LINC01535 acts as an oncogene in CRC by sponging miR-761, and its knockdown inhibits the growth of CRC cells.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common human cancer types and a leading cause of cancer-related death. Accumulating evidence has confirmed that long non-coding RNAs have crucial roles in CRC progression. In the present study, the biological roles of LINC01535 were investigated and the interaction between long intergenic non-coding RNA (LINC)01535 and microRNA (miR)-761 in CRC was explored. LINC01535 expression was observed to be upregulated in CRC tissues and cell lines. A functional study suggested that LINC01535 silencing inhibited CRC cell proliferation and invasion but enhanced cisplatin sensitivity of CRC cells, while co-transfection with a miR-761 inhibitor reversed these biological effects. A luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that LINC01535 regulated miR-761 directly and RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation further confirmed that the suppression of LINC01535 by miR-761 was via an RNA-induced silencing complex. Finally, knockdown of LINC01535 inhibited the growth of CRC cells in vivo. Collectively, the results suggested that LINC01535 exerts oncogenic functions in CRC by sponging miR-761. In conclusion, the present study indicated that LINC01535 promoted CRC progression through sponging miR-761, and may serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for CRC.
