LncRNA NONHSAT227443.1 Confers Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Chemotherapy Resistance by Activating PI3K/AKT Signaling via Targeting MRTFB.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Esophageal cancer presents significant challenges due to limited treatment options and poor prognosis, particularly in advanced stages. Dysregulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in cancer progression and treatment resistance. This study investigated the roles of dysregulated lncRNA NONHSAT227443.1, identified through lncRNA-seq, and its downstream target gene MRTFB in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Methods

Dysregulated lncRNAs were identified through lncRNA-seq in esophageal cancer tissues with varying chemotherapy response. The regulatory interaction of overexpressed NONHSAT227443.1 was assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting. Functional assays, including cell viability, cell pr
