• BACKGROUNDLncRNA-LYPLAL1-2 (lysophospholipase-like 1-2) is expressed at a very low level in gliomas, which are some of the most aggressive tumors. However, the function and mechanism of LYPLAL1-2 are not clear. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of LYPLAL1-2 in glioma. METHODSReverse transcription and quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to quantify the levels of lncRNA-LYPLAL1-2, miR-127, and tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein gamma (YWHAG) in glioma tumor tissue and cells. Transwell assays were used to determine the migratory capacity and invasiveness of glioma cells. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to identify the metastatic capacity of glioma cells transfected with lncRNA-LYPLAL1-2 in vivo. Western blot analysis was used to identify the levels of YWHAG and related proteins. Luciferase reporter assay was used to identify whether miR-217 is the direct target of lncRNA-LYPLAL1-2. RESULTSLncRNA-LYPLAL1-2 was significantly downregulated in glioma tumor tissue. LncRNA-LYPLAL1-2 overexpression suppressed migration and invasion in vitro and in vivo. LncRNA-LYPLAL1-2 acted as a sponge molecule and targeted miR-217 in glioma cells. YWHAG was identified as the target gene of miR-217 and was indirectly regulated by lncRNA-LYPLAL1-2. CONCLUSIONSLncRNA-LYPLAL1-2 suppressed glioma metastasis via the miR-217/YWHAG axis and is expected to be a potential target for early diagnosis and treatment of gliomas.
