Long non-coding RNA RAB11B-AS1 prevents osteosarcoma development and progression via its natural antisense transcript RAB11B .
Oncotarget 2018 June 2
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to exert essential roles in development and progression of tumors. Here we discovered a novel lncRNA, RAB11B antisense RNA (RAB11B-AS1), which is markedly down-regulated in human osteosarcoma (OS) and associated with OS metastasis and poor prognosis. We find that reduction of RAB11B-AS1 significantly facilitates proliferation, migration and invasiveness and prevents apoptosis of OS cells and results in lower sensitivity to cisplatin in these cells. In contrast, up-regulation of RAB11B-AS1 suppresses the aggressive behaviors of OS cells. Mechanistically, down-regulation of RAB11B-AS1 elevates its sense-cognate gene RAB11B expression at both mRNA and protein levels. RAB11B-AS1 expression correlates negatively with RAB11B expression in OS tissues. Luciferase reporter assay illuminated that RAB11B-AS1 regulates RAB11B expression through antisense pairing. Most importantly, all the effects of RAB11B-AS1 were abrogated by RAB11B down-regulation. Thus our findings revealed that lnc-RAB11B-AS1 prevents osteosarcoma development and progression via inhibiting RAB11B expression, indicating lnc-RAB11B-AS1 as a potential therapeutic target for osteosarcoma.
