Establishment of LINC01018 overexpression colon cancer cell line and study on its biological characteristics / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish a colon cancer cell line which overexpressing LINC01018 stably and study its biological characteristics.Methods:The expression of LINC01018 in HCoEpiC and HT-29 cells were detected by real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). HT-29 cells were infected with LINC01018 overexpression lentivirus to screen and establish HT-29 cell lines which overexpressing LINC01018 stably. The effect of LINC01018 on the proliferation, invasion and migration of HT-29 cells were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and Transwell assay separately. The expression of CDK6 and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in HT-29 cells was detected by Western blot.Results:The expression of LINC01018 in HT-29 cells was significantly lower than that in the human colonic epithelial cells (HCoEpiC). HT-29-L18 cell lines which overexpressing LINC01018 stably was screened successfully. Overexpression of LINC01018 significantly inhibited the cell proliferation, invasion and migration, and reduced the protein expression of CDK6 and MMP-2 in HT-29 cells.Conclusions:The expression of LINC01018 was decreased abnormally in colon cancer cells. Up-regulation of LINC01018 expression can inhibit the proliferation, invasion and migration of colon cancer cells, which may be related to CDK6 and MMP-2.
