PM2.5 pollution is an important and urgent problem in China that can increase mortality and hospital admissions. Traffic-originated PM2.5 organic component (tPo) mainly contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Research has shown that PAHs can promote invasion, metastasis, and cancer stem cell properties in lung adenocarcinoma cells, but the exact toxicological mechanism is unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effect of lncRNAs on the progression of lung adenocarcinoma induced by tPo and the underlying mechanisms mediated by lncRNA-signaling pathway interactions. We found that chronic tPo treatment upregulated the expression of loc107985872, which further promoted cell invasion and migration, EMT and cancer stem cell properties via notch1 pathway in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Meanwhile, activation of the notch1 signaling pathway through loc107985872 might be associated with abnormally high expression of its upstream proteins, such as ADAM17, PSEN1 and DLL1. Moreover, tPo exposure induced EMT and the acquisition of cancer stem cell-like properties via the notch1 signaling pathway in vivo. In summary, loc107985872 upregulated by tPo promoted lung adenocarcinoma progression via the notch1 signaling pathway.
