Abstrakt: It is well recognized that metastasis can occur early in the course of lung adenocarcinoma (LAD) development, and yet the molecular mechanisms driving this capability of rapid metastasis remain incompletely understood. Here we reported that a long noncoding RNA, LINC00673, was up-regulated in LAD cells. Of note, we first found that LINC00673-v4 was the most abundant transcript of LINC00673 in LAD cells and its expression was associated with adverse clinical outcome of LAD. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that LINC00673-v4 enhanced invasiveness, migration, and metastasis of LAD cells. Mechanistically, LINC00673-v4 augmented the interaction between DDX3 and CK1ε and thus the phosphorylation of dishevelled, which subsequently activated WNT/β-catenin signaling and consequently caused aggressiveness of LAD. Antagonizing LINC00673-v4 suppressed LAD metastasis in vivo. Together, our data suggest that LINC00673-v4 is a driver molecule for metastasis via constitutively activating WNT/β-catenin signaling in LAD and may represent a potential therapeutic target against the metastasis of LAD.
