Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | colorectal cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C19.9 |
| Methods | qPCR, Western blot, Luciferase reporter assay, in vitro knockdown, RIP |
| Sample | colorectal cancer tissues, cell lines (RKO, Caco2, DLD1, HCT116, LOVO and SW480) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | ZEB1-AS1 was markedly upregulated in CRC. ZEB1-AS1 knockdown significantly suppressed CRC cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, whereas enhanced expression of ZEB1-AS1 had the opposite effect. Bioinformatics analysis identified miR-181a-5p as a candidate target of ZEB1-AS1. Moreover, we found an inverse correlation between ZEB1-AS1 and miR-181a-5p expression in CRC tissue. Inhibition of miR-181a-5p significantly upregulated ZEB1-AS1, whereas overexpression of miR-181a-5p had the opposite effect, suggesting that ZEB1-AS1 is negatively regulated by miR-181a-5p. Using luciferase reporter and RIP assays, we found that miR-181a-5p directly targets ZEB1-AS1. Importantly, ZEB1-AS1 may act as an endogenous 'sponge' to regulate miRNA targets by competing for miR-181a-5p binding. |
