DUBR suppresses migration and invasion of human lung adenocarcinoma cells via ZBTB11-mediated inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation.

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in a variety of cancers, but the role of LncRNA DUBR in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the most prevalent form of lung cancer, remains unclear. In this study we investigated the expression of DUBR in LUAD to ascertain its association with the clinical pathology and prognosis of LUAD. Analysis of mRNA expression in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) LUAD database and in-house LUAD cohort (n = 94) showed that DUBR was significantly downregulated in LUAD, and was associated with poor prognosis. In LUAD cell lines (H1975, A549), overexpression of DUBR significantly suppressed the migration and invasion of the LUAD cells. We demonstrated that c-Myc could bind to the promoter of DUBR, and transcriptionally suppressed its expression. Knockdown of c-Myc almost c
