PG - 414-431 LID - 10.1007/s10495-022-01781-6 [doi] AB - SNHG4 is a lncRNA that was previously reported to promote colorectal cancer (CRC) progression via molecular sponge mechanism. Bioinformatic analysis suggested SNHG4 might scaffold TAF15 protein-RNF14 mRNA interaction. We aimed to investigate the mechanisms of potential SNHG4/TAF15/RNF14 axis in promoting CRC malignant phenotypes. Protein-RNA interaction was determined using RNA immunoprecipitation, pull-down and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) combined immunofluorescence assays. Cell apoptosis rates were quantified using flow cytometry. CCK-8 and colony formation were adopted to determine cell proliferation. Wound healing and transwell assays were employed to assess cell migration and invasion, respectively. Xenograft tumor model was applied to assess the effects of SNHG4 on CRC tumorigenesis in vivo. SNHG4, TAF15 and RNF14 were up-regulated in CRC tissues. SNHG4 overexpression promoted cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and Wnt/beta-catenin pathway activation in vitro, as well as tumor growth in vivo. The inhibited malignant phenotypes caused by SNHG4 knockdown were impeded by TAF15 or RNF14 overexpression. Mechanistically, SNHG4 recruited TAF15 protein and thus promoted the interaction between TAF15 protein and RNF14 mRNA, leading to the increased RNF14 mRNA stability. This in turn facilitated the Wnt/beta-catenin signal transduction. SNHG4 enhanced RNF14 mRNA stability and activated the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway to promote the progression of colorectal cancer by recruiting TAF15 protein. CI - (c) 2022.
