Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | colon cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C18 |
| Methods | qPCR, Western blot, other |
| Sample | colon cancer tissues and cell lines (HT29, HCT-116) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | Importantly, the cumulative survival rate of patients with high levels of FAL1 in tumor tissues was considerably lower than those with low FAL1 levels in tumor tissues. Cox regression analysis showed that lncRNA FAL1 could act as an independent prognostic factor in CRC. Knockdown of FAL1 in HT29 cells attenuated cell proliferation and stimulated cell apoptosis. In contrast, overmetastasis-related molecules Bcl-2, TGF-?1, p65, and PCNA at the mRNA and protein levels. Mechanistically, FAL1 was found to interact with STAT3 at 200 to 400 bp and promote phosphorylation of STAT3. In addition, we found that knockdown of STAT3 in HT29 cells abolished the effects of FAL1 on cell proliferation as well as the expression of TGF-?1 and Bcl-2. |
