Regulatory mechanisms and function of hypoxia-induced long noncoding RNA NDRG1-OT1 in breast cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Hypoxia is a classic feature of the tumor microenvironment that has profound effects on cancer progression and is tightly associated with poor prognosis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), a component of the noncoding genome, have been increasingly investigated due to their diverse roles in tumorigenesis. Previously, a hypoxia-induced lncRNA, NDRG1-OT1, was identified in MCF-7 breast cancer cells using next-generation sequencing. However, the regulatory mechanisms of NDRG1-OT1 remain elusive. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the regulatory mechanisms and functional roles of NDRG1-OT1 in breast cancer cells. Expression profiling of NDRG1-OT1 revealed that it was upregulated under hypoxia in different breast cancer cells. Overexpression and knockdown of HIF-1α up- and down
