Targeting LncRNA EPIC1 to inhibit human colon cancer cell progression

Abstract: Long non-coding RNA EPIC1 (Lnc-EPIC1) binds MYC protein, which is essential for MYC function and expression of MYC target genes. The current study tested its expression and potential functions in human colon cancer cells. We show that Lnc-EPIC1 expression is elevated in human colon cancer tissues and primary human colon cancer cells. Whereas its expression is relatively low in normal colon tissues and colon epithelial cells. In the primary human colon cancer cells, Lnc-EPIC1 siRNA largely inhibited cancer cell… Show more

“…The number of colon cancer has seen a sharp increase, especially in younger patients, possibly owing to eating habits and lifestyle [ 9 ]. About 1 million new cases of colon cancer are annually reported worldwide, and the mortality rate is as high as 40% [ 10 ]. Currently, colon cancer treatment involves comprehensive care and is based on surgery.…”

“…ENSG00000234456 (MAGI2-AS3) has been found to be involved in multiple cancers, including esophageal cancer (34), bladder cancer (35), breast cancer (36), and colon adenocarcinoma (37). Compared to other CC-related lncRNA biomarkers (38,39), these four lncRNAs are relatively novel and have good prognostic efficacy. Therefore, we hope that our results will be helpful in identifying potential targeting prognostic lncRNAs for m6A regulators, thus providing insights for their deeper study in CC tumorigenesis and progression.…”

“…In some cases, lncRNAs may regulate c-Myc by direct targeting. Lnc-EPIC1 silencing triggers apoptosis of colon cancer cells by directly binding to c-Myc and downregulating c-Myc downstream effectors [122]. However, most of the c-Myc-regulating lncRNAs did not investigate their targeting potential.…”
