MATN1-AS1 promotes glioma progression by functioning as ceRNA of miR-200b/c/429 to regulate CHD1 expression.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MATN1-AS1 is a newfound lncRNA that has been rarely explored in cancers. Herein, we would like to investigate its role in glioma.

Materials and methods

qRT-PCR was conducted to examine gene expression in glioma. Then, MTT assay, colony formation assay and flow cytometry analysis were applied to evaluate the function of MATN1-AS1 on glioma cells. Western blot was performed to measure the protein levels of genes. Besides, the luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down assay, RIP assay and Spearman's correlation analysis were also performed as needed.

Results

Firstly, a data from TCGA showed that MATN1-AS1 might be largely implicated in glioma. Meanwhile, MATN1-AS1 upregulation confirmed in glioma predicted poor clinical outcomes. Fu
