regulated lncRNAs in which lncRNA-AK017233 stand for the most down-regulated lncRNA were identified by microcarray analysis.qPCR detected that the lncRNA-AK017233 was significantly altered by 0.33 ti mes in lung tu mors of urethane treated group at 12th week, co mpared to parallel lung tissues in urethane treated group at 12th week.AK017233 expression of ure-thane treated group was significantly reduced by 0.22 ti mes at 24th week,co mpared to parallel lung tis-sues in urethane treated group at 24th week.CONCLUSION LncRNA-AK017233 was consistently down-regulated during urethane induced lung carcinogenesis.
