Popis: Abstract lncRNA can regulate tumorigenesis development and distant metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the detailed molecular mechanisms are still largely unknown. Using RNA-sequencing data, RT-qPCR, and FISH assay, we found that HIF1A-AS2 was upregulated in CRC tissues and associated with poor prognosis. Functional experiments were performed to determine the roles of HIF1A-AS2 in tumor progression and we found that HIF1A-AS2 can promote the proliferation, metastasis, and aerobic glycolysis of CRC cells. Mechanistically, HIF1A-AS2 can promote FOXC1 expression by sponging miR-141-3p. SP1 can transcriptionally activate HIF1A-AS2. Further, HIF1A-AS2 can be packaged into exosomes and promote the malignant phenotype of recipient tumor cells. Taken together, we discovered that SP1-induced HIF1A-AS2 can promote the metabolic reprogramming and progression of CRC via miR-141-3p/FOXC1 axis. HIF1A-AS2 is a promising diagnostic marker and treatment target in CRC.
