摘要
Abstract Cutaneous malignant melanoma is one of the most lethal cutaneous malignancies. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated the potential influence of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in biological behaviors of melanoma. Herein, we reported a novel lncRNA, lnc-PKNOX1-1 and systematically studied its functions and possible molecular mechanisms in melanoma. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR assay showed that lnc-PKNOX1-1 was significantly decreased in melanoma cells and tissues. Low lnc-PKNOX1-1 expression was significantly correlated with invasive pathological type and Breslow thickness of melanoma. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed lnc-PKNOX1-1 dramatically inhibited melanoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Mechanically, protein microarray analysis suggested that interleukin-8 (IL-8) was negatively regulated by lnc-PKNOX1-1 in melanoma, which was confirmed by western blot and ELISA. Western blot analysis also showed that lnc-PKNOX1-1 could promote p65 phosphorylation at Ser536 in melanoma. Subsequent rescue assays proved IL-8 overexpression could partly reverse the tumor-suppressing function of lnc-PKNOX1-1 overexpression in melanoma cells, indicating that lnc-PKNOX1-1 suppressed the development of melanoma by regulating IL-8. Taken together, our study demonstrated the tumor-suppressing ability of lnc-PKNOX1-1 in melanoma, suggesting its potential as a novel diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for melanoma.
