C2orf48 promotes the progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by regulating high mobility group AT-hook 2

Abstract Recurrence and metastasis are the major factors affecting the survival of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and the mechanism remains unclear. Long non-coding RNA chromosome 2 open reading frame 48 (C2orf48) has been shown to influence the prognosis of many cancers. However, C2orf48’s function in NPC has not been clarified. In this investigation, C2orf48 expression in NPC was measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) at the cellular and tissue levels, and the association between C2orf48 expression and the prognosis of patients with NPC was examined. Additionally, the effects of C2orf48 and high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) upon NPC proliferation, migration, and invasion were examined employing the MTT assay, colony formation assay, and transwell assay, respectively. Furthermore, the association between C2orf48 and HMGA2 in NPC was investigated. Our research demonstrated that C2orf48 was overexpressed in NPC tissues and cell lines, and compared to patients with lower levels of C2orf48 expression, those with higher levels had poorer 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival. Functionally, C2orf48 overexpression accelerated NPC cells proliferation, migration, and invasion. Besides, the tandem mass tag (TMT) quantitative proteomic analysis indicated that HMGA2 may be a target of C2orf48. Moreover, upregulation of C2orf48 could increase HMGA2 expression, and HMGA2 silencing could counteract the proliferation, migration, and invasion changes induced by C2orf48 in NPC cells. These results reveal that overexpression of C2orf48 can promote NPC cells proliferation, migration, and invasion via regulating the expression of HMGA2 and C2orf48 may be a potentially important prognostic marker for NPC..
