SNHG3 could promote prostate cancer progression through reducing methionine dependence of PCa cells.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, morbidity and mortality of prostate cancer (PCa) have increased dramatically, while mechanistic understanding of its onset and progression remains unmet. LncRNA SNHG3 has been proved to stimulate malignant progression of multiple cancers, whereas its functional mechanism in PCa needs to be deciphered. In this study, our analysis in the TCGA database revealed high SNHG3 expression in PCa tissue. Further analysis in starBase, TargetScan, and mirDIP databases identified the SNHG3/miR-152-3p/SLC7A11 regulatory axis. FISH was conducted to assess the distribution of SNHG3 in PCa tissue. Dual-luciferase reporter gene and RIP assays confirmed the relationship among the three objects. Next, qRT-PCR and western blot were conducted to measure expression levels of SNHG3, miR-152-3p, a
