Abstract

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) modulates gene expression, while lncRNA dysregulation is associated with human cancer. Furthermore, while recent studies have shown that lncRNA IRAIN plays an important role in other malignancies, the role of IRAIN in pancreatic cancer (PC) progression remains unclear. In this study, we found that upregulation of lncRNA IRAIN was significantly correlated with tumor size, TNM stage, and lymph node metastasis in a cohort of 37 PC patients. In vitro experiments showed that knockdown of IRAIN by small interfering RNA (siRNA) significantly induced cell apoptosis and inhibited cell proliferation in both BxPC-3 and PANC-1 cells. Further mechanism study showed that, by binding to histone demethylase lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), an enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), IRAIN reduced PC tumor cell apoptosis and induced growth arrest by silencing the expression of Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) and P15. Moreover, IRAIN expression was inversely correlated with that of KLF2 and P15 in PC tissues. To our knowledge, this is the first report elucidating the role and mechanism of IRAIN in PC progression.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 September 2016.
All research outputs
#18,472,072
of 22,889,074 outputs
Outputs from Tumor Biology
#1,370
of 2,623 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#243,428
of 320,547 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tumor Biology
#45
of 84 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,889,074 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,623 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,547 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 84 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
