Abstract
Purpose: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) TP73-AS1 is abnormally expressed in multiple types of tumors, which is able to mediate tumor cell signals. This study aims to explore the role of TP73-AS1 in affecting biological functions of NK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) and DKK1 methylation.
Methods: TP73-AS1 levels in peripheral blood of NKTCL patients and healthy volunteers was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). After knockdown of TP73-AS1, proliferative and migratory abilities in SNK-6 and HANK-1 cells were assessed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assay, respectively. Regulatory effect of TP73-AS1 on DKK1 methylation in NKTCL cells was evaluated through methylation-specific PCR (MSP), dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (RIP). Rescue experiments were conducted to further validate the interaction between TP73-AS1 and DKK1.
Results: TP73-AS1 level was higher in peripheral blood of NKTCL patients than that of healthy volunteers. Knockdown of TP73-AS1 in vitro weakened proliferative and migratory functions of NKTCL cells. TP73-AS1 induced methylation of DKK1 promoter through DNMT1/DNMT3, thus regulating NKTCL cell functions.
Conclusions: TP73-AS1 level was higher in peripheral blood of NKTCL patients. Through inducing methylation of DKK1 promoter, TP73-AS1 aggravates the malignant progression of NKTCL.
期刊介绍:
JBUON aims at the rapid diffusion of scientific knowledge in Oncology.
Its character is multidisciplinary, therefore all aspects of oncologic activities are welcome including clinical research (medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, nursing oncology, psycho-oncology, supportive care), as well as clinically-oriented basic and laboratory research, cancer epidemiology and social and ethical aspects of cancer. Experts of all these disciplines are included in the Editorial Board.
With a rapidly increasing body of new discoveries in clinical therapeutics, the molecular mechanisms that contribute to carcinogenesis, advancements in accurate and early diagnosis etc, JBUON offers a free forum for clinicians and basic researchers to make known promptly their achievements around the world.
With this aim JBUON accepts a broad spectrum of articles such as editorials, original articles, reviews, special articles, short communications, commentaries, letters to the editor and correspondence among authors and readers.
JBUON keeps the characteristics of its former paper print edition and appears as a bimonthly e-published journal with continuous volume, issue and page numbers.
