- Abstract
It has been reported that lncRNA POU3F3 was upregulated in esophageal squamous-cell carcinomas, indicating its role as an oncogene in this disease. However, the mechanism of its function and its involvement in other malignancies is unknown. In the present study we found that expression levels of lncRNA POU3F3 were higher in tumor tissues than in adjacent healthy tissues of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients and were significantly and inversely correlated with levels of cleaved caspase 9 only in tumor tissues. In addition, plasma levels of lncRNA POU3F3 were higher in TNBC patients than in healthy controls and were significantly and inversely correlated with levels of cleaved caspase 9 only in TNBC patients. In addition, treatment of exogenous Cleaved Caspase-9 significantly attenuated the effects of lncRNA POU3F3 overexpression on cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. lncRNA POU3F3 may promote proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of cancer cells in triple-negative breast cancer. LncRNA POU3F3 overexpression promoted cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis possibly through the interaction with cleaved caspase 9
