Objective:
To investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA CCAT1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of prostate cancer PC-3 cells.
Patients And Methods:
The expression of CCAT1 was detected by Real-time PCR. The effect of CCAT1 down-regulation on the proliferation of PC-3 cells was observed by MTT assay. The regulatory of CCAT1 low-expression on the migration ability of PC-3 cells was investigated by transwell assay. The influence of decreased CCAT1 on the invasion ability of PC-3 cells was detected by Matrigel invasion assay.
Results:
Increased CCAT1 was significantly related to lymph node metastasis in prostate cancer. Low-expression of CCAT1 could suppress cell proliferation. Knockdown of CCAT1 inhibited the migration of PC-3 cells. Down-regulation of CCAT1 attenuated the invasion of PC-3 cells.
Conclusions:
CCAT1 promoted the growth and the metastasis of prostate cancer. Our findings might provide a potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
