Glioblastoma (GBM) is malignant, demanding more attention to the improvement of the diagnosis and therapy. LncRNAs have been implicated in the malignancy of GBM cells.
HOXA-AS2, miR-2116-3p and SERPINA3 expression levels in GBM tissues and cell lines were detected by qRT-PCR. Western blotting was performed to detect the protein levels of Bax and Bcl-2. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was for detection of relationship among these factors, together with RIP and RNA pull-down. CCK-8, EdU, wound healing and transwell assays were for detection of the role of HOXA-AS2, miR-2116-3p and SERPINA3 in cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion in GBM, respectively.
HOXA-AS2 and SERPINA3 showed higher level in GBM tissues and cell lines. Low level of HOXA-AS2 attenuated GBM cell growth in vitro. Moreover, the anti-tumor impact of silenced HOXA-AS2 was restored by miR-2116-3p inhibitor, but its tumor-promotional effect could be reversed by silenced SERPINA3.
HOXA-AS2 enhanced GBM cell malignancy through sponging miR-2116-3p and releasing SERPINA3, which might shed light on the diagnosis and therapy for GBM in the future.
胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是恶性的,需要更多地关注其诊断和治疗的改善。lncRNAs 已被牵涉到 GBM 细胞的恶性中。
通过 qRT-PCR 检测 GBM 组织和细胞系中 HOXA-AS2、miR-2116-3p 和 SERPINA3 的表达水平。通过 Western blot 检测 Bax 和 Bcl-2 的蛋白水平。双荧光素酶报告实验用于检测这些因素之间的关系,以及 RIP 和 RNA 下拉实验。CCK-8、EdU、划痕愈合和 Transwell 实验分别用于检测 HOXA-AS2、miR-2116-3p 和 SERPINA3 在 GBM 细胞活力、增殖、迁移和侵袭中的作用。
HOXA-AS2 和 SERPINA3 在 GBM 组织和细胞系中表达水平较高。HOXA-AS2 水平降低可减弱 GBM 细胞的体外生长。此外,沉默 HOXA-AS2 的抗肿瘤作用可被 miR-2116-3p 抑制剂恢复,但沉默 SERPINA3 可逆转其促肿瘤作用。
HOXA-AS2 通过海绵吸附 miR-2116-3p 并释放 SERPINA3 增强了 GBM 细胞的恶性程度,这可能为未来 GBM 的诊断和治疗提供新的思路。
