Abstract:Objective: To investigate the effect of long non-coding small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (LncRNA SNHG16) targeting microRNA-212-3p (miR-212-3p)/Family with sequence similarity 3 member C (FAM3C) axis on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of esophageal cancer cells.Methods: Human esophageal cancer cells KYSE-510 were cultured in vitro and divided into five groups: control group, si-NC group, si-SNHG16 group, si-SNHG16+inhibitor NC group, and si-SNHG16+miR-212-3p inhibitor group. The expression levels of LncRNA SNHG16, miR-212-3p, and FAM3C mRNA were detected using RT-qPCR. The proliferation of KYSE-510 cells was assessed using the CCK-8 assay, apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry, migration was evaluated by wound healing assay, and invasion was measured by Transwell assay. The dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between LncRNA SNHG16 and miR-212-3p, as well as between miR-212-3p and FAM3C.Results: Compared with the control and si-NC groups, the si-SNHG16 group showed decreased levels of LncRNA SNHG16 and FAM3C mRNA, reduced OD values, lower wound healing rates, decreased invasion numbers, and increased miR-212-3p levels and apoptosis rates (P<0.05). Compared with the si-SNHG16+inhibitor NC group, the si-SNHG16+miR-212-3p inhibitor group showed decreased miR-212-3p levels and apoptosis rates, and increased FAM3C mRNA levels, OD values, wound healing rates, and invasion numbers (P<0.05), with no difference in LncRNA SNHG16 levels (P>0.05). Bioinformatics prediction revealed the presence of target binding sites between miR-212-3p and both LncRNA SNHG16 and FAM3C, which was further validated by the dual-luciferase reporter assay (P<0.05).Conclusion: LncRNA SNHG16 is upregulated in esophageal cancer. Knockdown of LncRNA SNHG16 can target and upregulate miR-212-3p, inhibiting the expression of FAM3C, thereby suppressing the proliferation, migration, and invasion of esophageal cancer cells and promoting apoptosis.
