Long non-coding RNA NORAD promotes the occurrence and development of non-small cell lung cancer by adsorbing MiR-656-3p.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore the role of non-coding RNA activated by DNA damage (NORAD), a long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA), in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its possible mechanism.

Methods

Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was adopted for the detection of the expression levels of NORAD, micro RNA (miR)-656-3p, and AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1). The effects of NORAD, miR-656-3p, and AKT1 on cell proliferation and migration were examined through the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assay. Subsequently, the binding relationships between miR-656-3p and AKT1 and between miR-656-3p and NORAD were verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Finally, the potential mechanisms of action of NORAD and miR-656-3p were explored through the t
