RESUMO
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) is correlated to various malignant tumors. Consequently, we explored effects of lncRNA PVT1 on esophageal carcinoma (EC) targeting microRNA-145 (miR-145). EC tissues, adjacent normal tissues, and EC-related cell lines were collected and cultured. Expression of lncRNA PVT1, miR-145, fascin-1 (FSCN1), and related genes with intervening expression of PVT1 and miR-145 was determined. Bioinformatic website, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) were carried to verify target relationship among lncRNA PVT1, FSCN1, and miR-145. Scratch test, Transwell assay, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, and flow cytometry were performed for detection of migration, invasion, viability, and apoptosis of transfected cells, respectively. Finally, tumor formation in nude mice was measured. After database analysis, lncRNA PVT1, miR-145, and FSCN1 were selected for study. lncRNA PVT1 and FSCN1 can bind to miR-145. After overexpressing miR-145 or inhibiting lncRNA PVT1, EC cell viability, migration, and invasion were inhibited, while volume and weight of tumor formation in nude mice decreased. Expression of lncRNA PVT1, FSCN1, Bcl-2, CD147, VEGFR2, and MTA1 decreased and expression of miR-145 and Bax increased. Silencing lncRNA PVT1 can upregulate miR-145, which is a tumor suppressor in EC via knockdown of FSCN1. Thus, we might provide a potential theoretical basis for EC treatment.
RESUMO
Accumulating evidence has established that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) is a tumor regulator in many cancers. Here, we aimed to investigate the possible function of lncRNA PVT1 in esophageal carcinoma (EC) via targeting of microRNA-145 (miR-145). Initially, microarray-based gene expression profiling of EC was employed to identify differentially expressed genes. Moreover, the expression of lncRNA PVT1 was examined and the cell line presenting with the highest level of lncRNA PVT1 expression was selected for subsequent experiments. We then proceeded to examine interaction among lncRNA PVT1, FSCN1, and miR-145. The effect of lncRNA PVT1 on viability, migration, invasion, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis of transfected cells was examined with gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments. We observed that lncRNA PVT1 was robustly induced in EC. lncRNA PVT1 could bind to miR-145 and regulate its expression, and FSCN1 is a target gene of miR-145. Overexpression of miR-145 or silencing of lncRNA PVT1 was revealed to suppress cell viability, migration, and invasion abilities, while also stimulating cell apoptosis. Furthermore, our in vivo results showed that overexpression of miR-145 or silencing of lncRNA PVT1 resulted in decreased tumor growth in nude mice. In conclusion, our research reveals that down-regulation of lncRNA PVT1 could potentially promote expression of miR-145 to repress cell migration and invasion, and promote cell apoptosis through the inhibition of FSCN1. This highlights the potential of lncRNA PVT1 as a therapeutic target for EC treatment.

OBJECTIVE: It is still controversial whether patients with clinical T2N0M0 (cT2N0M0) esophageal cancer are treated with induction therapy. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of induction therapy on cT2N0M0 esophageal cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Medline databases from inception up to May 1, 2017. This meta-analysis was performed to compare odds ratios (OR) for 5-year overall survival (OS), pathologically understaged and overstaged after esophagectomy. RESULTS: Eight retrospective studies of 2646 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Data showed that no statistically significant difference in 5-year over survival was observed between induction therapy group and direct operation group. The pooled OR and 95% confidence interval (CI) for 5-year OS were 0.92 (95% CIâ=â0.72-1.18; Pâ=â.52). Whereas, compared with induction therapy group, direct operation group had more pathologically understaged and less overstaged after esophagectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Currentclinical staging for T2N0M0 esophageal carcinoma remains inaccurate. In this study, we found that direct operation group had more pathologically understaged and less overstaged after esophagectomy compared with induction therapy group. Induction therapy could degrade the tumor staging but not improve the patient's survival.
