Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to detect the expression of lncRNA PSMA3-AS1 in glioma tissues and cell lines(U251、LN229、T98G and A172)and its effect on glioma cells.Methods Quantitative qRT-PCR method was used to evaluate the expression of PSMA3-AS1 in 35 glioma tissues;Combined with TCGA databases,the correlation between PSMA3-AS1 expression and the degree of malignancy and the prognosis of glioma patients was analyzed;Cell proliferation and invasion were explored in U251 and T98G glioma cells;The effects of PSMA3-AS1 on invasion related proteins MMP-2/9 in glioma cells were detected by Western blot assay.Results TCGA database indicated that PSMA3-AS1 was increased in glioma tissues,and the expression of PSMA3-AS1 in 35 paired glioma tissues and glioma cells was significantly increased than in adjacent normal brain tissues(P<0.05).The expression of PSMA3-AS1 was correlated with tumor mean diameter(P=0.007),and high PSMA3-AS1 exhibited poorer overall survival in glioma patients(P=0.042).After knockdown the level of PSMA3-AS1,the proliferation and invasion abilities of glioma cells were significantly inhibited and the expression of MMP-2/MMP9 were decreased in glioma cells(P<0.05).Conclusion The level of PSMA3-AS1 is significantly higher in glioma tissues with a role of promoting cancer in glioma and may be a potential therapeutic target.
