LncRNA JPX promotes cervical cancer progression by modulating miR-25-3p/SOX4 axis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) JPX is a molecular switch for X-chromosome inactivation. Accumulating studies have shown that the aberrant expression and function of lncRNAs are involved in the occurrence and development of tumors. However, the functional importance and mechanism of the action of lncRNA JPX in cervical cancer (CC) remain unknown.

Method

In this study, qRT-PCR and western blotting were used to evaluate the mRNA or protein expression of JPX, miR-25-3p and SOX4 in CC tissues and cell lines. StarBase v2.0 database, luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay were used to explore the relationship between JPX and miR-25-3p. EdU assay, CCK-8 assay and transwell assay were utilized to evaluate the proliferation, migration and invasion of C
