Abstract

Objective: Human brain glioma is the most malignant primary intracranial tumor, which has poor prognosis and high mortality. Long noncoding RNAs are considered to take part in cellular phenotypes and are emerging as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of glioma. This study will research the effects of Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene 5 (SNHG5) gene on malignant cellular phenotypes in glioma and explore the possible mechanisms.

Materials and Methods: The expression level of SNHG5 was examined using quantitative Real-time PCR in glioma tissues and cell lines. Loss-of-function experiments of SNHG5 together with Enhanced Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry and cell invasion assay were used to investigate the effects of SNHG5 on malignant cellular phenotypes of glioma cells. Finally, luciferase assay and western blotting were applied to determine the activity of WNT/CTNNB1 signaling pathway.

Results: SNHG5 gene was high-expressed in glioma tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of SNHG5 gene depressed cell proliferation and invasiveness as well as promoted the apoptosis of U251 and U87 cells. In addition, online database analysis showed SNHG5 was closely related to Wnt/CTNNB1 signaling pathway. Knockdown of SNHG5 inactivated Wnt/CTNNB1 signaling pathway, and the activating of Wnt/CTNNB1 signaling pathway partly restored the influences of SNHG5 knockdown on malignant cellular phenotypes of U251 and U87 cells.

Conclusion: SNHG5 gene was high-expressed in glioma, knockdown of SNHG5 inhibits malignant cellular phenotypes of glioma via Wnt/CTNNB1 signaling pathway.

Keywords: Long non-coding RNA, glioma, Wnt/CTNNB1 signaling pathway, Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene 5, malignant cellular phenotypes
