Knockdown of long non-coding RNA CCAT2 suppresses growth and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by inhibiting the β-catenin/WISP1 signaling pathway

OBJECTIVE: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) colon cancer-associated transcript 2 (CCAT2) plays oncogenic roles in several cancers, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the specific mechanism of how CCAT2 influences ESCC tumorigenesis is still unknown. METHODS: Using RT-qPCR, the...

description OBJECTIVE: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) colon cancer-associated transcript 2 (CCAT2) plays oncogenic roles in several cancers, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the specific mechanism of how CCAT2 influences ESCC tumorigenesis is still unknown. METHODS: Using RT-qPCR, the mRNA expression levels of CCAT2 in 33 paired ESCC and adjacent non-cancer tissues and cell lines were measured. Lentiviral vector sh-CCAT2 was designed and transfected into TE10 cells. CCK-8 and transwell assays were employed to detect the effects of CCAT2 knockdown on cell proliferation and invasion, respectively. RT-qPCR and western blots were used to detect the effects of CCAT2 knockdown. RESULTS: CCAT2 was overexpressed in ESCC tissues compared with corresponding adjacent tissues. CCAT2 knockdown could suppress cell proliferation and invasion in vitro. Furthermore, knockdown of CCAT2 could suppress the mRNA and protein levels of β-catenin and Wnt-induced-secreted-protein-1 (WISP1), as well as the mRNA levels of their downstream targets VEGF-A, MMP2, and ICAM-1. High expression of CCAT2 and WISP1 were associated with poor prognosis of ESCC patients. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, a novel CCAT2/β-catenin/WISP1 axis was revealed in ESCC progression and may provide a promising therapeutic target against ESCC. CCAT2 and WISP1 are potential molecular biomarkers for predicting prognosis of ESCC.
