The role of DCST1-AS1 has been investigated in several types of cancer, while the role of DCST1-AS1 in glioblastoma (GBM) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of DCST1-AS1 in GBM.
GBM and paired non-tumor tissues were collected from 62 GBM patients. Expression levels of DCST1-AS1 and miR-29b in paired tissue samples were determined by RT-qPCR. The role of DCST1-AS1 in regulating the methylation of miR-29b was assessed by methylation-specific PCR (MSP). Cell proliferation was analyzed by cell proliferation assay.
It was observed that the upregulation of DCST1-AS1 in GBM predicted poor survival. MiR-29b was downregulated in GBM and inversely correlated with the expression of DCST1-AS1. In GBM cells, overexpression of DCST1-AS1 resulted in the downregulation of miR-29b and the increased methylation level of miR-29b gene. Overexpression of DCST1-AS1 resulted in increased cell proliferation. Moreover, Overexpression of DCST1-AS1 significantly reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-29b on cancer cell proliferation.
DCST1-AS1 may downregulate miR-29b through methylation in GBM to promote cancer cell proliferation.
DCST1-AS1 在几种类型的癌症中作用已被研究,而其在胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)中的作用尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨 DCST1-AS1 在 GBM 中的作用。
收集 62 例 GBM 患者的 GBM 组织及配对的非肿瘤组织。采用 RT-qPCR 检测配对组织样本中 DCST1-AS1 和 miR-29b 的表达水平。通过甲基化特异性 PCR(MSP)评估 DCST1-AS1 调节 miR-29b 甲基化的作用。通过细胞增殖实验分析细胞增殖情况。
研究发现,GBM 中 DCST1-AS1 的上调预示着不良的生存。miR-29b 在 GBM 中下调,与 DCST1-AS1 的表达呈负相关。在 GBM 细胞中,过表达 DCST1-AS1 导致 miR-29b 下调和 miR-29b 基因的甲基化水平增加。过表达 DCST1-AS1 导致细胞增殖增加。此外,过表达 DCST1-AS1 显著逆转了 miR-29b 对癌细胞增殖的抑制作用。
在 GBM 中,DCST1-AS1 可能通过甲基化下调 miR-29b 以促进癌细胞增殖。
