Pan cancer characterization of genes whose expression has been associated with LINE-1 antisense promoter activity.
Background: Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) comprises 17% of the human genome. As the only autonomous and active retrotransposons, L1 may take part in cancer initiation and progression in some ways. The studies of L1 in cancer mainly focus on the impact of L1 insertion into the new genome locus. The L1 5´ untranslated region (UTR) also contains antisense promoter (ASP) activity, generating L1-gene chimeric transcripts to a neighbor exon. Some of these ASP-associated genes have been reported to be overexpressed in cancer and promote cancer cell growth. However, little is known about overall expression patterns and the roles of L1 ASP-associated genes in human cancers.
Results: L1 ASP-associated genes were frequently dysregulated in cancer and associated with the cell cycle, the PI3K/AKT pathway, and the GTPase signaling pathway. The expression of L1 ASP-associated genes was correlated with tumor patient prognosis. Hub L1 ASP-associated genes CENPU and MCM2 showed a correlation with immune infiltration, clinical T stage, and cancer stemness in pan-cancer. Knockdown of L1 ASP-associated gene LINC00491 resulted in a significant decrease in tumor growth and migration ability.
Conclusions: The expression of L1 ASP-associated genes is significantly dysregulated at the pan-cancer level, which is closely related to the tumor microenvironment, progression, and patient prognosis. Hub genes CENPU and MCM2 are expected to be new tumor diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.
期刊介绍:
Mobile DNA is an online, peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes articles providing novel insights into DNA rearrangements in all organisms, ranging from transposition and other types of recombination mechanisms to patterns and processes of mobile element and host genome evolution. In addition, the journal will consider articles on the utility of mobile genetic elements in biotechnological methods and protocols.
