摘要:

目的 探讨长链非编码RNA LINC00261对食管鳞状细胞的增殖、侵袭及转移等生物学行为的影响。 方法 通过GEO数据库中GSE149612数据集分析食管鳞状细胞癌中的差异分子。收集临床食管鳞状细胞癌及正常食管组织样本及多种食管鳞状细胞癌细胞系细胞和正常食管上皮细胞HEEC细胞,通过PCR技术检测LINC00261的表达变化。过表达LINC00261再分为pcDNA组和pcDNA-LINC00261组,CCK-8、克隆形成实验检测细胞增殖能力,Transwell和流式细胞术分析其对细胞侵袭转移和凋亡的影响。ENCORI等相关生物信息学网站对LINC00261的靶点进行预测,双荧光素酶实验及Western blotting实验进行验证,裸鼠皮下移植瘤实验验证了LINC00261对食管鳞状细胞癌的影响。 结果 LINC00261在食管鳞状细胞癌中显著低表达,并且在临床食管鳞状细胞癌样本及细胞系中同样表达量明显降低(P<0.05);通过过表达LINC00261,发现其明显抑制了食管鳞状细胞癌的增殖、侵袭和转移并促进了肿瘤细胞的凋亡(P<0.05)。通过生物信息学网站的预测和双荧光素酶报告基因测定,验证了LINC00261靶向miR-23a-3p/ZNF292的关系。裸鼠皮下移植瘤实验发现通过过表达LINC00261可以明显抑制食管鳞状细胞癌的增殖和转移(P<0.0001)。 结论 LINC00261可以通过靶向miR-23a-3p/ZNF292抑制人食管鳞状细胞癌的增殖、侵袭和转移,为食管鳞状细胞癌的治疗提供新的依据。

Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the regulatory effects of lncRNA LINC00261 on proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. Methods The differentially expressed RNAs in ESCC were identified using the GSE149612 dataset from the GEO database. PCR was used to detect LINC00261 expression levels in clinical ESCC and normal esophageal tissue samples and in multiple ESCC cell lines and normal esophageal epithelial cells (HEEC). In ESCC cells, the effects of overexpression of LINC00261 on cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis and apoptosis were analyzed using CCK-8 assay, clone formation assay, Transwell assay and flow cytometry. The potential targets of LINC00261 were predicted using bioinformatics tools including ENCORI and verified using dual-luciferase reporter assay and Western blotting. The effects of LINC00261 overexpression on ESCC were confirmed in a nude mouse model bearing ESCC xenograft. Results Analysis of the GSE149612 dataset revealed significantly lower LINC00261 expression in ESCC tissues and cell lines. In cultured ESCC cells, LINC00261 overexpression markedly suppressed cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis and promoted cell apoptosis. Dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed that LINC00261 targets the miR-23a-3p/ZNF292 axis. In the tumor-bearing mouse model, LINC00261 overexpression significantly inhibited ESCC xenograft proliferation and metastasis. Conclusion LINC00261 suppresses ESCC progression by targeting the miR-23a-3p/ZNF292 axis, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for ESCC treatment.
