SNHG16 promotes tumorigenesis and cisplatin resistance by regulating miR-338-3p/PLK4 pathway in neuroblastoma cells.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long noncoding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (lncRNA SNHG16) has been revealed to be involved in the tumorigenesis of neuroblastoma. However, the role of SNHG16 in regulating cisplatin sensitivity in neuroblastoma remains largely unknown.

Methods

The expression of SNHG16, microRNA (miR)-338-3p and polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) mRNA was measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The protein levels of PLK4, multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), multidrug-resistance gene 1-type p-glycoprotein (P-gp) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway-related proteins were detected by Western blot. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value, cell proliferation, migration and invasion were analyzed using Cell Counti
