Retinoblastoma is the most common type of intraocular pediatric malignant tumor, which typically affects children <6 years of age. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of retinoblastoma progression remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in retinoblastoma clinical samples and cell lines, using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, colony formation, MTT, fluorescence activated cell sorting, cell invasion and migration, and growth assays. The results demonstrated that may serve a critical oncogenic function in the progression of retinoblastoma, as lncRNA levels were markedly increased in retinoblastoma cells and tissues compared with corresponding controls. In addition, patients with retinoblastoma with increased lncRNA expression experienced poorer survival time compared with those with decreased lncRNA levels. Knockdown of lncRNA significantly suppressed retinoblastoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion and . Furthermore, lncRNA expression was also associated with multiple proteins, including cyclin-dependent kinase 1, B-cell lymphoma-associated X protein, apoptosis regulator, tumor protein p53, vimentin, cadherin 13 and matrix metallopeptidase 9. In conclusion, lncRNA may serve an important function in tumorigenesis and may be a potential target for therapy and prognosis in retinoblastoma.
