GSE147167 Microarray profiling analysis of lncRNAs expression in gastric cancer specimens

Contributor : Yong ZhouSeries Type : Expression profiling by RT-PCROrganism : Homo sapiensGrowing evidence has indicated that LncRNA CYTOR involved in the initiation and progression of malignancy, such as gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and colorectal cancer. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of CYTOR in the development of metastatic gastric cancer remains unknown. In the current study, the authors clarified the association of CYTOR/miR-103/RAB10 was implicated in cancer metastasis. CYTOR expression evaluated in metastatic gastric cancer biopsies compared to the primary cases. Moreover, CYTOR expression correlated with the invasiveness, lymph node metastasis, and advanced stages of gastric cancer. Downregulation of CYTOR by shRNA hampered proliferation and migration, while induced cell apoptosis significantly. MicroRNA miR-103 was related to CYTOR expression negatively. Furthermore, dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that CYTOR sponged miR-103 and diminished miR-103 expression. Expression of Ras-related protein RAB10 was downregulated by miR-103, leading to the attenuation of cell migration and proliferation. The deregulated CYTOR cells were produced and subsequently injected into mice subcutaneously. The tumor growth decreased significantly in the CYTOR knockdown group, compared to the vehicle group. Briefly, the present findings suggested that CYTOR -miR-103-RAB10 was a novel promising pathway for conquering gastric cancer progression.Long ...
