Functional description
Many reports have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely associated with the occurrence and development of various cancers. Musculin antisense RNA 1 (MSC-AS1) is a an lncRNA known to act as an oncogene in several types of human cancers; however, its specific function in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is still unclear. For this study, we designed and conducted experiments to clarify the function of the lncRNA MSC-AS1 in LUAD and its underlying mechanisms. We found that the expression of MSC-AS1 was significantly higher in LUAD tissues and cells than that in normal ones. Through loss-of function assays, we confirmed that the proliferation of LUAD cells was significantly restrained by down-regulation of MSC-AS1 and the rate of cell apoptosis was accelerated. The results from our mechanistic experiments showed that MSC-AS1 interacts with microRNA-33b-5p (miR-33b-5p). Moreover, glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, mitochondrial (GPAM) was found to be a direct target gene of miR-33b-5p, and it has similar functions to MSC-AS1. Further, inhibition of miR-33b-5p or overexpression GPAM reversed the inhibitory effects of MSC-AS1 silencing on LUAD cell growth. In short, MSC-AS1 facilitates LUAD progression through sponging miR-33b-5p to up-regulate GPAM.
