Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is regarded as the most common type of lung cancer. The molecular targeted therapies for LUAD have being extensively studied. Ribonuclease H2 subunit A (RNASEH2A) is a nucleotide degrading enzyme gene that exerts great influence on cell proliferation, DNA replication and genomic stability. According to bioinformatics analysis, RNASEH2A expression in LUAD tissues is predicted to be upregulated and high expression of RNASEH2A might be related to lower survival rate in LUAD patients. In the present study, we investigated functions of RNASEH2A in LUAD. The mRNA RNASEH2A showed high expression in LUAD cells, and its knockdown inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis in LUAD cells. RNASEH2A was found to be a target gene of microRNA miR‐3529‐5p after their expression levels and interaction being examined. Long noncoding RNA LINC01287 upregulated RNASEH2A expression in LUAD cells by combining with miR‐3529‐5p in a competitive way. Rescue assays revealed that the overexpression of RNASEH2A reversed the suppression of cell proliferation and the promotion of cell apoptosis induced by miR‐3529‐5p overexpression or LINC01287 knockdown. Finally, forkhead box A1 (FOXA1) interacted with RNASEH2A promoter and LINC01287 promoter to upregulate the expression levels of RNASEH2A and LINC01287 in LUAD cells. Overall, FOXA1‐induced LINC01287 serves as a competing endogenous RNA to promote proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of LUAD cells via upregulation of RNASEH2A expression at the posttranscriptional level by competitively combining with miR‐3529‐5p.
