Abstract:

Objective To investigate small nucleolar RNA host gene 1(SNHG1) promoting the growth of gastric cancer through binding to microRNA-145(miR-145). Methods Kaplan-Meier Plotter database analyzed the correlation of SNHG1 with gastric cancer overall survival. Bioinformatics analysis and real-time fluorescence quantitation polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR) were used to investigate the expression level and the expression relationship of SNHG1 and miR-145 in gastric cancer. The influence of overexpression and knock-down of SNHG1 on the growth of gastric cancer cell was determined by CCK8 assay. Luciferase reporter gene assay studied the interaction between SNHG1 and miR-145. Western blot was used to determined the change of CTNNB1 and MYC protein with the transfection of SNHG1,miR-145 and SNHG1 with miR-145. Results The overall survival of patients with low SNHG1 expression was longer than that of patients with high SNHG1 expression(P=0.015). Compared to adjacent tissues,the expression level of SNHG1 in gastric cancer tissues was increased(P<0.05). The overexpression of SNHG1 promoted the growth of gastric cancer cells,while knock-down SNHG1 inhibited cell growth. Luciferase reporter assay showed that SNHG1 could bind to miR-145 effectively. The miR-145 down-regulated the expressions of CTNNB1 and MYC proteins,SNHG1 promoted the expressions of CTNNB1 and MYC proteins,and SNHG1 inhibited the down-regulation of CTNNB1 and MYC proteins by miR-145. Conclusions The over-expressed SNHG1 in gastric cancer binding to miR-145 enhances the expression of CTNNB1 and MYC proteins that could promote gastric cancer growth.
