Interaction between ACOT7 and LncRNA NMRAL2P via Methylation Regulates Gastric Cancer Progression.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Gastric cancer (GC) has a very poor prognosis when diagnosed at a late stage. Acyl-CoA thioesterase 7 (ACOT7) is a major isoform of the acyl coenzyme family that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fatty acyl-CoAs into unesterified free fatty acid and coenzyme A. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression levels of ACOT7 in GC and mechanisms related therewith.

Materials and methods

Screening of systematic biology studies revealed ACOT7 as a key gene in GC, as well as involvement of the long non-coding RNA NMRAL2P in ACOT7 expression. In this study, GC tissues and adjacent tissue samples were obtained from 10 GC patients at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery. GES1 and SGC-7901 cells were collected and treated to silence ACOT7 and overexpress NMRAL2P.
