Background/Aims: Recent studies have reported the importance of tubulin alpha 4b (TUBA4B), a long non-coding RNA, in the development of several cancers; however, studies on its clinical significance are rare. In the present meta-analysis, we investigated whether TUBA4B can be used as a prognostic biomarker in human cancers. Methods: A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Gene Expression Omnibus databases. Hazard ratios from individual studies were calculated and pooled using a random-effects or fix-effects model. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to evaluate the value of TUBA4B. The expression of TUBA4B was evaluated in lung cancer tissue arrays by fluorescence in situ hybridization assay. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis and Begg’s test were conducted. Results: We found that TUBA4B was significantly correlated with overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.16–1.52, P=0.000), disease-free survival (DFS; HR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.06–1.48, P=0.007), and recurrence-free survival (RFS; HR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.26–1.60, P=0.000). In addition, TUBA4B was a risk factor for lung cancer (HR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.03–1.49, P=0.021), colon cancer (HR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.02–2.74, P=0.042), breast cancer (HR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.10–2.12, P=0.012), and ovarian cancer (HR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.18–2.36, P=0.004). Moreover, LncRNA-TUBA4B was significantly lower expression in tumor tissues than normal lung tissues (P< 0.001). The expression of lncRNA-TUBA4B was decreased with the progression of lung cancer stage. A subgroup meta-analysis based on data resource, sample size, region, patient numbers, and tumor type was further performed. Our studies revealed that tumor tissues with low levels of TUBA4B was significantly associated with short OS, DFS, and RFS in cancer patients. Conclusion: The present findings suggest that TUBA4B can be a novel biomarker for the prognosis of various cancers.

AbstractActin filament associated protein 1 antisense RNA 1 (named AFAP1-AS1) is a long non-coding RNA and overexpressed in many cancers. This study aimed to identify the role and mechanism of AFAP1-AS1 in lung cancer. The AFAP1-AS1 expression was firstly assessed in 187 paraffin-embedded lung cancer and 36 normal lung epithelial tissues by in situ hybridization. The migration and invasion abilities of AFAP1-AS1 were investigated in lung cancer cells. To uncover the molecular mechanism about AFAP1-AS1 function in lung cancer, we screened proteins that interact with AFAP1-AS1 by RNA pull down and the mass spectrometry analyses. AFAP1-AS1 was highly expressed in lung cancer clinical tissues and its expression was positively correlated with lung cancer patients’ poor prognosis. In vivo experiments confirmed that AFAP1-AS1 could promote lung cancer metastasis. AFAP1-AS1 promoted lung cancer cells migration and invasion through interacting with Smad nuclear interacting protein 1 (named SNIP1), which inhibited ubiquitination and degradation of c-Myc protein. Upregulation of c-Myc molecule in turn promoted the expression of ZEB1, ZEB2, and SNAIL gene, which ultimately enhanced epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and lung cancer metastasis. Understanding the molecular mechanism by which AFAP1-AS1 promotes lung cancer’s migration and invasion may provide novel therapeutic targets for lung cancer patients’ early diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 5 antisense RNA 1 (FGD5-AS1) has been reported as an oncogene in colorectal cancer, promoting its tumorgenesis. The present paper focused on searching the potential function of FGD5-AS1 in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). There are connections between the expression of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and human NSCLC tumor growth and progression. Also, the relationships between FGD5-AS1, hsa-miR-107 and mRNA fibroblast growth factor receptor like 1 (FGFRL1) are going to test their interaction in NSCLC cell lines, which may cause a series of biological behaviors of NSCLC cells. qRT-PCR analysis was conducted to test the expression of RNAs in different situation. CCK-8 experiment and clone formation assay were performed to assess proliferation of NSCLC cells. Also, connection between FGD5-AS1 and hsa-miR-107 were investigated by luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull-down assay. Rescue experiments were performed to verify the modulating relationship between FGD5-AS1, hsa-miR-107 and FGFRL1. High-level expression of FGD5-AS1 was found in NSCLC. FGD5-AS1 may promote the proliferation of NSCLC cells. Also, the combination between hsa-miR-107, FGD5-AS1 and NSCLC have been proved, which means they can play an interaction function in NSCLC cells. Thence, we concluded that lncRNA FGD5-AS1 promotes non-small cell lung cancer cell proliferation through sponging hsa-miR-107 to up-regulate FGFRL1.
