Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the development and progression of human cancers. The lncRNA prostate cancer-associated transcript 1 (PCAT1) has been reported to be involved in multiple human cancers, including oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the detailed biological functions, underlying mechanisms and clinical relevance of PCAT1 in ESCC remain unclear. Here, we confirmed that PCAT1 was highly expressed in ESCC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of PCAT1 inhibited the growth of ESCC cells, whereas overexpression of PCAT1 showed the opposite effect both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, knockdown of PCAT1 arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase, reduced the expression of cyclin B1 and CDC2, and caused cells to be more sensitive to paclitaxel. Furthermore, PCAT1 could bind to miR-326, a tumour suppressor in diverse human cancers. Rescue experiments revealed that enforced expression of miR-326 attenuated the promotive effect of PCAT1 on ESCC cell growth. In addition, we discovered that PCAT1 was present in ESCC cell-derived exosomes, was higher in the serum of ESCC patients than those of healthy volunteer donors, and promoted cell growth through exosomes. Thus, our data indicate that PCAT1 promotes ESCC cell proliferation by sponging miR-326 and may serve as a non-invasive biomarker for ESCC.
