Long Non-Coding RNA HULC Promotes Progression of Bone Neoplasms.
Summary of "Long Non-Coding RNA HULC Promotes Progression of Bone Neoplasms."
BACKGROUND Bone neoplasms are common in humans and have high lethality. Recently, great progress has been made in understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms, but little is known about the molecular and genetic networks involved. MATERIAL AND METHODS qRT-PCR assays were conducted to detect the expression levels of lncRNA HULC in various cell lines. MTT assay, Transwell assay, and wound-healing assay were performed to investigate the proliferation speed, invasion ability, and migration ability of each cell line, respectively. Western blot analysis was also done to assess the expression level of EMT-related factors. Statistical analysis was performed using the t test, Kaplan-Meier method, and log-rank test. RESULTS Compared to the human normal bone cell line, we found lncRNA HULC was over-expressed in all 6 bone neoplasm cell lines, and we finally chose HT1080 and Saos-2 cell lines, which possessed the highest lncRNA HULC expression level, for the subsequent studies. We then observed that the expression level of lncRNA HULC was negatively correlated with overall survival rate of bone neoplasm patients, which means that lncRNA HULC has prognostic value in patients with bone neoplasms. Thus, we assessed the influence of lncRNA HULC down-regulation on proliferation, invasion, and migration abilities of bone neoplasm cells, and found a significant decrease in these abilities. Finally, we found that down-regulating lncRNA HULC led to decreased expression of EMT-related factors in bone neoplasm cells. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA HULC can promote the tumorigenesis of bone neoplasms through increasing the proliferation, invasion, and migration abilities and the expression level of EMT-related factors.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Bone Marrow Neoplasms
Neoplasms located in the bone marrow. They are differentiated from neoplasms composed of bone marrow cells, such as MULTIPLE MYELOMA. Most bone marrow neoplasms are metastatic.
Neoplasms, Bone Tissue
Neoplasms composed of bony tissue, whether normal or of a soft tissue which has become ossified. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in bones.
Bone Neoplasms
Tumors or cancer located in bone tissue or specific BONES.
Bone Cysts
Benign unilocular lytic areas in the proximal end of a long bone with well defined and narrow endosteal margins. The cysts contain fluid and the cyst walls may contain some giant cells. Bone cysts usually occur in males between the ages 3-15 years.
Papillomavirus Infections
Neoplasms of the skin and mucous membranes caused by papillomaviruses. They are usually benign but some have a high risk for malignant progression.
