Abstract

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ACTA2-AS1 has been reported to play an important role in the progression of multiple human malignancies. The article aims to explore the role of ACTA2-AS1 on the cisplatin resistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). RT-qPCR was performed to investigate the expression of ACTA2-AS1 in cisplatin-resistant NSCLC cell lines. Western blot was used to investigate the effects of ACTA2-AS1 on autophagy-related protein expression. RIP assay and RNA pull down were used to analyze the combination of ACTA2-AS1 and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), and CHIP was used to analyze the combination of tuberous sclerosis complex-2 (TSC2) gene promoter and Lys-27 of histone H3 (H3K27me3). In this study, ACTA2-AS1 was downregulated in cisplatin-resistant NSCLC cell lines. ACTA2-AS1 negatively regulated the cell viability and positively regulated the cell apoptosis of cisplatin-resistant NSCLC cell lines. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that ACTA2-AS1 promoted cisplatin-resistant NSCLC cells apoptosis through inhibiting autophagy. The regulation of ACTA2-AS1 to the cisplatin-resistant NSCLC cell autophagy was reversed by TSC2 increasing. Importantly, our results displayed that ACTA2-AS1 bound with EZH2, and TSC2 gene promoter combined with H3k27me3. The inhibition of ACTA2-AS1 to TSC2 expression was recused by EZH2 silencing. In conclusion, ACTA2-AS1 inhibited the cisplatin resistances of NSCLC cell lines through suppressing TSC2 expressing by recruiting EZH2 to TSC2 gene promoter.
