Abstract:Objective: To investigate the expression level of lncRNA CasC7 in cervical cancer and its role in tumorigenesis and development of cervical cancer. Methods: Bioinformatics was utilized to analyse the expression level of lncRNA CasC7 in GSE9750, a gene expression microarrays for cervical cancer. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression level of CasC7 in cervical cancer tissues, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia tissues, normal cervical tissues and normal cervical epithelial cells (H8 cells), cervical cancer cells (SiHa cells, CaSki cells and HeLa cells). Association between the expression of CasC7 and clinicopathological features of cervical cancer was analyzed. Meanwhile, the CCK-8 assays was used to measured cell proliferation when CasC7 expression was inhibited. Results: LncRNA expression in cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia was higher than that in normal cervical tissues (P<0.01). Compared with normal cervical epithelial cells, CasC7 was up-regulated in SiHa cells, CaSki cells and HeLa cells (P<0.05). High expression of CasC7 was correlated with advanced FIGO stage (P=0.001) and poor differentiation (P=0.015). However, neither patients age nor tumor size was associated with the expression of CasC7 (P>0.05). CCK-8 assays showed that cell proliferation of SiHa cells, CaSki cells and HeLa cells was suppressed by CasC7 knockdown (P<0.05). Conclusion: CasC7 may act as an oncogene during the development of cervical cancer.
