Abstract:Objective: To investigate the biological function and possible mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MNX1-AS1 (lncRNA MNX1-AS1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: The cancer tissue and adjacent tissue samples of 75 NSCLC patients who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from June 2017 to March 2019 were taken. RT-qPCR method was performed to detect the expression level of lncRNA MNX1-AS1 in the samples, the correlation between the expression of lncRNA MNX1-AS1 and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of NSCLC was analyzed; the NSCLC cell line PC-9 cells were cultured in vitro and transfected with si-MNX1-AS1 (si-MNX1-AS1 group) and si-NC (si-NC group), respectively. the proliferation of PC-9 cells in each group was detected by MTT assay and EdU assay; Transwell chamber assay was performed to detect cell migration and invasion; Western blot assay was performed to detect the expression of PI3K/AKT pathway-related proteins. Results: The expression level of lncRNA MNX1-AS1 was obviously higher in NSCLC cancer tissues and cell lines (P<0.05). The expression of lncRNA MNX1-AS1 was associated with TNM stage and lymphatic metastasis (P<0.05), Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the 3-year cumulative survival rate of patients in the high expression group of lncRNA MNX1-AS1 was obviously lower than that in the low expression group (42.11% vs 81.08%, χ2=11.132, P=0.001); compared with the si-NC group, the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of PC-9 cells in the si-MNX1-AS1 group and the protein expression levels of p-PI3K, p-AKT and p-mTOR were obviously decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion: The expression level of lncRNA MNX1-AS1 is increased in NSCLC, which may affect the proliferation, migration and invasion of NSCLC cells by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway, and promote the occurrence and development of NSCLC.
