Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

High LINC01764 long noncoding RNA expression predicts poor colorectal cancer (CRC) outcomes and 5-fluorouracil resistance. It promotes CRC progression by enhancing metabolism and c-MYC translation via hnRNPK, suggesting it as a prognostic biomarker.

Area Of Science

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background

  • Biomarkers for predicting chemotherapeutic response and prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) are limited.
  • Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in CRC development and progression.
  • Identifying novel lncRNAs may offer predictive potential for CRC treatment outcomes.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To investigate the role of LINC01764 in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and response to chemotherapy.
  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying LINC01764's function in CRC.
  • To assess LINC01764's potential as a biomarker for CRC prognosis and chemotherapy response.

Main Methods

  • Analysis of LINC01764 expression in CRC patient datasets (Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, TCGA).
  • Gene set enrichment analysis to identify associated pathways.
  • In vitro experiments including cotransfection, RNA pulldown, RIP, protein synthesis assays, and dual-luciferase reporter assays to determine molecular interactions.

Main Results

  • High LINC01764 expression is correlated with CRC metastasis, poor response to FOLFOX/XELOX chemotherapy, and adverse prognosis.
  • LINC01764 promotes CRC cell proliferation and metastasis by enhancing glycolysis and glutamine metabolism.
  • LINC01764 induces 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance by upregulating c-MYC translation via hnRNPK and downregulating UPP1.

Conclusions

  • LINC01764 promotes colorectal cancer progression and 5-FU chemoresistance through hnRNPK-mediated c-MYC internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-dependent translational regulation.
  • LINC01764's oncogenic effects involve modulation of glucose and glutamine metabolism.
  • LINC01764 represents a potential predictive biomarker for chemotherapy response and prognosis in colorectal cancer.

Abnormal Proliferation 02:23

4.5K

Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression 03:03

3.7K

The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells 01:06

3.9K

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different cell types. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are terminally differentiated; however, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they dedifferentiate and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Tumor Progression 02:07

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
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...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway 01:22

3.4K

The mammalian target of rapamycin  (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1  (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2  (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast,  mTORC2 consists of a...

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle 02:38

6.4K

Mitogens and their receptors play a crucial role in controlling the progression of the cell cycle. However, the loss of mitogenic control over cell division leads to tumor formation. Therefore, mitogens and mitogen receptors play an important role in cancer research. For instance, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) - a type of mitogen and its transmembrane receptor (EGFR), decides the fate of the cell's proliferation. When EGF binds to EGFR, a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase...
