Characteristics
UCA1 is three exon long noncoding RNA that is located on human chromosome 19p13.12. UCA1 is spliced and polyadenylated [1]. Multiple isoforms of UCA1 exist (1.4kb, 2.2kb and 2.7kb). The 2.2kb isoform contains an extended final exon compared to the 1.4kb isoform while the 2.7kb isoform has not been characterised [2][1]. Sequence is mainly repeat elements. Initiates in an LTR, exons sample pieces of a HERV-H element and longer 2.2kb isoform contains a second LTR at the 3' end [1].
Function
Functions of 1.4kb and 2.2kb isoforms have been investigated, both appear to promote and enhance tumourigenesis [2][3]. Over-expression of 1.4kb isoform enhanced tumorigenic behavior of bladder cancer cells in-vitro and in-vivo. Increased drug resistance and cell motility [2]. Overexpression of 2.2kb isoform caused resistance to drug induced apoptosis, potentially by downregulation of caspase 3 levels [3]. 2.2kb isoform promoted transformation in-vitro, possibly because resistance to apoptosis is an important step in tumourigenesis [3].
UCA1 modulate MDR1 by a model system of leukemia cell lines with a gradual increase of MDR1 expression and IM resistance. UCA1 competes with 3' UTR of MDR1 mRNA for common miR-16 to regulate MDR1 expression. Overexpression of UCA1 increased MDR1 expression to promote Imatinib (IM) resistance of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells [4].
Enhanced expression of UCA1 is involved in cancer metastasis tongue squamous cell carcinoma [5].
UCA1 improve the cell migration, invasion and induce cisplatin resistance [6].
overexpression of UCA1 promotes osteosarcoma initiation and progression [7].
UCA1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression through inhibition of miR-216b by FGFR1/ERK signaling pathway [8].
Expression
Widely expressed in embryonic development and placenta [2][1]. Low or no expression in normal adult tissue but highly upregulated in cell lines resistant to drug induced apoptotic cell death and bladder, colon and lung cancer [2][1], [3].
UCA1 is upregulated in tongue squamous cell carcinomas and renal cell carcinoma [9][10].
Elevated expression of UCA1 is found in ovarian cancer tissues [6].
UCA1 is overexpressed in osteosarcoma [7].
High expressed in gastric cancer[11].
