GAPLINC is a predictor of poor prognosis and regulates cell migration and invasion in osteosarcoma
Gastric adenocarcinoma predictive long intergenic non-coding (GAPLINC) is a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and has been found to function as an oncogenic lncRNA in gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and bladder cancer. The expression status and biological function of GAPLINC in osteosarcoma are...

Sumario: | Gastric adenocarcinoma predictive long intergenic non-coding (GAPLINC) is a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and has been found to function as an oncogenic lncRNA in gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and bladder cancer. The expression status and biological function of GAPLINC in osteosarcoma are still unknown. Thus, we analyzed the association between GAPLINC expression and clinicopathological characteristics in osteosarcoma clinical samples, and conducted loss-of-function study in osteosarcoma cell lines. In our results, GAPLINC expression is elevated in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines, and correlated with advanced Enneking stage, present distant metastasis, and poor histological grade. Survival analyses indicated that GAPLINC expression was negatively associated with overall survival, and GAPLINC high-expression was an independent risk factor in osteosarcoma patients. The in vitro studies showed knockdown of GAPLINC depressed osteosarcoma cell migration and invasion via inhibiting CD44 expression, but no effect on cell proliferation. In conclusion, GAPLINC may serve as a potential biomarker for predicting prognosis and developing therapy for osteosarcoma. |
