RP11-296E3.2 acts as an important molecular chaperone for YBX1 and promotes colorectal cancer proliferation and metastasis by activating STAT3

Abstract Background RP11-296E3.2 is a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis, that was reported in our previous clinical studies. However, the mechanisms of RP11-296E3.2 in colorectal tumorigenesis remain elusive. Methods RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), Fluore...

description Abstract Background RP11-296E3.2 is a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis, that was reported in our previous clinical studies. However, the mechanisms of RP11-296E3.2 in colorectal tumorigenesis remain elusive. Methods RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), Transwell assays and others, were performed to evaluate the function of RP11-296E3.2 for proliferation and metastasis in vitro. In situ and metastatic tumor models were performed to evaluate the function of RP11-296E3.2 for proliferation and metastasis in vivo. RNA-pulldown, RNA-interacting protein immunoprecipitation (RIP), tissue microarray (TMA) assay, a luciferase reporter assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and others were performed to explore the mechanisms by which RP11-296E3.2 regulates CRC tumorigenesis. Results RP11-296E3.2 was confirmed to be associated with CRC cell proliferation and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, RP11-296E3.2 directly bound to recombinant Y-Box Binding Protein 1 (YBX1) and enhanced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) transcription and phosphorylation. YBX1 promoted the CRC cell proliferation and migration, while knockdown of RP11-296E3.2 attenuated the effects of YBX1 on CRC cell proliferation, and metastasis and the expression of several related downstream genes. We are the first to discover and confirm the existence of the YBX1/STAT3 pathway, a pathway dependent on RP11-296E3.2. Conclusion Together, these novel findings show that the RP11-296E3.2/YBX1 pathway promotes colorectal tumorigenesis and progression by activating STAT3 transcription and phosphorylation, and suggest that RP11-296E3.2 is a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in CRC.
