Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to perform significant roles in cancer development and progression. Our research has found that a novel lncRNA n326322 was higher in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. Moreover, the gain and loss of functional approaches revealed that the overexpression of lncRNA-n326322 promoted NPC cell proliferation and invasion, whereas the downregulation of lncRNA-n326322 suppressed cell proliferation and invasion. Further experiments demonstrated that potential mechanism may be associated with the activation of PI3K/AKT and ERK/MAPK pathways. Taken together, these results indicate that lncRNA-n326322 is associated with tumorigenesis of NPC.
据报道,长链非编码RNA(lncRNAs)在癌症的发生和发展中发挥着重要作用。我们的研究发现,一种新型lncRNA n326322在鼻咽癌(NPC)细胞中表达较高。此外,功能获得和缺失实验表明,lncRNA-n326322的过表达促进了NPC细胞的增殖和侵袭,而lncRNA-n326322的下调则抑制了细胞的增殖和侵袭。进一步的实验表明,潜在机制可能与PI3K/AKT和ERK/MAPK信号通路的激活有关。综上所述,这些结果表明lncRNA-n326322与NPC的肿瘤发生有关。
