Conclusion
LINC00657 can participate in the biological behavior process of breast carcinoma by regulating miR-590-3p/GOLPH3 signal.
Methods
Ninety-seven cases with breast carcinoma who were admitted to Qingdao Chengyang People's Hospital were collected. The breast carcinoma (n=97) and tumor-adjacent tissues (n=97) of patients were collected during the operation with the permission of the patients. The expressions of LINC00657 and miR-590-3p were detected in breast carcinoma cells and tissues. The breast carcinoma cells were transfected and their proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis were detected.
Objective
To investigate the effect of LINC00657 on breast carcinoma by regulating miR-590-3p.
Results
LINC00657 was highly expressed in breast carcinoma tissues, while miR-590-3p was reduced (P<0.05). The proliferation, invasion and migration of cells transfected with si-LINC00657 or miR-590-3p-mimics were significantly inhibited, and the apoptosis rate increased, resulting in the up-regulation of the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins Bax and Caspase-3 and the reduction of Bcl-2 (P<0.05). After si-LINC00657 or miR-590-3p-mimics, the level of GOLPH3 decreased. Through double luciferase report and RIP experiment, it was confirmed that LINC00657 could act as a sponge of miR-590-3p to negatively regulate its expression. After correlation analysis, it was concluded that there was a negative correlation between LINC00657 and miR-590-3p. Rescue experiments concluded that co-transfection of si-LINC00657+miR-590-3P-inhibitor could reverse the inhibitory action of si-LINC00657 on breast carcinoma cells.
