Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of LncRNA anti-differetiation non-coding RNA (ANCR) expression in tumor tissues of gastric cancer patients and its biological effects on cells.Methods:72 cases of gastric cancer tissues and corresponding adjacent tissues were collected from Sep. 2016 to Jun. 2018 in our Hospital. Gastric cancer cell HGC-27 was cultured, lentiviral transfected ANCR cDNA full-length vector was used as a Test group in HGC-27 cells, and transfected blank vector as a control group. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the expression of ANCR, transcription factor Oct4 and Sox2 mRNA in tissues or cells, Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of Oct4 and Sox2 in cells, CCK-8 assay was employed for detecting cell proliferation in both groups, and Transwell invasion and migration assay was used to detect the transfer ability of cells in the two groups.Results:The expressions of ANCR in gastric cancer and corresponding adjacent tissues were respectively 0.013 (0.006, 0.025) and 0.041 (0.011, 0.136) , and the expression of ANCR in gastric cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues ( P<0.01) , and patients with high expression of ANCR had higher TNM stage and lower cell differentiation ( χ2=7.414 and 8.236, P<0.05) . The expressions of ANCR mRNA in control group and test group were respectively 1.000±0.064 and 6.250±0.889, Oct4 mRNA were respectively 1.000±0.208 and 2.815±0.349, Sox2 mRNA were respectively 1.000±0.173 and 2.526±0.390, Oct4 protein were respectively 1.000±0.148 and 3.396±0.105, Sox2 protein were respectively 1.000±0.119 and 2.916±0.130, and the expressions of ANCR, Oct4 and Sox2 mRNA in the test group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01) ; the expression levels of Oct4 and Sox2 protein in the test group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The proliferation abilities of control group and test group were 7.164±0.426 and 9.627±0.605 in 72h, and 13.750±1.089 and 19.166±1.649 in 96h. The proliferation of cells in the Test group at 72 and 96 hours was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.01) . The average number of invasive cells per visual field in control group and test group were 17.26±5.48 and 39.43±5.21, and number of migration cells were 30.49±7.74 and 62.20±7.51, and the number of migration and invasion cells in the Test group was significantly larger than that in the control group ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The expression of LncRNA ANCR in tumor tissues of gastric cancer patients is significantly increased, and it is closely related to the progression of the disease of patients and the degree of cell malignancy. It can promote the expression of gastric cancer stem cell markers in vitro and enhance the ability of cell proliferation and metastasis.
