Objectives:
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are extensively reported as participants in the biological process of diverse malignancies, including lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 519 (LINC00519) is identified as a novel lncRNA which has not yet been studied in cancers.
Materials And Methods:
LINC00519 expression was detected by qRT-PCR. The effect of LINC00519 on LUSC cellular activities was determined by in vitro and in vivo assays. Subcellular fractionation and FISH assays were conducted to identify the localization of LINC00519. The interaction between miR-450b-5p/miR-515-5p and LINC00519/YAP1 was verified by RIP, RNA pull-down and luciferase reporter assays.
Results:
Elevated level of LINC00519 was identified in LUSC tissues and cell lines. High LINC00519 level predicted unsatisfactory prognosis. Then, loss-of-function assays suggested the inhibitive role of silenced LINC00519 in cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tumour growth and promoting effect on cell apoptosis in LUSC. Mechanically, LINC00519 was activated by H3K27 acetylation (H3K27ac). Moreover, LINC00519 sponged miR-450b-5p and miR-515-5p to up-regulate Yes1 associated transcriptional regulator (YAP1). Additionally, miR-450b-5p and miR-515-5p elicited anti-carcinogenic effects in LUSC. Finally, rescue assays validated the effect of LINC00519-miR-450b-5p-miR-515-5p-YAP1 axis in LUSC.
Conclusions:
H3K27ac-activated LINC00519 acts as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to promote LUSC progression by targeting miR-450b-5p/miR-515-5p/YAP1 axis.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
