Abstract

Background/aims: Plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) exerts an oncogenic role in many tumors, including lung cancer. However, the roles of PVT1 in regulating radiosensitivity of NSCLC and its underlying mechanism are still unclear.

Methods: Expression levels of PVT1 and miR-195 in NSCLC tissues and cells were examined by qRT-PCR. Effects of PVT1 and miR-195 on cell proliferation, apoptosis and colony formation abilities were assessed by MTT assay, flow cytometry and colony formation assay. Luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the relationship between PVT1 and miR-195. Tumor xenograft experiments were conducted to observe the effect of PVT1 on radiosensitivity of NSCLC in vivo.

Results: PVT1 was negatively correlated with miR-195 expression in NSCLC tissues and associated with poor prognosis of NSCLC patients. Expression of PVT1 and miR-195 varied inversely after irradiation in NSCLC cells. PVT1 knockdown or miR-195 overexpression enhanced radiosensitivity of NSCLC in vitro by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. PVT1 directly interacted with miR-195 and regulated its expression. Moreover, PVT1 knockdown improved radiosensitivity of NSCLC cells in vitro and in vivo by sponging miR-195.

Conclusion: Knockdown of PVT1 enhances radiosensitivity of NSCLC by sponging miR-195, providing a novel therapeutic target to improve radiotherapy efficiency in NSCLC.
