Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | colorectal cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C19.9 |
| Methods | qPCR, Western blot, other |
| Sample | colorectal cell lines (LoVo,HT29, HCT116, and Caco-2) |
| Expression Pattern | down-regulated |
| Function Description | Downregulation of UCA1 inhibited autophagy activation and cell proliferation, whereas the apoptosis was increased and the cell cycle was arrested in G2 stage. The next results showed that UCA1 was markedly upregulated in Caco-2 cells. Knockdown of UCA1 significantly decreased the LC3-II and autophagy-related gene 5 (ATG5) protein levels and resulted in an increase in p62 expression. Conversely, the autophagy activator rapamycin (RAPA) reversed the effects. Furthermore, downregulated UCA1 decreased Caco-2 cells population in the G1 phase and increased the cells number in G2 phage. The cell proliferation was inhibited, and apoptosis rate was promoted. More important, RAPA could also abrogate the changes induced by knockdown of UCA1 |
