Functional description
BACKGROUND: In recent years, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have attracted much attention because of its regulatory role in occurrence and progression of tumors, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). LncRNA PITPNA antisense RNA 1 (PITPNA-AS1) has been explored in some cancers, whereas its function and molecular mechanism in TNBC remain unclear. METHODS: PITPNA-AS1 expression in TNBC tissues and cells was determined by RT-qPCR. TNBC cell viability, proliferation, migration, invasion were assessed with CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing, transwell assays. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry. Expression of EMT-related markers was detected by western blot analyses. The molecular mechanism of PITPNA-AS1 was explored by RNA pull down, luciferase reporter, RIP and ChIP assays. RESULTS: PITPNA-AS1 showed high expression levels in TNBC tissues and cells. PITPNA-AS1 knockdown suppressed TNBC cell viability, proliferation, migration, invasion in vitro and inhibited xenograft tumor growth in mice. Mechanistically, PITPNA-AS1 upregulated SIK2 expression by sponging miR-520d-5p and recruiting DDX54 protein. Results of rescue assays suggested that the inhibitive effects of silenced PITPNA-AS1 on TNBC cellular processes were partially rescued by overexpressing SIK2 or combination of miR-520d-5p inhibition and DDX54 overexpression. More importantly, we found that the upregulation of PITPNA-AS1 in TNBC cells was attributed to transcription factor MYBL2. CONCLUSION: PITPNA-AS1 activated by MYBL2 plays an oncogenic role in TNBC through upregulating SIK2.
