Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HULC in bladder cancer tissues and its relationship with the clinicopathological features of patients, as well as the effect of silencing HULC on the proliferation, apoptosis,migration and invasion of bladder cancer 5637 cells. Methods: A total of 102 pairs of cancer tissue and adjacent normal tissue samples from bladder cancer patients who underwent surgical resection in Zhengzhou People’s Hospital from June 2014 to December 2017 were selected, as well as bladder cancer 5637 cell line and human normal bladder epithelial SV-HUC-1 cell line. The expression of HULC in bladder cancer tissues and cells was detected by qPCR, and the correlation between HULC and clinicopathological features of bladder cancer patients was analyzed. The effect of HULC on prognosis was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival curve. si-HUL and si-NC plasmids were transfected into 5637 cells by siRNA interference technology, and the effects of silencing HULC on proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of 5637 cells were determined by CCK-8, Flow cytometry, Wound-healing assay and Transwell method, respectively. Results: The expression of HULC in bladder cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues (P<0.05), and its expression level was correlated with tumor grade, tumor stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05).The OS and PFS of patients with high HULC expression were significantly lower than those with low expression (all P<0.05). The expression level of HULC in 5637 cells was significantly higher than that in SV-HUC-1 cells (P<0.01). After silencing HULC, the proliferation, migration and invasion of 5637 cells were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the apoptosis rate was significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion: lncRNA HULC is highly expressed in bladder cancer tissues and 5637 cells. Silencing HULC expression can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion but promote apoptosis of bladder cancer cells.
