Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a high aggressive human cancer which usually diagnosed at advanced stages. Accumulating evidences indicate that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial participants in LUAD progression. In the present study, we found that lncRNA LINC00968 was significantly down-regulated in LUAD tissues and cell lines. LINC00968 level was positively correlated to survival rate, and negatively correlated to tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, tumor size and lymph node metastasis of LUAD patients. We over-expressed LINC00968 in LUAD cells using lentivirus, inhibited proliferation and cell cycle arrest at G1 phase were detected. LINC00968 over-expression also suppressed migration, invasion and epithelial mesenchymal transition. We further validated that LINC00968 localized in cytoplasm and acted as an upstream regulator of microRNA miR-22-5p, which was up-regulated in LUAD tissues and cell lines. Besides, elevated miR-22-5p expression abolished the effect of LINC00968 over-expression on LUAD progression including in vivo tumor growth. In addition, we first validated that cell division cycle 14A (CDC14A), which was down-regulated in LUAD tissues, was a downstream target of miR-22-5p. We over-expressed CDC14A in LUAD cells and miR-22-5p induced LUAD progression was partially reversed. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that LINC00968 inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion of LUAD by sponging miR-22-5p and further restoring CDC14A. This novel regulatory axis might provide us with promising diagnostic and therapeutic target in LUAD treatment.
