肌动蛋白结合蛋白对肝癌细胞迁移与侵袭能力的影响及其机制研究

该文旨在探讨肌动蛋白结合蛋白(actin-binding protein,ANLN)对肝癌细胞迁移与侵袭能力的影响。应用荧光定量PCR(q RT-PCR)检测ANLN在肝癌组织和癌旁组织中的表达差异,运用慢病毒介导sh RNA干扰技术靶向敲低肝癌细胞Huh-7中ANLN的表达,并通过q RT-PCR和Western blot方法验证敲低效率;通过细胞迁移实验和侵袭实验检测肝癌细胞的迁移与侵袭能力。进一步通过q RT-PCR和Western blot检测ANLN基因敲低对基质金属蛋白酶9(matrix metallopeptidase 9,MMP9)m RNA和蛋白质水平的影响。最后,分析MMP9在ANLN敲低调控的肝癌细胞迁移侵袭过程中的作用。结果显示,在20例肝癌组织样本和癌旁组织中,ANLN在肝癌组织中m RNA水平较癌旁组织显著增高(P0.001)。其中,在发生转移的肝癌组织中,ANLN m RNA水平较无转移的肝癌组织显著增高(P0.001)。慢病毒介导sh RNA能显著抑制肝癌细胞中ANLN的表达,ANLN基因敲低能抑制肝癌细胞的迁移能力,并能显著抑制肝癌细胞的侵袭能力。机制研究发现,ANLN的基因敲低能显著抑制MMP9的表达,MMP9的过表达能逆转ANLN基因敲低对肝癌细胞迁移侵袭能力的抑制作用。该研究结果提示,在肝癌组织中,ANLN m RNA水平明显增高,ANLN的表达水平与迁移侵袭能力密切相关。ANLN基因敲低可能通过调节MMP9的表达,从而抑制肝癌细胞的迁移侵袭能力。

LncRNA MEG3 inhibits the progression of prostate cancer by modulating miR‐9‐5p/QKI‐5 axis

This study was designed to detecting the influences of lncRNA MEG3 in prostate cancer. Aberrant lncRNAs expression profiles of prostate cancer were screened by microarray analysis. The qRT‐PCR and Western blot were employed to investigating the expression levels of lncRNA MEG3, miR‐9‐5p and QKI‐5. The luciferase reporter assay was utilized to testifying the interactions relationship among these molecules. Applying CCK‐8 assay, wound healing assay, transwell assay and flow cytometry in turn, the cell proliferation, migration and invasion abilities as well as apoptosis were measured respectively. LncRNA MEG3 was a down‐regulated lncRNA in prostate cancer tissues and cells and could inhibit the expression of miR‐9‐5p, whereas miR‐9‐5p down‐regulated QKI‐5 expression. Overexpressed MEG3 and QKI‐5 could decrease the abilities of proliferation, migration and invasion in prostate cancer cells effectively and increased the apoptosis rate. On the contrary, miR‐9‐5p mimics presented an opposite tendency in prostate cancer cells. Furthermore, MEG3 inhibited tumour growth and up‐regulated expression of QKI‐5 in vivo. LncRNA MEG3 was a down‐regulated lncRNA in prostate cancer and impacted the abilities of cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and cell apoptosis rate, this regulation relied on regulating miR‐9‐5p and its targeting gene QKI‐5.     

LncRNA BDNF‐AS inhibits proliferation,migration, invasion and EMT in oesophageal cancer cells by targeting miR‐214

This study was aimed at exploring the effect of lncRNA BDNF‐AS on cell proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) of oesophageal cancer (EC) cells. The expression of BDNF‐AS and miR‐214 in tissue samples and cells was measured by qRT‐PCR. The targeted relationship between BDNF‐AS and miR‐214 was analysed by dual‐luciferase reporter assay. After cell transfection, the cell proliferation activity was assessed by MTS method, while the migrating and invading abilities were evaluated by transwell assay. LncRNA BDNF‐AS was remarkably down‐regulated, while miR‐214 was up‐regulated in EC tissues and cells in comparison with normal tissues and cells. Overexpression of BDNF‐AS significantly inhibited the abilities of cell proliferation, migration and invasion as well as the EMT processes of EC cells. The bioinformatics analysis and luciferase assay indicated that BDNF‐AS could be directly bound by miR‐214. Furthermore, overexpression of miR‐214 and BDNF‐AS exerted suppressive influence on EC cell multiplication, migration, invasion and EMT processes. LncRNA BDNF‐AS restrained cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT processes in EC cells by targeting miR‐214.

LncRNA RP11-363E7.4 has been shown to be downregulated in gastric cancer (GC), while the effect of lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 on GC and its potential molecular mechanisms is unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the functional role and underlying molecular mechanisms of lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 involved in GC progress.To address the question, quantitative real-time PCR assay was performed to confirm lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 expression levels in GC tissues and cell lines. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were estimated using Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, scratch wound healing and Transwell assays. Potential molecular mechanisms were evaluated using western blot assay. The results showed that lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 was significantly downregulated in GC cell lines and 82 paired tissues. The correlation between expression and clinicopathological features indicated that low expression of lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 was associated with T stage (P = .010). Functional experiments showed that overexpression of lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 prevented proliferation, migration, and invasion and induced apoptosis of GC cells. Western blot assay revealed that lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 functioned via the p53, Bax/Bcl-2, β-catenin pathway. In summary, this study revealed that lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 functioned as a tumour suppressor by inhibiting proliferation, migration, and invasion and inducing apoptosis of GC cells. Significance of the study :LncRNA RP11-363E7.4 has been shown to be downregulated in GC, while the effect of lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 on GC and its potential molecular mechanism is unclear. We revealed that lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 functioned as a tumour suppressor by inhibiting proliferation, migration, and invasion and inducing apoptosis of GC cells. LncRNA RP11-363E7.4 might become an attractive diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of GC and a promising target for GC treatment.     

Up-regulated miR155 Reverses the Epithelial-mesenchymal Transition Induced by EGF and Increases Chemo-sensitivity to Cisplatin in Human Caski Cervical Cancer Cells

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by EGF promotes cervical cancer progression; however, the mechanisms underlying the EGF-induced EMT remain unclear. In this study, we reported that miR155 overexpression suppressed EGF-induced EMT, decreased migration/invasion capacities, inhibited cell proliferation and increased the chemo-sensitivity to DDP in human Caski cervical cancer cells. Further, the overexpression of miR155 increased TP53 expression but reduced SMAD2, and CCND1 expression levels. These data suggest that miR155 negatively regulates EGF-induced EMT. We conclude that miR155 does not act as an oncogene but as a tumour suppressor in Caski cells.     

miR-342-3p suppresses proliferation,migration and invasion by targeting FOXM1 in human cervical cancer

FOXM1 is a well-established oncogenic factor that has been reported to be involved in multiple biological processes including cell proliferation, growth, angiogenesis, migration and invasion. It can also be regulated by miRNAs. In this study, we reported that FOXM1 is directly targeted by miR-342-3p, which is down-regulated along with its host gene, EVL, in human cervical cancer tissues compared to the adjacent normal tissues. Functional studies suggested that the overexpression of miR-342-3p inhibits cell proliferation, migration and invasion in cervical cell lines. FOXM1 is upregulated and negatively correlates with miR-342-3p in cervical cancer tissues, and the overexpression of FOXM1 rescues the phenotype changes induced by the overexpression of miR-342-3p.     

Downregulation of lncRNA HCP5 has inhibitory effects on gastric cancer cells by regulating DDX21 expression

LncRNA HCP5 has been confirmed to play crucial roles in many types of cancers. However, the role of lncRNA HCP5 in regulating the occurrence and development of gastric cancer (GC) remains unknown. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the precise effects of lncRNA HCP5 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion and molecular mechanisms in gastric cancer. Using RT-qPCR analysis, we found that lncRNA HCP5 was differentially expressed in GC cell lines. CCK-8, wound healing and transwell assay indicated that the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells were inhibited by downregulation of lncRNA HCP5 and lncRNA HCP5 overexpression exhibited the opposite effects in gastric cancer cells. Mechanistically, RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation and dual luciferase reporter assay confirmed the interaction between lncRNA HCP5 and DDX21. The effects of lncRNA HCP5 overexpression the proliferation, migration and invasion of GC cells were partly rescued by DDX21 silencing. Taken together, downregulation of lncRNA HCP5 exerted inhibitory effects on GC cell proliferation, migration and invasion through modulation of DDX21 expression, demonstrating the function of lncRNA HCP5 and DDX21 in GC progression.     

Up‐regulation of ZFAS1 indicates dismal prognosis for cholangiocarcinoma and promotes proliferation and metastasis by modulating USF1 via miR‐296‐5p

LncRNAs has been demonstrated to modulate neoplastic development by modulating downstream miRNAs and functional genes. In this study, we aimed to detect the interaction among lncRNA ZFAS1 miR‐296‐5p and USF1. We explored the proliferation, migration and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma. The differentially expressed ZFAS1 was discovered in both tissues and cell lines by qRT‐PCR. The targeting relationship between miR‐296‐5p and ZFAS1 or USF1 was validated by dual‐luciferase assay. The impact of ZFAS1 on CCA cell proliferation was observed by CCK‐8 assay. The protein expression of USF1 was determined by Western blot. The effects of ZFAS1, miR‐296‐5p and USF1 on tumour growth were further confirmed using xenograft model. LncRNA ZFAS1 expression was relatively up‐regulated in tumour tissues and cells while miR‐296‐5p was significantly down‐regulated. Knockdown of ZFAS1 significantly suppressed tumour proliferation, migration, invasion and USF1 expression. Overexpressed miR‐296‐5p suppressed cell proliferation and metastasis. Knockdown of USF1 inhibited cell proliferation and metastasis and xenograft tumour growth. In conclusion, ZFAS1 might promote cholangiocarcinoma proliferation and metastasis by modulating USF1 via miR‐296‐5p.
