被撤回的出版物: Long Noncoding RNA KIAA0125 Potentiates Cell Migration and Invasion in Gallbladder Cancer (Retracted article. Artn 3471417, 2017)

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is one of the mostly aggressive diseases with poor prognosis due to the lack of severe symptoms. To date, little is known about the potential roles and underlying mechanisms of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in GBC initiation and progression. Thus, it provides us with a novel insight into the contribution of lncRNAs to GBC development. Remarkably, we found the differential expression of a lncRNA, namely, KIAA0125, in a pair of GBC cell sublines which possess different metastatic potentials. Then the effects of KIAA0125 on GBC cell migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMT) were investigated by using a lentivirus-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) system. Notably, cell migration and invasion were strongly inhibited by KIAA0125 suppression. Moreover, the expression of beta-Catenin was increased and the expression of Vimentin was decreased in GBC-SD/M cells after KIAA0125 knockdown. Thus, our findings suggested that KIAA0125 promoted the migration and invasion of GBC cells and could serve as a potential therapeutic target in advanced GBC.
