LINC00511 is up-regulated in cervical cancer and its overexpression promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cervical cancer cells. LINC00511 targets miR-497-5p to up-regulate the expression of MAPK1, and this axis plays a role in the progression of cervical cancer.
Background Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) exhibits a crucial role in multiple human malignancies. The expression of lncRNA LINC00511, reportedly, is aberrantly up-regulated in several types of tumors. Our research was aimed at deciphering the role and mechanism of LINC00511 in the progression of cervical cancer (CC). Method Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to quantify the expression levels of LINC00511, miR-497-5p and MAPK1 mRNA in CC tissues and cell lines. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and Transwell assays were conducted for detecting the proliferation, migration and invasion of CC cells. Dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments were performed to verify the targeting relationships amongst LINC00511, miR-497-5p and MAPK1. Besides, MAPK1 expression in CC cells was detected via Western blot after LINC00511 and miR-497-5p were selectively regulated. Results Up-regulation of LINC00511 expression in CC tissues and cell lines was observed, which was in association with tumor size, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis of the patients. LINC00511 overexpression facilitated the proliferation, migration and invasion of CC cells, while opposite effects were observed after knockdown of LINC00511. Mechanistically, LINC00511 was capable of targeting miR-497-5p and up-regulating MAPK1 expression. Conclusion LINC00511/miR-497-5p/MAPK1 axis regulates CC progression.
