Abstract:
Carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase 1 intronic transcript 1 (CPS1-IT1) is identified recently as a novel tumor suppressive long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). However, the expression status and clinical significance of CPS1-IT1 expression remained unknown in glioma. In our study, we observed CPS1-IT1 levels were decreased in glioma tissues and cells compared with paired normal brain tissues and human astrocyte cell line, respectively. Moreover, we analyzed the associations of CPS1-IT1 expression with clinicopathological characteristics, and found low CPS1-IT1 expression was correlated with high World Health Organisation (WHO) grade and large tumor size in glioma patients. Survival analysis showed glioma patients in low CPS1-IT1 expression group had shorter overall survival than those in high CPS1-IT1 expression group, and low CPS1-IT1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in glioma patients. The in vitro studies suggested up-regulation of CPS1-IT1 expression resulted in the decrease of proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of glioma cells. In conclusion, CPS1-IT1 plays an anti-oncogenic role in glioma.

The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
