Abstract

PIWI-associated RNAs (piRNAs or piRs), a new-found class of small non-coding RNAs, which are mainly expressed in germline cells and partly in somatic lines, have a vital role in carcinogenesis by maintaining genomic integrity and regulation of epigenetics. The previous studies have confirmed that the expression of piR‑651 is upregulated in several cancer tissue and cell lines, including lung cancer. However, the mechanism of carcinogenesis and piR‑651 remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the present study assessed the 95‑D high metastasis human lung cancer cell line to detect the effect of piR‑651 on carcinogenesis. Firstly, piR‑651 promoted the high metastasis characteristic of the 95‑D cell lines by Transwell and wound‑healing assays. The influence of piR‑651 on tumor cell proliferation and apoptosis was detected by the MTT assay and flow cytometry. In conclusion, piR-651 may be an oncogene in lung cancer formation and development. Therefore, piR-651 regulated carcinogenesis by influencing cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion, and may be a potential tumor marker and therapeutic target.
