Résumé
Background: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been regarded as a new tumor biomarker in recent years, but studies on effect of lncRNA in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer is limited. Aims: To investigate the relationship between the changes of lncRNA and clinicopathologic features, prognosis of colorectal cancer. Methods: LncRNA related to the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients collected from TCGA data were screened by Cox analysis, and the correlation between lncRNA and clinicopathologic features was analyzed. Colorectal cancer cell line stably low-expressed with LINC00327 was constructed. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect gene expression, cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay, and cell invasion was determined by Transwell experiment. Results: There were 94 lncRNA that varied in frequency between 5% and 31%, 7 of which with mRNA expression changes (DSCR4A, DSCR8, FAM138F, LINC00161, LINC00303, LINC00313, LINC00315) were associated with low overall survival rate; 6 of which with copy number alteration (LINC00327, LINC00352, LINC00362, LINC00424, LINC00566, LINC00621) were related to tumor recurrence. The above mentioned mRNA expression change was significantly correlated with age and lymph node metastasis. Copy number alteration was closely correlated with clinical stage and vascular infiltration. The down-regulation of LINC00327 could inhibit the proliferation and invasion of tumor cells. Conclusions: LncRNA that related to the prognosis and clinicopathologic features of colorectal cancer patients can be used for early diagnosis, prediction of progression and analysis of prognosis of colorectal cancer. LINC00327 may be considered as a potential oncogene.
