LINC01123 facilitates proliferation, invasion and chemoresistance of colon cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Colon cancer is one of the major causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC01123 has been suggested to act as an oncogene in non-small cell lung cancer and a prognostic signature in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. However, its role in colon cancer remains obscure. From TCGA database, LINC01123 was observed to be up-regulated in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). Subsequently, the up-regulated LINC01123 was also detected in colon cancer cells. Functionally, LINC01123 could enhance cell proliferation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis. Moreover, the chemoresistance of colon cancer cells was verified to be promoted by LINC01123. Afterward, LINC01123 was found to bind with Ago2 and miR-34c-5p. Besides, miR-34c-5p was confirmed to inhibit the cellular proce
