Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | lung cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C34 |
| Methods | qPCR, etc. |
| Sample | lung cancer cell lines (SK-MES-1, DMS-79, DMS-53, SHP-77, A549, A427, LA-4) and normal cell line (MRC5) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | lncRNA UCA was significantly (p < 0.05) upregulated in the lung cancer cells and silencing of UCA1 could inhibit the proliferation of the SK-MES-1 lung cancer cells via induction of G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Moreover, UCA1 silencing could also suppress the migration and invasion of the SK-MES-1 cells. The LncRNA UCA1 was also found to upregulate the expression of miR-143, and overexpression of miR-143 could also suppress the proliferation, migration, and invasion of the SK-MES-1 lung cancer cells. Both UCA1 silencing and miR-143 overexpression could cause a significant decrease in the expression of mitogen- activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1). Therefore, it is concluded that UCA1 regulates the growth of the SK-MES-1 lung cancer by inhibition of MAPK1 via miR-143 upregulation. |
