Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common malignancy of the bile duct and patients with GBC have extremely poor prognoses. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are found to be dysregulated in a variety of cancers, including GBC. SPRY4-IT1 has been recently revealed as oncogenic regulator in many cancers. However, whether SPRY4-IT1 is involved in GBC progression remains largely unknown. To investigate the role of SPRY4-IT1 in GBC, we evaluated the expression SPRY4-IT1 in GBC tissues and cell lines, and investigated the effect of SPRY4-IT1 knockdown on cell proliferation, migration and invasion of GBC in vitro. Our result showed that SPRY4-IT1 was upregulated in GBC tissues. Further experiments revealed that SPRY4-IT1 knockdown significantly inhibited GBC cell proliferation. Furthermore, inhibitory effects of SPRY4-IT1 on cell migration and invasion were partly associated with EMT process. In conclusion, these data suggest that SPRY4-IT1 could be an oncogene for GBC, and may be served as a candidate target for new therapies in human GBC.
