ABSTRACT
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of lung cancer-associated mortality. Recent studies revealed that long non-coding (lnc)RNAs have crucial roles in human cancers. The present study was the first, to the best of our knowledge, to indicate that the lncRNA transducer of ERBB2, 1-antisense 1 (TOB1-AS1) acts as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC. Knockdown of TOB1-AS1 significantly induced NSCLC cell migration, invasion and proliferation. It was also demonstrated that the higher expression of TOB1-AS1 in NSCLC samples was associated with longer overall survival time. Furthermore, a TOB1-AS1-mediated competing endogenous RNA network in NSCLC was constructed, including Homo sapiens (hsa)-microRNA (miR)-27a-3p, hsa-miR-23a-3p, hsa-miR-23b-3p, hsa-miR-27b-3p, hsa-miR-23c, dynein cytoplasmic 2 light intermediate chain 1, E4F transcription factor 1, TSPY-like 4, component of oligomeric Golgi complex 7, inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 2 and deltex E3 ubiquitin ligase 3. Of note, dysregulation of targets of TOB1-AS1 was associated with the prognosis of NSCLC patients. The present study suggested that TOB1-AS1 may serve as a novel biomarker for NSCLC.
