Abstract
AbstractAlthough dexamethasone (DEX) remains a first‐line agent for multiple myeloma (MM) therapy, the development of DEX resistance has become an indicator of poor prognosis in MM patients. It is thus urgent to develop strategies to restore the vulnerability of MM to DEX. This study demonstrated long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) was highly expressed in DEX‐resistant myeloma cell lines, and upregulation of NEAT1 was tightly linked to poor prognosis. The in‐depth study revealed that during the development of DEX resistance in these cells, the miR‐193a levels were decreased, which resulted in the increased expression of the target gene myeloid cell leukemia‐1 (MCL1). We also found knockdown of NEAT1, the DEX‐induced sensitivity was enhanced in the resistant cells. Meanwhile, overexpression of NEAT1 increased the DEX‐induced resistance in the sensitive cells. In conclusion, the NEAT1/miR‐193a/MCL1 pathway is closely associated with the development of DEX resistance in myeloma cells, and knockdown of NEAT1 can significantly improve DEX sensitivity in MM.
