Emerging evidence suggests that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays pivotal roles in regulating various biological process in human cancers. Titin-antisense RNA1 (TTN-AS1) has been regarded as a tumor promoting lncRNA in numerous cancers. However, the clinical significance and biological function of TTN-AS1 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remain unclear. In the present study, we revealed that the expression of TTN-AS1 was upregulated in LUAD tissues and cell lines. High TTN-AS1 expression was associated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis of LUAD patients. In addition, high expression of TTN-AS1 was correlated with poor postoperative prognosis of LUAD patients. Knockdown of TTN-AS1 significantly inhibited the growth, proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of LUAD cells in vitro. Then, by using bioinformation analysis and luciferase reporter experiment, we identified that TTN-AS1 could function as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by sponging miR-142-5p to regulate the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) in LUAD. Since CDK5 is a key regulator in the process of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), we detected the expression of EMT-related proteins, consequently, EMT was suppressed by knockdown of TTN-AS1 while this phenomenon was rescued by miR-142-5p inhibitor. Taken above, our study revealed that TTN-AS1 played an important role in LUAD progression. TTN-AS1/miR-142-5p/CDK5 regulatory axis may serve as a novel therapeutic target in the treatment of LUAD.
越来越多的证据表明,长链非编码 RNA(lncRNA)在人类癌症中调控各种生物学过程中起着关键作用。在许多癌症中,肌联蛋白反义 RNA1(TTN-AS1)被认为是一种促进肿瘤的 lncRNA。然而,TTN-AS1 在肺腺癌(LUAD)中的临床意义和生物学功能尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们揭示了 TTN-AS1 在 LUAD 组织和细胞系中的表达上调。TTN-AS1 高表达与 LUAD 患者的 TNM 分期和淋巴结转移有关。此外,TTN-AS1 高表达与 LUAD 患者术后不良预后相关。TTN-AS1 敲低显著抑制 LUAD 细胞在体外的生长、增殖、迁移和侵袭能力。然后,通过生物信息分析和荧光素酶报告实验,我们发现 TTN-AS1 可以作为竞争性内源性 RNA(ceRNA),通过海绵吸附 miR-142-5p 来调节 LUAD 中细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶 5(CDK5)的表达。由于 CDK5 是上皮间质转化(EMT)过程中的关键调节因子,我们检测了 EMT 相关蛋白的表达,结果显示,TTN-AS1 敲低抑制 EMT,而 miR-142-5p 抑制剂则可逆转这一现象。综上所述,我们的研究表明 TTN-AS1 在 LUAD 进展中发挥重要作用。TTN-AS1/miR-142-5p/CDK5 调控轴可能成为治疗 LUAD 的新的治疗靶点。
