Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of long non‑coding (lnc)RNA prostate cancer associated transcript (PCAT)19 on the progression of non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It was determined that PCAT19 expression was upregulated in NSCLC tissues and also predicted poor patient survival rate. Additionally, p53 expression was downregulated in NSCLC specimens, which was negatively correlated with PCAT19 expression. Moreover, in H1993 NSCLC cells, silencing of the PCAT19 gene led to an increase in the expression of p53, whilst conversely, its overexpression led to p53 downregulation. PCAT19 silencing was associated with the decreased proliferation rate of NSCLC cells, while PCAT19 overexpression led to increased proliferation. In addition, p53 overexpression, achieved through the transfection of a p53 expression vector, attenuated the effects of PCAT19 overexpression on cell proliferation. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that PCAT19 negatively regulates the p53 tumor‑suppression pathway, promoting cancer cell proliferation in patients with NSCLC.
