Long noncoding RNA CCAL promotes gastric cancer cell proliferation and migration in a Myc dependent way
Aims:
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in cancers, yet their potential molecular mechanisms are not well understood. The objective of this study is to examine the expression, biological functions and mechanism of lncRNA CCAL in gastric cancer (GC).
Methods:
MTT and Colony formation assay were used to detect cell proliferation and the colony formation ability of gastric cancer cells. Wound healing, Migration, and invasion assay were respectively used to explore the migration, and invasion in gastric cancer cell lines. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to determine the expression level of CCAL. Western Blot was used to determine the expression of related proteins.
Results:
In the present study, we found that CCAL was upregulated in gastric cancer cell lines. Patients whose tumors had high CCAL expression had a shorter overall survival than patients whose tumors had low CCAL expression. Overexpression CCAL promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of GC by regulating the expression of myc.
Conclusion:
The present study reveals that CCAL is an oncogenic lncRNA that promotes the tumorigenesis and progression of GC.
