摘要

Background

HNRNPC is an RNA-binding protein that is overexpressed in a variety of cancers and is well known as an m6A “reader”, but its specific function and molecular mechanism in NSCLC have not been fully understood. This study aimed to discuss molecular mechanism of HNRNPC in NSCLC.

Methods

HNRNPC expression and clinically relevant data in pan-cancer and LUAD were extracted through these websites, including UALCAN, TIMER2 and GEPIA. The target gene of HNRNPC were identified through RIP-seq, meRIP-qPCR and mRNA stability test. The differential expression of target gene in NSCLC was explored by immunohistochemistry. Lentivirus was selected to knock down HNRNPC and plasmid was selected to overexpress downstream target genes. The transfection efficiency was verified by RT-qPCR and Western Blot. In vitro colony formation assay, CCK-8, wound healing, transwell assays were performed to determine the biological functions of HNRNPC and target gene in lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Results

HNRNPC can promotes the expression of TFAP2A by recognizing the m6A modification of TFAP2A mRNA and maintaining its stability, activates the TFAP2A/CTNNB1 axis, enhances EMT, and ultimately promotes the malignant process of NSCLC and promote distant metastasis of NSCLC.

Conclusions

These results supported that HNRNPC regulate TFAP2A to promote the malignant progression and EMT of NSCLC. These findings connect m6A modification with EMT, providing a new perspective on the regulation of m6A modification in tumors.
