Abstract |
Cervical cancer is a common tumor type and a leading cause of tumor death among female in the world. However, the molecular mechanisms revealing the cervical cancer progression have not been fully investigated. Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) PITPNA-AS1 is a newly found lncRNA, showing the promoting role in tumor growth. But its effects on cervical cancer development still remain unknown. In the study, we found that PITPNA-AS1 was markedly increased in human cervical cancer tissues and cell lines. PITPNA-AS1 over-expression elevated the proliferation of cervical cancer cells, whereas PITPNA-AS1 knockdown reduced the cell proliferation. Moreover, PITPNA-AS1 knockdown markedly accelerated the G0/G1 and reduced the G2/M phase transitions through decreasing the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-2/4/6 and CyclinD1 expression levels. In addition, apoptosis was significantly induced by PITPNA-AS1 knockdown in cervical cancer cells. Importantly, PITPNA-AS1 was identified as the sponge of miR-876-5p, and a negative correlation was detected between PITPNA-AS1 and miR-876-5p in cervical cancer samples. Moreover, tyrosine-protein kinase MET (c-MET) was identified to be a down-streaming target gene of miR-876-5p in cervical cancer cells. PITPNA-AS1 meditated the effects of c-MET on the proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle in cervical cancer cells by adsorbing miR-876-5p. In summary, targeting the PITPNA-AS1-associated signaling could be a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cervical cancer.
