BACKGROUND: Strong evidence indicated that high expression of HBXIP (also known as LAMTOR5) promotes cancer cells proliferation and helps cancer progression. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) have also a crucial role in developing cancer. In this study, we aimed to determine the expression of LAMTOR5 and its nearby lncRNA, LAMTOR5-AS1 and investigate their potential as a biomarker in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. METHODS: 75 tissues of colorectal tumors and non-tumor adjacent normal sampled in this study. After RNA procedure then RT-qPCR was applied for expression analysis. Moreover, in silico investigation also enrolled for predicting sponging effect of lncRNA with miRNAs. RESULTS: LAMTOR5 transcription level significantly overexpressed (p value < 0.001) and has shown a diagnostic potential (AUC = 0.8) in CRC. LAMTOR5-AS1 did not indicate any remarkable expression change overall, but showed a significant overexpressed in elderly patients (> 60) with CRC (p value < 0.0097). Moreover, the correlation analysis between LAMTOR5 and LAMTOR5-AS1 revealed a significant association in CRC (p value = 0.0074) which can be partly explained by its predicting act as a mediator with sponging effect on hsa-miR-let-7b-3p and hsa-miR-20a-5p. CONCLUSION: LAMTOR5 gene can be considered as prognostic biomarker for CRC. LAMTOR5-AS5 which is a nearby lncRNA of this gene could play a regulatory impact through its sponging effect on hsa-miR-let-7b-3p and hsa-miR-20a-5p which both have shown a significant impact on overall survival rate in CRC patients in high expression levels.
