LncRNA MIR99AHG mediated by FOXA1 modulates NOTCH2/Notch signaling pathway to accelerate pancreatic cancer through sponging miR-3129-5p and recruiting ELAVL1.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pancreatic cancer (PCa) is a fatal malignancy with poor prognosis, high recurrence and mortality. Substantial reports have suggested long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in development of numerous malignant tumors, and PCa is included. However, the correlation between novel lncRNA mir-99a-let-7c cluster host gene (MIR99AHG) and PCa remains elusive and needs to be deeply investigated.

Methods

In this study, we firstly used RT-qPCR to examine MIR99AHG expression. Functional assays were implemented for determination of the role of MIR99AHG in PCa cells. Mechanism experiments were designed and carried out for exploring the regulatory mechanism involving MIR99AHG.

Results

MIR99AHG was distinctly overexpressed in PCa cell lines. MIR99AHG deficiency abrog
