unassigned: As the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, cervical cancer lead to 311,000 deaths in 2018. Although the treatments have been developed, the survival rate of cervical cancer remains unsatisfactory. In this study, we aimed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs (DEIncRNAs) between cervical cancer and adjacent normal tissues using bioinformatics analysis, and further to investigate the biological function of the DEIncRNAs in vitro and in vivo.
unassigned: The expression profiles from two microarray datasets (GSE6791 and GSE63514) were downloaded from GEO for analysis of DEIncRNAs between cervical cancer and adjacent normal cervical tissues. Among all DEIncRNAs, MIR155HG upregulation ... More
unassigned: As the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, cervical cancer lead to 311,000 deaths in 2018.

In this study, we aimed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs (DEIncRNAs) between cervical cancer and adjacent normal tissues using bioinformatics analysis, and further to investigate the biological function of the DEIncRNAs in vitro and in vivo.
unassigned: The expression profiles from two microarray datasets (GSE6791 and GSE63514) were downloaded from GEO for analysis of DEIncRNAs between cervical cancer and adjacent normal cervical tissues. Among all DEIncRNAs, MIR155HG upregulation was identified and selected for further investigation. The effect of MIR155HG knockdown on proliferation, apoptosis and invasion in SiHa and Hela cells were evaluated. In addition, Western blot, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and cell cycle assays were performed to determine the binding target of MIR155HG. Furthermore, the effect of MIR155HG knockdown on tumor growth in vivo was investigated.
unassigned: The level of MIR155HG was found to be significantly upregulated in cervical cancer tissue compared with adjacent cervical tissue. Knockdown of MIR155HG notably inhibited the proliferation of SiHa and Hela cells by inducing apoptosis. In addition, MIR155HG knockdown decreased cell invasion. Moreover, tumor growth in xenograft was significantly inhibited by MIR155HG knockdown in vivo. Additionally, SRSF1 was identified as the binding protein of MIR155HG.
unassigned: Our findings demonstrated that MIR155HG knockdown inhibited the progression of cervical cancer by binding SRSF1, inspiring the usage of MIR155HG as a potential novel therapy target for the treatment of cervical cancer.
