Abnormal expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) plays a prominent role in glioma progression. However, the biological function and mechanism of lncRNA DLGAP1 antisense RNA 1 (DLGAP1-AS1) in gliomas are still unknown.
The authors assessed DLGAP1-AS1 and miR-628-5p expression in glioma tissues and cell lines using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and evaluated their effects on glioma cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, Transwell assay, and western blot, respectively. The expression of DEAD-box helicase 59 (DDX59) was quantified using western blotting, and a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to detect the interaction between DLGAP1-AS1 and miR-628-5p.
The authors observed increased DLGAP1-AS1 expression in glioma tissues and cell lines with higher WHO grades and shorter survival time. DLGAP1-AS1 promoted the proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of glioma cells, while miR-628-5p counteracted these effects. The authors identified DLGAP1-AS1 as a molecular sponge of miR-628-5p in glioma cells as the biological functions of DLGAP1-AS1 are partially mediated via miR-628-5p. In addition, DLGAP1-AS1 upregulated DDX59 expression by inhibiting miR-628-5p expression.

长链非编码 RNA(lncRNA)的异常表达在神经胶质瘤的进展中起着重要作用。然而,lncRNA DLGAP1 反义 RNA 1(DLGAP1-AS1)在神经胶质瘤中的生物学功能和机制尚不清楚。
作者使用实时定量聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)评估了神经胶质瘤组织和细胞系中 DLGAP1-AS1 和 miR-628-5p 的表达,并使用细胞计数试剂盒-8(CCK-8)检测、5-乙炔基-2'-脱氧尿苷(EdU)检测、Transwell 检测和 Western blot 分别评估它们对神经胶质瘤细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭和上皮-间充质转化(EMT)的影响。使用 Western blot 定量检测 DEAD 框解旋酶 59(DDX59)的表达,并进行双荧光素酶报告基因检测以检测 DLGAP1-AS1 与 miR-628-5p 之间的相互作用。
作者观察到,随着 WHO 分级的升高和生存时间的缩短,神经胶质瘤组织和细胞系中 DLGAP1-AS1 的表达增加。DLGAP1-AS1 促进神经胶质瘤细胞的增殖、迁移、侵袭和 EMT,而 miR-628-5p 则拮抗这些作用。作者发现 DLGAP1-AS1 是神经胶质瘤细胞中 miR-628-5p 的分子海绵,因为 DLGAP1-AS1 的部分生物学功能是通过 miR-628-5p 介导的。此外,DLGAP1-AS1 通过抑制 miR-628-5p 的表达而上调 DDX59 的表达。
