This study investigated the expression levels of two long non-coding RNAs (PCAT19 and CKMT2-AS1) in colorectal tumors and normal tissues. The results showed that one of the lncRNAs (PCAT19) may play a role in the carcinogenesis and progression of colorectal cancer and could serve as a potential therapeutic target and biomarker for the disease.
Long non-coding RNAs have been implicated in biological processes, and are dysregulated in types of cancer. Studies have shown that PCAT19 and CKMT2-AS1 lncRNAs promote tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis by regulating signaling pathways and modulating the gene expression. This study investigated the expression levels of lncRNAs PCAT19 and CKMT2-AS1 in colorectal tumors and normal tissues. First, Using GEPIA2 database, we compared the expression level of target lncRNAs between primary colon adenocarcinoma tumor and normal tissues. Then, the expression levels of lncRNAs PCAT19 and CKMT2-AS1 were detected in 35 colorectal tumors and paired adjacent tissues using qRT-PCR. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of these lncRNAs as biomarkers. Statistical analysis based on GEPIA2 showed that both lncRNAs PCAT19 and CKMT2-AS1 were significantly decreased in colon adenocarcinoma compared to the normal group (P < 0.001). Experimental analysis showed that the expression level of lncRNA PCAT19 was decreased in colorectal tumors (p < 0.0001) compared to normal tissues. While the expression level of lncRNA CKMT2-AS1 did not change in tumor tissues, it decreased in non-metastatic tumors compared to normal tissues (p = 0.04). The significantly downregulation of lncRNA PCAT19 expression in both metastatic and non-metastatic colorectal tumors compared to normal tissue suggests that PCAT19 may play a role in the carcinogenesis and progression of colorectal cancer and may provide potential therapeutic targets for colorectal cancer. Based on the results of ROC curve analysis, lncRNA PCAT19 may also serves as a novel potential good biomarker in diagnosis colorectal cancer (AUC = 0.94, p < 0.0001) but no significant was found for lncRNA CKMT2-AS1 (p > 0.05).
