E2F1-regulated long non-coding RNA RAD51-AS1 promotes cell cycle progression, inhibits apoptosis and predicts poor prognosis in epithelial ovarian cancer
Abstract Long non-coding RNA RAD51 antisense RNA 1 (RAD51-AS1, also known as TODRA) has been shown to be down-regulated by E2F1, a key cell cycle and apoptosis regulator, in breast cancer. Little is known regarding the role of RAD51-AS1 in disease. Here, we investigate the role of RAD51-AS1 in epith...

| Sumario: | Abstract Long non-coding RNA RAD51 antisense RNA 1 (RAD51-AS1, also known as TODRA) has been shown to be down-regulated by E2F1, a key cell cycle and apoptosis regulator, in breast cancer. Little is known regarding the role of RAD51-AS1 in disease. Here, we investigate the role of RAD51-AS1 in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Using luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments, we verified RAD51-AS1 as a target of E2F1 under negative regulation in EOC. We then examined RAD51-AS1 expression in EOC samples using in situ hybridization (ISH). RAD51-AS1 was localized to the nucleus and found to be a critical marker for clinical features that significantly correlated with poor survival in EOC patients. RAD51-AS1 was also an independent prognostic factor for EOC. Overexpression of RAD51-AS1 promoted EOC cell proliferation, while silencing of RAD51-AS1 inhibited EOC cell proliferation, delayed cell cycle progression and promoted apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. RAD51-AS1 may participate in carcinogenesis via regulation of p53 and p53-related genes. Our study highlights the role of RAD51-AS1 as a prognostic marker of EOC. Based on its regulation of the tumor suppressor p53, RAD51-AS1-based therapy may represent a viable therapeutic option for EOC in the near future. |
