| description | PPP1R14B-AS1 is an antisense long non-coding RNA with unknown functions. Herein, gene differential analyses were performed using the data of patients with liver cancer and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. PPP1R14B-AS1 was found to be upregulated and also overexpressed in 10 other types of cancers. In addition, PPP1R14B-AS1 overexpression was associated with poor overall prognosis in eight cancers. Furthermore, PPPAR14B-AS1 upregulation was positively associated with worsening development of liver and LUAD cancers and related to poor disease-free survival. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses suggested that PPP1R14B-AS1 strongly participated in regulating cell aerobic respiration processes, such as mitochondrial electron respiration chain and NADH dehydrogenation processes. Cell cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA purification assessment results revealed that PPP1R14B-AS existed in the cell nucleus and cytoplasm. The knockdown of PPP1R14B-AS1 in HepG2 and A549 cells using PPP1R14B-AS1-specific siRNAs decreased mitochondrial respiration as demonstrated by the reduction in basal respiration and ATP production. Moreover, PPP1R14B-AS1 downregulation did not obviously affect cell glycolysis ability. Finally, PPP1R14B-AS1 inhibition inhibited HepG2 and A549 cell migration and proliferation. In summary, our study found for the first time that PPP1R14B-AS1 could be a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis and that PPP1R14B-AS1 inhibition could be a potentially effective therapy. |
