ABSTRACT

We aimed at the effects of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG5 on proliferation, metastasis and migration of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. We also investigated regulatory relationships among miR-132-3p, SNHG5 and CREB5 and their roles in CRC. 25 pairs of samples containing CRC tissues and matched para-tumor tissues were obtained to examine SNHG5, miR-132-3p and CREB5 expression by qRT-PCR or Western blot. The targeted relationship between miR-132-3p and SNHG5 or CREB5 was confirmed by dual luciferase report assay as well as RNA pull down assay. The expression of SNHG5, miR-132-3p and CREB5 in CRC cells were regulated by cell transfection. CRC cellular proliferation was assayed by CCK-8 and meanwhile flow cytometry was adopted to observe apoptosis. Metastasis and migration of CRC cells were determined respectively by means of Transwell assay and scratch test. The effects of SNHG5 on CRC were researched in vivo, too. SNHG5 or CREB5 was up-regulated in CRC tissues and cells, whereas miR-132-3p was down-regulated. Overexpression of SNHG5 and CREB5 resulted in the enhancement of proliferation, metastasis, migration and the inhibition of apoptosis in CRC cells, while miR-132-3p led to the opposite result. LncRNA SNHG5 promoted proliferation, migration and metastasis of CRC cells but inhibited apoptosis by modulating miR-132-3p/CERB5.
