Description:

CCAT2 (Colon cancer-associated transcript-2) lncRNA, has been reported to be over-expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and is found to promote tumor growth. CCAT2 is enriched in the nucleus and can act as a negative regulator of miRNA-145 biogenesis via blocking cleavage of pre-miR-145 by Dicer in vitro. Modulated expression of CCAT2 regulates the expression of miR-145 in colon cancer HCT-116 and HT-29 cells. Knockout of CCAT2 increases miR-145 and negatively regulates miR-21 in HCT-116 cells, impairs proliferation and differentiation. In contrast, stable up-regulation of CCAT2 decreases mature miR-145 and increases the expression of several CSC markers in colon cancer cells.
