ABSTRACT
AIMS:
Growing evidence has suggested that lncRNAs play a regulatory role in tumorigenesis. Dysregulation of a newly identified lncRNA (LINC00847) has been involved in several tumors. Nevertheless, the expression and roles of lncRNAs in skin melanoma remain unclear. Therefore, we attempted to investigate the expressions and roles of lncRNAs in this study. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Expression levels of LINC00847 were quantified in tissue samples from the TCGA database and clinically recruited participants. LINC00847 was inhibited in cells by transfecting with si-LINC00847 or si-NC. Expressions of LINC00847 and miR-133a-3p were determined using RT-qPCR, and the TGFBR1 level was determined using Western blotting. Targeting sites of LINC00847 with miR-133a-3p and miR-133a-3p with TGFBR1 were predicted by bioinformatic tools and proved by dual-luciferase reporter system and RNA immunoprecipitation. Cell proliferation, invasion, and migration abilities were assessed using CCK8, cell colony formation, cell wound scratch, and transwell assay, respectively.RESULTS:
In both TCGA and clinical cohorts, the expression of LINC00847 was abnormally upregulated in skin melanoma tissues than that of benign nevus. Besides, LINC00847 expression increased more markedly in A375 and SK-MEL-28 cells than in normal epidermal melanocytes (HEMa-LP cells). LINC00847 knockdown remarkably restrained skin melanoma cell proliferation, metastasis, and wound healing rate. Furthermore, miR-133a-3p/TGFBR1 was the downstream target for LINC00847. LINC00847 negatively regulated miR-133a-3p expression in skin melanoma cells. Both miR-133a-3p inhibitors and TGFBR1 vector transfection reversed the effect of LINC00847 silence in skin melanoma cells.CONCLUSION:
LINC00847 was highly expressed in skin melanoma, and its overexpression accelerated the malignant tumor behavior of skin melanoma cells. The miR-133a-3p /TGFBR1 axis was involved in the roles of LINC00847 in skin melanoma.
