Prostate cancer (PCa) harms the male reproductive system, and lncRNA may play an important role in it. Here, we report that the LINC01088/microRNA- (miRNA/miR-) 22/cell division cycle 6 (CDC6) axis regulated through the phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases- (PI3K-) protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway controls the development of PCa.
lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA associated with PCa was downloaded and analyzed by Gene Expression Omnibus. The expression and correlation of LINC01088/miR-22/CDC6 in PCa were analyzed and verified by RT-qPCR. Dual-luciferase was used to analyze the binding between miR-22 and LINC01088 or CDC6. Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell were used to analyze the effects of LINC01088/miR-22/CDC6 interactions on PCa cell viability or migration/invasion ability. Localization of LINC01088 in cells was analyzed by nuclear cytoplasmic separation. The effect of LINC01088/miR-22/CDC6 interaction on downstream PI3K/AKT signaling was analyzed by Western blot.
LINC01088 or CDC6 was upregulated in prostate tumor tissues or cells, whereas miR-22 was downregulated, miR-22 directly targets both LINC01088 and CDC6. si-LINC01088 inhibits the PCa process by suppressing the PI3K/AKT pathway. CDC6 reverses si-linc01088-mediated cell growth inhibition and reduction of PI3K and AKT protein levels.
Our results demonstrate that the LINC01088/miR-22/CDC6 axis functions in PCa progression and provide a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target.
前列腺癌(PCa)危害男性生殖系统,长链非编码 RNA(lncRNA)可能在其中发挥重要作用。在这里,我们报告 LINC01088/微小 RNA-(miRNA/miR-)22/细胞分裂周期 6(CDC6)轴通过磷脂酰肌醇 3-激酶-(PI3K-)蛋白激酶 B(AKT)信号通路调控,控制 PCa 的发展。
通过基因表达综合数据库下载并分析与 PCa 相关的 lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA。通过 RT-qPCR 分析和验证 PCa 中 LINC01088/miR-22/CDC6 的表达和相关性。双荧光素酶报告基因检测分析 miR-22 与 LINC01088 或 CDC6 的结合。细胞计数试剂盒-8 和 Transwell 用于分析 LINC01088/miR-22/CDC6 相互作用对 PCa 细胞活力或迁移/侵袭能力的影响。通过核质分离分析 LINC01088 在细胞中的定位。通过 Western blot 分析 LINC01088/miR-22/CDC6 相互作用对下游 PI3K/AKT 信号的影响。
LINC01088 或 CDC6 在前列腺肿瘤组织或细胞中上调,而 miR-22 下调,miR-22 直接靶向 LINC01088 和 CDC6。si-LINC01088 通过抑制 PI3K/AKT 通路抑制 PCa 进程。CDC6 逆转了 si-LINC01088 介导的细胞生长抑制和 PI3K 和 AKT 蛋白水平的降低。
我们的结果表明,LINC01088/miR-22/CDC6 轴在 PCa 进展中发挥作用,并为诊断和治疗提供了有前途的靶点。
