Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | colorectal cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C19.9 |
| Methods | qPCR, Western blot, RIP, Luciferase reporter assay etc. |
| Sample | primary CRC tissues, cell lines (HEK-293T, HCT8, HCT116, HT29, LoVo) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | We found that UCA1 was up-regulated in CRCs and negatively correlated with survival time in two CRC cohorts. Functional assays revealed the in vitro and in vivo growth-promoting function of UCA1 and revealed that UCA1 can decrease the sensitivity of CRC cells to 5-FU by attenuating apoptosis. Further mechanistic studies revealed that UCA1 could sponge endogenous miR-204-5p and inhibit its activity. We also identified CREB1 as a new target of miR-204-5p. The protein levels of CREB1 were significantly up-regulated in CRCs, negatively associated with survival time and positively correlated with the UCA1 expression. |
