ABSTRACT
Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the metastasis and recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A kinds of lncRNAs were found to be involved in regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) or stem-like traits in human cancers, however, the molecular mechanism and signaling pathways targeting EMT and stemness remains largely unknown. Previously, we found that linc00261 was down-regulated in HCC and associated with multiple worse clinical pathological parameters and poor prognosis. Here, we show that linc00261 was down-regulated in TGF-ß1 stimulated cells, and forced expression of linc00261 attenuated EMT and stem-like traits in HCC. Linc00261 also inhibited the tumor sphere forming in vitro and decreased the tumorigenicity in vivo. Furthermore, we revealed that linc00261 suppressed the expression and phosphorylation of SMAD3 (p-SMAD3), which could be core transcriptional modulator in TGF-ß1 signaling mediated EMT and the acquisition of stemness traits. A negative correlation between linc00261 and p-SMAD3 was determined in HCC samples. Conclusion:
Our study revealed that linc00261 suppressed EMT and stem-like traits in HCC cells by inhibiting TGF-ß1/SMAD3 signaling.Palavras-chave
