Hypoxia-induced feedback of HIF-1α and lncRNA-CF129 contributes to pancreatic cancer progression through stabilization of p53 protein.

ABSTRACT: Rationale: Emerging evidences have highlighted the critical roles of lncRNAs in human cancer development. The work sought to assess the biological role and potential underlying mechanisms of lncRNA-CF129 (CF129) which is significantly reduced in pancreatic cancer (PC). Methods: CF129 expression and its association with multiple clinicopathologic characteristics in PC specimens were analyzed. The role of CF129 both in vitro and in vivo was assessed, with RNA pull-down and immunoprecipitation assays being performed to detect the interaction between CF129 and p53 and E3 ligase MKRN1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays were utilized to identify the interaction between p53 and FOXC2 promoter, HIF-1α/HDAC1 complex and CF129 promoter, FOXC2 and HIF-1α
