Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | prostate cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C61.9 |
| Methods | qPCR, RNAi, Western blot etc. |
| Sample | prostate cancer tissues, cell lines (22RV1, PC3, LNCaP) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | Herein, we found that UCA1 was abnormally upregulated in tumor tissues from PC patients, and patients with high UCA1 levels had a significantly poorer prognosis. Intriguingly, the mRNA and protein levels of KLF4 were significantly increased in tumor tissues, which was highly correlated to UCA1 levels. Moreover, UCA1 depletion inhibited the growth and induced apoptosis in PC3 and LNCaP cell lines. In addition, UCA1 loss-of-function could decrease KLF4 expression, subsequently, the downregulation of KRT6 and KRT13. Taken together, our study indicated that UCA1 had a crucial role in the tumorigenesis of PC. |
