Abstract:Objective: To investigate the regulation of long non-coding RNA nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (lncRNA NEAT1) on the miR-506-5p/cofilin-2 (CFL2) axis, and its influences on the biological behaviors of gastric cancer cells such as proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. Methods: BGC-823 cells were cultured in vitro, and lncRNA NEAT1 low expression vector (si-NEAT1) and miR-506-5p inhibitor (miR-506-5p inhibitor) were transfected into BGC-823 cells, which were divided into the si-NC group, si-NEAT1 group, inhibitor NC group, miR-506-5p inhibitor NC group, si-NEAT1+miR-506-5p inhibitor NC group, and si-NEAT1+miR-506-5p inhibitor group. RT-qPCR was performed to determine the expression of lncRNA NEAT1 and miR-506-5p to determine the transfection efficiency. CCK-8 assay was performed to determine proliferation. Flow cytometry was performed to determine apoptosis; a Transwell assay was performed to determine migration and invasion. Western blot was performed to determine the protein expressions of CFL2 and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4). Dual-luciferase validation assay was performed to validate the targeting relationship of lncRNA NEAT1, CFL2, and miR-506-5p; nude mouse tumor-bearing experiments were carried out to further verify the targeted regulation of lncRNA NEAT1, miR-506-5p, and CFL2. Results: Compared with the si-NC group, cell proliferation, invasion ability, and CFL2 expression in the si-NEAT1 group were decreased, while apoptosis rate and miR-506-5p expression were increased (P<0.05). Compared with the inhibitor NC group, cell proliferation, invasion ability, and CFL2 expression were increased in the miR-506-5p inhibitor group, while apoptosis rate and miR-506-5p expression were decreased (P<0.05). LncRNA NEAT1 could target and regulate the expression of miR-506-5p, and CFL2 was the target gene of miR-506-5p. Knockdown of miR-506-5p could weaken the anti-proliferation, anti-invasion, and pro-apoptosis effects of lncRNA NEAT1 low expression (P<0.05). miR-506-5p inhibitor attenuated the anti-graft tumor growth effect of lncRNA NEAT1 low expression (P<0.05). Overexpression of CFL2 attenuated the anti-graft tumor growth effect of overexpression of miR-506-5p (P<0.05). Conclusion: LncRNA NEAT1 can affect the biological behaviors such as proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis of human gastric cancer cells by targeting and regulating the miR-506-5p/CFL2 axis.
