The novel long non-coding RNA LATS2-AS1-001 inhibits gastric cancer progression by regulating the LATS2/YAP1 signaling pathway via binding to EZH2

Abstract Background To explore the expression pattern and role of the novel long non-coding RNA LATS2 antisense transcript 1 (LATS2-AS1-001) in gastric cancer (GC). Methods qRT-PCR was applied to evaluate LATS2-AS1-001 expression and correlation with LATS2 in GC. In vitro experiments were performed...

description Abstract Background To explore the expression pattern and role of the novel long non-coding RNA LATS2 antisense transcript 1 (LATS2-AS1-001) in gastric cancer (GC). Methods qRT-PCR was applied to evaluate LATS2-AS1-001 expression and correlation with LATS2 in GC. In vitro experiments were performed to investigate the role of LATS2-AS1-001 in GC cells. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) was performed to assess the interaction between EZH2 and LATS2-AS1-001. LATS2/YAP1 signaling pathway proteins were detected by immunoblot. Oncomine and KMPLOT data analysis was conducted to assess the prognostic value of YAP1 in GC. Results Decreased expression levels of LATS2-AS1-001 and LATS2 were confirmed in 357 GC tissues compared with the normal mucosa. A strong positive correlation between LATS2-AS1-001 and LATS mRNA expression was found in Pearson Correlation analysis (r = 0.719, P < 0.001). Furthermore, ROC curve analysis revealed areas under the curves for LATS2-AS1-001 and LATS2 of 0.7274 and 0.6865, respectively (P < 0.001), which indicated that LATS2-AS1-001 and LATS could be used as diagnostic indicators in GC. Moreover, ectopic expression of LATS2-AS1-001 decreased cell viability, induced G0/G1 phase arrest, and inhibited cell migration and invasion in GC cells. Mechanistically, overexpressing LATS2-AS1-001 upregulated LATS2 and induced YAP1 phosphorylation via binding to EZH2. Oncomine and KMPLOT database analysis demonstrated YAP1 was highly expressed in human GC samples, and high YAP1 expression predicted poor patient prognosis in GC. Conclusion This study revealed that lncRNA LATS2-AS1-001 might serve as a potential diagnostic index in GC and act as a suppressor of GC progression.
