Popis: Objective·To investigate the biological roles and associated mechanisms of the hypoxia-induced long non-coding RNA 68 (HILRNA68) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines.Methods·Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) microarray analysis was conducted to study the differential expression of lncRNAs in the HCC cell lines cultured under hypoxia treatment and normoxia treatment separately for 12 h, and DEseq2 R package was used for the analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to determine the differential lncRNAs. Short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) were used to knock down hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) to investigate whether HILRNA68 transcription was regulated by HIFs under hypoxia. Nucleus-cytoplasmic isolation combined with qRT-PCR and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA-FISH) experiments were used to investigate the subcellular localization of HILRNA68. HILRNA68 was knocked down in SMMC-7721 and MHCC-97H cells by small interfering RNA (siRNA) to investigate its cellular function under hypoxia. The impact of HILRNA68 on the cell proliferation and invasion capabilities of HCC cells under hypoxia was examined by cell counting and Transwell assays. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was employed to identify how HILRNA68 regulated the transcriptional activity of HIFs under hypoxia.Results·By differential expression analysis of lncRNAs, a total of 247 and 17 significantly (defined as fold change≥4, FDR≤0.05) up- and down-regulated lncRNAs, respectively, were identified. Among these differentially expressed genes, lncRNA HILRNA68 was up-regulated about 10-fold in multiple HCC cell lines when cultured under hypoxia for 12 h. Knockdown of HIF1α, HIF2α, and HIF1β significantly suppressed (all P
