Abstract
Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common and deadliest malignant primary brain tumor with a high recurrence. In this study, lncRNA UCA1/miR-182 axis has been regarded as a nodal driver of glioma invasion mediated by GB-associated stromal cells (GASCs) and GASC-secreted chemokine CXCL14. In clinical specimens, CXCL14 upregulation in GASCs also correlated with poor prognosis. Notably, CXCL14-high GASCs mediated lncRNA UCA1 upregulation and miR-182 downregulation in glioma cells. Moreover, miR-182 directly bound to the fructose-2,6-biphosphatase PFKFB2; UCA1/miR-182 axis thereby modulated GASC-induced glycolysis in glioma cells. Overall, UCA1/miR-182/PFKFB2 axis modulates chemokine CXCL14 secretion, glycolysis and invasion of glioma cells in GASCs.
