Long non-coding RNA in prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in males and its development and progression remains an important area of study. Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been evidenced as key players in cancer pathogenesis. Specifically, dysregulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression has shown to affect tumor proliferation and metastasis, acting as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes. However, its specific mechanisms and functions in prostate cancer remain unclear. This review provides an overview of currently available information on prostate cancer-related lncRNAs, including GAS5, GAS-007, MEG3, PCA3, PCAT14, PCAT1, PVT1, UCA1, SChLAP1, MALAT1, HOTAIR, and NEAT1. Notable tumor growth inhibitors include GAS5 and MEG3. GAS5 is evidenced to interfere with the AKT/MTOR signaling pathway through targeting microRNA mir-103. MEG3, however, is proposed to inhibit the cycle, sponge miR-9-5p, and induce gene silencing. PCAT1, PVT1, and UCA1 are important tumor growth promoters. PCAT1 is indicated to be a transcriptional repressor, a mir-145-5P sponge, and a P13K/AKT pathway activator. Studies suggest that PVT1 acts via microRNA targeting and regulating proliferating cell nuclear antigen. UCA1 may sponge miR-204 and miR-331-3p as well as regulate myosin VI. Thorough understanding of these lncRNAs may elucidate new aspects of prostate cancer pathology and serve a pivotal role in developing novel diagnostic and prognostic techniques.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important biological factors that contribute to the initiation and progression of different types of cancer, including gastric, bladder and colorectal cancer. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 3 (SNHG3) has been implicated in prostate cancer (PCa) progression. However, the expression pattern and function of SNHG3 in PCa remain unclear, impeding the development of novel treatment strategies for this cancer. The present study aimed to investigate a combination of molecular and biochemical approaches to determine the role of SNHG3 in patients at different stages of disease, and elucidate the pathway by which SNHG3 affects PCa progression. A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to assess cell proliferation. Transwell assays were used to analyze cell migration and invasion. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to evaluate the expression levels of RNAs and proteins, respectively. The results demonstrated that SNHG3 expression was upregulated in PCa tissues downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, which was associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, cell proliferation, migration and invasion were significantly inhibited following SNHG3 knockdown in vitro, the effects of which were reversed following overexpression of SNHG3 in PCa cells. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that microRNA (miRNA/miR)-1827 was a downstream target of SNHG3. The direct interaction between SNHG3 and miR-1827 was validated via the dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Pearson's correlation analysis demonstrated that SNHG3 expression was negatively correlated with miR-1827 expression at different stages of PCa. Furthermore, rescue assays indicated that cotransfection with small interfering-SNHG3 and miR-1827 inhibitor reversed the effects of SNHG3 knockdown on cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In addition, SNHG3 knockdown in vivo suppressed tumor growth. Notably, lncRNA SNHG3 promoted PCa progression through miR-1827 via the Wnt/AKT/mTOR pathway. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that SNHG3 promotes PCa progression by sponging miR-1827, indicating that SNHG3 may be a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target of PCa.
