Abstract

OPA-interacting protein 5 antisense transcript 1 (OIP5-AS1) plays an important regulatory role in various types of cancers. However, the functional role and regulatory mechanisms of OIP5-AS1 in gastric cancer (GC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that the expression of OIP5-AS1 was increased in GC tissues compared with that in adjacent non-cancerous tissues, which was significantly associated with shorter overall survival time of patients. In addition, OIP5-AS1 expression was also increased in GC cell lines including NCI-N87, MKN-45, BGC-823 and SGC-7901, when compared with that in normal gastric epithelial cell line GES-1. Knockdown of OIP5-AS1 markedly suppressed the proliferation and colony formation activities of GC cells, induced G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis of GC cells in vitro, and restrained tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, OIP5-AS1 functions as an oncogenic competing endogenous RNA by binding to and sequestering miR-422a to elevate the expression of anoctamin-1. Our study first demonstrated that OIP5-AS1 is a critical and powerful regulator of GC pathogenesis and may represent a novel candidate target for GC therapy.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
