Sumario:Zhenghua Liu, Shize Yang, Siyu Zhou, Shiyao Dong, Jiang Du Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, 110001, Liaoning Province, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Jiang DuDepartment of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, No. 155 North Nanjing Street, Heping District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, People’s Republic of ChinaTel/Fax +86-24-961200Email dujiang02116@163.comPurpose: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a most common malignant tumor, even worse for diseases with relatively poor prognosis. Non-coding RNAs have the potential to be biomarkers for the prognosis of various cancers. LncRNA DRAIC and miR-3940-3p have been screened as dysregulated RNAs in LUAD. The clinical significance and biological function of lncRNA DRAIC and miR-3940-3p in LUAD were assessed in this study.Patients and Methods: A total of 122 cases of LUAD patients with complete clinical information were enrolled. The expression levels of lncRNA DRAIC and miR-3940-3p were determined via RT-qPCR in LUAD tissues and cells. The relationship between lncRNA DRAIC or miR-3940-3p expression and the clinicopathological features of patients was analyzed based on the Pearson Chi-square test. For the prognostic value, the Kaplan–Meier plot and multi-variate Cox proportional regression analysis were introduced. Finally, the effect of lnc DRAIC and miR-3940-3p on the LUAD cellular function was investigated by CCK-8 and Transwell assay.Results: lnc DRAIC was upregulated in LUAD tissues and cells, but miR-3940-3p was downregulated. Both of them showed significant associations with and TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and a poor prognosis. Lnc-DRAIC and miR-3940-3p have the potential as independent prognostic factors for LUAD. Furthermore, the inhibition of lnc DRAIC can inhibit cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of LUAD partly as a ceRNA of miR-3940-3p.Conclusion: lncRNA DRAIC/miR-3940-3p axis may be involved in the progression of LUAD and can be developed to promising prognostic factors, which may provide new insights into the treatment of LUAD.Keywords: lung adenocarcinoma, lncRNA DRAIC, miR-3940-3p, progression, prognosis
