Gallbladder cancer is a malignant tumor with a high mortality rate. Accumulating evidence supports that lncRNA MEG3 may halt the progression of gallbladder cancer, while the downstream mechanism is rarely studied. Thus, we aim to investigate the molecular basis of the tumor-suppressing role of lncRNA MEG3 in gallbladder cancer. The expression of lncRNA MEG3 and CXCL3 was measured in patient serum and cell lines of gallbladder cancer. The viability, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of gallbladder cancer cells were assessed following ectopic MEG3 expression, as detected by CCK-8, flow cytometry, and Transwell assays. The interaction among lncRNA MEG3, EZH2, and CXCL3 was explored through ChIP, RNA pull-down, and RIP assays. The effects of lncRNA MEG3 and CXCL3 on tumor growth were evaluated by a mouse xenograft model. lncRNA MEG3 was expressed at a low level in gallbladder cancer patient serum and cell lines, while CXCL3 was highly expressed. MEG3 overexpression repressed the malignant behaviors of gallbladder cancer cells and promoted their apoptosis. MEG3 was mainly localized in the nucleus. MEG3 bound to EZH2, and EZH2 catalyzed the H3K27 trimethylation of the CXCL3 promoter region. MEG3 downregulated CXCL3 by activating EZH2-mediated H3K27 trimethylation of CXCL3; MEG3 overexpression attenuated cancer cell malignant behaviors in vitro and suppressed tumor growth in vivo in gallbladder cancer by inhibiting CXCL3 expression. Altogether, our results indicate that lncRNA MEG3 impedes gallbladder cancer development via the EZH2-CXCL3 axis, offering potential biomarkers for gallbladder cancer management.
