Abstract

Background

Gastric adenocarcinoma predictive long intergenic noncoding RNA (GAPLINC) has been detected in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and reportedly performs many functions related to tumor proliferation and metastasis. Aim The present study aimed to comprehensively explore the biological functions of GAPLINC and their underlying mechanism in CRC cell.

Methods

The human cancer LncRNA PCR array was used to detect the differentially expressed long noncoding RNAs in human CRC samples. Real-time PCR, dual-luciferase assay, RNA pull-down assay, Transwell assay, and western blot analysis were performed to explore the molecular mechanism underlying GAPLINC functions related to migration and invasion of a human CRC cell line (HCT116).

Results

Compared to the non-cancerous tissues, GAPLINC expression was obviously increased in CRC tissues. In HCT116, silencing of GAPLINC weakened cell migration and invasion, while overexpression of GAPLINC significantly promoted cell migration and invasion. Through dual-luciferase, RNA pull-down, and Transwell assays, we verified that miR-34a was the downstream molecule of GAPLINC and that miR-34a negatively regulated the migration and invasion of HCT116 cell. Furthermore, we found that GAPLINC positively regulated the miR-34a target gene c-MET in CRC tissues.

Conclusions

Our findings revealed that GAPLINC was up-regulated in CRC tissues and was involved in the migration and invasion of CRC cells by regulating miR-34a/c-MET signaling pathway.
