Long Noncoding RNA LINC01006 Facilitates Cell Proliferation, Migration, and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Lung Adenocarcinoma via Targeting the MicroRNA 129-2-3p/CTNNB1 Axis and Activating Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a common type of malignancy of lung cancers. Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators of various cancers, including LUAD. LINC01006 is a newly discovered long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) whose function in LUAD remains to be explored. This study is to explore the role of LINC01006 in LUAD. Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis and Western blotting were used to determine the expression levels and protein levels, respectively. Functional assays and animal experiments investigated the role of LINC01006 both in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, TOP/FOP assay was performed to detect the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The interaction between LINC01006 and microRNA 29-2-3-p (miR-29-2-3-p)/catenin beta 1 (CTNNB1) was explored by RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP), RNA pulldown, luciferase reporter assays, and rescue experiments. According to the results, LINC01006 was highly expressed in LUAD tissues and cell lines. LINC01006 knockdown significantly suppressed cell proliferative, migratory, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) capacities and tumor development. Moreover, LINC01006 enhanced CTNNB1 via sequestering miR-129-2-3p and activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in LUAD. Overall, LINC01006 promotes LUAD development via activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, implying that LINC01006 might be a promising biomarker for LUAD treatment.
