Abstract

Renal carcinoma (RCC) is widely accepted as a malignant tumour of urinary system. Long intergenic non-coding RNA 1939 (LINC01939) is a novel lncRNA which was found to be down-regulated in RCC. Thus, we set out to explore the effect and regulation mechanism of LINC01939 in RCC. LINC01939 and miR-154 in RCC tissues and cell lines were detected using qRT-PCR assay. To examine cellular viability of ACHN and CAKI-1 cells, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was exploited here. Flow cytometric analysis was conducted to examine apoptosis. Cell mobility was valued through wound healing assays. Western blotting was applied for examination of proteins related to proliferation, apoptosis, migration and Wnt/β-catenin/Notch. LINC01939 was down-regulated in RCC tissues. LINC01939 overexpression impeded proliferation and migration, and induced apoptosis. Further study found that the overexpression of LINC01939 strongly suppressed miR-154 expression. Then, the inhibiting effect of overexpressed LINC01939 on proliferation and mobility and the promoting role of LINC01939 in apoptosis were abolished by the combination of miR-154 mimic. Finally, we found that overexpressed LINC01939 inactivated Wnt/β-catenin and Notch through suppressing miR-154. Up...Continue Reading

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

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

Actin, Myosin & Cell Movement

Contractile forces generated by the actin-myosin cytoskeleton are critical for morphogenesis, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms of contraction have been elusive for many cell shape changes and movements. Here is the latest research on the roles of actin and myosin in cell movement.

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.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
