LncRNA HOXA11-AS drives cisplatin resistance of human LUAD cells via modulating miR-454-3p/Stat3.

ABSTRACT: Over the past several years, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have attracted more and more attention due to their special functions. They are vital biomarkers in multiple diseases. LncRNA HOMEOBOX A11 (HOXA11) has been found to be aberrantly expressed in some kinds of malignant tumors. In this study, we mainly discuss the oncogenic role of it in promoting malignant progression and chemoresistance in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells. The expression of HOXA11-AS was much stronger in cisplatin-resistant LUAD cells. Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas database, patients with high expression of HOXA11-AS had shorter survival time. Additionally, knockdown of HOXA11-AS caused positive changes in cell activities of LUAD. For example, cell proliferation and migration were weakened, the epithelial mesenc
