Emerging evidence has reported that dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) participated in the development of diverse types of cancers. Our initial microarray‐based analysis identified differentially expressed NEK2 related to breast cancer and predicted the regulatory microRNA‐128‐3p (miR‐128‐3p). Herein, this study aimed to characterize the tumour‐suppressive role of miR‐128‐3p in regulating the biological characteristics of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). CD44+CD24?/low cells were selected for subsequent experiments. After verification of the target relationship between miR‐128‐3p and NEK2, the relationship among miR‐128‐3p, NEK2 and BCSCs was further investigated with the involvement of the Wnt signalling pathway. The regulatory effects of miR‐128‐3p on proliferation, migration, invasion and self‐renewal in vitro as well as tumorigenicity in vivo of BCSCs were examined via gain‐ and loss‐of‐function approaches. Highly expressed NEK2 was found in breast cancer based on GSE61304 expression profile. Breast cancer stem cells and breast cancer cells showed a down‐regulation of miR‐128‐3p. Overexpression of miR‐128‐3p was found to inhibit proliferation, migration, invasion, self‐renewal in vitro and tumorigenicity in vivo of BCSCs, which was further validated to be achieved through inhibition of Wnt signalling pathway by down‐regulating NEK2. In summary, this study indicates that miR‐128‐3p inhibits the stem‐like cell features of BCSCs via inhibition of the Wnt signalling pathway by down‐regulating NEK2, which provides a new target for breast cancer treatment. 相似文献

Osteosarcoma is a rare malignant bone tumor with high degree of malignancy. HULC (highly upregulated in liver cancer), a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) was involved in hepatocellular carcinoma development and progression, but its underlying mechanism in osteosarcoma is unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the functional role of HULC in osteosarcoma. The study was conducted in human osteosarcoma cell lines and the expression of HULC in the cell lines was detected by qRT‐PCR. Furthermore, the effects of HULC on tumorigenicity of osteosarcoma cells were evaluated by in vitro assays. Results revealed that HULC was highly expressed in osteosarcoma MG63 and OS‐732 cells compared to osteoblast hFOB1.19 cells. Suppression of HULC in osteosarcoma cells inhibited cell viability, migration, invasion, and promoted apoptosis. HULC functioned as an endogenous sponge for miR‐122, and its silence functioned through upregulating miR‐122. HNF4G was a target of miR‐122, and the effect of HNF4G on OS‐732 cells was the same as HULC. Furthermore, overexpression of miR‐122 inactivated PI3K/AKT, JAK/STAT, and Notch pathways by downregulation of HNF4G. These findings suggest that knockdown of HULC inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion by sponging miR‐122 in osteosarcoma cells. HULC may act as a novel therapeutic target for management of osteosarcoma. 相似文献

Recently, aberrant expression of miR‐876‐5p has been reported to participate in the progression of several human cancers. However, the expression and function of miR‐876‐5p in osteosarcoma (OS) are still unknown. Here, we found that the expression of miR‐876‐5p was significantly down‐regulated in OS tissues compared to para‐cancerous tissues. Clinical association analysis indicated that underexpression of miR‐876‐5p was positively correlated with advanced clinical stage and poor differentiation. More importantly, OS patients with low miR‐876‐5p level had a significant shorter overall survival compared to miR‐876‐5p high‐expressing patients. In addition, gain‐ and loss‐of‐function experiments demonstrated that miR‐876‐5p restoration suppressed whereas miR‐876‐5p knockdown promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion in both U2OS and MG63 cells. In vivo studies revealed that miR‐876‐5p overexpression inhibited tumour growth of OS in mice. Mechanistically, miR‐876‐5p reduced c‐Met abundance in OS cells and inversely correlated c‐Met expression in OS tissues. Herein, c‐Met was recognized as a direct target of miR‐876‐5p using luciferase reporter assay. Notably, c‐Met restoration rescued miR‐876‐5p attenuated the proliferation, migration and invasion of OS cells. In conclusion, these findings indicate that miR‐876‐5p may be used as a potential therapeutic target and promising biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of OS. 相似文献

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) widely participate in ESCC development and progression; however, the prognostic factors and therapeutic strategies implicated in ESCC development and progression remain to be under investigation. The purpose of the current study was to explore whether WDFY3‐AS2 may be a potential prognostic factor and investigate its biological functions in ESCC. Here, WDFY3‐AS2 was frequently down‐regulated in ESCC tissues and cells, and its expression was correlated with TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis of ESCC patients. Moreover, WDFY3‐AS2 down‐regulation significantly promoted cell proliferation and invasion, whereas WDFY3‐AS2 up‐regulation markedly suppressed cell proliferation and invasion in ESCC EC9706 and TE1 cells, coupled with EMT phenotype alterations. WDFY3‐AS2 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for sponging miR‐2355‐5p, further resulted in the up‐regulation of its target gene SOCS2, followed by suppression of JAK2/Stat5 signalling pathway, to suppress ESCC cell proliferation and invasion in EC9706 and TE1 cells. These findings suggest that WDFY3‐AS2 may participate in ESCC development and progression, and may be a novel prognostic factor for ESCC patients, and thus targeting WDFY3‐AS2/miR‐2355‐5p/SOCS2 signalling axis may be a novel therapeutic strategy for ESCC patients. 相似文献

MiR‐4732‐5p was previously found to be dysregulated in nipple discharge of breast cancer. However, the expression and function of miR‐4732‐5p in breast cancer remain largely unknown. Here, the expression of miR‐4732‐5p was detected using quantitative real‐time PCR in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion assays were performed to examine the effects of miR‐4732‐5p in breast cancer. In addition, mRNA sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, Western blot and luciferase assays were performed to identify the target of miR‐4732‐5p. Overall, miR‐4732‐5p was significantly down‐regulated in breast cancer tissues, especially in lymph node metastasis (LNM)‐negative tissues, compared with adjacent normal tissues. However, it was more highly expressed in LNM‐positive breast cancer tissues, compared with LNM‐negative ones. Expression of miR‐4732‐5p was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis, larger tumour size, advanced clinical stage, high Ki‐67 levels and poor prognosis. MiR‐4732‐5p promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion in breast cancer. MiR‐4732‐5p directly targeted the 3′‐UTR of tetraspanin 13 (TSPAN13) and suppressed TSPAN13 expression at the mRNA and protein levels. These results suggested that miR‐4732‐5p may serve as a tumour suppressor in the initiation of breast cancer, but as a tumour promoter in breast cancer progression by targeting TSPAN13. 相似文献

Wilms' tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is a kind of pediatric renal cancer. Previous studies have indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate various cancers progression. However, whether miR‐200 family regulated Wilms' tumor progression remains to be elucidated. In our study, miR‐200b/c/429 expression was downregulated in Wilms' tumor tissue samples from 25 patients. And data from three independent analyses of quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction revealed that the expression of miR‐200b/c/429 was downregulated in Wilms' tumor cell lines. Functionally, Cell counting kit‐8 assay revealed that cell viability was reduced by overexpressing miR‐200b/c/429. Transwell assay manifested that cell migration and invasion was hindered by miR‐200b/c/429 overexpression. Sphere‐forming and western blot assays demonstrated that miR‐200b/c/429 overexpression suppressed the sphere formation ability. Mechanically, nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) pathway was confirmed to be associated with Wilms' tumor progression; miR‐200b/c/429 overexpression inactivated NF‐κB pathway as miR‐200b/c/429 was identified to target IκB kinase β (IKK‐β), an NF‐κB pathway‐related gene. Moreover, miR‐200b/c/429 was sponged by LINC00667 in Wilms' tumor cells. LINC00667 competitively bound with miR‐200b/c/429 to regulate IKK‐β expression and then activated NF‐κB pathway in Wilms' tumor. Subsequently, rescue assays illustrated that silencing of IKK‐β could reverse the effect of miR‐200b/c/429 inhibition on the progression of sh‐LINC00667‐transfected Wilms' tumor cells. In summary, LINC00667 promoted Wilms' tumor progression by sponging miR‐200b/c/429 family to regulate IKK‐β. 相似文献

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer‐related death in males, primarily due to its metastatic potential. The present study aims to identify the expression of microRNA‐539 (miR‐539) in PCa and further investigate its functional relevance in PCa progression both in vitro and in vivo. Initially, microarray analysis was conducted to obtain the differentially expressed gene candidates and the regulatory miRNAs, after which the possible interaction between the two was determined. Next, ectopic expression and knock‐down of the levels of miR‐539 were performed in PCa cells to identify the functional role of miR‐539 in PCa pathogenesis, followed by the measurement of E‐cadherin, vimentin, Smad4, c‐Myc, Snail1 and SLUG expression, as well as proliferation, migration and invasion of PCa cells. Finally, tumour growth was evaluated in nude mice through in vivo experiments. The results found that miR‐539 was down‐regulated and DLX1 was up‐regulated in PCa tissues and cells. miR‐539 was also found to target and negatively regulate DLX1 expression, which resulted in the inhibition of the TGF‐β/Smad4 signalling pathway. Moreover, the up‐regulation of miR‐539 or DLX1 gene silencing led to the inhibition of PCa cell proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT and tumour growth, accompanied by increased E‐cadherin expression and decreased expression of vimentin, Smad4, c‐Myc, Snail1 and SLUG. In conclusion, the overexpression of miR‐539‐mediated DLX1 inhibition could potentially impede EMT, proliferation, migration and invasion of PCa cells through the blockade of the TGF‐β/Smad4 signalling pathway, highlighting a potential miR‐539/DLX1/TGF‐β/Smad4 regulatory axis in the treatment of PCa. 相似文献

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) could regulate growth and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we aimed to investigate the mechanism of lncRNA F11‐AS1 in hepatitis B virus (HBV)–related HCC. The relation of lncRNA F11‐AS1 expression in HBV‐related HCC tissues to prognosis was analysed in silico. Stably HBV‐expressing HepG2.2.15 cells were established to explore the regulation of lncRNA F11‐AS1 by HBx protein, as well as to study the effects of overexpressed lncRNA F11‐AS1 on proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis in vitro. Subsequently, the underlying interactions and roles of lncRNA F11‐AS1/miR‐211‐5p/NR1I3 axis in HBV‐related HCC were investigated. Additionally, the influence of lncRNA F11‐AS1 and miR‐211‐5p on tumour growth and metastasis capacity of HepG2.2.15 cells were studied on tumour‐bearing nude mice. Poor expression of lncRNA F11‐AS1 was correlated with poor prognosis in patients with HBV‐related HCC, and its down‐regulation was caused by the HBx protein. lncRNA F11‐AS1 was proved to up‐regulate the NR1I3 expression by binding to miR‐211‐5p. Overexpression of lncRNA F11‐AS1 reduced the proliferation, migration and invasion, yet induced apoptosis of HepG2.2.15 cells in vitro, which could be abolished by overexpression of miR‐211‐5p. Additionally, either lncRNA F11‐AS1 overexpression or miR‐211‐5p inhibition attenuated the tumour growth and metastasis capacity of HepG2.2.15 cells in vivo. Collectively, lncRNA F11‐AS1 acted as a modulator of miR‐211‐5p to positively regulate the expression of NR1I3, and the lncRNA F11‐AS1/miR‐211‐5p/NR1I3 axis participated in HBV‐related HCC progression via interference with the cellular physiology of HCC. 相似文献

The network of molecular players is similar when comparing neural crest‐derived, actively migrating melanoblasts to melanoma cells. However, melanoblasts are sensitive to differentiation‐initiating signals at their target site (epidermis), while melanoma cells maintain migratory and undifferentiated features. We aimed at identifying downregulated genes in melanoma that are particularly upregulated in melanoblasts. Loss of such genes could contribute to stabilization of a dedifferentiated, malignant phenotype in melanoma. We determined that microRNA‐622 (miR‐622) expression was strongly downregulated in melanoma cells and tissues compared to melanocytes and melanoblast‐related cells. miR‐622 expression correlated with survival of patients with melanoma. miR‐622 re‐expression inhibited clonogenicity, proliferation, and migration in melanoma. Inhibition of miR‐622 in melanocytes induced enhanced migration. Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) was identified as a major functional target of miR‐622 in melanoma. We conclude that miR‐622 is a novel tumor suppressor in melanoma and identify the miR‐622‐KRAS axis as potential therapeutic target. 相似文献

Based on miR‐874 expression levels in the GSE47841 microarray, we hypothesized that the mature products of miR‐874, miR‐874‐3p, or miR‐874‐5p, would inhibit epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cell proliferation, metastasis, and chemoresistance. We first examined miR‐874‐3p and miR‐874‐5p expression levels in primary EOC tumor tissue samples and found that they were significantly decreased. 3‐(4,5‐Dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) cell proliferation and transwell assays revealed that miR‐874‐3p and miR‐874‐5p significantly inhibit EOC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Then, using MTT and soft agar assays of paclitaxel‐treated Caov3 and SKOV3 cells transfected with miR‐874‐3p and miR‐874‐5p, we found that miR‐874‐3p and miR‐874‐5p enhance EOC cell chemosensitivity. We then confirmed that serine/threonine‐protein kinase 2 (SIK2) was a target gene of miR‐874‐3p and miR‐874‐5p. Overall, the results of this study indicate that SIK2 expression can serve as a prognostic biomarker for EOC and that miR‐874‐3p and miR‐874‐5p have the potential to enhance clinical treatment of EOC. 相似文献

The long intergenic non‐protein coding RNA regulator of reprogramming (lncRNA‐ROR) has been reported to play crucial regulatory roles in the pathogenesis and progression of multiple cancers. However, whether ROR is associated with the initiation and development of osteosarcoma (OS) remains unclear. Here, we found that ROR expression level was significantly up‐regulated in OS tissue samples compared to adjacent normal tissues, and the elevated ROR was closely correlated with advanced tumour‐node‐metastasis (TNM) stage and lymph node metastasis and poor overall survival rate. Functional assays showed that ROR knockdown suppressed the OS cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion in vitro, and retarded tumour growth in vivo. In addition, miR‐206 was verified to be a target miRNA of ROR using bioinformatics online program and luciferase report assay. miR‐206 inhibition partially rescued the inhibitory effects on OS cells induced by ROR knockdown. In conclusion, these results suggested that ROR function as an oncogene in OS by sponging miR‐206 and might be a potential therapeutic target for patients with OS. 相似文献

HSCR (Hirschsprung's disease) is a serious congenital defect, and the aetiology of it remains unclear. Many studies have highlighted the significant roles of intronic miRNAs and their host genes in various disease, few was mentioned in HSCR although. In this study, miR‐483‐3p along with its host gene IGF2 (Insulin‐like growth factor 2) was found down‐regulated in 60 HSCR aganglionic colon tissues compared with 60 normal controls. FHL1 (Four and a half LIM domains 1) was determined as a target gene of miR‐483‐3p via dual‐luciferase reporter assay, and its expression was at a higher level in HSCR tissues. Here, we study cell migration and proliferation in human 293T and SH‐SY5Y cell lines by performing Transwell and CCK8 assays. In conclusion, the knockdown of miR‐483‐3p and IGF2 both suppressed cell migration and proliferation, while the loss of FHL1 leads to opposite outcome. Furthermore, miR‐483‐3p mimics could rescue the negative effects on cell proliferation and migration caused by silencing IGF2, while the FHL1 siRNA may inverse the function of miR‐483‐3p inhibitor. This study revealed that miR‐483‐3p derived from IGF2 was associated with Hirschsprung's disease by targeting FHL1 and may provide a new pathway to understand the aetiology of HSCR. 相似文献

Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive breast cancer subtype that lacks effective targeted therapies. The epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key contributor in the metastatic process. In this study, we found that miR‐655 was down‐regulated in TNBC, and its expression levels were associated with molecular‐based classification and lymph node metastasis in breast cancer. These findings led us to hypothesize that miR‐655 overexpression may inhibit EMT and its associated traits of TNBC. Ectopic expression of miR‐655 not only induced the up‐regulation of cytokeratin and decreased vimentin expression but also suppressed migration and invasion of mesenchymal‐like cancer cells accompanied by a morphological shift towards the epithelial phenotype. In addition, we found that miR‐655 was negatively correlated with Prrx1 in cell lines and clinical samples. Overexpression of miR‐655 significantly suppressed Prrx1, as demonstrated by Prrx1 3′‐untranslated region luciferase report assay. Our study demonstrated that miR‐655 inhibits the acquisition of the EMT phenotype in TNBC by down‐regulating Prrx1, thereby inhibiting cell migration and invasion during cancer progression. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in carcinogenesis. Dysregulation of miRNAs, both oncogenic miRNAs and tumour‐suppressive miRNAs, is closely associated with cancer development and progression. The levels of miRNAs could be changed epigenetically by DNA methylation in the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) of pre‐mature miRNAs. To investigate whether DNA methylation alters the expression of miR‐129 in lung cancer, we did DNA methylation assays and found that 5′ UTR region of miR‐129‐2 gene was absolutely methylated in both A549 and SPCA‐1 lung cancer cells, but totally un‐methylated in 95‐D cells. The expression of miR‐129 was restored by 5‐Aza‐2'‐deoxycytidine (DAC), a de‐methylation agent, in both A549 and SPCA‐1 cells, resulting in attenuated cell migration and invasion ability, and decreased protein level of NF‐κB, which indicates the involvement of NF‐κB pathway. To further illustrate the roles of miR‐129 in lung tumourigenesis, we overexpressed miR‐129 in lung cancer cells by transfection of miR‐129 mimics, and found arrested cell proliferation at G2/M phase of cell cycle and inhibited cell invasion. These findings strongly suggest that miR‐129 is a tumour suppressive miRNA, playing important roles in the development and progression of human lung cancer. 相似文献

Aberrant Notch signalling plays an important role in cancer progression. However, little is known about the interaction between miRNA and the Notch signalling pathway and its role in gastric cancer (GC). In this study, we found that miR‐124 was down‐regulated in GC compared with adjacent normal tissue. Forced expression of miR‐124 inhibited GC cell growth, migration and invasion, and induced cell cycle arrest. miR‐124 negatively regulated Notch1 signalling by targeting JAG1. miR‐124 levels were also shown to be inversely correlated with JAG1 expression in GC. Furthermore, we found that the overexpression of the intracellular domain of Notch1 repressed miR‐124 expression, promoted GC cell growth, migration and invasion. Conversely, blocking Notch1 using a γ‐secretase inhibitor up‐regulated miR‐124 expression, inhibited GC cell growth, migration and invasion. In conclusion, our data demonstrates a regulatory feedback loop between miR‐124 and Notch1 signalling in GC cells, suggesting that the miR‐124/Notch axis may be a potential therapeutic target against GC. 相似文献
