Abstract
Aim: To explore the roles of GMDS-AS1 in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Materials & methods: Cell functions were detected by flow cytometry, cell counting kit-8, wound healing assays and transwell assays. RNA immunoprecipitation and pull-down assays were applied for determining the interaction among GMDA-AS1, TAF15 and SIRT1. A subcutaneous xenograft model was established. Results: GMDS-AS1 downregulation was associated with poor survival of LUAD patients. GMDS-AS1 repressed malignant phenotypes, tumor growth and EMT in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, GMDS-AS1 recruited TAF15 protein to stabilize SIRT1 mRNA and thereby deacetylated p65 and reduced the recruitment of p65 to MMP-9 promoter, thus inhibiting MMP-9 expression. Conclusion: GMDS-AS1 represses EMT by recruiting TAF15 protein to stabilize SIRT1 mRNA and deacetylate p65, thus restraining LUAD progression.
