Glioma is the most common malignant tumor in the central nervous system. Altered long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are playing regulatory roles in physiological and pathogenic processes in cancer. Here, we uncovered a differentially expressed lncRNA called brain cytoplasmic RNA 1 (BCYRN1), and elucidated its function and molecular mechanism in the progression and development of glioma. Three fresh tumor tissues from glioma patients and three normal brain tissues from craniocerebral trauma patients were prepared for high-throughput RNA sequencing. Differential RNA transcripts and BCYRN1 were identified by RT-qPCR in glioma samples and controls. CCK-8, colony formation assays, flow cytometry, TUNEL assays, cell migration assays, wound-healing assays, and xenograft model were established to investigate the biological function of BCYRN1 both in vitro and in vivo. Various bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assays, biotinylated RNA pulldown assays, and rescue experiments were conducted to reveal the underlying mechanisms of competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). 183 lncRNAs were identified with significant dysregulation in glioma and randomly selected differential RNAs were further confirmed by RT-qPCR. Among them, BCYRN1 was the most downregulated lncRNA, and its low expression positively correlated with glioma progression. Functionally, BCYRN1 overexpression inhibited cell proliferation, migration in glioma cell lines, whereas BCYRN1 depletion resulted in the opposite way. MiR-619-5p was further confirmed as the direct target of BCYRN1. Mechanistically, miR-619-5p specifically targeted the CUE domain containing protein 2 (CUEDC2), and BCYRN1/miR-619-5p suppressed glioma tumorigenesis by inactivating PTEN/AKT/p21 pathway in a CUEDC2-dependent manner. Overall, our data presented that the reduced expression of BCYRN1 was associated with poor patient outcome in glioma. BCYRN1 functioned as a ceRNA to inhibit glioma progression by sponging miR-619-5p to regulate CUEDC2 expression and PTEN/AKT/p21 pathway. Our results indicated that BCYRN1 exerted tumor suppressor potential and might be a candidate in the diagnosis and treatment of glioma.
