In qRT-PCR analyses, a marked reduction of linc-RoR and core TFs was observed in all differentiated tumorspheres. This finding suggested that linc-RoR expression was positively correlated with levels of undifferentiated tumorspheres. The effects of miR-145 could be eliminated after increasing the expression of linc-RoR in ETs or mutated targeted sequences in linc-RoR. 24589415 2014 Linc-RNA-RoR acts as a sponge against mediation of the differentiation of endometrial cancer stem cells by microRNA-145.

Furthermore, silencing of CCAT2 gene inhibited the proliferation of BGC-823 cells, as well as induced apoptosis and autophagy in BGC-823 cells, by suppression of the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathways.Recent studies confirmed that the lncRNA CCAT2, located at the 8q24 amplicon of the cancer risk-associated rs6983267 SNP, regulated the cancer metabolism in vitro and in vivo by directly interacting in an allele-specific manner with a protein complex. The chromosomal region 8q24 emerged as an important region for genetic susceptibility in various cancer types, thus DNA methylation or SNPs at this locus may contribute to cancer risk. RT-qPCR results revealed that CCAT2 gene expression was effectively suppressed by the transfection, while POU domain class 5 transcription factor 1B (POU5F1B) gene expression was significantly decreased. 29435046 2017 Effect of silencing colon cancer-associated transcript 2 on the proliferation,apoptosis and autophagy of gastric cancer BGC-823 cells.

Mechanistically, antisense lncRNA EZR-AS1 formed a complex with RNA polymerase II to activate the transcription of EZR. Moreover, EZR-AS1 could recruit SMYD3 to a binding site, present in a GC-rich region downstream of the EZR promoter, causing the binding of SMYD3 and local enrichment of H3K4me3. Finally, the interaction of EZR-AS1 with SMYD3 further enhanced EZR transcription and expression. Our findings suggest that antisense lncRNA EZR-AS1, as a member of an RNA polymerase complex and through enhanced SMYD3-dependent H3K4 methylation, plays an important role in enhancing transcription of the EZR gene to promote the mobility and invasiveness of human cancer cells.EZR-AS1 regulates EZR transcriptional activity in ESCC cells by interacting with RNA polymerase II, but not by affecting the binding of SP1 and AP-1 transcription factors. the overexpression of EZR-AS1 accompanied the enhanced expression of EZR (variant 1), both at the mRNA and protein levels, in KYSE150 cells (Figure 1H and I). 29253179 2018 The interaction of lncRNA EZR-AS1 with SMYD3 maintains overexpression of EZR in ESCC cells.

Ectopic expression of four transcription factors (Oct4, Klf4, Sox2 and c-Myc) reprograms various types of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells. Accordingly, H19 and PDK1 expression exhibits strong correlations in primary breast carcinomas. H19 acting as a competitive endogenous RNA sequesters miRNA let-7 to release Hypoxia-inducible factor 1a, leading to an increase in PDK1 expression. Lastly, aspirin markedly attenuates glycolysis and cancer stem-like characteristics by suppressing both H19 and PDK1. 29106390 2017 Glycolysis gatekeeper PDK1 reprograms breast cancer stem cells under hypoxia.

Subsequently, the tumor-suppressor runt domain transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) was confirmed to be a downstream molecule of H19/miR-675 axis, since overexpression of H19 or miR-675 significantly decreased RUNX1 expression in AGS cells, and knockdown of H19 or miR-675 enhanced RUNX1 expression. 26931432 2016 Long Noncoding RNA H19-Derived miR-675 Enhances Proliferation and Invasion via RUNX1 in Gastric Cancer Cells HOXD-AS1 HAGLR, HOXD-AS1, Mdgt 401022 ENSG00000224189 NR_033979 GRCh38_2:176164051-176188958 glioblastoma NA M9440/3 qPCR, Western blot, Luciferase reporter assay etc. glioma tissues, cell line (HEK-293T) up-regulated HOXD-AS1 expression was upregulated in glioma tissues and in glioma cell lines.HOXD-AS1 overexpression promoted cell migration and invasion in vitro, whereas knockdown of HOXD-AS1 expression repressed these cellular processes. Mechanistic studies further revealed that HOXD-AS1 could compete with the transcription factor E2F8 to bind with miR-130a,thus affecting E2F8 expression. Additionally, reciprocal repression was observed between HOXD-AS1 and miR-130a,and miR-130a mediated the tumor-suppressive effects of HOXD-AS1 knockdown. 29341117 2018 HOXD-AS1/miR-130a sponge regulates glioma development by targeting E2F8.

HULC increased SPHK1 in hepatoma cells. Mechanistically, HULC activated the promoter of SPHK1 in hepatoma cells through the transcription factor E2F1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) further showed that E2F1 was capable of binding to the E2F1 element in the SPHK1 promoter. HULC increased the expression of E2F1 in hepatoma cells and levels of HULC were positively correlated with those of E2F1 in HCC tissues. Intriguingly, HULC sequestered miR-107, which targeted E2F1 mRNA 3'UTR, by complementary base pairing.

Curcumin induced high miR-145 expression and inhibited the expression of lncRNA-ROR. The tumorigenicity of curcumin- treated HuPCaSCs in nude mice was significantly reduced. In summary, reducing the expression of endogenous lncRNA-ROR could effectively increase the available concentration of miR-145 in HuPCaSCs, where miR-145 prevents cell proliferation by decreasing Oct4 expression. In particular, we hypothesized that lncRNA-ROR may act as a ceRNA, effectively becoming a sink for miR-145, thereby activating the derepression of core transcription factors Oct4. Thus, curcumin suppresses the proliferation, in vitro invasion, and tumorigenicity of HuPCaSCs through ceRNA effect of miR-145 and lncRNA-ROR caused. 28843521 2017 Curcumin suppresses proliferation and in vitro invasion of human prostate cancer stem cells by ceRNA effect of miR-145 and lncRNA-ROR linc-ROR LINC-ROR, ROR, lincRNA-RoR 100885779 ENSG00000258609 NR_048536 GRCh38_18:57054558-57072119 pancreatic cancer C25 NA qPCR, RNAi, Western blot, Northern blot, Flow cytometry assay, FISH etc. pancreatic cancer tissues up-regulated Compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues, ROR was up-regulated in most tumor tissues.

Moreover, ROR silencing resulted in significantly decreased tumourigenicity of PCSCs in nude mice than controls. In particular, ROR may act as a ceRNA, effectively becoming a sink for miR-145, thereby activating the derepression of core transcription factors Nanog. 26636540 2016 ROR functions as a ceRNA to regulate Nanog expression by sponging miR-145 and predicts poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer. linc-ROR LINC-ROR, ROR, lincRNA-RoR 100885779 ENSG00000258609 NR_048536 GRCh38_18:57054558-57072119 gastric cancer C16 NA qPCR, RNAi etc. cell lines (AGS1, MGC803, SGC7901, and MKN48), gastric adenocarcinomas tissues down-regulated LINCROR could sponge the miR-148a, miR-145 and miR-21 and can act as ceRNA modulating the miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulation of EGFR, KLF4, DNMT1 and AGO4 . The downregulation of LINCROR when its target miR-145 abundantly expressed.In addition, we observed the expression level LINCROR directly correlated with the overexpression of the miR-145. This relationship has been already reported in colon cancer and shown to be involved in overall survival. Our results suggest that reduced LINCROR/high miR-145 might be associated with better prognosis. LINCROR is an active member associated with reprogramming and stemness-related transcription factors.

The levels of CD44, CD133, Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, lincRNA-ROR in CD44(+) CD133(+) cells were significantly increased,while miR-145 was decreased compared with CD44(-)CD133(-)cells(P<0.05). The levels of CD44,CD133,lnc-ROR in CD44(+) CD133(+) cells were significantly reduced upon cell adherence, while miR-145 was significantly increased. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that lincRNA-ROR shared miRNA response elements with core transcription factors Oct4,Sox2 and Nanog. MiR-145 significantly inhibited the expression of lincRNA-ROR, Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog.

Meanwhile, the expression of MALAT1 was highly expressed in U98 and U251 cells. In order to explore the function of MALAT1, the expression of MALAT1 was greatly reduced in U87 and U251 cells transfected with siRNA specifically targeting MALAT1. Consequently, cell viability of U87 and U251 cells were drastically decreased after the knockdown of MALAT1. Concomitantly, the apoptosis rate of the two cell lines was dramatically increased. Furthermore, the expression levels of some tumor markers were reduced after the knockdown of MALAT1, such as CCND1 and MYC 27134488 2016 Silencing of Long Non-Coding RNA MALAT1 Promotes Apoptosis of Glioma Cells MALAT1 MALAT1, HCN, LINC00047, NCRNA00047, NEAT2, PRO2853 378938 ENSG00000251562 NR_002819 GRCh38_11:65497688-65506516 ovarian cancer C56.9 NA microarray, qPCR, in vitro knockdown etc. cell lines (SKOV3, 293T) up-regulated The results showed that MALAT1 inhibition significantly suppressed tumorigenity in vitro and in vivo.

Functionally, knockdown of MALAT1 resulted in an impairment and increased the permeability of BTB as well as decreased the expression of ZO-1, occludin and claudin-5 in GECs. Further, there was reciprocal repression between MALAT1 and miR-140, and miR-140 mediated the effects that MALAT1 knockdown exerted. Mechanistic investigations defined that nuclear factor YA (NFYA), a CCAAT box-binding transcription factor, was a direct and functional downstream target of miR-140, which was involved in the MALAT1 knockdown induced regulation of BTB function. 26619802 2015 Knockdown of long non-coding RNA MALAT1 increases the blood-tumor barrier permeability by up-regulating miR-140 MALAT1 MALAT1, HCN, LINC00047, NCRNA00047, NEAT2, PRO2853 378938 ENSG00000251562 NR_002819 GRCh38_11:65497688-65506516 gastric cancer C16 NA qPCR, RNAi, Western blot, ChIP etc. gastric cancer tissues, cell lines (MKN28, SGC7901, BGC823 etc.) up-regulated The expression of MALAT1 was up-regulated in GC tissues and three cell lines. Si-MALAT1/pcDNA-MALAT1 induced the decrease of cell invasion and migration, while the effects were reversed by the transfection of pcDNA-EGFL7/si-EGFL7. ChIP assay showed that MALAT1 regulated EGFL7 expression by altering the level of H3 histone acetylation in EGFL7 promoter. In tumor xenotransplant mice, down-regulated MALAT1 contributed to the inhibition of tumor metastasis. 27259812 2016 Overexpressed MALAT1 promotes invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells via increasing EGFL7 expression.

Co-silencing of Sp1 and Sp3 synergistically repressed MALAT1 expression. Sp1 binding inhibitor, mithramycin A (MIT), also inhibited MALAT1 expression in HCC cells. 26352013 2015 Sp1 cooperates with Sp3 to upregulate MALAT1 expression in human hepatocellular carcinoma.

The gene and homologs lack credible open reading frames, consistent with a highly conserved large noncoding RNA (ncRNA). In all nodules of procarcinogen-induced murine hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and human HCCs, expression was markedly elevated compared to the uninvolved liver. Quantitative analyses indicated a 6-7-fold increased RNA level in HCCs versus uninvolved liver, advancing this as a molecule of interest. This ncRNA was overexpressed in all five non-hepatic human carcinomas analysed, consistent with a potential marker for neoplastic cells and potential participant in the molecular cell biology of neoplasia. 16878148 2007 A large noncoding RNA is a marker for murine hepatocellular carcinomas and a spectrum of human carcinomas.

Knockdown of MEG3 inhibited TGF-B-mediated changes in cell morphology and cell motility characteristic of EMT and counteracted TGF-B-dependent changes in the expression of EMT-related genes such as CDH1, ZEB family, and the microRNA-200 family. Overexpression of MEG3 influenced the expression of these genes and enhanced the effects of TGF-B in their expressions. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) revealed that MEG3 regulated the recruitment of JARID2 and EZH2 and histone H3 methylation on the regulatory regions of CDH1 and microRNA-200 family genes for transcriptional repression. 27852821 2017 MEG3 Long Noncoding RNA Contributes to the Epigenetic Regulation of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Lung Cancer Cell Lines.

Our results describe a double-negative feedback loop between MIR100HG and the transcription factor GATA6, whereby GATA6 represses MIR100HG, but this repression is relieved by miR-125b targeting of GATA6.

Knockdown of NEAT1 impaired the integrity and increased the permeability of the BTB, accompanied by downregulation of expression of the tight junction proteins ZO-1, occludin and claudin-5 in GECs. Knockdown of NEAT1 also down-regulated the expression of sex determining region Y-box protein 5 (SOX5), which was defined as a direct and functional downstream target of miR-181d-5p. SOX5 interacts with the promoter region of ZO-1, occludin and claudin-5 in GECs. 28185956 2017 Long non-coding RNA NEAT1 regulates permeability of the blood-tumor barrier via miR-181d-5p-mediated expression changes in ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-5.

In addition, the RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma (FUS/TLS) physically interacted with NEAT1, and reducing the expression of FUS/TLS also induced cell apoptosis.

Furthermore, NEAT1 was observed to bind hsa-miR-377-3p, functioning as a competing endogenous RNA, which resulted in de-repression of its target gene E2F transcription factor 3 (E2F3). E2F3, as an oncogene, may promote NSCLC progression.These results suggested that NEAT1 may promote the development of NSCLC through the miR-377-3p-E2F3 pathway. 29085511 2017 Long non-coding RNA NEAT1 regulates E2F3 expression by competitively binding to miR-377 in non-small cell lung cancer PCA3 PCA3, DD3, NCRNA00019, PCAT3 50652 ENSG00000225937 NR_015342 GRCh38_9:76691980-76863307 prostate cancer C61.9 NA qPCR, RNAi, Western blot, ChIP, Luciferase reporter assay, Cell proliferation assay etc. prostate cancer tissues, cell lines (RWPE-1, LNCaP) differential expression In the present study, the level of PCA3 expression in prostate cancer cells was reduced by small interfering RNA (siRNA). Subsequently, the ability of LNCaP cell proliferation, invasion, and migration of PCa was compromised both in vivo and in vitro with the occurrence of cell autophagy. The transcription factor, Snail, activated the expression of lncRNA PCA3, which could inhibit the translation of PRKD3 protein via competitive miR-1261 sponging, and thus high expression of PRKD3 further promoted invasion and migration of prostate cancer. 27743381 2016 Snail-activated long non-coding RNA PCA3 up-regulates PRKD3 expression by miR-1261 sponging, thereby promotes invasion and migration of prostate cancer cells.

PlncRNA-1 knockdown resulted in the up-regulation of a series of AR-targeting microRNAs, among which miR-34c and miR-297 were found to regulate both AR and PlncRNA-1 expression at the post-transcriptional level. Together, the data generated in this study indicate that PlncRNA-1 sponges AR-targeting microRNAs to protect AR from microRNA-mediated down-regulation and that these events form a regulatory feed-forward loop in the development of PCa. 26808578 2016 A feed-forward regulatory loop between androgen receptor and PlncRNA-1 promotes prostate cancer progression.

Our results revealed that up-regulated PTAF induced elevated SNAI2 expression by competitively binding to miR-25, which in turn promoted OvCa cell EMT and invasion.The mesenchymal OvCa patients in the TCGA dataset with high PTAF expression showed a poorer prognosis than those with low PTAF expression. we found that miR-25 not only had binding sites within SNAI2, a key TF regulating EMT, and PTAF but also had an inverse expression relationship with both SNAI2 and PTAF. 29929545 2018 Systematic analyses reveal long non-coding RNA (PTAF)-mediated promotion of EMT and invasion-metastasis in serous ovarian cancer.

PVT1 can reduce the expression of miR-186 as ceRNA in PCa cell lines and promotes Twist1 expression by suppressing miR-186. 29452232 2018 Long noncoding RNA PVT1 promotes EMT via mediating microRNA-186 targeting of Twist1 in prostate cancer.

We revealed that RSU1P2 acts as a ceRNA through regulating the expression of IGF1R, N-myc and EphA4. The mechanism of this regulation is via competition for the shared microRNA let-7a. This competition promotes the malignant phenotype of cervical carcinoma cells. The transcription factor N-myc forms a positive feedback loop with RSU1P2 by in turn activating its expression, thereby enhancing its oncogenic capacity. 27487126 2016 LncRNA RSU1P2 contributes to tumorigenesis by acting as a ceRNA against let-7a in cervical cancer cells.

Subsequently, knockdown of SNHG15 expression with small interfering RNA inhibited RCC proliferation, invasion and migration, was determined by western blotting and Transwell assays.

In addition, we identified a positive correlation between SNHG16 and E2F5 in breast cancer tissues.

This correlation between GAS5 and clinicopathological parameters indicates that GAS5 might function as a tumor suppressor. Furthermore, GAS5 overexpression increased tumor cell growth arrest and induced apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. 24357161 2013 A critical role for the long non-coding RNA GAS5 in proliferation and apoptosis in non-small-cell lung cancer.

The overexpression of H19 in GBC cells enhanced tumor invasion and promoted EMT by upregulated transcription factor Twist1. On the contrary, Loss of function studies indicated that H19 interference in GBC suppressed tumor cell invasion and promoted mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) via suppressing Twist expression. In vivo, the volume of the tumors in H19-inteference group was significantly decreased compared to those in the control group of nude mice. 27073719 2015 Upregulation of H19 indicates a poor prognosis in gallbladder carcinoma and promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition H2A/K NA NA NA NA NA renal cancer C64.9 NA qPCR, Cell proliferation assay etc. renal cancer tissues, cell line (HEK293T) differential expression Quantitative proteomic analysis indicated that the expression of mutant H2A/K lncRNAs resulted in the upregulation of many oncogenes, which promoted cell proliferation.

Loss of function assays were performed in two different LAD cell lines. Silenced HOXA10-AS was proved to inhibit LAD progression by affecting cell proliferation, cell apoptosis and cell metastasis and EMT progress. Western blot analysis revealed that HOXA10-AS increased Wnt/B-catenin signaling in LAD cell lines. Finally, rescue assays were carried out to identify the biological function of HOXA10-AS-Wnt/B-catenin signaling in LAD progression. In conclusion, ELK1-induced upregulation of HOXA10-AS improved LAD progression through increasing Wnt/B-catenin signaling. 29729275 2018 ELK1-induced upregulation of lncRNA HOXA10-AS promotes lung adenocarcinoma progression by increasing Wnt/B-catenin signaling.

ISH revealed that HOXA11-AS was strongly expressed in the nucleus and closely related to the T grade, neck nodal metastasis, and clinical stage. Patients with T3-4 grade, neck nodal metastasis, or advanced clinical stage presented a high HOXA11-AS expression. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that high HOXA11-AS expression could predict a poor prognosis in LSCC patients. Furthermore, HOXA11-AS knockdown significantly inhibited the growth, migration, and invasion of LSCC cells.we speculated that HOXA11-AS might function through binding to proteins, such as transcription factors, in order to regulate the downstream genes. 29511452 2018 Expression of long non-coding RNA HOXA11-AS is correlated with progression of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Mechanistically, we found that the microRNA-186 inhibited HMGA2 expression by targeting the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of HMGA2 mRNA. Strikingly, HULC acted as a competing noncoding RNA to sequester miR-186 and thereby relieved miR-186-mediated HMGA2 repression. Previously, our group reported that HULC could be up-regulated by hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) through transcription factor CREB. HULC interacted with the 5-untranslated region (5-UTR) of CLOCK mRNA via complementary base pairing, resulting in the elevation of CLOCK expression. 28765279 2017 The long noncoding RNA HULC promotes liver cancer by increasing the expression of the HMGA2 oncogene via sequestration of the microRNA-186.

The high LINC00152 levels correlated positively with tumor status progression, lymph node invasion and TNM stage advancement. Functionally, we revealed that LINC00152 dramatically promoted cell proliferation, metastasis and inhibited apoptosis in vitro. In vivo, LINC00152 overexpression significantly promoted tumor growth. Mechanistic analyses indicated that LINC00152 could participate in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway, and transcription factor specificity protein 1 (SP1) induces its overexpression. 27829993 2016 Upregulation of long non-coding RNA LINC00152 by SP1 contributes to gallbladder cancer cell growth and tumor metastasis via PI3K/AKT pathway.

The gain- and loss-of-function investigation revealed that Linc00441 could promote the proliferation of HCC cells in vitro and in vivo with an apoptosis suppression and cell cycle rearrangement. Furthermore, RNA pull-down assay indicated the decreased level of RB1 induced by Linc00441 was associated with the incidental methylation by DNMT3A recruited by Linc00441. On the contrary, the transcription factor (TCF-4) enhanced H3K27 acetylation and direct transcription factor for Linc00441 was responsible for the upregulation of Linc00441 in HCC. 28300839 2017 Bidirectional transcription of Linc00441 and RB1 via H3K27 modification-dependent way promotes hepatocellular carcinoma.

Our studies found that LINC00461 positively affects both MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways. CyclinD1 binds to CDK4 and CDK6 (cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6) to phosphorylate retinoblastoma protein and activate the transcription factor E2F-1. In this study, we have found that LINC00461 regulates miRNA miR-9, which is the mature form of miR-9-2 gene.

Further experiments revealed that LINC00668 knockdown significantly repressed proliferation, both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic investigations showed that LINC00668 was a direct transcriptional target of E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1). We further demonstrated that LINC00668 was associated with PRC2 and that this association was required for epigenetic repression of cyclin-dependent protein kinase inhibitors (CKIs), including p15, p16, p21, p27 and p57, thus contributing to the regulation of the gastric cancer cell cycle. 27036039 2015 E2F1-induced upregulation of long noncoding RNA LINC00668 predicts a poor prognosis of gastric cancer and promotes cell proliferation through epigenetically silencing of CKIs LINC00673 LINC00673, HI-LNC75, HILNC75, LUCAIR1, SLNCR, SLNCR1 100499467 NA NR_036488 GRCh38_17:72403322-72592804 melanoma NA M8720/3 qPCR, Flow cytometry assay, RNA pull-down assay etc. cell lines (A375, HEK293T) up-regulated Increased expression of this lncRNA, SLNCR1, mediates melanoma invasion through a highly conserved sequence similar to that of the lncRNA SRA1.

Mechanistic investigations showed that MetaLnc9 interacted with the glycolytic kinase PGK1 and prevented its ubiquitination in NSCLC cells, leading to activation of the oncogenic AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. MetaLnc9 also interacted with P54nrb/NonO (NONO) to help mediate the activity of CRTC, a co-activator for the transcription factor CREB, reinforcing a positive feedback loop for metastasis.

CTD903 was proven to be an independent predicted factor of favorable prognosis in CRC patients by using multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. After knockdown of CTD903 in RKO and SW480, both cell invasion and migration increased, and cells exhibited EMT-like appearance, along with reduced adhering ability. Moreover, overexpression of CTD903 in DLD1 and HCT116 reversed these phenotypes. Furthermore, downregulation of CTD903 enhanced Wnt/B-catenin activation and subsequently increased transcription factors (Twist and Snail) expression, along with increased mesenchymal marker Vimentin and decreased epithelial marker ZO-1 level, while overexpressed CTD903 confirmed these associations. 27035092 2016 Overexpression of long non-coding RNA-CTD903 inhibits colorectal cancer invasion and migration by repressing Wnt/B-catenin signaling and predicts favorable prognosis LINC01503 lnc-PPP2R4-5 100506119 ENSG00000233901 NR_120685 GRCh38_9:129332300-129359538 squamous cell carcinoma NA M8070/3 RNA-seq, Microarray, qRT-PCR, Western blot, Luciferase reporter assay, in vitro knockdown, RNAi, RIP non-tumor esophageal tissues, cell lines (OE33 and FLO-1, TE7, TE5 and KYSE510, KYSE30 ) up-regulated High levels in SCCs correlated with shorter survival times of patients.

C-Myc transcriptionally enhances MTDH (metadherin) expression and subsequently activates Twist1 expression to induce EMT. Analysis of the epithelial marker E-cadherin and mesenchymal markers Vimentin and EMT-associated transcription factor Twist1 revealed that LINC01638 knockdown increased E-cadherin and reduced Vimentin and Twist1 expression at the mRNA (Fig. 2g) and protein (Fig. 2h) levels in MDA-MB-231 and BT549 cells, whereas LINC01638 overexpression showed an inverse effect in T47D cells (Fig. 2g, h). 30002443 2018 LINC01638 lncRNA activates MTDH-Twist1 signaling by preventing SPOP-mediated c-Myc degradation in triple-negative breast cancer.

LncZic2 drove the expression of myristoylated alanine-rich protein kinase C substrate (MARCKS) and MARCKS-like 1 (MARCKSL1), whose expression levels were increased during liver tumorigenesis and liver TIC self-renewal. Mechanistically, lncZic2 interacted with BRM/SWI2-related gene 1 (BRG1) and recruited this transcriptional regulator to the promoters of the MARCKS and MARCKSL1 gene, which activated expression of these genes. Moreover, we noted that depletion of lncZic2 and BRG1 decreases MARCKS and MARCKSL1 expression and diminishes liver TIC levels. In conclusion, LncZic2 is required for the self-renewal of liver TICs by up-regulating MARCKS and MARCKSL1 gene expression via the transcription factor BRG1. 29588366 2018 The long noncoding RNA lncZic2 drives the self-renewal of liver tumor-initiating cells via the protein kinase C substrates MARCKS and MARCKSL1.

We found that MALAT-1 expression in patients with acute monocytic leukemia (M5) was significantly increased when compared with that of healthy controls, and the overall survival of M5 patients with high MALAT-1 expression was markedly reduced when compared with the overall survival of patients with low MALAT-1 expression. MALAT-1 knockdown was found to induce upregulated protein expression of cyclin E and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) by silencing tumor suppressor gene p53 and activating transcription factor E2F, as a consequence of G1/S phase transition to G2 phase (29). 28713913 2017 Upregulation of long non-coding RNA MALAT-1 confers poor prognosis and influences cell proliferation and apoptosis in acute monocytic leukemia.

Attenuation of MALAT1 by RNA interference significantly lowered the growth, motility and stemness of GBM cells. In addition, silencing of MALAT1 clearly improved the sensitivity of GBM cells to chemotherapeutic agents including the current first-line therapy of GBM [temozolomide (TMZ)]. In animal models of GBM, tumor involution with a modest but statistically significant survival benefit was achieved with concurrent treatment of TMZ and nanocomplex-mediated silencing of MALAT1.Expressions of both OCT4 and NANOG, transcription factors known to maintain pluripotency and self-renewal of embryonic stem cells, were significantly reduced (34.2% and 20.2%, respectively) after scL-siMAL treatment. 29202181 2018 Targeted nanocomplex carrying siRNA against MALAT1 sensitizes glioblastoma to temozolomide.

MALAT1 served as a new prognostic factor in OSCC patients. When knockdown by small interfering RNA (siRNA) in OSCC cell lines TSCCA and Tca8113, MALAT1 was shown to be required for maintaining epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) mediated cell migration and invasion. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining showed that MALAT1 knockdown significantly suppressed N-cadherin and Vimentin expression but induced E-cadherin expression in vitro. Meanwhile, both nucleus and cytoplasm levels of B-catenin and NF-B were attenuated, while elevated MALAT1 level triggered the expression of B-catenin and NF-B. More importantly, targeting MALAT1 inhibited TSCCA cell-induced xenograft tumor growth in vivo. 26522444 2015 Long Non Coding RNA MALAT1 Promotes Tumor Growth and Metastasis by inducing Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

SRSF1 inhibited YAP activity by preventing its co-occupation with TCF/B-catenin on the Malat1 promoter. In contrast, overexpression of YAP impaired the nuclear retention of both SRSF1 and itself via an interaction with Angiomotin (AMOT). This effect removed the inhibitory role of SRSF1 on Malat1 in the nucleus. 24468535 2014 Mutual inhibition between YAP and SRSF1 maintains long non-coding RNA, Malat1-induced tumourigenesis in liver cancer.

Treatment with recombinant SOST resulted in ~5.6-fold reduction in MALAT1 expression, suggesting that Sost in the tumor microenvironment may have an inhibitory effect on MALAT1 and down-regulation of Sost in the bone microenvironment may enhance MALAT1 expression in prostate cancer. 27600237 2016 Cancer-Osteoblast Interaction Reduces Sost Expression in Osteoblasts and Up-Regulates lncRNA MALAT1 in Prostate Cancer.

Based on their expression level of MALAT1, the patients were divided into a high MALAT1 expression group and a low expression group. Patients with tumours harbouring higher expression of MALAT1 showed a significantly worse prognosis with a HR of 2.863 for DFS and 3.968 for OS. Furthermore, patients with perineural invasion demonstrated significantly worse DFS and OS than those without perineural invasion. 25031737 2014 High expression of lncRNA MALAT1 suggests a biomarker of poor prognosis in colorectal cancer.

Therefore, we hypothesized that EZH2 might be recruited by MALAT-1 to synergistically repress E-cadherin. To test this hypothesis, we first asked whether MALAT-1 bound to EZH2 using a RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. There was an average of 14- and 18- fold enrichment for MALAT-1 in the AsPC-1 and CFPAC-1 cells over-expressing EZH2, respectively, as compared to the IgG group. These results suggest that MALAT-1 is physically associated with the EZH2, and silencing EZH2 could increase E-cadherin transcription. 26848980 2016 EZH2 promotes cell migration and invasion but not alters cell proliferation by suppressing E-cadherin, partly through association with MALAT-1 in pancreatic cancer.

Expression of all four genes was increased in the poor responder group that are valuable markers for the prediction of osteosarcoma therapy outcome. Especially IMPDH2 and FTL are promising candidates for the stratification of osteosarcoma patients into low- and high-risk groups. Owing to their involvement in drug action these genes may further be potential targets for the modulation of drug sensitivity. 17660802 2007 Prognostic significance of drug-regulated genes in high-grade osteosarcoma.

We next conducted correlation analysis between MALAT1 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of CRC. A statistically significant association was observed between MALAT1 expression and extent of metastasis and invasion. In contrast to adjacent normal tissues, the MALAT1 expression in CRC tissues resected from patients with metastatic diseases was higher than those with no metastasis. 24244343 2013 Resveratrol inhibits invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells via MALAT1 mediated Wnt/B-Catenin signal pathway.

Assessment of the prognostic significance of MALAT1 in human breast cancer (n=1992) revealed elevated MALAT1 expression was associated with decreased disease-specific survival in ER negative, lymph node negative patients of the HER2 and TNBC molecular subtypes.

Moreover, MALAT-1 expression was higher in the high-metastatic-potential GC cell line SGC7901M than in the low-metastatic-potential GC cell line SGC7901NM. Silencing of MALAT-1 inhibited GC cell migration and invasion. In addition, suppressing MALAT-1 expression resulted in a decrease in the expression of the Epithelial-mesenchymal transition-associated marker vimentin and an increase in the expression of E-cadherin at both the mRNA and protein levels. 28276823 2017 The role of MALAT-1 in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer.

The down-regulation of MALAT1 by shRNA in CC cells inhibited the invasion and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Microarray analysis showed that the knockdown of MALAT1 up-regulated the epithelial markers E-cadherin and ZO-1, and down-regulated the mesenchymal markers B-catenin and Vimentin. 26798987 2016 Down-regulation of MALAT1 inhibits cervical cancer cell invasion and metastasis by inhibition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

During the malignant transformation of human hepatic epithelial (L-02) cells induced by a low concentration (2.0 μM) of arsenite, MALAT1 and HIF-2a are increased. In addition, arsenite-induced MALAT1 causes disassociation of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) protein from HIF-2a, therefore, alleviating VHL-mediated HIF-2a ubiquitination, which causes HIF-2a accumulation. In turn, HIF-2a transcriptionally regulates MALAT1, thus forming a positive feedback loop to ensure expression of arsenite-induced MALAT1 and HIF-2a, which are involved in malignant transformation. Moreover, MALAT1 and HIF-2a promote the invasive and metastatic capacities of arsenite-induced transformed L-02 cells and in HCC-LM3 cells. 26735578 2016 A MALAT1/HIF-2a feedback loop contributes to arsenite carcinogenesis.

Additionally, MEG3 knockdown decreased BMP4 transcription. Here we showed that MEG3 was critical for SOX2 transcriptional repression of the BMP4. MEG3, which is located near the BMP4 gene, could dissociate the transcription factor SOX2 from the BMP4 promoter. A stable complex containing the MEG3, SOX2, and the SOX2 consensus site of BMP4 suggested that MEG3 activated transcriptional activity by directly influencing SOX2 activity. 25753650 2015 Upregulation of lncRNA MEG3 Promotes Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells From Multiple Myeloma Patients By Targeting BMP4 Transcription.

We further found that MEG3 stimulates expression of the growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) by enhancing p53 binding to the GDF15 gene promoter. Interestingly, MEG3 does not stimulate p21(CIP1) expression, suggesting that MEG3 can regulate the specificity of p53 transcriptional activation. p53 degradation is mainly mediated by the mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2). We found that MDM2 levels were down-regulated in cells transfected with MEG3, suggesting that MDM2 suppression contributes at least in part to p53 accumulation induced by MEG3.

Furthermore, upregulation of Meg3 was able to re-sensitize the A549/DDP cells to cisplatin in vitro. Whereas downregulation of Meg3, by RNA interference, decreased the sensitivity of A549 cells to cisplatin. The results of the present study also demonstrated that the Meg3-mediated chemosensitivity enhancement was associated with the induction of cell-cycle arrest and increased apoptosis, through regulation of p53, B-catenin and survivin, which is a target gene of the WNT/B-catenin signaling pathway. 26059239 2015 Downregulation of Meg3 enhances cisplatin resistance of lung cancer cells through activation of the WNT/B-catenin signaling pathway.

To understand its cellular role, we performed RNAi and found that MINCR knockdown is associated with an impairment in cell cycle progression. Differential gene expression analysis after RNAi showed a significant enrichment of cell cycle genes among the genes down-regulated after MINCR knockdown. Interestingly, these genes are enriched in MYC binding sites in their promoters, suggesting that MINCR acts as a modulator of the MYC transcriptional program. Accordingly, MINCR knockdown was associated with a reduction in MYC binding to the promoters of selected cell cycle genes. 26351698 2015 MINCR is a MYC-induced lncRNA able to modulate MYC's transcriptional network in Burkitt lymphoma cells.

By associating with the RNA-binding protein TIAR, MT1JP enhanced the translation of the master transcription factor p53, thereby regulating a series of pathways involving p53, such as the cell cycle, apoptosis and proliferation. When MT1JP was down-regulated, the protein level of p53 declined, which in turn accelerated cell deterioration and tumor formation. Moreover, differential expression of MT1JP in cancerous and normal tissues suggests that it may be a promising prognostic marker and a therapeutic target. 26909858 2016 LncRNA MT1JP functions as a tumor suppressor by interacting with TIAR to modulate the p53 pathway.

Furthermore, NEAT1 mRNA expression was repressed in a number of leukemia cell lines, including K562, THP-1, HL-60 and Jurkat cells, compared with peripheral white blood control cells, consistent with the expression observed in patients with leukemia. In addition, the transfection of a NEAT1 overexpression plasmid into K562 and THP-1 leukemia cell lines alleviated MDR induced by cytotoxic agents, such as Alisertib and Bortezomib, through inhibition of ATP-binding cassette G2. 27446393 2016 Overexpression of lncRNA NEAT1 mitigates multidrug resistance by inhibiting ABCG2 in leukemia.

Moreover, the expression of C/EBPB was increased after ATRA treatment, and the binding of C/EBPB in the NEAT1 promoter was also dramatically increased. Finally, knockdown of C/EBPB significantly reduced the ATRA-induced upregulation of NEAT1. In conclusion, C/EBPB directly activates the expression of NEAT1 through binding to the promoter of NEAT1. Knockdown of C/EBPB impairs ATRA-induced transcriptional activation of NEAT1. 29111326 2018 C/EBPB contributes to transcriptional activation of long non-coding RNA NEAT1 during APL cell differentiation.

Our results also indicated that NKILA inhibited the progression of cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and promoted apoptosis of melanoma cells. Furthermore, qRT-PCR showed that NF-kB, which was negatively correlated with NKILA, was highly expressed in human melanoma tissues. Moreover, our results indicated that NKILA inhibited the carcinogenesis of melanoma cells through the inhibition of NF-B in vitro. More importantly, we found that NKILA suppressed the growth of melanoma tumors via NF-B in vivo. 28123845 2017 The long non-coding RNA NKILA inhibits the invasion-metastasis cascade of malignant melanoma via the regulation of NF-B.

BLS-211 is lack of endogenous UCA1 expression and is derived from the same patient as BLZ-211 cell line. Interestingly, after knocking down the Ets-2 gene, we didn’t observed subsequent apoptosis in BLS-211 cells. Additionally, we counted the apoptotic cells using flow cytometry in both cell lines separately. Consistent with the fluorescence microscope results, the flow cytometry results revealed a significant increase of cell pro-apoptosis (upper right quadrant) after Ets-2 knockdown in BLZ-211 cells while no increase of pro-apoptosis was observed after Ets-2 knockdown in BLS-211 cells. These results suggested that UCA1 may be involved in the cell apoptosis induced by the suppression of the Ets-2. 24069250 2013 Ets-2 regulates cell apoptosis via the Akt pathway, through the regulation of urothelial cancer associated 1, a long non-coding RNA, in bladder cancer cells.
