Although long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been associated with a variety of cancers, the interplay between lncRNAs and androgen receptor signaling in prostate cancer is still unclear. We identified an androgen-dependent lncRNA, POTEF-AS1, whose expression was regulated by androgen receptor in two androgen-dependent cells by using directional RNA sequencing analysis. POTEF-AS1 promoted cell growth, repressed genes related to the Toll-like receptor signaling and apoptosis pathways, and inhibited apoptosis in docetaxel-treated LNCaP cells. These findings suggest that POTEF-AS1 would play a key role in the progression of prostate cancer by repressing Toll-like receptor signaling.
尽管长链非编码RNA(lncRNAs)已被证实与多种癌症相关,但lncRNAs与前列腺癌中雄激素受体信号传导之间的相互作用仍不清楚。我们通过定向RNA测序分析,在两种雄激素依赖细胞中鉴定出一种雄激素依赖性lncRNA,即POTEF-AS1,其表达受雄激素受体调控。POTEF-AS1促进细胞生长,抑制与Toll样受体信号传导和凋亡途径相关的基因,并抑制多西他赛处理的LNCaP细胞的凋亡。这些发现表明,POTEF-AS1可能通过抑制Toll样受体信号传导在前列腺癌进展中发挥关键作用。
