Long non-coding RNA GAS5 sensitizes renal cell carcinoma to sorafenib via miR-21/SOX5 pathway

Although the use of sorafenib appears to increase the survival rate of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients, there is also a proportion of patients who exhibit a poor primary response to sorafenib treatment. Therefore, it is critical to elucidate the mechanisms underlying sorafenib resistance and find representative biomarkers for sorafenib treatment in RCC patients. Herein, we identified that a long noncoding RNA GAS5 was downregulated in sorafenib nonresponsive RCCs. GAS5 overexpression conferred sorafenib sensitive to nonresponsive RCC cells, whereas knockdown of GAS5 promoted responsive RCC cells resistant to sorafenib treatment in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, GAS5 functioned as competing endogenous RNA to repress miR-21, which controlled its down-stream target SOX5. We proposed that GAS5 was responsible for sorafenib resistance in RCC cells and GAS5 exerted its function through the miR-21/ SOX5 axis. Our findings suggested that GAS5 downregulation may be a new marker of poor response to sorafenib and GAS5 could be a potential therapeutic target for sorafenib treatment in RCC.
