The study revealed that lncRNA NEAT1 up-regulates FGF9 by sponging miR-365, thus promoting ovarian cancer cell proliferation and angiogenesis of HUVECs. Additionally, it was found that NEAT1 competes with FGF9 for binding to miR-365 during this process.
Objective: To uncover the function of lncRNA NEAT1 in ovarian cancer (OC) cells and its mechanism. Methods: The expression patterns of lncRNA NEAT1 and FGF9 in human OC cells and human ovarian epithelial cells was determined. OC cells were transfected with sh-NEAT1, pcDNA3.1-NEAT1, miR-365 mimic, miR-365 inhibitor or pcDNA3.1-NEAT1 + sh-NEAT1 before cell proliferation rate and cell clone formation rate were measured. After the transfected OC cells were co-cultivated with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), Matrigel angiogenesis assay tested angiogenesis of HUVECs; qRT-PCR and Western blot tested the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiogenin 1 (Ang-1) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2). Dual-luciferase reporter assay determined the targeted binding of NEAT1 and FGF9 to miR-365. Results: LncRNA NEAT1 and FGF9 are over-expressed in OC cells. Knockdown of NEAT1 or FGF9, or over-expression of miR-365 results in decreased proliferation rate and cell clones as well as inhibited angiogenesis and down-regulated expressions of VEGF, Ang-1 and MMP2. Over-expression of NEAT1 or knockdown of miR-365 can reverse the effect caused by FGF9 knockdown. NEAT1 can down-regulate the expression of miR-365 while up-regulating that of FGF9. Dual-luciferase reporter assay determined that NEAT1 competes with FGF9 for binding to miR-365. Conclusion: LncRNA NEAT1 up-regulates FGF9 by sponging miR-365, thus promoting OC cell proliferation and angiogenesis of HUVECs.
