摘要:
目的 探讨LINC00341对肺腺癌细胞增殖的影响及其潜在机制。 方法 在公共数据集SEO和TCGA中分析肺腺癌中LINC00341 mRNA的表达,ROC曲线分析其诊断价值,对RMA和OKAYAMA数据进行生存分析,并通过美国密歇根大学医院肺癌样本进行RNA-seq验证和ROC曲线分析;结合基因本体(gene otology,GO)分析LINC00341基因生物学功能;通过siRNA沉默LINC00341的表达,根据不同处理分为对照组(NT)和沉默组(siLINC00341),并验证细胞转染效率;采用WST-1和平板克隆实验检测细胞增殖能力;RNA亚细胞定位检测LINC00341定位,Western blotting检测其对MAPK信号通路相关蛋白表达水平的影响。 结果 LINC00341在肺腺癌组织中低表达(3个数据集P < 0.0001),ROC曲线分析表明其可作为肺腺癌的诊断标记物,同时低表达LINC00341与患者较好的预后相关( P = 0.004)。GO富集分析结果表明LINC00341主要与RNA聚合酶II启动子转录调控、蛋白质结合等有关。沉默LINC00341可以促进肺腺癌细胞的增殖(P < 0.05)和克隆形成( P < 0.05),且MAPK信号通路蛋白STAT3和ERK均被激活( P < 0.05),RNA定位显示LINC00341主要分布在细胞核。 结论 LINC00341可能在转录水平调控MAPK通路,进而抑制肺腺癌发展,并可作为肺腺癌重要的诊断和预后标志物。 Abstract:Objective To explore the underlying mechnisms and effect of LINC00341 on the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Methods The expression of LINC00341 mRNA in lung adenocarcinoma was analyzed in public data set SEO and TCGA, and its diagnostic value was analyzed by ROC curve. Survival analysis was performed on RMA and OKAYAMA data, and RNA-seq validation and ROC curve analysis were performed on lung cancer samples from Hospital of University of Michigan, USA. The biological function of LINC00341 gene was analyzed by gene otology (GO). The expression of LINC00341 was silenced by siRNA and cells were divided into control group (NT) and silenced group (siLINC00341) according to different treatments, and the transfection efficiency was verified. Cell proliferation was detected by WST-1 and plate cloning assay. RNA subcellular localization was detected for LINC00341 localization, and Western blot was used to detect the effect of LINC00341 on the expression level of proteins related to MAPK signaling pathway. Results Low expression of LINC00341 was found in lung adenocarcinoma tissues (P < 0.0001 for 3 data sets). ROC curve analysis indicated that LINC00341 could be used as a biomarker for lung adenocarcinoma , and low expression of LINC00341 was associated with better prognosis in patients ( P = 0.004). GO enrichment analysis showed that LINC00341 was mainly related to transcriptional regulation of RNA polymerase II promoter and protein binding. Silencing LINC00341 could promote the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells (P < 0.05) and clone formation ( P < 0.05) , and the MAPK signaling pathway proteins STAT3 and ERK were activated ( P < 0.05). RNA localization showed that LINC00341 was mainly distributed in the nuclear. Conclusion LINC00341 may regulate MAPK pathway at transcriptional level, thus inhibiting the development of lung adenocarcinoma, and can be used as an important diagnostic and prognostic marker for lung adenocarcinoma. -
