Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common malignant cancers worldwide with a high death rate worldwide. Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) has been recently demonstrated to play a critical role in ESCC. LncRNA HOTAIR played important regulatory roles in ESCC. We highlight the molecular mechanisms by which HOTAIR could influence the expression of Hexokinase 2 (HK2) in ESCC through binding miR-125 and miR-143 directly. Taken together, this study identified a functional lncRNA HOTAIR involved with regulation of glycolysis via miRNA-125/miRNA-143-HK2 in ESCC cells. The "competitive endogenous RNA" (ceRNA) model of HOTAIR/miR-125 and miR143/HK2 interaction might serve as important targets for ESCC diagnosis and therapy.
食管鳞状细胞癌(ESCC)是全球最常见的恶性肿瘤之一,死亡率很高。长链非编码RNA(LncRNA)最近已被证明在ESCC中起关键作用。LncRNA HOTAIR在ESCC中发挥重要的调控作用。我们着重介绍了HOTAIR通过直接结合miR-125和miR-143影响ESCC中己糖激酶2(HK2)表达的分子机制。综上所述,本研究确定了一种功能性lncRNA HOTAIR,它通过miRNA-125/miRNA-143-HK2参与ESCC细胞糖酵解的调控。HOTAIR/miR-125和miR143/HK2相互作用的“竞争性内源RNA”(ceRNA)模型可能成为ESCC诊断和治疗的重要靶点。
