BACKGROUND: Oct4, a key stemness transcription factor, is overexpressed in lung
cancer. Here, we reveal a novel transcription regulation of long non-coding RNAs
(lncRNAs) by Oct4. LncRNAs have emerged as important players in cancer
progression. METHODS: Oct4 chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-sequencing and
several lncRNA databases with literature annotation were integrated to identify
Oct4-regulated lncRNAs. Luciferase activity, qRT-PCR and ChIP-PCR assays were
conducted to examine transcription regulation of lncRNAs by Oct4. Reconstitution
experiments of Oct4 and downstream lncRNAs in cell proliferation, migration and
invasion assays were performed to confirm the Oct4-lncRNAs signaling axes in
promoting lung cancer cell growth and motility. The expression correlations
between Oct4 and lncRNAs were investigated in 124 lung cancer patients using
qRT-PCR analysis. The clinical significance of Oct4/lncRNAs signaling axes were
further evaluated using multivariate Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analyses.
RESULTS: We confirmed that seven lncRNAs were upregulated by direct binding of
Oct4. Among them, nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1),
metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) and urothelial
carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) were validated as Oct4 transcriptional targets
through promoter or enhancer activation. We showed that lung cancer cells
overexpressing NEAT1 or MALAT1 and the Oct4-silenced cells reconstituted with
NEAT1 or MALAT1 promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In addition,
knockdown of NEAT1 or MALAT1 abolished Oct4-mediated lung cancer cell growth and
motility. These cell-based results suggested that Oct4/NEAT1 or Oct4/MALAT1 axis
promoted oncogenesis. Clinically, Oct4/NEAT1/MALAT1 co-overexpression was an
independent factor for prediction of poor outcome in 124 lung cancer patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study reveals a novel mechanism by which Oct4 transcriptionally
activates NEAT1 via promoter and MALAT1 via enhancer binding to promote cell
proliferation and motility, and led to lung tumorigenesis and poor prognosis.
