Long non-coding RNA MIR4435-2HG promotes pancreatic cancer progression by regulating ABHD17C through sponging miR-128-3p.
Background: The recently identified carcinogenic long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MIR4435-2HG has been validated to contribute to the initiation and progression of several malignancies. Nonetheless, its specific mechanistic function in pancreatic cancer (PC) is yet to be determined. This study aims to investigate the expression and functional role of MIR4435-2HG in PC and to elucidate its potential mechanism.
Methods: This study employed The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx)-Pancreas datasets for the analysis of MIR4435-2HG expression in PC and normal pancreatic tissues and its relations with prognosis in PC. Moreover, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was employed for analyzing MIR4435-2HG, miR-128-3p, and ABHD17C expressions within cells and tissues. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected in vitro through Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry while utilizing transwell and wound healing assays to assess cell migration and invasion. Predicting miR-128-3p binding sites with MIR4435-2HG or ABHD17C was conducted via the online tool starBase and validated through a dual-luciferase reporter (DLR), RNA pull-down and RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Herein, we deployed Western blot to assess protein expression levels. The in vivo role of MIR4435-2HG was studied using tumor xenografts.
Results: MIR4435-2HG overexpression exhibited a correlation with poor prognosis in PC. Knocking down MIR4435-2HG significantly hindered the proliferative, invading, and migrating PC cell abilities, accompanied by apoptosis induction, counteracted via a miR-128-3p inhibitor. Moreover, MIR4435-2HG could directly bind to miR-128-3p. Additionally, miR-128-3p directly targeted ABHD17C. Furthermore, in vitro as well as in vivo experiment results elucidated that knocking down MIR4435-2HG hindered PC progression by suppressing ABHD17C expression via miR-128-3p upregulation.
Conclusions: MIR4435-2HG can serve as a dependable target for PC diagnosis and treatment by modulating the miR-128-3p/ABHD17C axis to promote its progression.
