摘要
Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to be associated with tumorigenesis and development of glioma. LINC00662 has been involved in the pathogenesis of various human cancers. However, the mechanism underlying which LINC00662 exerts its role in glioma needs further exploration. In addition, regulation mechanism of LINC00662 expression in glioma remains unknown. Methods and materials: RT-qPCR was performed to evaluate the expression levels of LINC00662, miR-340-5p in glioma tissues and cell lines. The effect of LINC00662 and miR-340-5p in cell proliferation and invasion was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8), clone colony formation and Transwell assay. Luciferase reporter assays and RNA immunoprecipitation assay validated the miR-340-5p-target relationships with LINC00662 or STAT3. CHIP-qPCR and Luciferase reporter assays were used to demonstrate the interaction between STAT3 and the promoter region of LINC00662. A tumor xenografts model was implemented to verify the effect of LINC00662 on glioma development in vivo. Results: We found that LINC00662 was frequently highly expressed and related to the malignant phenotype of glioma. LINC00662 knockdown inhibited the proliferation, invasion and glioma genesis of glioma. LINC00662 acted as a ceRNA sponging miR-340-5p to protect the expression of STAT3. In addition, STAT3 was forced to the promoter region of LINC00662 and promoted its transcription. In vivo experiments demonstrated that targeting LINC00662 may be a potential strategy in glioma therapy. Conclusion: There was a positive regulation loop between LINC00662 and STAT3 in glioma. LINC00662 might be an oncogene in glioma. Targeting LINC00662 was a potential strategy in glioma therapy.
