LncRNA NR2F1-AS1 is involved in the progression of endometrial cancer by sponging miR-363 to target SOX4

Abstract

This study intended to investigate the role of lncRNA NR2F1-AS1 in endometrial cancer (EC). The expression level of NR2F1-AS1 in tumor tissues and EC cells was measured. After sh-NR2F1-AS1 transfection, the cell viability, apoptosis, migration and invasion of EC cells were analyzed. Luciferase reporter assay was conducted to investigate the target gene of miR-363. The expression levels of PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β pathway-associated factors were assayed using western blot. NR2F1-AS1 was significantly overexpressed in EC tissues and cells. NR2F1-AS1 inhibition decreased EC cell viability, migration and invasion, while promoted cell apoptosis. miR-363 was negatively regulated by NR2F1-AS1. SOX4 was a target of miR-363. NR2F1-AS1 functioned on EC progression via PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β pathway. The results demonstrated that NR2F1-AS1 was highly expressed in EC, which involved in the proliferation and migration of EC cells through downregulation of miR-363 to target SOX4 and regulating PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β pathway.
