Objective  To investigate the molecular mechanisms by which the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MIR223HG affects the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Methods DNA damaging agent Zeocin was used to treat human embryo lung cell (MRC-5) and lung cancer cell (A549 and H1299), and the expression of MIR223HG was tested by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. Moreover, the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein and ATM pathway downstream factor Cell cycle checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2), p53 tumor suppressor protein (p53) in the lung cancer cell (A549 and H1299) with Zeocin were also tested by qRT-PCR. Cell transfection and Transwell migration assay, colony formation assays, apoptosis assays were performed to verify the role of ATM in the expression of MIR223HG in lung adenocarcinoma. Results The expression of MIR223HG was reduced markedly in the lung cancer cells (A549 and H1299) compared with human embryo lung cell (MRC-5) after treated with Zeocin. ATM protein and its downstream factors Chk2, p53 involved in the process, and ATM regulated the expression of MIR223HG in the lung cancer cells with Zeocin. Futhermore, ATM joined in the processes that MIR223HG regulated the lung cancer cells proliferation, migration and apoptosis. Conclusions  The expression of MIR223HG is related to the DNA damage response in the lung cancer, and MIR223HG regulates lung cancer cells proliferation, migration and apoptosis by ATM/Chk2/p53 pathway. MIR223HG may be a potential therapeutic target for lung adenocarcinoma treatment.
