Abstract

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) appear to be the crucial modulators in various processes and critically influence the oncogenesis. As one of the LncRNAs, LncRNA CCAT1 has been reported to be closely associated with the progression multiple cancers, but its role in modulating the radioresistance of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear. In our present study, we screened the potential radioresistance related LncRNAs in LUAD based on the data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Data suggested that CCAT1 was abundantly expressed in LUAD and CCAT1 was significantly associated with poor prognosis and radioresistance. Moreover, our in vitro experiments showed that radiation treatment could trigger elevated expression of CCAT1 in the human LUAD cell lines. Further loss/gain-of-function investigations indicated that CCAT1 knockdown significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration and promoted cell apoptosis in NCI-H1299 cells under irradiation, whereas CCAT1 overexpression in A549 cells yield the opposite effects. In summary, we identified the promoting role of CCAT1 in radioresistance of LUAD, which may provide a theoretical basis for radiotherapy sensitization of LUAD.
