Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of long non-coding RNA (Linc01278) on the proliferation, invasion and migration, and tumor phenotype of prostate cancer cells.Methods:Prostate cancer tissues and corresponding normal tissues adjacent to the cancer were obtained in 46 patients with prostate cancer confirmed by the hospital from Dec. 2018 to Dec. 2019. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of Linc01278 and miR-145 in prostate cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues. The prostate cancer PC-3 cells were transfected with plasmids and cells were divided into four groups: blank group, control group, overexpression group and rescue group. The blank group was not given any treatment; the control group was transfected with blank control vector and miRNA Control; the overexpression group was transfected with Linc01278 overexpression vector and miRNA Control; the rescue group was transfected with Linc01278 overexpression vector and miR-145 mimics. Bioinformatics analysis was used to predict the binding site of Linc01278 to miR-145. Dual Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay was used to analyze the adsorption of Linc01278 on miR-145; Transwell experiment was used to detect the invasion and migration ability of the four groups of cells; CCK-8 method was used to detect the cell proliferation ability of the four groups of cells. Western blot was used to detect the expression of OCT4 and SOX2 in the four groups of cells; qPCR was used to detect the expression of OCT4, SOX2 and miR-145 in the four groups of cells.Results:Compared with adjacent normal tissues, Linc01278 was significantly higher in prostate cancer tissues (adjacent normal tissues: 0.012±0.002 vs prostate cancer tissues: 0.022±0.002, P=0.0072) , while miR-145 was significantly lower (adjacent normal tissues: 0.117±0.011 vs prostate cancer tissues: 0.081±0.007, P=0.0005) . Correlation of both was negative significantly ( P=0.0012) . Targetscan analysis revealed that the 804-825 position of the Linc01278 transcript had a complementary base pairing with miR-145. The results of the double luciferase reporter gene showed that miR-145 mimics could significantly reduce the luciferase activity of Linc01278 ( P<0.01) . Compared with the blank group and the control group, the invasion and migration cells, the relative proliferation ability, the expression of Oct4 and Sox2 mRNA and protein were significantly increased, and the expression of miR-145 was significantly decreased in the overexpression group ( P<0.05) . While compared with the overexpression group, the invasion and migration cells, the relative proliferation ability, Oct4 and Sox2 were significantly decreased in the rescue group, and the expression of miR-145 was significantly increased ( P<0.01) . Conclusion:Linc01278 may promote the proliferation, invasion and migration of prostate cancer cells by specifically adsorbing miR-145.
