LINC00152 sponges miR-185-5p, whose overexpression reduces PC cell glycolysis. A, LINC00152 principal localization at cytoplasm predicted by website (http://lncatlas.crg.eu/). B, LINC00152 subcellular localization in PANC-1 and Capan-1 certified by FISH, 400×, scale bar: 25 µm. C, the binding relation between LINC00152 and miR-185-5p predicted by RNA22 website. D, The target relation of LINC00152 and miR-185-5p confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. E, The target relation of LINC00152 and miR-185-5p detected by RIP. F, miR-185-5p expression in human normal pancreatic ductal cells and PC cells determined by qRT-PCR. G, miR-185-5p expression in PANC-1 transfected with mimic NC or miR-185-5p mimic examined through qRT-PCR. H, I and J, Glucose consumption (H), lactic acid production (I) and ATP level (J) in PC cells with mimic NC and miR-185-5p mimic. K, Levels of glycolysis-related enzymes detected by western blot analysis. In panels B/D-K, n=3. The n specifies the replicate. The results were exhibited as mean ± standard deviation. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data in panels D, E, F and K. Tukey's multiple comparisons test was applied for the post hoc test. Independent t-test was used to analyze data in G, H, I and J. * p<0.05.
