Résumé

HOXA cluster antisense RNA2 (HOXA-AS2), a long-chain non-coding RNA, plays an important role in the behavior of various malignant tumors. The roles of HOXA-AS2 in endometrial cancer remain unclear. We test expression levels of HOXA-AS2, miRNA-302c-3p, the transcription factor zinc finger X-chromosomal protein (ZFX), and the chitinase-like protein YKL-40 in endometrial carcinoma by qRT-PCR and western blotting. Luciferase reporter and qRT-PCR assays were conducted to identify potential binding sites of HOXA-AS2 to miRNA-302c-3p. Cell cycle, migration and invasion ability of endometrial cancer cells were investigated using flow-cytometric analysis, CCK-8 and transwell assays, respectively. HOXA-AS2 levels were significantly increased in endometrial cancer specimens compared to normal endometrial specimens. Upregulated HOXA-AS2 promoted invasion and proliferation of type I endometrial cancer cells. HOXA-AS2 silenced miRNA-302c-3p by binding to it. MiRNA-302c-3p negatively regulates ZFX and YKL-40. Thus HOXA-AS2 promotes the development of type I endometrial cancer via miRNA-302c-3p-mediated regulation of ZFX. These findings suggest that HOXA-AS2 can act as a new therapeutic target for type I endometrial cancer.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
HOXA cluster antisense RNA2 (HOXA-AS2), a long-chain non-coding RNA, plays an important role in the behavior of various malignant tumors. The roles of HOXA-AS2 in endometrial cancer remain unclear.
METHODS METHODS
We test expression levels of HOXA-AS2, miRNA-302c-3p, the transcription factor zinc finger X-chromosomal protein (ZFX), and the chitinase-like protein YKL-40 in endometrial carcinoma by qRT-PCR and western blotting. Luciferase reporter and qRT-PCR assays were conducted to identify potential binding sites of HOXA-AS2 to miRNA-302c-3p. Cell cycle, migration and invasion ability of endometrial cancer cells were investigated using flow-cytometric analysis, CCK-8 and transwell assays, respectively.
RESULTS RESULTS
HOXA-AS2 levels were significantly increased in endometrial cancer specimens compared to normal endometrial specimens. Upregulated HOXA-AS2 promoted invasion and proliferation of type I endometrial cancer cells. HOXA-AS2 silenced miRNA-302c-3p by binding to it. MiRNA-302c-3p negatively regulates ZFX and YKL-40. Thus HOXA-AS2 promotes the development of type I endometrial cancer via miRNA-302c-3p-mediated regulation of ZFX.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
These findings suggest that HOXA-AS2 can act as a new therapeutic target for type I endometrial cancer.
