Hypoxia-induced lncRNA MRVI1-AS1 accelerates hepatocellular carcinoma progression by recruiting RNA-binding protein CELF2 to stabilize SKA1 mRNA.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) perform a vital role during the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we aimed to identify a novel lncRNA involved in HCC development and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism.

Methods

The RT-qPCR and TCGA dataset analysis were applied to explore the expressions of MRVI1-AS1 in HCC tissues and cell lines. Statistical analysis was applied to analyze the clinical significance of MRVI1-AS1 in HCC. The functions of MRVI1-AS1 in HCC cells metastasis and growth were explored by transwell assays, wound healing assay, MTT assay, EdU assay, the intravenous transplantation tumor model, and the subcutaneous xenograft tumor model. Microarray mRNA expression analysis, dual luciferase assays, and actinomycin D treatment were
