The interplay between ATF2 and NEAT1 contributes to lung adenocarcinoma progression

BACKGROUND: Activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2), a member of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor family, has been shown to be involved in the pathobiology of numerous cancers. However, the biological role and mechanism of ATF2 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains to be elucidat...

description BACKGROUND: Activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2), a member of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor family, has been shown to be involved in the pathobiology of numerous cancers. However, the biological role and mechanism of ATF2 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains to be elucidated. METHODS: The expression of ATF2, NEAT1 and miR-26a-5p in LUAD tissues and cell lines was detected by qRT-PCR and western blotting. The interaction between ATF2, NEAT1, and miR-26a-5p was validated by chromatin immunoprecipitation, luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation. Cell proliferation, invasion and tumorigenesis of LUAD cells were analyzed by using CCK8, transwell invasion assay and xenograft tumor model. RESULTS: We confirmed that ATF2 expression was increased in LUAD tissues compared with normal adjacent lung tissues. Functional experiments showed that ATF2 positively regulated cell proliferation and invasion in LUAD cells. Moreover, we identified that NEAT1 expression was increased in LUAD tissues and positively correlated with ATF2 expression. Mechanistically, ATF2 could bind to the promoter of NEAT1 to promote its transcription. Rescue experiments showed that ATF2 exerted its oncogenic function in LUAD, at least, partly through NEAT1 upregulation. In turn, NEAT1 could positively regulate ATF2 expression and form a positive feedback loop in LUAD cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that NEAT1 positively regulated ATF2 expression via sponging miR-26a-5p. CONCLUSION: ATF2 and NEAT1 form a positive feedback loop mediated by miR-26a-5p and coordinately contribute to LUAD progression.
