Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of lncRNA DSCAM-AS1 in prostate cancer to find new therapeutic targets and promote the research progress of prostate cancer.
Methods
RT-qPCR was used to detect DSCAM-AS1 expression in prostate cancer tissues, normal tissues, human normal prostate epithelial cells (RWPE), and four prostate cancer cell lines. The clinical and prognostic role of DSCAM-AS1 was evaluated by the Kaplan–Meier curve and chi-square test. Secondly, a dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to study the regulatory mechanism between miR-338-3p and DSCAM-AS1. Finally, the roles of DSCAM-AS1 and miR-338-3p in prostate cancer cell proliferation and metastasis were explored by CCK-8 and Transwell assays.
Results
It was found that DSCAM-AS1 upregulation could serve as a warning of deterioration and poor prognosis in prostate cancer patients, and that knockdown of DSCAM-AS1 expression inhibited the progression of prostate cancer cells. In addition, miR-338-3p, a target of DSCAM-AS1, was found to be down-regulated in prostate cancer cells and miR-338-3p knockdown could reverse the inhibitory effect of DSCAM-AS1 silencing on prostate cancer.
Conclusion
DSCAM-AS1 is up-regulated in prostate cancer and regulates the progression of prostate cancer cells by targeting miR-338-3p.
