The long noncoding RNA HULC promotes liver cancer by increasing the expression of the HMGA2 oncogene via sequestration of the microRNA-186

Abstract: The long noncoding RNA highly up-regulated in liver cancer (HULC) is aberrantly elevated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and this up-regulation is crucial for HCC pathogenesis. However, the underlying mechanism in HULC up-regulation is poorly understood. We hypothesized that HULC might modulate the oncogene high mobility group A2 (HMGA2) to promote hepatocarcinogenesis. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed that the expression levels of HULC were positively correlated with those of HMGA2 in clinical HC… Show more

“…Moreover, aberrant expression of ncRNAs has been documented in several human tumors, suggesting that ncRNAs may significantly contribute to their pathogenesis . For example, lncRNA‐HULC overexpression may suppress miR‐186 expression, resulting in increased expression of its target protein, HMGA2, which serves as an oncogene in hepatocellular carcinoma . Such mRNA/miR‐lncRNA coregulatory pairs (eg, TCF7L2/miR‐217‐CRNDE and TUSC7/miR‐211‐CDK6) have also been demonstrated in CRC …”

“…However, such therapy will likely be challenged by the mode of delivery to the intended organ, tissue, and cells, as well as by potential off-target effects. Like the interactions between miRNAs and mRNAs, the interactions between lncRNAs and miRNAs have been reported in the pathogenesis of several cancers, including OC [94,95], gastric [96], hepatocellular carcinoma [97]. Understanding of the interactions between lncRNAs and miRNAs, and their subsequent impacts on the target molecules may facilitate an immense use of lncRNAs as therapeutic targets in future therapies.…”
