Abstract Chronic inflammation promotes the tumorigenesis and cell stemness maintenance of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the bridge role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in linking chronic inflammation to CRC development and progression needs better understanding. Here, we elucidated a novel function of lncRNA GMDS-AS1 in persistently activated signal transducer and transcription activator 3 (STAT3) and Wnt signaling and CRC tumorigenesis. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Wnt3a induced lncRNA GMDS-AS1 expression, which was highly expressed in the CRC tissues and plasma of CRC patients. GMDS-AS1 knockdown impaired the survival, proliferation and stem cell-like phenotype acquisition of CRC cells in vitro and in vivo. We performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and mass spectrometry (MS) to probe target proteins and identify their contributions to the downstream signaling pathways of GMDS-AS1. In CRC cells, GMDS-AS1 physically interacted with the RNA-stabilizing protein HuR, thereby protecting the HuR protein from polyubiquitination- and proteasome-dependent degradation. HuR stabilized STAT3 mRNA and upregulated the levels of basal and phosphorylated STAT3 protein, persistently activating STAT3 signaling. Our research revealed that the lncRNA GMDS-AS1 and its direct target HuR constitutively activate STAT3/Wnt signaling and promote CRC tumorigenesis, the GMDS-AS1-HuR-STAT3/Wnt axis is a therapeutic, diagnostic and prognostic target in CRC. |
