miR-9-5p靶向抑制Ambra1促进舌癌细胞增殖

miRNAs在肿瘤中异常表达,且与肿瘤的发生发展密切相关。目前发现,miR-9-5p在肿瘤中可能发挥原癌或抑癌效应,功能尚未完全阐述清楚。本文拟探讨miR-9-5p在舌癌中的作用。前期研究中收集10例舌癌组织及配对的癌旁组织,实时荧光定量PCR技术检测后发现,miR-9-5p在舌癌组织中的表达量显著高于癌旁组织,且其在舌癌细胞中的表达量也明显高于正常舌上皮细胞。此外,在舌癌细胞Tca8113中过表达miR-9-5p显著增加细胞的增殖能力。生物信息学预测及双荧光素酶报告基因实验证实,miR-9-5p可直接结合在自噬/苄氯素1调节因子1(activating molecule in beclin1-regulated autophagy,Ambra1)的3'-UTR区域,靶向抑制Ambra1表达。Western印迹结果证实过表达miR-9-5p降低Ambra1的表达,反之亦然。Ambra1在舌癌细胞中的表达量显著低于正常舌上皮细胞。Brd U实验证实在舌癌细胞SCC-25中过表达Ambra1可显著抑制其增殖能力;相反,使用siRNA技术沉默Ambra1能够显著促进Tca8113细胞的增殖。在干预miR-9-5p的细胞中同时干预Ambra1的表达,结果发现Ambra1可显著逆转miR-9-5p对舌癌细胞增殖的促进作用。总之,miR-9-5p在舌癌中可能发挥原癌基因样作用,通过直接靶向抑制Ambra1表达进而促进舌癌细胞发生增殖。     

长链非编码RNA SNHG7靶向调控miR-9-5p参与舌癌进程

目前发现长链非编码RNA（long non-coding RNA, lncRNA）小核仁RNA宿主基因7 (small nucleolar RNA host gene 7, SNHG7)在多种肿瘤中高表达,发挥原癌基因效应,但是其在舌癌中的功能尚未研究。qRT-PCR结果证实,SNHG7在舌癌组织和细胞中均下调。在舌癌细胞中,过表达SNHG7抑制舌癌细胞增殖,敲低SNHG7促进舌癌细胞增殖。生物信息学分析及双荧光素酶报告基因实验证实,miR-9-5p与SNHG7结合且下调其表达。过表达SNHG7,miR-9-5p表达量降低而自噬/苄氯素1调节因子1（autophagy/Beclin 1 regulator 1, Ambra1）的表达增加。敲低SNHG7,上调miR-9-5p,且降低Ambra1的表达。临床组织标本随访资料统计发现,SNHG7、Ambra1与舌癌患者预后正相关,而miR-9-5p与舌癌患者预后负相关。提示SNHG7/miR-9-5p/Ambra1可作为舌癌预后的潜在标志物。

lncRNA CBR3-AS1通过调控miR-145-5p影响胃癌HGC-27细胞的增殖、迁移、侵袭和凋亡

为探讨lncRNA CBR3-AS1靶向miR-145-5p对胃癌细胞HGC-27恶性生物学行为的影响,该研究先用实时荧光定量PCR(RT-qPCR)检测30例胃癌患者的癌组织及癌旁组织中CBR3-AS1和miR-145-5p的表达水平。然后,将CBR3-AS1干扰表达载体质粒、miR-145-5p模拟物、miR-145-5p抑制剂与CBR3-AS1干扰表达载体质粒转染至胃癌细胞HGC-27;用四甲基偶氮唑盐比色法(MTT)检测细胞活性;流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡流程;Transwell法检测迁移和侵袭的细胞数;双荧光素酶报告实验检测CBR3-AS1和miR-145-5p的靶向关系。实验结果显示,胃癌组织中CBR3-AS1表达水平高于癌旁组织,而miR-145-5p表达水平低于癌旁组织(P0.05)。过表达miR-145-5p或抑制lncRNA CBR3-AS1表达可降低HGC-27细胞活性,减少迁移侵袭细胞数,而提高细胞凋亡率(P0.05)。lncRNA CBR3-AS1靶向调控miR-145-5p;下调miR-145-5p逆转了抑制lncRNA CBR3-AS1表达对HGC-27细胞的作用。因此,抑制lncRNA CBR3-AS1表达可能通过上调miR-145-5p抑制HGC-27细胞的迁移侵袭、增殖,促进细胞凋亡。

RP4 通过miR-183-5p.1上调FOXO1抑制乳腺癌细胞增殖

近年来,越来越多的证据表明,长非编码RNAs在肿瘤发生发展中发挥重要作用。位于12号染色体的长非编码RNA RP4-816N1.7（简称RP4）在乳腺癌细胞中的作用未见报道。我们通过实时荧光定量PCR证实,RP4在乳腺癌细胞中的表达量普遍低于其在正常乳腺上皮细胞MCF-10A中的表达量。RP4在MCF-7和MDA-MB-231中表达量分别比其在MCF-10A中的表达量下调21.57%和91.33%。过表达RP4可明显抑制乳腺癌细胞增殖。敲低RP4可显著增加乳腺癌细胞的增殖能力。生物信息学预测,RP4可能与miR-183-5p.1结合,且叉头蛋白O1(FOXO1)可能是miR-183-5p.1的潜在靶标。实时荧光定量PCR结果提示,RP4可下调miR-183-5p.1,而miR-183-5p.1也可下调RP4和FOXO1的表达。双荧光素酶报告基因结果证实,miR-183-5p.1可与RP4结合,下调其表达,也能与FOXO1 3′UTR结合,抑制其mRNA和蛋白质水平的表达量。最后,本文通过BrdU实验证实,RP4通过FOXO1抑制乳腺癌细胞的增殖。总之,RP4通过内源性结合miR-183-5p.1,上调FOXO1表达,进而抑制乳腺癌细胞增殖。

miR-3940-5p Functions as a Tumor Suppressor in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells by Targeting Cyclin D1 and Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase-28

miR-3940-5p level was lower in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumor tissues than that in the matched tumor-adjacent tissues and correlated with clinicopathological features. Cyclin D1 (CCND1), a key driver of malignant transformation in NSCLC, was overexpressed in many cancers, including NSCLC. The ubiquitin specific peptidase-28 (USP28) was also overexpressed in NSCLC and associated with poor prognosis of NSCLC patients. We searched for miR-3940-5p targets by using TargetScan and miRanda online tools and found that CCND1 and USP28 were potential targets of miR-3940-5p. Based on these findings, we speculated that miR-3940-5p might target CCND1 and USP28 to inhibit NSCLC growth. We determined the expression of miR-3940-5p, CCND1, and USP28 by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot assays, respectively, and found downregulation of miR-3940-5p and upregulation of CCND1 and USP28 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Cell proliferation and apoptosis assays showed that miR-3940-5p suppressed proliferation and promoted apoptosis in NSCLC cells, and silencing CCND1 and USP28 both recapitulated the effects of miR-3940-5p on NSCLC cells. Furthermore, we verified that CCND1 and USP28 were direct targets of miR-3940-5p and also found that the effects of NSCLC cell proliferation and apoptosis by miR-3940-5p were attenuated by overexpression of CCND1 or USP28. The animal experiments also showed that overexpression of miR-3940-5p inhibited the growth of NSCLC tumors in vivo. These results confirmed our speculation that miR-3940-5p inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in NSCLC cells by targeting CCND1 and USP28. These findings facilitate a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying NSCLC initiation and progression and provide promising diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for NSCLC.     

Long noncoding RNA PRKCQ-AS1 promotes CRC cell proliferation and migration via modulating miR-1287-5p/YBX1 axis

Colorectal cancer (CRC) brings more than 600 000 deaths every year around the globe, making itself the third most frequently occurred carcinoma. The great progress human achieved in diagnosis and treatment of various cancers has failed to reverse this trend. Fortunately, growing evidence has implied the relationship between lncRNAs and cancer progression. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) PRKCQ-AS1 was heightened in CRC cells and tissues and related with dismal prognosis of CRC patients. Knockdown of PRKCQ-AS1 would induce a decrease in proliferative and migrating ability of CRC cells. Also, PRKCQ-AS1 enriched in cytoplasm of CRC cells and negatively regulated miR-1287-5p level. More important, PRKCQ-AS1 could bind to argonaute 2 and function in the RNA-induced silencing complex with miR-1287-5p. Therefore, PRKCQ-AS1 was a competing endogenous RNA for miR-1287-5p. Subsequently, it was validated that miR-1287-5p could suppress the proliferative and migratory functions in CRC. Furthermore, PRKCQ-AS1 could upregulate the mRNA and protein level of YBX1 targeted by miR-1287-5p. And YBX1 expression was elevated in CRC cells and tissues. Rescue assays in vitro and in vivo showed that overexpression of YBX1 could partly offset the effect of CRC progression induced by knocking down PRKCQ-AS1, demonstrating PRKCQ-AS1 mediating CRC progression via miR-1287-5p/YBX1 pathway.     

LncRNA-UCA1 modulates progression of colon cancer through regulating the miR-28-5p/HOXB3 axis

Emerging evidence has shown that the long noncoding RNA urothelial carcinoma–associated 1 (UCA1) plays a tumor-promoting role in colorectal cancer, while miR-28-5p shows tumor-inhibitory activity in several tumor types. However, the mechanisms both of these in colon cancer progression are still unknown. In this work, the detailed roles and mechanisms of UCA1 and its target genes in colon cancer were studied. The results showed that UCA1 was upregulated in colon cancer tissues when compared with the adjacent nonhumorous tissues, as well as in the various colon cancer cell lines, but the expression of miR-28-5p showed an opposite trend. Furthermore, a high UCA1 level in colon cancer tissues is positively associated with the tumor size and advanced tumor stages. Functional assays revealed that both UCA1 knockdown and miR-28-5p overexpression could inhibit colon cancer cell growth and migration. Further mechanistic studies indicated that UCA1 knockdown played tumor suppressive roles in SW480 and HT116 cells through binding with miR-28-5p. We also, for the first time, identified HOXB3 as the target gene of miR-28-5p and that HOXB3 overexpression could mediate the functions of UCA1 in cell proliferation and migration of colon cancer cells. In conclusion, our data provided evidence for the regulatory network of UCA1/miR-28-5p/HOXB3 in colon cancer, suggesting that UCA1, miR-28-5p, and HOXB3 are the potential targets for colon cancer therapy.     

Long non-coding RNA CCAT1 promotes cervical cancer cell proliferation and invasion by regulating the miR-181a-5p/MMP14 axis

Cervical cancer is a serious threat to women’s health and is the third most common malignancy in women worldwide. Recent studies indicate that the long non-coding RNA CCAT1 plays a role in the malignant behavior of many tumors. However, the role of CCAT1 in cervical cancer is still unknown. Our aim is to evaluate the expression and investigate the regulatory role and potential mechanism of CCAT1 in cervical cancer. CCAT1 expression was measured by qRT-PCR. In addition, CCK-8 assays, colony formation assays, qRT-PCR assays, Transwell assays and xenograft experiments were performed to determine the role of CCAT1 in the proliferation and invasion in cervical cancer cells. The expression of CCAT1 in the cervical cancer tissues was higher than in the adjacent normal tissues. Overexpressing CCAT1 promoted cervical cancer cell proliferation, colony formation, and invasion in vitro. Elevated CCAT1 suppressed miR-181a expression, which was accompanied by an increased expression of MMP14 and HB-EGF. In contrast, knocking down CCAT1 resulted in increased expression of miR-181a, along with decreased expression of MMP14 and HB-EGF. Thus, CCAT1 is a key oncogenic lncRNA associated with cervical cancer and plays a role in promoting cervical cancer cell proliferation and invasion by regulating the miR-181a-5p/MMP14 axis.     

LncRNA CASC11 promoted gastric cancer cell proliferation,migration and invasion in vitro by regulating cell cycle pathway

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of lncRNA CASC11 on gastric cancer (GC) cell progression through regulating miR-340-5p and cell cycle pathway. Expressions of lncRNA CASC11 in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines were determined by qRT-PCR. Differentially expressed lncRNAs, mRNAs and miRNAs were screened through microarray analysis. The relationship among CASC11, CDK1 and miR-340-5p was predicted by TargetScan and validated through dual luciferase reporter assay. Western blot assay examined the protein level of CDK1 and several cell cycle regulatory proteins. GO functional analysis and KEGG pathway analysis were used to predict the association between functions and related pathways. Cell proliferation was determined by CCK-8 assays. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry assay. CASC11 was highly expressed in GC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of CASC11 inhibited GC cell proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis and blocked cell cycle. KEGG further indicated an enriched cell cycle pathway involving CDK1. QRT-PCR showed that miR-340-5p was down-regulated in GC cells tissues, while CDK1 was up-regulated. Furthermore, CASC11 acted as a sponge of miR-340-5p which directly targeted CDK1. Meanwhile, miR-340-5p overexpression promoted GC cell apoptosis and induced cell cycle arrest, while CDK1 overexpression inhibited cell apoptosis and accelerated cell cycle. Our study revealed the mechanism of CASC11/miR-340-5p/CDK1 network in GC cell line, and suggested that CASC11 was a novel facilitator that exerted a biological effect by activating the cell cycle signaling pathway. This finding provides a potential therapeutic target for GC.     

Knockdown of lncRNA ZFAS1-suppressed non–small cell lung cancer progression via targeting the miR-150-5p/HMGA2 signaling

Non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the main type of lung malignancy. Early diagnosis and treatments for NSCLC are far from satisfactory due to the limited knowledge of the molecular mechanisms regarding NSCLC progression. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) ZNFX1 antisense RNA1 (ZFAS1) has been implicated for its functional role in the progression of malignant tumors. This study aimed to determine the ZFAS1 expression from lung cancer clinical samples and to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying ZFAS1-modulated NSCLC progression. Experimental assays revealed that clinical samples and cell lines of lung malignant tumors showed an upregulation of ZFSA1. ZFAS1 expression was markedly upregulated in the lung tissues from patients with advanced stage of this malignancy. The loss-of-function assays showed that knockdown of ZFAS1-suppressed NSCLC cell proliferative, as well as invasive potentials, increased NSCLC cell apoptotic rates in vitro and also attenuated tumor growth of NSCLC cells in the nude mice. Further experimental evidence showed that ZFAS1 inversely affected miR-150-5p expression and positively affected high-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) expression in NSCLC cell lines. MiR-150-5p inhibition or HMGA2 overexpression counteracted the effects of ZFAS1 knockdown on NSCLC cell proliferative, invasive potentials and apoptotic rates. In light of examining the clinical lung cancer samples, miR-150-5p expression was downregulated and the HMGA2 expression was highly expressed in the lung cancer tissues compared with normal ones; the ZFAS1 expression showed a negative correlation with miR-150-5p expression but a positive correlation with HMGA2 expression in lung cancer tissues. To summarize, we, for the first time, demonstrated the inhibitory effects of ZFAS1 knockdown on NSCLC cell progression, and the results from mechanistic studies indicated that ZFAS1-mediated NSCLC progression cells via targeting miR-150-5p/HMGA2 signaling.
