摘要
Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) recently have been identified as influential indicators in a variety of malignancies. Hence, the aim of the present study was to identify a functional lncRNA and its associated effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in terms of cellular growth and a ngiogenesis. Methods and results Microarray-based analysis revealed a possible regulatory mechanism involving LINC00488, microRNA-330-5p (miR-330-5p) and talin-1 (TLN1) in HCC. Targetscan and RNA22 online tools predicted the relationship among LINC00488, miR-330-5p and TLN1, which were further validated by dual luciferase reporter gene assay, RNA pull-down and RIP. To evaluate the effects of LINC00488 and miR-330-5p on the cellular process of HCC, we performed a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments, with the expression of LINC00488, miR-330-5p, and TLN1 altered by delivering plasmids into Hep3B cell line. The obtained results demonstrated that cells with siRNA-mediated depletion of LINC00488 or restoration of miR-330-5p displayed suppressed abilities of in vitro proliferation as well as of in vivo tumor growth and angiogenesis, while in vitro apoptosis was notably induced. Conclusion The fundamental findings of the present study collectively propose that lncRNA LINC00488 can competitively sponge miR-330-5p to regulate TLN1 in relation to the cell growth and angiogenesis in HCC.
