LncRNA AC010789.1 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression by Targeting MicroRNA-432-3p/ZEB1 Axis and the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Accumulating literatures have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial molecules in tumor progression in various human cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the clinical significance and regulatory mechanism of a vast majority of lncRNAs in CRC remain to be determined. The current study aimed to explore the function and molecular mechanism of lncRNA AC010789.1 in CRC progression. AC010789.1 found to be overexpressed in CRC tissues and cells. High expression of AC010789.1 was associated with lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis. Moreover, AC010789.1 silencing inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro as well as tumorigenesis and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that repression of
