Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, largely due to the development of resistance to standard chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin. Recent evidence has highlighted the regulatory role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in mediating drug resistance mechanisms. In this study, we aimed to reveal the role of MCM3AP-AS1 in cisplatin-induced cell death in lung cancer cells.
As a result, we found that MCM3AP-AS1, a lncRNA previously associated with poor prognosis in various cancers, was significantly upregulated in A549 lung cancer cells following cisplatin treatment. Using RNA interference-mediated silencing of MCM3AP-AS1, we observed a marked increase in cell viability and a decrease in apoptosis, as determined by MTT assay, annexin V/PI flow cytometry, and acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining.
These findings suggest that MCM3AP-AS1 may be a crucial modulator of cisplatin-induced apoptosis in lung cancer cells.
肺癌仍是全球癌症相关死亡的主要原因,这主要归因于对顺铂等标准化疗药物产生耐药性。最近的证据凸显了长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)在介导耐药机制中的调节作用。在本研究中,我们旨在揭示MCM3AP-AS1在顺铂诱导肺癌细胞死亡中的作用。
结果发现,MCM3AP-AS1是一种先前与多种癌症预后不良相关的lncRNA,在顺铂处理后的A549肺癌细胞中显著上调。通过RNA干扰介导沉默MCM3AP-AS1,我们观察到细胞活力显著增加,凋亡减少,这通过MTT法、膜联蛋白V/碘化丙啶流式细胞术和吖啶橙/溴化乙锭染色得以确定。
这些发现表明,MCM3AP-AS1可能是顺铂诱导肺癌细胞凋亡的关键调节因子。
