Abstract: PURPOSE: To explore the expression of CASC15 and its mechanism in the development of ameloblastoma. METHODS: Second-generation high-throughput full-transcription sequencing data of 8 pairs of ameloblastoma and adjacent normal tissues were analyzed to screen out the target lncRNA CASC15. The co-expression mRNA with significant difference from CASC15 was screened by using DEseq2 algorithm. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and signal pathway analysis were performed by comparing with the gene annotations in the GO database and KEGG database. The expression of CASC15 in ameloblastoma was detected by qRT-PCR. The data were analyzed with GraphPad Prism 8 software package. RESULTS: A total of 172 differentially expressed CASC15-related mRNA were screened out. GO analysis showed that the differentially co-expressed CASC15 mRNA was mainly involved in cell proliferation regulation, cell signal transduction, cell migration, angiogenesis and other biological behaviors. Pathway analysis showed that the co-expressed mRNA of CASC15 was mainly involved in pathway in cancer, Hedgehog, p53 as well as cancer-related signal pathway in osteocyte differentiation, cell cycle and so on. Five high core genes such as FGF18, EPCAM, PTCH1, SHH and GLI1, which were closely related to CASC15, screened by co-expression network analysis, which can be used to explore the mechanism of recurrence and invasion of ameloblastoma. qRT-PCR results showed that CASC15 was highly expressed in ameloblastoma, which was 11.41 times higher than that in adjacent normal tissues (P<0.0001), and 11.72 times higher than that in dental follicle tissues (P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: CASC15 is highly expressed in ameloblastoma, which may participate in the occurrence and development of ameloblastoma by regulating cell proliferation, cell migration and cell cycle.
