Cancer&Entry Information

Cancer Name	gastric cancer
ICD-0-3	C16
Methods	qPCR, Western blot, Luciferase reporter assay, in vitro knockdown, RIP
Sample	gastric cancer tissues, cell lines (SGC-7901, MKN-45, BGC-823, and BGC-823)
Expression Pattern	up-regulated
Function Description	Results revealed that NNT-AS1 expression level was significantly up-regulated in GC tissue and cell lines compared with adjacent normal tissue and normal cell lines. The ectopic overexpression of NNT-AS1 indicated the poor prognosis of GC patients. In vitro experiments validated that NNT-AS1 knockdown suppressed the proliferation and invasion ability and induced the GC cell cycle progression arrest at G0/G1 phase. In vivo xenograft assay, NNT-AS1 silencing decreased the tumour growth of GC cells. Bioinformatics online program predicted that miR-424 targeted the 3'-UTR of NNT-AS1. Luciferase reporter assay, RNA-immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull-down assay validated the molecular binding within NNT-AS1 and miR-424, therefore jointly forming the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Moreover, E2F1 was verified to act as the target gene of NNT-AS1/miR-424, indicating the NNT-AS1/miR-424/E2F1 axis.
