LINC00857 promotes colorectal cancer progression by sponging miR-150-5p and upregulating HMGB3 (High Mobility Group Box 3) expression
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed malignant tumor worldwide. LINC00857 has been reported as a dysregulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in the genesis and development of different cancers.

| Résumé: | Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed malignant tumor worldwide. LINC00857 has been reported as a dysregulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in the genesis and development of different cancers. In CRC, accumulating evidence indicates that high mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) is over-expressed and contributes to CRC development. However, the mechanism underlying HMGB3 upregulation in CRC remains unclear. The present work aims to investigate the role of LINC00857 and its functional interaction with HMGB3 in regulating CRC progression. Differential expression of LINC00857 between CRC tissues and normal tissues was identified in TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) database. In vitro functional assays were performed to explore the biological functions of LINC00857 in CRC cells. In vivo xenograft model was employed to investigate the role of LINC00857 in CRC tumorigenesis. We found that LINC00857 was significant upregulated in CRC tissues and cell lines. LINC01207 knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells, and also induced apoptosis. Moreover, LINC00857 knockdown suppressed CRC tumorigenesis in vivo. We further demonstrated that the effects of LINC00857 in CRC cells were mediated through miR-150-5p/HMGB3 axis. LINC00857 negatively regulates the activity of miR-150-5p, which releases its inhibition on HMGB3 expression. Our data indicate that LINC00857/miR-150-5p/HMGB3 axis plays a fundamental role in regulating the malignant phenotype and tumorigenesis of CRC. Targeting this axis may serve as novel therapeutic strategies for CRC treatment. |
