LncRNA HCG11 enhances the chemosensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer cells to Gemcitabine via miR-17-5p/p21 axis
Expert review of anticancer therapy(2024)
Abstract
BackgroundThis study investigated the inhibitory effects of lncRNA HLA Complex Group 11 (HCG11) on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the molecular mechanisms.Research design and methodsBioinformatics analysis was conducted to determine the downstream targeted gene miR-17-5p/p21 and predict their binding sites. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect expression levels, and dual luciferase and RIP assays were adopted to verify binding relationship.ResultsThe lncRNA HCG11/miR-17-5p/p21 axis was found to regulate drug resistance, proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle of A549 and A549-Gemcitabine (GEM) cells. HCG11 acted as a ceRNA binding to miR-17-5p, which repressed p21 expression in turn. In vivo experiments demonstrated that HCG11 hindered tumor growth. Therefore, lncRNA HCG11, by targeting the miR-17-5p/p21 axis, suppressed GEM resistance and malignant progression of NSCLC cells.ConclusionsThis study provides a reference for investigating the potential value of lncRNA HCG11 in the diagnosis of NSCLC and finding potential targets against clinical chemotherapeutic resistance in NSCLC.
