  • Abstract:Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a common mesenchymal tumor in the gastrointestinal tract. Prostate cancer associated transcript 6 (PCAT6) is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and plays a pivotal role in tumor formation. Present study was designed to explore the function of PCAT6 in GIST. Ki67 staining, colony formation and trypan blue staining assays revealed that PCAT6 boosted GIST cell proliferation but inhibited cell apoptosis. Also, sphere formation assay and Western blot uncovered the promoting role of PCAT6 in GIST stemness. Then, we identified that PCAT6 could activate Wnt/β-catenin pathway. And the tumor facilitator role of Wnt/β-catenin pathway was validated in the rescue assays. Next, miR-143-3p was identified as the downstream microRNA of PCAT6. Moreover, miR-143-3p itself served as a tumor suppressor in GIST. Subsequently, peroxiredoxin 5 (PRDX5) was verified as the target of miR-143-3p. PCAT6 promoted GIST cell proliferation and stemness via sponging miR-143-3p to upregulate PRDX5. In a word, PCAT6 promoted GIST cell proliferation and stemness but inhibited cell apoptosis via competing endogenous RNA pattern and activation of Wnt pathway, which might contribute to GIST treatment.
