Emerging evidence has validated the vital role of long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) in the chemoresistance of cancer treatment. In the present study, we investigate the function of lncRNA NR2F1‐AS1 on oxaliplatin (OXA) resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and discover the underlying molecular mechanism. Results revealed that lncRNA NR2F1‐AS1 was up‐regulated in oxaliplatin‐resistant HCC tissue and cells using microarray analysis and RT‐PCR. Meanwhile, ABCC1 protein was overexpressed in OXA‐resistant HCC cells (Huh7/OXA and HepG2/OXA). In vitro, NR2F1‐AS1 knockdown reduced the invasion, migration, drug‐resistant gene (MDR1, MRP5, LRP1) and IC50 value in Huh7/OXA and HepG2/OXA cells. In vivo, NR2F1‐AS1 knockdown decreased the tumour weight of HCC cells. Bioinformatics tools and luciferase reporter assay confirmed miR‐363 targeted the 3′‐UTR of NR2F1‐AS1 and ABCC1 mRNA, presenting that NR2F1‐AS1 promoted ABCC1 expression through endogenous sponging miR‐363. In summary, results conclude that NR2F1‐AS1 regulates HCC OXA resistance through targeting miR‐363‐ABCC1 pathway, providing a vital theoretic mechanism and therapeutic target for HCC chemoresistance. 相似文献

Accumulating studies have suggested that microRNA‐760 (miR‐760) plays an important role in chemoresistance of various cancer cells. However, whether miR‐760 regulates the chemoresistance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. In this study, we found that miR‐760 was decreased in HCC cell lines, and doxorubicin (Dox) treatment significantly decreased miR‐760 expression in HCC cells. Overexpression of miR‐760 sensitized HCC cells to Dox‐induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis, whereas miR‐760 inhibition showed the opposite effects. Notch1 was predicted as a target gene of miR‐760. miR‐760 negatively regulated Notch1 expression and Notch1/Hes1 signaling. Overexpression of miR‐760 increased PTEN expression and decreased the phosphorylation of Akt. Activation of Notch signaling significantly reversed the inhibitory effect of miR‐760 on Dox‐resistance and abrogated the effect of miR‐760 on the PTEN/Akt signaling pathway in HCC cells. Overall, our results demonstrate that miR‐760 inhibits Dox‐resistance in HCC cells through inhibiting Notch1 and promoting PTEN expression. 相似文献

BackgroundAccumulating evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in various cancers. Hsa_circ_0008832 (circFBXO7) is a circRNA generated from the second exon of the human F-box only protein 7 (FBXO7). Mouse circFbxo7 is a circRNA generated from the second exon of mouse F-box only protein 7 (Fbxo7). The role of human circFBXO7 and mouse circFbxo7 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been reported.MethodsThe expression of circFBXO7 was measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Survival analysis was performed to explore the association between the expression of circFBXO7 and the prognosis of patients with NSCLC. Lung cancer cell lines were transfected with plasmids. Cell proliferation, cell cycle, and tumorigenesis were evaluated to assess the effects of circFBXO7. Fluorescence in situ hybridization assay was used to identify the location of circFBXO7 and circFbxo7 in human and mouse lung cancer cells. Luciferase reporter assay was conducted to confirm the relationship between circFBXO7 and microRNA.ResultsIn this study, we found that circFBXO7 was downregulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. NSCLC patients with high circFBXO7 expression had prolonged overall survival. Overexpression of circFBXO7 inhibited cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that circFBXO7 upregulated the expression of miR-296-3p target gene Krüppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) and KLF15 transactivated the expression of CDKN1A.ConclusionsCircFBXO7 acts as a tumor suppressor by a novel circFBXO7/miR-296-3p/KLF15/CDKN1A axis, which may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for NSCLC. 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

Emerging evidence has indicated the important function of long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumour chemotherapy resistance. However, the underlying mechanism is still ambiguous. In this study, we investigate the physiopathologic role of lncRNA ferritin heavy chain 1 pseudogene 3 (FTH1P3) on the paclitaxel (PTX) resistance in breast cancer. Results showed that lncRNA FTH1P3 was up‐regulated in paclitaxel‐resistant breast cancer tissue and cells (MCF‐7/PTX and MDA‐MB‐231/PTX cells) compared with paclitaxel‐sensitive tissue and parental cell lines (MCF‐7, MDA‐MB‐231). Gain‐ and loss‐of‐function experiments revealed that FTH1P3 silencing decreased the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of paclitaxel and induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase, while FTH1P3‐enhanced expression exerted the opposite effects. In vivo, xenograft mice assay showed that FTH1P3 silencing suppressed the tumour growth of paclitaxel‐resistant breast cancer cells and ABCB1 protein expression. Bioinformatics tools and luciferase reporter assay validated that FTH1P3 promoted ABCB1 protein expression through targeting miR‐206, acting as a miRNA “sponge.” In summary, our results reveal the potential regulatory mechanism of FTH1P3 on breast cancer paclitaxel resistance through miR‐206/ABCB1, providing a novel insight for the breast cancer chemoresistance. 相似文献

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is featured by the increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure. Despite that abnormal proliferation and phenotypic changes in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (HPASMCs) contributing to the pathophysiology of PAH, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, we detected the expression of miR‐629 in hypoxia‐treated HPASMCs and explored the mechanistic role of miR‐629 in regulating HPASMC proliferation, migration and apoptosis. Hypoxia time‐dependently induced up‐regulation of miR‐629 and promoted cell viability and proliferation in HPASMCs. Treatment with miR‐629 mimics promoted HPASMCs proliferation and migration, but inhibited cell apoptosis; while knockdown of miR‐629 suppressed the cell proliferation and migration but promoted cell apoptosis in HPASMCs. The bioinformatics prediction revealed FOXO3 and PERP as downstream targets of miR‐629, and miR‐629 negatively regulated the expression of FOXO3 and PERP via targeting the 3’ untranslated regions. Enforced expression of FOXO3 or PERP attenuated the miR‐629 overexpression or hypoxia‐induced enhanced effects on HPASMC proliferation and proliferation, and the suppressive effects on HPASMC apoptosis. Furthermore, the expression of miR‐629 was up‐regulated, and the expression of FOXO3 and PERP mRNA was down‐regulated in the plasma from PAH patients when compared to healthy controls. In conclusion, the present study provided evidence regarding the novel role of miR‐629 in regulating cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis of HPASMCs during hypoxia. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators in the tumour growth and metastasis of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Increasing evidence suggests that miR‐301b‐3p functions as a driver in various types of human cancer. However, the expression pattern of miR‐301b‐3p and its functional role as well as underlying molecular mechanism in HCC remain poorly known. Our study found that miR‐301b‐3p expression was significantly up‐regulated in HCC tissues compared to adjacent non‐tumour tissues. Clinical association analysis revealed that the high level of miR‐301b‐3p closely correlated with large tumour size and advanced tumour‐node‐metastasis stages. Importantly, the high miR‐301b‐3p level predicted a prominent poorer overall survival of HCC patients. Knockdown of miR‐301b‐3p suppressed cell proliferation, led to cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and induced apoptosis of Huh7 and Hep3B cells. Furthermore, miR‐301b‐3p knockdown suppressed tumour growth of HCC in mice. Mechanistically, miR‐301b‐3p directly bond to 3′UTR of vestigial like family member 4 (VGLL4) and negatively regulated its expression. The expression of VGLL4 mRNA was down‐regulated and inversely correlated with miR‐301b‐3p level in HCC tissues. Notably, VGLL4 knockdown markedly repressed cell proliferation, resulted in G2/M phase arrest and promoted apoptosis of HCC cells. Accordingly, VGLL4 silencing rescued miR‐301b‐3p knockdown attenuated HCC cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and apoptosis resistance. Collectively, our results suggest that miR‐301b‐3p is highly expressed in HCC. miR‐301b‐3p facilitates cell proliferation, promotes cell cycle progression and inhibits apoptosis of HCC cells by repressing VGLL4. 相似文献

Accumulating studies supported that lncRNAs played important roles in tumorigenesis. LncRNA HOXA11‐AS was a novel lncRNA that has been proved to involved in several tumours. However, the role of HOXA11‐AS in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains to be explained. In our study, we showed that HOXA11‐AS expression was up‐regulated in the HCC tissues, and the higher expression of HOXA11‐AS was associated with the advanced stage in the HCC samples. In addition, we indicated that the expression of HOXA11‐AS was up‐regulated in HCC cell lines (Hep3B, SMMC‐7721, MHCC97‐H and BEL‐7402) compared with normal liver cell lines (HL‐7702). Overexpression of HOXA11‐AS promoted HCC proliferation and invasion and induced the epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) and knockdown of HOXA11‐AS suppressed the HCC cell proliferation and invasion. However, we showed that miR‐214‐3p expression was down‐regulated in the HCC tissues and cell lines. Ectopic expression of miR‐214‐3p suppressed HCC cell proliferation and invasion. Furthermore, we indicated that overexpression of HOXA11‐AS decreased the miR‐214‐3p expression and the expression of miR‐214‐3p was negatively related with the HOXA11‐AS expression in HCC samples. Ectopic expression of HOXA11‐AS increased HCC proliferation and invasion and induced EMT through inhibiting miR‐214‐3p expression. These data suggested that HOXA11‐AS/miR‐214‐3p axis was responsible for development of HCC. 相似文献

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection plays a crucial role and is a major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in China. microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key players in hepatic steatosis and carcinogenesis. We found that down‐regulation of miR‐384 expression was a common event in HCC, especially HBV‐related HCC. However, the possible function of miR‐384 in HBV‐related HCC remains unclear. The oncogene pleiotrophin (PTN) was a target of miR‐384. HBx inhibited miR‐384, increasing PTN expression. The PTN receptor N‐syndecan was highly expressed in HCC. PTN induced by HBx acted as a growth factor via N‐syndecan on hepatocytes and further promoted cell proliferation, metastasis and lipogenesis. PTN up‐regulated sterol regulatory element‐binding protein 1c (SREBP‐1c) through the N‐syndecan/PI3K/Akt/mTORC1 pathway and the expression of lipogenic genes, including fatty acid synthesis (FAS). PTN‐mediated de novo lipid synthesis played an important role in HCC proliferation and metastasis. PI3K/AKT and an mTORC1 inhibitor diminished PTN‐induced proliferation, metastasis and lipogenesis. Taken together, these data strongly suggest that the dysregulation of miR‐384 could play a crucial role in HBV related to HCC, and the target gene of miR‐384, PTN, represents a new potential therapeutic target for the prevention of hepatic steatosis and further progression to HCC after chronic HBV infection. 相似文献

Increasing studies have confirmed that abnormally expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) take part in the carcinogenesis as well as the aggravation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, little information is currently available about miR‐1914 in HCC. Here, we first confirmed that miR‐1914 inhibition in HCC cell lines and tumour specimens correlates with tumour size and histological grade. In a series of functional experiments, miR‐1914 inhibited tumour proliferation and colony formation, resulting in cell cycle arrest and increased apoptosis. Moreover, miR‐1914 mediated its functional effects by directly targeting GPR39 in HCC cells, leading to PI3K/AKT/mTOR repression. Restoring GPR39 expression incompletely counteracted the physiological roles of miR‐1914 in HCC cells. In addition, down‐regulation of AKT phosphorylation inhibited the effects of miR‐1914 in HCC. Furthermore, the overexpression of lncRNA DUXAP10 negatively correlated with the expression of miR‐1914 in HCC; thus, lncRNA DUXAP10 regulated miR‐1914 expression and modulated the GPR39/PI3K/AKT‐mediated cellular behaviours. In summary, the present study demonstrated for the first time that lncRNA DUXAP10–regulated miR‐1914 plays a functional role in inhibiting HCC progression by targeting GPR39‐mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, and this miRNA represents a novel therapeutic target for patients with HCC. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to play a key role in drug resistance. In the current study, we aimed to explore the potential role of miR‐126 in trastuzumab resistance in breast cancer cells. We found that the trastuzumab‐resistant cell lines SKBR3/TR and BT474/TR had low expression of miR‐126 and increased ability to migrate and invade. The resistance, invasion and mobilization abilities of the cells resistant to trastuzumab were reduced by ectopic expression of miR‐126 mimics. In comparison, inhibition of miR‐126 in SKBR3 parental cells had the opposite effect of an increased resistance to trastuzumab as well as invasion and migration. It was also found that miR‐126 directly targets PIK3R2 in breast cancer cells. PIK3R2‐knockdown cells showed decreased resistance to trastuzumab, while overexpression of PIK3R2 increased trastuzumab resistance. In addition, our finding showed that overexpression of miR‐126 reduced resistance to trastuzumab in the trastuzumab‐resistant cells and that inhibition of the PIK3R2/PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway was involved in this effect. SKBR3/TR cells also showed increased sensitivity to trastuzumab mediated by miR‐126 in vivo. In conclusion, the above findings demonstrated that overexpression of miR‐126 or down‐regulation of its target gene may be a potential approach to overcome trastuzumab resistance in breast cancer cells. 相似文献

Long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) deleted in lymphocytic leukaemia 1 (DLEU1) was reported to be involved in the occurrence and development of multiple cancers. However, the exact expression, biological function and underlying mechanism of DLEU1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. In this study, real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) in HCC tissues and cell lines revealed that DLEU1 expression was up‐regulated, and the increased DLEU1 was closely associated with advanced tumour‐node‐metastasis stage, vascular metastasis and poor overall survival. Function experiments showed that knockdown of DLEU1 significantly inhibited HCC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion, and suppressed epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) process via increasing the expression of E‐cadherin and decreasing the expression of N‐cadherin and Vimentin. Luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay demonstrated that DLEU1 could sponge miR‐133a. Moreover, miR‐133a inhibition significantly reversed the suppression effects of DLEU1 knockdown on HCC cells. Besides, we found that silenced DLEU1 significantly decreased insulin‐like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF‐1R) expression (a target of miR‐133a) and its downstream signal PI3K/AKT pathway in HCC cells, while miR‐133a inhibitor partially reversed this trend. Furthermore, DLEU1 knockdown impaired tumour growth in vivo by regulating miR‐133a/IGF‐1R axis. Collectively, these findings indicate that DLEU1 promoted HCC progression by sponging miR‐133a to regulate IGF‐1R expression. Deleted in lymphocytic leukaemia 1/miR‐133a/IGF‐1R axis may be a novel target for treatment of HCC. 相似文献

EGFR-TKI靶向治疗在非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)综合治疗中显示出重要作用;然而,耐药性却极大限制其临床治疗效果。受体酪氨酸激酶样孤儿受体(receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1, ROR1)是I型受体酪氨酸激酶家族中的成员,在肿瘤发生发展中发挥重要作用。本研究拟探讨ROR1介导非小细胞肺癌吉非替尼耐药的作用及机制。采用吉非替尼反复诱导非小细胞肺癌HCC827细胞,建立吉非替尼耐药细胞株HCC827/GR。应用荧光定量PCR和Western 印迹检测HCC827/GR内ROR1的表达。采用shRNA的方法体外检测ROR1敲除前后HCC827/GR对吉非替尼耐药的变化,采用体外检测ROR1过表达前后HCC827对吉非替尼耐药的变化。体内检测ROR1敲除前后HCC827/GR对吉非替尼耐药的变化。Western 印迹检测HCC827/GR内ROR1下游信号分子的活化。实时荧光定量PCR及Western 印迹结果显示,HCC827/GR耐药细胞中的ROR1 mRNA和蛋白质表达水平显著高于HCC827敏感细胞。体外干扰ROR1表达,可明显增强HCC827/GR耐药细胞对吉非替尼的敏感性 (IC50 15.3±3.69 vs. 4.2±1.38),增加吉非替尼诱导的细胞凋亡 (20.5±2.52 vs. 41.8±3.74)。体外过表达ROR1显著增强HCC827敏感细胞对吉非替尼的耐药性(IC50 0.8±0.52 vs. 2.2±0.87)。体内裸鼠移植瘤实验同样发现,干扰ROR1能增强HCC827/GR移植瘤对吉非替尼的敏感性。进一步研究发现,AKT/FOXO1信号在HCC827/GR耐药细胞中异常活化,而干扰ROR1能够抑制AKT的磷酸化,并上调FOXO1的表达。上述结果表明,ROR1参与非小细胞肺癌吉非替尼耐药,抑制ROR1能够逆转吉非替尼耐药,其机制与ROR1调控AKT/FOXO1信号有关。 相似文献

Drug resistance occurs commonly in cancers, especially in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in tumour chemoresistance. However, little is known about the role of miR‐383 in HCC chemoresistance. In the present study, RT‐PCR and western blotting were used to identify the expression profile of miR‐383 and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 (EIF5A2). The bioinformatics website Targetscan was used to predict the target genes of miR‐383. In vitro and in vivo loss‐ and gain‐of‐function studies were performed to reveal the effects and potential mechanism of the miR‐383/EIF5A2 axis in chemoresistance of HCC cells. The expression level of miR‐383 correlated negatively with doxorubicin (Dox) sensitivity. Overexpression of miR‐383 promoted HCC cells to undergo Dox‐induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis, whereas miR‐383 knockdown had the opposite effects. EIF5A2 was predicted as a target gene of miR‐383. EIF5A2 knockdown sensitized HCC cells to Dox. Moreover, miR‐383 inhibition‐mediated HCC Dox resistance could be reversed by silencing EIF5A2. Finally, we demonstrated that miR‐383 inhibition could enhance Dox sensitivity by targeting EIF5A2 in vivo. The results indicated that miR‐383 inhibited Dox resistance in HCC cells by targeting EIF5A2. Targeting the miR‐383/EIF5A2 axis might help to alleviate the chemoresistance of HCC cells. 相似文献

MiRNAs are fine‐tuning modifiers of skeletal muscle regulation, but knowledge of their hormonal control is lacking. We used a co‐twin case–control study design, that is, monozygotic postmenopausal twin pairs discordant for estrogen‐based hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to explore estrogen‐dependent skeletal muscle regulation via miRNAs. MiRNA profiles were determined from vastus lateralis muscle of nine healthy 54–62‐years‐old monozygotic female twin pairs discordant for HRT (median 7 years). MCF‐7 cells, human myoblast cultures and mouse muscle experiments were used to confirm estrogen's causal role on the expression of specific miRNAs, their target mRNAs and proteins and finally the activation of related signaling pathway. Of the 230 miRNAs expressed at detectable levels in muscle samples, qPCR confirmed significantly lower miR‐182, miR‐223 and miR‐142‐3p expressions in HRT using than in their nonusing co‐twins. Insulin/IGF‐1 signaling emerged one common pathway targeted by these miRNAs. IGF‐1R and FOXO3A mRNA and protein were more abundantly expressed in muscle samples of HRT users than nonusers. In vitro assays confirmed effective targeting of miR‐182 and miR‐223 on IGF‐1R and FOXO3A mRNA as well as a dose‐dependent miR‐182 and miR‐223 down‐regulations concomitantly with up‐regulation of FOXO3A and IGF‐1R expression. Novel finding is the postmenopausal HRT‐reduced miRs‐182, miR‐223 and miR‐142‐3p expression in female skeletal muscle. The observed miRNA‐mediated enhancement of the target genes' IGF‐1R and FOXO3A expression as well as the activation of insulin/IGF‐1 pathway signaling via phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR is an important mechanism for positive estrogen impact on skeletal muscle of postmenopausal women. 相似文献

The current study elucidated the role of a long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA), FOXD2‐AS1, in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the regulatory mechanism underlying FOXD2‐AS1/miR‐150‐5p/transmembrane protein 9 (TMEM9) signalling in HCC. Microarray analysis was used for preliminary screening of candidate lncRNAs in HCC tissues. qRT‐PCR and Western blot analyses were used to detect the expression of FOXD2‐AS1. Cell proliferation assays, luciferase assay and RNA immunoprecipitation were performed to examine the mechanism by which FOXD2‐AS1 mediates sorafenib resistance in HCC cells. FOXD2‐AS1 and TMEM9 were significantly decreased and miR‐150‐5p was increased in SR‐HepG2 and SR‐HUH7 cells compared with control parental cells. Overexpression of FOXD2‐AS1 increased TMEM9 expression and overcame the resistance of SR‐HepG2 and SR‐HUH7 cells. Conversely, knockdown of FOXD2‐AS1 decreased TMEM9 expression and increased the sensitivity of HepG2 and Huh7 cells to sorafenib. Our data also demonstrated that FOXD2‐AS1 functioned as a sponge for miR‐150‐5p to modulate TMEM9 expression. Taken together, our findings revealed that FOXD2‐AS1 is an important regulator of TMEM9 and contributed to sorafenib resistance. Thus, FOXD2‐AS1 may serve as a therapeutic target against sorafenib resistance in HCC. 相似文献
