Description
Abstract
reast cancer remains a major challenge
despite dramatic advances in cancer research. The long
non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been reported to
associate with carcinogenesis and progression of various
cancers. In this research, we found that lncRNA
AY343892 was significantly down-regulated in breast
cancer tissues and cells. Besides, breast cancer patients
with high AY343892 level exhibited a favorable
prognosis. Functional assays indicated that
overexpression of AY343892 significantly inhibited
proliferation and promoted apoptosis in breast cancer
cells. In terms of mechanism, PTEN and BRCA1 were
confirmed to be regulated by AY343892 in breast cancer.
Luciferase activity and chromatin immunoprecipitation
(ChIP) assays indicated that AY343892 can regulate the
promoter of PTEN by binding to BCRA1. Further
investigation suggested that knockdown of AY343892
significantly promoted MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation
and inhibited MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis. However,
these effects were reversed when PTEN was up-
regulated. Moreover, PTEN silence can also countervail
the inhibitory effect of overexpressed BCRA1 or
AY343892 on the expressions of genes related to
proliferation and apoptosis in breast cancer. In
conclusion, this study illustrated that AY343892
inhibited breast cancer development by positively
regulating BRCA1-mediated transcription of PTEN.
This finding contributes to a better understanding in the
pathogenesis of breast cancer and provides a theoretical
basis for the treatment of breast cancer patients
