Downregulation of the long noncoding RNA SNHG1 inhibits tumor cell migration and invasion by sponging miR‐195 through targeting Cdc42 in oesophageal cancer

Despite the poor prognosis of oesophageal cancer (EC), the molecular mechanisms of EC are still unclear. In recent years, role of lncRNA in cancer development attracted much attention. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the long noncoding RNA SNHG1 on the migration and invasion of EC cells and the possible mechanisms involved. The effects of SNHG1 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were determined and its relationship with miR‐195/Cdc42 axis was investigated. It was found SNHG1 and Cdc42 were significantly upregulated, and miR‐195 was significantly downregulated in both EC tissues and cell lines. In addition, the inhibition of either SNHG1 or Cdc42 resulted in suppression of cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while inhibition of miR‐195 led to opposite results and reversed the effects of si‐SNHG1. We also observed that higher SNHG1 predicted poorer prognosis of EC patients. In summary, inhibition of SNHG1 can suppress the cell migration and invasion of EC cells by sponging miR‐195 through targeting Cdc42. This study might provide deeper insights into the SNHG1/miR‐195/Cdc42 axis in EC.
