Abstract Background and objectives Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) prostate androgen-regulated transcript 1 (PART1) was previously shown to exert an oncogenic role in several human cancers. However, whether PART1 is associated with the malignant progression of pancreatic cancer remains unclear. In the current study, we aimed to identify the role and potential mechanism of PART1 in pancreatic cancer. Methods qRT-PCR was applied to detect PART1 expression in 45 cases of pancreatic cancer patients. The chi-square test was performed to assess the association between PART1 expression and clinicopathologic features, and Kaplan-Meier method was applied to evaluate overall survival. In vitro CCK-8, transwell invasion, and flow cytometry assays were applied to detect the effects of PART1 on cell proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis, respectively. Luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays were used to identify the regulatory mechanism between PART1 and miR-122. Results PART1 expression was upregulated in pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines. High PART1 expression was closely correlated with tumor size, T classification, clinical stage, and vascular invasion, and predicted a poor overall survival. PART1 knockdown significantly suppressed cell proliferation and invasion abilities of pancreatic cancer but promoted cell apoptosis. PART1 was found to serve as a molecular sponge of miR-122, and miR-122 inhibition partially reversed the inhibitory phenotypes of PART1 knockdown on pancreatic cancer cells. Conclusions PART1 promotes the malignant progression of pancreatic cancer by sponging miR-122. The PART1/miR-122 axis might be a promising target for anticancer therapy in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Background/Aims: Mounting evidence suggests that epitranscriptional modifications regulate multiple cellular processes. N6-Methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant reversible methylation of mRNA, has critical roles in cancer pathogenesis. However, the mechanisms and functions of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) methylation remain unclear. Pancreatic cancer resulted in 411,600 deaths globally in 2015. By the time of pancreatic cancer diagnosis, metastasis has often occurred in other parts of the body. The present study sought to investigate lncRNA m6A modification and its roles in pancreatic cancer. Methods: Differential expression between cancer cells and matched normal cells was evaluated to identify candidate lncRNAs. The lncRNA KCNK15-AS1 was detected in cancer tissues and various pancreatic cells using RT-qPCR. KCNK15-AS1 was transfected into cells to explore its role in migration and invasion. Then, m6A RNA immunoprecipitation was performed to detect methylated KCNK15-AS1 in tissues and cells. Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers were used to evaluate KCNK15-AS1-mediated EMT processes. Results: KCNK15-AS1 was downregulated in pancreatic cancer tissues compared with paired adjacent normal tissues. KCNK15-AS1 inhibited migration and invasion in MIA PaCa-2 and BxPC-3 cells. Furthermore, total RNA methylation in cancer cells was significantly enriched relative to that in immortalized human pancreatic duct epithelial (HPDE6-C7) cells. In addition, the m6A eraser ALKBH5 was downregulated in cancer cells, which can demethylate KCNK15-AS1 and regulate KCNK15-AS1-mediated cell motility. Conclusion: Our results have revealed a novel mechanism by which ALKBH5 inhibits pancreatic cancer motility by demethylating lncRNA KCNK15-AS1, identifying a potential therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.
