Lung cancer is the most common cancer all around the world, with high morbidity and mortality. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been reported to have a critical role in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) proliferation and migration. In the present study, we analyzed The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data, and we found that lncRNA Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene 17 (SNHG17) was upregulated in NSCLC driven by the amplification of copy number, indicating the special role of SNHG17 in NSCLC. The full exact length of SNHG17 was determined by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). We modulated SNHG17 expression by RNAi and a series of functional assays were performed. Flow cytometry was used to explore the involvement of SNHG17 in NSCLC cell apoptosis. Results showed that the knockdown of SNHG17 inhibited the proliferation and migration and promoted the apoptosis of NSCLC cells. We acquired the global gene expression profile regulated by SNHG17 in A549 through RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) assays. We found 637 genes were upregulated while 581 genes were downregulated. We selected three genes (FOXA1, XAF1, and BIK) that were closely related to proliferation and apoptosis, and we confirmed their altered expression in A549 and PC-9 cells treated with small interfering RNA si-SNHG17. Our findings indicated gene amplification-driven lncRNA SNHG17 promotes cell proliferation and migration in NSCLC, suggesting its potential value as a biomarker in NSCLC.
