Abstract
Background: There has been a large increase in the incidence of breast cancer (BC) among women. LINC00473 is a cancer-related lncRNA, participating in the progression of many cancers, but its role in the progression of BC awaits more elaboration.
Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to quantify LINC00473, miR-424-5p, and cyclin E1 (CCNE1) mRNA expression levels in BC tissues and cells. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was employed to detect the cell viability; the cell migration and invasion abilities were evaluated by the Transwell assay. Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were adopted to study CCNE1 protein expression; dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to clarify the targeting relationships among LINC00473, miR-424-5p, and CCNE1.
Results: LINC00473 expression was elevated in BC tissues and cell lines, which was associated with lymph node metastasis and higher clinical stage of the patients with BC. LINC00473 proved to be a molecular sponge for miR-424-5p; LINC00473 knockdown impeded the growth, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of BC cells, while these effects were abolished by miR-424-5p inhibitors; miR-424-5p targeted CCNE1 to restrain its expression. LINC00473 positively regulated CCNE1 expression, and CCNE1 restoration counteracted the effects induced by LINC00473 knockdown in BC cells.
Conclusion: LINC00473 facilitates the progression of BC through miR-424-5p/CCNE1 axis.
