Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) XIST has been implicated in the progression of a variety of tumor diseases. The purpose of this study was to explore the molecular role of lncRNA XIST in human hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The expression levels of lncRNA XIST, miR-192 and TRIM25 in HBV-related HCC tissues and HepG2.2.15 cells were detected by qRT-PCR. Biological information and luciferin gene reporter assay were performed to detect the interaction among lncRNA XIST, miR-192 and TRIM25. CCk-8 assay, wound healing assay and colony formation assay were conducted to detect the proliferation and migration ability of HepG2.2.15 cells.
qRT-PCR results showed that the expression levels of lncRNA XIST were remarkably increased in HBV-related HCC tissues and HepG2.2.15 cells. In addition, miR-192 was a direct target gene of lncRNA XIST, and the expression of miR-192 and lncRNA XIST were negatively correlated. Moreover, overexpression of miR-192 observably inhibited the proliferation and migration of HCC cells, while overexpression of lncRNA XIST showed an opposite effect. Furthermore, TRIM25 was a direct target of miR-192, and lncRNA XIST could up-regulate the expression of TRIM25 by targeting miR-192.
LncRNA XIST could up-regulate the expression of TRIM25 by targeting and binding to miR-192, thus accelerating the occurrence and development of HCC.
长链非编码 RNA(lncRNA)XIST 参与多种肿瘤疾病的进展。本研究旨在探讨 lncRNA XIST 在乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)相关肝细胞癌(HCC)中的分子作用。
通过 qRT-PCR 检测 HBV 相关 HCC 组织和 HepG2.2.15 细胞中 lncRNA XIST、miR-192 和 TRIM25 的表达水平。进行生物信息学和荧光素酶基因报告实验,以检测 lncRNA XIST、miR-192 和 TRIM25 之间的相互作用。通过 CCK-8 测定、划痕愈合测定和集落形成测定来检测 HepG2.2.15 细胞的增殖和迁移能力。
qRT-PCR 结果显示,lncRNA XIST 在 HBV 相关 HCC 组织和 HepG2.2.15 细胞中的表达水平显著升高。此外,miR-192 是 lncRNA XIST 的直接靶基因,miR-192 和 lncRNA XIST 的表达呈负相关。此外,miR-192 的过表达显著抑制 HCC 细胞的增殖和迁移,而过表达 lncRNA XIST 则表现出相反的效果。此外,TRIM25 是 miR-192 的直接靶基因,lncRNA XIST 可以通过靶向结合 miR-192 而上调 TRIM25 的表达。
