Abstract
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) accounts for 90% of all liver cancers and is a serious health concern worldwide. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been observed to sponge microRNAs (miRNAs) and participate in the biological processes of LIHC. This study aimed to evaluate the role of the ST8SIA6-AS1-miR-142-3p-HMGA1 axis in regulating LIHC progression. RT-qPCR and western blotting were performed to determine the levels of ST8SIA6-AS1, miR-142-3p, and HMGA1 in LIHC. The relationship between ST8SIA6-AS1, miR-142-3p, and HMGA1 was assessed using luciferase assay. The role of the ST8SIA6-AS1-miR-142-3p-HMGA1 axis was evaluated in vitro using LIHC cells. Expression of ST8SIA6-AS1 and HMGA1 was significantly upregulated, whereas that of miR-142-3p was markedly lowered in LIHC specimens and cells. ST8SIA6-AS1 accelerated cell growth, invasion, and migration and suppressed apoptosis in LIHC. Notably, ST8SIA6-AS1 inhibited HMGA1 expression by sponging miR-142-3p in LIHC cells. In conclusion, sponging of miR-142-3p by ST8SIA6-AS1 accelerated the growth of cells while preventing cell apoptosis in LIHC cells, and the inhibitory effect of miR-142-3p was abrogated by elevating HMGA1 expression. The ST8SIA6-AS1-miR-142-3p-HMGA1 axis represents a potential target for the treatment of patients with LIHC.<br /> (© 2023. The Author(s).)
