Abstract
This study revealed the prognostic significance of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) CCDC144NL-AS1 in NSCLC patients and discussed the effect and mechanism of proliferation, migration, and invasion of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. 128 pairs of NSCLC tissues and paracancerous tissues were collected, and qRT-PCR was used to detect the differential expression of lncRNA CCDC144NL-AS1 in all tissues and cells lines. Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards model analysis were used to estimate the prognostic value of lncRNA CCDC144NL-AS1. CCK-8 and Transwell assays confirmed the effect of lncRNA CCDC144NL-AS1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC. Bioinformatics was used to predict the microRNAs that lncRNA CCDC144NL-AS1 might bind to miR-490-3p. The regulation of lncRNA CCDC144NL-AS1 on miR-490-3p was verified by luciferase activity assay with wide type or mutation. The expression of lncRNA CCDC144NL-AS1 was enhanced in both NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Patients with overexpression of lncRNA CCDC144NL-AS1 have a poor prognosis, and lncRNA CCDC144NL-AS1 is an independent prognostic factor for NSCLC. Increased the relative expression level of lncRNA CCDC144NL-AS1 can promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells. LncRNA CCDC144NL-AS1 might target miR-490-3p. LncRNA CCDC144NL-AS1 can be used as an oncogene of NSCLC to predict patient prognosis and promote tumor proliferation, migration, and invasion by targeting miR-490-3p.
