Abstract Background The crucial role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been certified in human cancers. The lncRNAs with abnormal expressions could act as tumor inhibitors or oncogenes in the advancement of tumors. LBX2-AS1 was once reported to accelerate esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Nonetheless, its function in gastric cancer (GC) remained a riddle. Methods RT-qPCR was used to examine the expression of NFIC/LBX2-AS1/miR-491-5p/ZNF703 in GC cell lines. The functions of LBX2-AS1 in GC were appraised by colony formation, EdU, flow cytometry analysis, transwell and wound healing assays. Luciferase reporter, ChIP and RNA pull down assays were utilized to evaluate the interactions among genes. Results LBX2-AS1 was up-regulated in GC cell lines. Knockdown of LBX2-AS1 repressed the proliferative, migratory, and invasive abilities of GC cells. Moreover, LBX2-AS1 was transcriptionally activated by NFIC. And LBX2-AS1 could bind with miR-491-5p. Besides, miR-491-5p depletion or ZNF703 upregulation could counteract the repressing effects of LBX2-AS1 silence on GC progression. Conclusion In a word, LBX2-AS1 up-regulated by NFIC promoted GC progression via targeting miR-491-5p/ZNF703, implying LBX2-AS1 was an underlying treatment target for GC patients. |
