Abstract:
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the serious malignant diseases, accounting for several cases globally. The prevention, discovery and cure of GC depend on its molecular mechanism. In recent decades, it has been increasingly recognized that the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been involved in GC progression. Therefore, the present study is aimed at identifying relevant lncRNAs that could act as biomarkers for GC prognosis. LncRNA HOXA10-AS is identified to be highly expressed in GC using the ENCORI database. Kaplan-Meier plot analysis indicated that the survival rate of the patient is associated with the expression of lncRNA HOXA10-AS. Interference of HOXA10-AS inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion as well as facilitated GC apoptosis. The targets of HOXA10-AS included miR-6509-5p and Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1). Specifically, HOXA10-AS downregulated miR-6509-5p in GC. An increase of miR-6509-5p inhibited GC cell growth. Meanwhile, miR-6509-5p interacted with YBX1 in GC. Together, lncRNA HOXA10-AS potentially acted as an oncogene through the lncRNA HOXA10-AS/miR-6509-5p/YBX1 signaling pathway in GC.
