Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic cancer caused by the abnormal expansion of plasma cells, but the exact mechanism underlying MM development is not completely known. Recently, multiple long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were implicated in the regulation of MMdevelopment. Methods: Samples from patients with MM were collected and detected for LINC00461 expression using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). LINC00461 was knocked down in MM cell lines by short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) to measure its effect on MM cell proliferation and apoptosis. The function of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-derived exosomes was analyzed using chamber assays. Results: LINC00461 was highly expressed in MM. Knockdown of LINC00461 dramatically reduced MM cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis. Further study showed that LINC00461 relieved the inhibitory effect of microRNA (miR)-15a/miR-16 on BCL-2. In addition, we observed that MSC-derived exosomes promoted MM cell proliferation through LINC00461. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that LINC00461, a sponge for miR-15a/16, is highly expressed in MSC-derived exosomes, and enhances MM cell proliferation, which may become an excellent candidate for therapeutic applications.
