LncRNA LNC-565686 Promotes Proliferation of Prostate Cancer by Inhibiting Apoptosis through Stabilizing SND1

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), typically more than 200 nt long, cannot encode proteins, but can regulate gene expression. They play an indispensable role in the occurrence and progression of various cancers. The main purpose of this study is to discuss the role and mechanism of LNC-565686 in prostate cancer. First, we found an increased expression of LNC-565686 in prostate cancer cells using RNA sequencing, which was further verified using qRT-PCR. Then, catRAPID was used to find that LNC-565686 might regulate SND1. Furthermore, a protein half-life experiment was performed to verify that LNC-565686 could stabilize the expression of SND1. In order to further explore the effects of LNC-565686 and SND1 on prostate cancer cells, we knocked down LNC-565686 and SND1 in prostate cancer cells, and verified using CCK8 and flow cytometry and western blot for the detection of apoptosis-related indicators. Collectively, we have found that LNC-565686 can promote the proliferation of prostate cancer cells and inhibit apoptosis by stabilizing the expression of SND1. Therefore, targeting LNC-565686 might be a new treatment for prostate cancer.

Automated summary

This study aims to investigate the role and mechanism of LNC-565686 in prostate cancer. The findings suggest that LNC-565686 promotes the proliferation of prostate cancer cells and inhibits apoptosis by stabilizing the expression of SND1. This provides a potential new target for the treatment of prostate cancer.
