The two broad histological subtypes of lung cancer are small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which are the leading causes of cancer-related death in the world. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been verified to be critical in the regulation of cancer development. The present study identified and elucidated the regulatory roles of a novel lncRNA MRUL in NSCLC. The results showed that MRUL was overexpressed in NSCLC samples and correlated with the poor prognosis of patients who had NSCLC. Moreover, this research has for the first time demonstrated that MRUL acted as an oncogenetic lncRNA in NSCLC. Knockdown of MRUL considerably repressed NSCLC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. The bioinformatics analysis showed that MRUL was involved in regulating multiple RNA splicing and proliferation-related biological processes, such as mRNA splicing, RNA splicing, mRNA processing, mRNA 3 ′ -end processing, mRNA splice site selection, and DNA replication. By combining bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation, we found that MRUL regulated NSCLC progression through promoting SRSF2 by sponging miR-17 in NSCLC cells. The discoveries indicated that MRUL could be a therapeutic target and a potential diagnostic for NSCLC.

Abstract Background MCM3AP-AS1 is a recently characterized lncRNA playing an oncogenic role in several cancers. However, its role in lung cancer remains unknown. Here, we aimed to explore the functions of MCM3AP-AS1 in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and the possible underlying mechanisms. Methods MCM3AP-AS1 and ROCK1 levels in SCLC patients were analyzed by qPCR. RNA pull-down and luciferase assays were performed to analyze the interaction between MCM3AP-AS1 and miR-148a. ROCK1 mRNA and protein levels were detected by qPCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell invasion and migration were analyzed by Transwell assays. Results MCM3AP-AS1 was upregulated in patients with SCLC, and a high MCM3AP-AS1 level was accompanied by a low survival rate. The binding of MCM3AP-AS1 to miR-148a predicted by bioinformatics analysis was verified by RNA pull-down and luciferase assays. However, MCM3AP-AS1 and miR-148a did not affect each other’s expression. ROCK1 was upregulated in SCLC tissues and positively correlated with MCM3AP-AS1. In SCLC cells, MCM3AP-AS1 overexpression increased ROCK1 and promoted cancer cell invasion and migration, while miR-148a overexpression showed the opposite effects and attenuated the effects of MCM3AP-AS1 overexpression on ROCK1 expression and cell behaviors. Conclusions MCM3AP-AS1 sponges miR-148a, thereby increasing SCLC cell invasion and migration via upregulating ROCK1 expression.

Abstract Background: LncRNA PSMG3‑AS1 plays oncogenic role in breast cancer. However, its role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is hardly known. We then studied the role of PSMG3‑AS1 in NSCLC.Methods: RT-qPCR was performed to determine the expression of PSMG3‑AS1 in NSCLC and non-tumor tissues from 60 NSCLC patients. A survival analysis was carried out to visit patients for 5 years to study the role PSMG3‑AS1 in prediction the survival of NSCLC. NSCLC cells were overexpressed with miR-340 or PSMG3‑AS1 to analyze the crosstalk between PSMG3‑AS1 and miR-340. MSP was performed to analyze the methylation of miR-340 miRNA gene. The invasion and migration abilities of cells were determind by Transwell assays.Results: PSMG3‑AS1 was highly expressed in NSCLC and was closely correlated poor survival. PSMG3‑AS1 and miR340 were inversely correlated. In NSCLC cells, PSMG3‑AS1 decreased the expression of miR-340 and increased methylation of miR-340 gene. However, miR-340 overexpression did not significantly affect the expression of PSMG3‑AS1. In addition, PSMG3‑AS1 overexpression resulted in upregulated expression of ROCK1. PSMG3‑AS1 and ROCK1 overexpression increased cell invasion and migration rates. MiR-340 overexpression suppressed cell behaviors and inhibited the role of PSMG3‑AS1.Conclusions: PSMG3‑AS1 may downregulate miR-340 through methylation to upregulate ROCK1 and promote cell invasion and migration in NSCLC.
