Highly expressed LncRNA LINC01783 is observed in cervical cancer. However, the specific pathogenesis of cervical cancer is still unclear.Methods: Differential lncRNAs in cervical cancer were identified based on TCGA dataset. Subsequently, qRT-PCR was utilized for testing the LINC01783 expression in cervical cancer cell lines and normal human cervical epithelial cell line HcerEpic. CCK-8, EdU, Wound healing assay, Transwell assay and flow cytometry were used for detecting proliferative and migratory potential, cell cycle and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells, respectively. To identify the potential target of LINC01783, bioinformatics assay and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay were performed. Moreover, to clarify their interactions and roles in regulating the progression of cervical cancer, Western blot assay and RIP assay were carried out.Results: Our results revealed LINC01783 is overexpressed in cervical cancer cells. Overexpressed LINC01783 considerably accelerated the cell proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells while restrained cell apoptosis of them. Moreover, LINC01783 positively regulated the GBP1 expression via competitively binding to miR-199b-5p.Conclusion: LINC01783 is involved in the progression of cervical cancer through competitively binding to miR-199b-5p to mediate GBP1 expression.Keywords: cervical cancer, LncRNA, ceRNA, proliferation, migration, invasion
