Abstract

Abstract : Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by interacting with microRNAs (miRNAs) and/or mRNAs. However, the function of most lncRNAs in NSCLC remains unclear. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot were applied for detection of mRNA/miRNA and protein level. Interaction between LncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 14 (SNHG14) and miR-382-5p was validated by dual luciferase reporter assay. Cell proliferation and apoptosis was detected using Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8) and Flow cytometry, while cell migration and invasion was detected by scratch assay and Transwell assay. SNHG14 was upregulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. SNHG14 silencing reduced proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced apoptosis in A549 cells. SNHG14 was negatively correlated with miR-382-5p in NSCLC tissues, SNHG14 and miR-382-5p negatively regulated each other in A549 cells. SNHG14 promoted expression of miR-382-5p target genes, including LIM-only protein 3 (LMO3) and SET domain containing lysine methyltransferase 8 (SETD8), in A549 cells. miR-382-5p inhibition reversed SNHG14 knockdown-induced increase in apoptosis and decrease in proliferation, migration and invasion. SNHG14 was correlated with SETD8 and LMO3 in NSCLC tissues. Collectively, SNHG14 promoted NSCLC proliferation, migration and invasion, while inhibited apoptosis by sponging miR-382-5p in A549 cells.
