Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the role of LINC00513 in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression.Materials & methods: Cell proliferation was evaluated using Cell Counting Kit-8. Cell migration was detected with transwell assay. RNA pull-down was applied for verifying the interactions between LINC00513, IGF2BP1and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF).Results: LINC00513, IGF2BP1and CTGF levels were upregulated in CRC. Knockdown of LINC00513 significantly inhibited the malignant behavior of CRC cells. LINC00513 increased CTGF mRNA stability by binding with IGF2BP1. Furthermore, overexpression of IGF2BP1 or CTGF reversed the inhibitory effect of LINC00513 shRNA on CRC progression.Conclusion: LINC00513 promoted CRC cell malignant behaviors through IGF2BP1/CTGF.
