Long non-coding RNA KCNQ1OT1 facilitates the progression of cervical cancer and tumor growth through modulating miR-296-5p/HYOU1 axis
Literature reports that lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 is markedly up-regulated in cervical cancer (CC) tissues and cell lines, and KCNQ1OT1 can promote the proliferation and metastasis of CC cells. This current work was designed to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the participation of KCNQ1OT1 in CC...

This current work was designed to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the participation of KCNQ1OT1 in CC progression. Herein, RT-qPCR was utilized for determining the levels of KCNQ1OT1, miR-296-5p and HYOU1 in clinical tumor tissue specimens and CC cell lines.

Dual-luciferase reporter assay/RIP assay validated the interplays among KCNQ1OT1/miR-296-5p/HYOU1. In addition, CCK-8, wound healing and transwell assays were employed to assess the proliferative, migrative and invasive properties of CC cells. Moreover, nude mice xenograft model was established by subcutaneously injection with SiHa cells in order to validate the precise functions of KCNQ1OT1/miR-296-5p/HYOU1 axis in CC in vivo. Besides, Immunohistochemical staining examined Ki-67 expression in xenograft tumors and western blotting analysis detected expressions of MMP2/9 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in CC cells and xenograft tumors. Elevated KCNQ1OT1 and HYOU1 as well as reduced miR-296-5p were observed in clinical tumor tissue specimens and CC cell lines. Results revealed that upregulation of miR-296-5p counteracted the enhancing effects of overexpressed KCNQ1OT1 on the proliferative, migrative and invasive abilities of CC cells.
