The current paper investigates how long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FAM83A antisense RNA 1 (lncRNA FAM83A-AS1) affected the epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT), growth, invasion and migration of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) via targeting miRNA-141-3p. The GEPIA and ENCORI databases were used to analyze differences in lncRNA FAM83A-AS1 levels within LUAD samples. FAM83A-AS1 and miR-141-3p levels were assessed using qRT-PCR among 30 LUAD samples and surrounding normal tissues. In addition, we analyzed how FAM83A-AS1 affected proliferation, invasion, migration, and EMT processes of LUAD cells by targeting miR-141-3p through EdU, CCK-8 assay, scratch assay, transwell migration and invasion assay, immunofluorescence (IF) staining and WB assay. MicroRNAs targeting FAM83A-AS1 were screened using AnnoLnc2 and identified by RT-qPCR. Dual-luciferase assays were utilized to evaluate the connection between FAM83A-AS1 and miR-141-3p. FAM83A-AS1 expression was remarkably raised in lung cancer cells and tissue samples; however, miR-141-3p level markedly reduced relative to healthy samples. FAM83A-AS1 silencing suppressed EMT, growth, invasion and migration of LUAD cells. MiR-141-3p was the possible FAM83A-AS1 binding target negatively associated with FAM83A-AS1. The miR-141-3p inhibitor partly abolished the FAM83A-AS1 knockdown-induced inhibition on EMT, cell growth, invasion and migration in LUAD cells. In addition, miR-141-3p down-regulation abolished the inhibition of E-box-bound zinc finger protein 1 and 2 protein production following FAM83A-AS1 knockdown. According to our results, FAM83A-AS1/miR-141-3p axis plays an important role in LUAD occurrence and development. FAM83A-AS1 sponged miR-141-3p to down-regulate the level of the latter within LUAD and thereby encouraging LUAD development and suggesting a possible novel therapeutic approach for LUAD.
本文研究了长非编码 RNA (lncRNA) FAM83A 反义 RNA 1 (lncRNA FAM83A-AS1) 如何通过靶向 miRNA-141-3p 影响肺腺癌 (LUAD) 的上皮-间充质转化 (EMT)、生长、侵袭和迁移。使用 GEPIA 和 ENCORI 数据库分析 LUAD 样本中 lncRNA FAM83A-AS1 水平的差异。在 30 个 LUAD 样本和周围正常组织中使用 qRT-PCR 评估 FAM83A-AS1 和 miR-141-3p 的水平。此外,我们通过 EdU、CCK-8 测定、划痕测定、transwell 迁移和侵袭测定、免疫荧光 (IF) 染色和 WB 测定,分析 FAM83A-AS1 通过靶向 miR-141-3p 如何影响 LUAD 细胞的增殖、侵袭、迁移和 EMT 过程。使用 AnnoLnc2 筛选靶向 FAM83A-AS1 的 microRNAs,并通过 RT-qPCR 进行鉴定。双荧光素酶测定用于评估 FAM83A-AS1 与 miR-141-3p 之间的联系。FAM83A-AS1 在肺癌细胞和组织样本中表达显著升高,而与健康样本相比,miR-141-3p 水平明显降低。FAM83A-AS1 沉默抑制 LUAD 细胞的 EMT、生长、侵袭和迁移。miR-141-3p 是 FAM83A-AS1 负相关的可能结合靶标。miR-141-3p 抑制剂部分消除了 FAM83A-AS1 敲低对 LUAD 细胞 EMT、细胞生长、侵袭和迁移的抑制作用。此外,FAM83A-AS1 敲低后,E-盒结合锌指蛋白 1 和 2 蛋白的产生被抑制,miR-141-3p 下调消除了这种抑制作用。根据我们的结果,FAM83A-AS1/miR-141-3p 轴在 LUAD 的发生和发展中起重要作用。FAM83A-AS1 吸附 miR-141-3p,降低后者在 LUAD 中的水平,从而促进 LUAD 的发展,并为 LUAD 提供一种新的可能的治疗方法。
