摘要
The mechanisms underlying the involvement of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the metastasis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) remain largely unknown. Here, we identified that the lncRNA ITPR1-AS1 was upregulated in SCLC and lymph node metastasis tissues and positively correlated with SCLC malignant features. The overexpression of ITPR1-AS1 in SCLC was an independent risk factor for the overall survival of patients with SCLC. Our data confirmed that ITPR1-AS1 induces SCLC cell metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, ITPR1-AS1 acts as a scaffold to enhance the interaction between SRC-associated in mitosis 68 kDa and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1, which facilitates the alternative splicing of the H-Ras proto-oncogene (HRAS) pre-mRNA (P21HRAS). Moreover, we observed that ITPR1-AS1 could associate in a complex with and maintain the stability of DEAD-box polypeptide 3 (DDX3X), which inhibited the latter's ubiquitination and degradation. Our data provide evidence that ITPR1-AS1 activates the cRaf-MEK-ERK cascade by upregulating P21HRAS production and stabilizing DDX3X, to promote SCLC metastasis.
