Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been widely reported to regulate the development and chemoresistance of a variety of tumors. Temozolomide (TMZ) is a first-line chemotherapy for treatment of glioma. However, the effect and the regulatory mechanism of lncRNA MSC-AS1 (MSC-AS1) in TMZ-resistant glioma remain unrevealed. Levels of MSC-AS1, microRNA-373-3p (miR-373-3p), and cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 4 (CPEB4) were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). All protein expression was detected by western blot. Cell viability and the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) value of TMZ was assessed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Cell cloning ability and apoptosis were examined by colony formation and flow cytometry assays, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were performed to verify the correlation between miR-373-3p and MSC-AS1 or CPEB4. The xenograft models were established to determine the effect of MSC-AS1 in vivo. MSC-AS1 was up-regulated in TMZ-resistant glioma tissues and cells, and glioma patients with high MSC-AS1 expression tend to have lower overall survival rate. MSC-AS1 suppression reduced the IC 50 value of TMZ and proliferation, promoted apoptosis and TMZ sensitivity, and affected PI3K/Akt pathway in TMZ-resistant glioma cells. MSC-AS1 acted as miR-373-3p sponge, and miR-373-3p directly targeted CPEB4. Silencing miR-373-3p reversed the promoting effect of MSC-AS1 or CPEB4 knockdown on TMZ sensitivity. Furthermore, MSC-AS1 knockdown inhibited TMZ-resistant glioma growth in vivo by regulating miR-373-3p/CPEB4 axis through PI3K/Akt pathway. Collectively, MSC-AS1 knockdown suppressed cell growth and the chemoresistance of glioma cells to TMZ by regulating miR-373-3p/CPEB4 axis in vitro and in vivo through activating PI3K/Akt pathway.
