Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a serious threat to human health worldwide. lncRNA dysregulation is frequently observed in various cancers, including HCC. However, the function of LINC01370 in HCC progression and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Methods LINC01370 expression in HCC tissues with cells was analyzed by applying the GEO and GEPIA databases and qRT-PCR. CCK-8 and Transwell assays were used to assess HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. The PI3K, AKT, with p-AKT protein expression were analyzed by western blotting. Results Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) showed that LINC01370 expression was significantly lower in HCC tissues than in normal tissues. LINC01370 overexpression markedly repressed HepG2 SMMC-7721 cells proliferation, migration, and invasion. To understand the downstream mechanism of LINC01370 regulation, we further analyzed the genes co-expressed with LINC01370 in GSE136247 and GSE132037 and then performed KEGG analysis. The PA pathway was found to be a downstream pathway regulated by LINC01370 in GSE136247 and GSE132037 via gene co-expression and KEGG analysis. Furthermore, PI3K and p-AKT protein levels decreased after LINC01370 overexpression. Importantly, rescue experiments showed that activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway disrupted the repressive effect of LINC01370 overexpression on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HepG2 of SMMC-7721 cells. Conclusions This study verified that LINC01370 suppresses HCC proliferation with metastasis by regulating the PI3K/AKT pathway.
