LncRNA MNX1-AS1 contributes to lung adenocarcinoma progression by targeting the miR-34a/SIRT1 axis.

ABSTRACT: LncRNA MNX1-AS1 is known to be involved in progression of several tumor types. However, few studies have investigated the molecular mechanism of MNX1-AS1 in lung adenocarcinoma (LAC). To explore the function of MNX1-AS1 in the pathogenesis of LAC, qRT-PCR was performed to show MNX1-AS1 expression. MNX1-AS1 expression in LAC cells was suppressed by siRNA to detect the biologic behavior. The relationships among miR-34a, MNX1-AS1 and SIRT1 were confirmed by pull-down and dual-luciferase reporter assay. Whether MNX1-AS1 was involved in LAC by targeting miR-34a/SIRT1 axis was verified. MNX1-AS1 was up-regulated in LAC, and over-expression of MNX1-AS1 was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis. In A549 and H1299 cells, cell proliferation, migration, and invasion w
