Objective: The research paid close attention to the function of lncRNA-related endogenous competitive RNAs (ceRNAs) network in endometrial cancer (EC).
Methods: 45 primary endometrial cancer tissues (EC) and 45 normal endometrium (NE) were included in the research. The online software StarbaseV2.0 was made use of forecasting the lncRNA which most likely contained microRNA-200c-3p combining sites and could interact with microRNA-200c-3p. Subsequently, we chose lncRNAs which were consistent with the characteristics of polyadenylation of lncRNAs and lower expression in EC than that of NE. After that, lncRNAs, which were related with the microRNA-200c-3p-noxa network, were identified.
Results: Rp11-379k17.4, a new gene related to endometrial cancer, was identified as noncoding RNA. It was a more effective ceRNA associated with the microRNA-200c-3p-noxa network.
Conclusion: LncRNAs possess microRNA response elements (MREs) and give scope to significant roles in the post-transcriptional mechanism in EC.
