LINC-PINT alleviates lung cancer progression via sponging miR-543 and inducing PTEN.

ABSTRACT: Long intergenic nonprotein coding RNA p53-induced transcript (LINC-PINT) has been reported to participate in various cancers. Here, we investigated the effects of LINC-PINT on lung cancer progression. Firstly, in our study, we implied that LINC-PINT was obviously decreased in NSCLC. Thereafter, in A549 and H1299 cells, LINC-PINT was upregulated via transfecting LV-LINC-PINT. As exhibited, LINC-PINT repressed cell proliferation and cell colony formation of A549 and H1299 cells. Subsequently, flow cytometry evidenced that A549 and H1299 cell apoptosis was obviously triggered and the cell cycle was arrested in G1 phase. Then, migration and transwell invasion experiments were carried out to detect the cell migration and invasion capacity. We found A549 and H1299 cell migration and invasion cap
