ITGB1-DT Facilitates Lung Adenocarcinoma Progression via Forming a Positive Feedback Loop With ITGB1/Wnt/β-Catenin/MYC.

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the main histological type of lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were recently revealed to be involved in various cancers. However, the clinical relevance and potential biological roles of most lncRNAs in LUAD remain unclear. Here, we identified a prognosis-related lncRNA ITGB1-DT in LUAD. ITGB1-DT was upregulated in LUAD and high expression of ITGB1-DT was correlated with advanced clinical stages and poor overall survival and disease-free survival. Enhanced expression of ITGB1-DT facilitated LUAD cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion, and also lung metastasis in vivo. Knockdown of ITGB1-DT repressed LUAD cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion. ITGB1-DT interacted with EZH2
