Objective To explore the expression of long non-coding RNA of colon cancer associated transcript 1(LncRNA-CCAT1)in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)tissues and cell lines, as well as its clinical significance. Methods CCAT1 expression in 42 pairs of HCC tissues and paired adjacent normal tissues as well as 4 types of HCC cell lines(SMMC-7721,Hep3B,Hub7 and HepG2)and normal hepatic cell line LO2 were tested by QPCR. The relationship between the expression of CCAT1 and common clinical pathological parameters(gender,age,alpha-fetoprotein,tumor size,tumor number,lymph node metastasis,differentiation and TNM stage)were analyzed accordingly. Results Compared with normal hepatic cell line LO2,there was a high expression of CCAT1 in SMMC-7721, Hep3B, Hub7 and HepG2 cell lines with significant difference(P<0.05), especially in HepG2 cell line. The expression of CCAT1 in HCC tissue was higher than that in the adjacent tissues,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The expression of CCAT1 in HCC was related with tumor size,alpha fetoprotein,differentiation,TNM stage and lymph node metastasis(P<0.05), but not with age, gender and tumor number(P>0.05). Conclusion LncRNA CCAT1 has a role in the occurence,development and prognosis of HCC,worthy of further research on its mechanism.
