    Abstract:
    Plasmacytoma variant translocation1 (PVT1) was reported to be upregulated in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues, serve as a promising biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of NSCLC, and promoted NSCLC cell proliferation. However, the detailed molecular mechanism of PVT1 involved in the pathogenesis and development of NSCLC remains largely unknown. In this study, the expression levels of PVT1 and miR-497 in NSCLC cells were determined by qRT-PCR. Cell viability, invasion and apoptosis were detected by MTT assay, cell invasion assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and luciferase reporter assay were performed to confirm whether PVT1 directly interacts with miR-497. A xenograft mouse model was established to confirm the effect of PVT1 on tumor growth in vivo and the underlying molecular mechanism. Our findings indicated that PVT1 was significantly upregulated and miR-497 was markedly downregulated in NSCLC cell lines. si-PVT1 effectively decreased the expression of PVT1 and increased the expression of miR-497. PVT1 knockdown remarkably inhibited cell viability, invasion and promoted apoptosis in NSCLC cells. RIP and luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that PVT1 could directly interact with miR-497. Moreover, PVT1 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-497 on cell viability, invasion and promotion effect on apoptosis of NSCLC cells. Furthermore, in vivo experiment showed that knockdown of PVT1 inhibited tumor growth in vivo and promoted miR-497 expression. In conclusion, knockdown of PVT1 inhibited cell viability, invasion and induced apoptosis in NSCLC by regulating miR-497 expression, elucidating the molecular mechanism of the oncogenic role of PVT1 in NSCLC and providing an lncRNA-directed target for NSCLC.
