Abstract:
The functions of Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HOXB-AS1 have been investigated in glioblastoma and multiple myeloma. However, the role of lncRNA HOXB-AS1 in endometrial carcinoma (EC) remains largely unknown. This study investigated the underlying mechanisms of the lncRNA HOXB-AS1 on the progression of EC. In this study, We found that HOXB-AS1 expression was significantly upregulated in EC tissue samples and was associated with shorter survival time. Furthermore, upregulation of HOXB-AS1 promoted proliferation, invasion, and migration of EC cell. HOXB-AS1 and Wnt10b directly bound to miR-149-3p. HOXB-AS1 increased the expression of Wnt10b by binding to miR-149-3p. We further verified the upregulation of β-catenin, cyclin D1, and c-myc induced by HOXB-AS1. In conclusion, our results indicated that HOXB-AS1 exerted oncogenic function as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miR-149-3p to release Wnt10b and activated Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
