Abstract:
Objective To investigate the role of Insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 1(IGF2BP1)and long non-coding RNA LINC00160(LINC00160)in gastric cancer,and its potential mechanism of regulating the proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells.Methods Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the expression level of LINC00160 in gastric cancer tissues and cells.Bioinformatics prediction,RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation(RIP)and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation(MeRIP)were used to verify the binding effect of LINC00160 and IGF2BP1.The correlation between the expression of LINC00160 and IGF2BP1 in gastric cancer tissues was analyzed by Pearson assay.CCK-8 assay and Transwell assay were used to detect cell proliferation and invasion.The changes of aerobic glycolysis index[glucose intake,lactate production,and Adenosine-triphosphate(ATP),extracellular acidification rate(ECAR)and oxygen consumption rate(OCR)]were detected and analyzed.Results Compared with normal tissues,the expression of LINC00160 in gastric cancer tissues(5.13±0.62 vs 1.02±0.03)was significantly up-regulated,and the difference was statistically significant(t=-36.266,P<0.001).The expression level of LINC00160 in gastric cancer cells was higher than that of human normal gastric epithelial cell line GES-1,and the difference was statistically significant(F=24.595,P<0.001).Compared with the control group,silenting LINC00160 significantly inhibited the proliferation(0.42±0.03 vs 1.03±0.04)and invasion(22.13%±1.97%vs 42.15%±2.67%)of AGS cells,decreased glucose uptake(2.11±0.26mmol/L vs 4.22±0.37mmol/L)and lactate production(6.84±1.25mmol/L vs 11.68±1.55mmol/L),decreased ECAR,and increased ATP(3.34±0.29mmol/L vs 1.87±0.24mmol/L)levels and OCR,and the differences were statistically significant(t=4.188～24.423,all P<0.01).The expression of IGF2BP1 protein in gastric cancer tissues(4.07±0.36)was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues(1.01±0.03),and the difference was statistically significant(t=-46.396,P<0.01),and was positively correlated with the expression of LINC00160(r2=0.774 5,P<0.01).Mechanistic studies revealed that IGF2BP1 upregulated LINC00160 expression by binding m6A modified LINC00160 to promote its stability.Silencing IGF2BP1 significantly inhibited the expression of LINC00160 and the proliferation,invasion and aerobic glycolysis of gastric cancer cells,and the differences were statistically significant(t=4.386～11.989,all P<0.01).Overexpression of LINC00160 reversed the effect of IGF2BP1 silencing on AGS cells.Conclusion LINC00160 is significantly up-regulated in gastric cancer,and IGF2BP1 may stably regulate the expression of LINC00160 through m6A modification,promote the aerobic glycolysis of tumor cells,and participate in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer.
