| Popis: | Background LncRNA LINC00662 is closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer. This study aims to explore the effect of LINC00662 on colon cancer tumor growth and metastasis and its molecular mechanism. Methods CCK8, colony formation, transwell, scratch wound, TUNEL, flow cytometry, RT-PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry assays were used to detect the proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration of colon cancer cell and mRNA and protein expressions. Luciferase reporter and RNA pull down assays were used to detect the combination of LINC00662 and miR-340-5p or IL22 and the combination of miR-340-5p and CLDN8/IL22. Co-immunoprecipitation were used to detect the co-expression of CLDN8 and IL22 in colon cell lines. The targets of LINC00662 were predicated by Starbase v2.0. The target genes of miR-340-5p were predicated by miRDB and TargetScan. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed by DAVID website. Results LINC00662 was up-regulation in colon cancer tissues and cell lines. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that the LINC00662 expression level was related to the poor prognosis. LINC00662-WT and miR-340-5p mimics co-transfection depressed luciferase activity and IL22/CLDN8-WT and miR-340-5p inhibitors co-transfection memorably motivated luciferase activity. LINC00662 overexpression promoted cell proliferation, invasion and migration, and inhibited cell apoptosis in colon cancer. In vivo xenograft studies in nude mice manifested that LINC00662 overexpression prominently accelerate tumor growth. There was an opposite reaction in the biological functions of colon cells and tumor growth between LINC00662 overexpression and LINC00662 inhibition in vitro and in vivo. The functions of miR-340-5p mimics regulating the biological functions of colon cells and tumor growth were consistent with those of LINC00662 inhibition. CLDN8 and IL22, as target genes of miR-340-5p, reversed the functions of LINC00662 affecting the biological functions of colon cells and the protein levels of Bax, Bcl-2, XIAP, VEGF, MMP-2, E-cadherin and N-cadherin. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments indicated that CLDN8 directly interact with IL22 in colon cell lines. LINC00662 regulated CLDN8 and IL22 expressions and the activation of ERK signaling pathway via targeting miR-340-5p. Conclusion LINC00662 overexpression promoted the occurrence and development of colon cancer by competitively binding with miR-340-5p to regulate CLDN8/IL22 co-expression and activating ERK signaling pathway. |
