Abstract:
:This study aims to study the effects of intra-nuclear lncRNA MEG3 on the progression of prostate cancer and the underlying mechanisms. Expressions of relative molecules were detected by Quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were used to evaluate the interaction between intra-nuclear MEG3, histone methyltransferase EZH2 and Engrailed-2 (EN2). The impacts of MEG3 on the viability, proliferation and invasion of prostate cancer cells (PC3) were evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium, colony formation and transwell assays, respectively. PC3 cells were transfected with MEG3 and transplanted into nude mice to analyse the effect of MEG3 on tumourigenesis of PC3 cells in vivo. EN2 expression was inversely proportional to MEG3 in the prostate cancer tissues and PC3 cells. RIP results showed that intra-nuclear MEG3 could bind to EZH2. Knockdown of MEG3 and/or EZH2 up-regulated EN2 expression and reduced the recruitment of EZH2 and H3K27me3 to EN2, while over-expressed MEG3 caused opposite effects. MEG3 over-expression suppressed cell viability, colony formation, cell invasion and migration of PC3 cells in vitro and inhibited tumourigenesis of PC3 cells in vivo, while EN2 over-expression diminished the effects. These findings indicated that MEG3 facilitated H3K27 trimethylation of EN2 via binding to EZH2, thus suppressed the development of prostate cancer.
