Hypoxia‐inducible factor‐2α (HIF‐2α) plays an important role in increasing cancer progression and distant metastasis in a variety of tumour types. We aimed to investigate its biological function and clinical significance in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). A total of 283 paired PDAC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected from patients who underwent surgery or biopsy at Sun Yat‐sen Memorial Hospital between February 2004 and October 2016. In this study, we noted that HIF‐2α expression was significantly up‐regulated in PDAC, positively associated with disease stage, lymph‐node metastasis and patient survival, and identified as an independent prognostic factor of PDAC patients. We demonstrated that HIF‐2α silencing could reduce proliferation, migration and invasion of PDAC cells in vitro. The similar effect on growth was demonstrated in vivo. Furthermore, we noted that knock‐down of HIF‐2α significantly decreased the expression of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase 1 (GOT1). Importantly, we confirmed that the PI3K/mTORC2 pathway promoted GOT1 expression by targeting HIF‐2α. Our study validated HIF‐2α was an important factor in PDAC progression and poor prognosis and may promote non‐canonical glutamine metabolism via activation of PI3K/mTORC2 pathway. Targeting HIF‐2α represents a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for patients with PDAC. 相似文献

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a common malignancy originated from the digestive system worldwide, has a poor clinical outcome. SPOCK1 is a widely investigated member of the Ca2+-binding proteoglycan family and functions as an essential driver in several cancers. However, the complex regulatory role of SPOCK1 in PDAC is unclear. Bioinformatics analysis predicted an interrelationship between increased SPOCK1 expression and the clinical characteristics of patients with PDAC. The SPOCK1 expression levels in fresh tissue samples were confirmed, and SPOCK1 expression was then knocked down by lentivirus-mediated short hairpin RNA. Cell proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis were detected through Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation assays, invasion and migration assays, flow cytometric analysis, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot experiment. On the basis of the Cancer Genome Atlas database, we found a significantly higher level of SPOCK1 in PDAC than in adjacent nontumor tissues. Patients with PDAC with high SPOCK1 expression exhibited shorter overall survival time, as well as disease-free survival time. The knockdown of SPOCK1 significantly decreased the proliferation and metastasis of PCNA-1 and MIA PaCa-2 cells. Moreover, the knockdown of SPOCK1 led to cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase and increased the proportion of apoptotic PDAC cells by regulating members of the caspase and Bcl-2 families. Our data proved that SPOCK1 is a critical regulator of tumor proliferation and metastasis in PDAC cells. Therefore, SPOCK1 might be a potential prognostic and therapeutic target molecule in PDAC. 相似文献

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a novel class of regulators in multiple cancer biological processes. However, the functions of lncRNAs in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we identified PWAR6 as a frequently down-regulated lncRNA in PDAC samples as well as a panel of pancreatic cancer cell lines. Down-regulated PWAR6 was associated with multiple clinical outcomes, including advanced tumour stage, distant metastasis, and overall survival of PDAC patients. In our cell-based assays, ectopic expression of PWAR6 dramatically repressed PDAC cells proliferation, invasion and migration, accelerated apoptosis, and induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. In contrast, depletion of PWAR6 mediated by siRNA exhibited opposite effects on PDAC cell behaviours. In vivo study further validated the anti-tumour role of PWAR6 in PDAC. By taking advantage of available online sources, we also identified YAP1 as a potential PWAR6 target gene. Negative correlation between YAP1 and PWAR6 expressions were observed in both online database and our PDAC samples. Notably, rescue experiments further indicated that YAP1 is an important downstream effector involved in PWAR6-mediated functions. Mechanistically, PWAR6 could bind to methyltransferase EZH2, a core component of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) in regulating gene expression, and scaffold EZH2 to the promoter region of YAP1, resulting in epigenetic repression of YAP1. In conclusion, our data manifest the vital roles of PWAR6 in PDAC tumorigenesis and underscore the potential of PWAR6 as a promising target for PDAC diagnosis and therapy. 相似文献

Ubiquitin‐specific protease 19 (USP19) belongs to USP family and is involved in promoting skeletal muscle atrophy. Although USP19 is expressed in the heart, the role of USP19 in the heart disease remains unknown. The present study provides in vivo and in vitro data to reveal the role of USP19 in preventing pathological cardiac hypertrophy. We generated USP19‐knockout mice and isolated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) that overexpressed or were deficient in USP19 to investigate the effect of USP19 on transverse aortic constriction (TAC) or phenylephrine (PE)‐mediated cardiac hypertrophy. Echocardiography, pathological and molecular analysis were used to determine the extent of cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, dysfunction and inflammation. USP19 expression was markedly increased in rodent hypertrophic heart or cardiomyocytes underwent TAC or PE culturing, the increase was mediated by the reduction of Seven In Absentia Homolog‐2. The extent of TAC‐induced cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, dysfunction and inflammation in USP19‐knockout mice was exacerbated. Consistently, gain‐of‐function and loss‐of‐function approaches that involved USP19 in cardiomyocytes suggested that the down‐regulation of USP19 promoted the hypertrophic phenotype, while the up‐regulation of USP19 improved the worsened phenotype. Mechanistically, the USP19‐elicited cardiac hypertrophy improvement was attributed to the abrogation of the transforming growth factor beta‐activated kinase 1 (TAK1)‐p38/JNK1/2 transduction. Furthermore, the inhibition of TAK1 abolished the aggravated hypertrophy induced by the loss of USP19. In conclusion, the present study revealed that USP19 and the downstream of TAK1‐p38/JNK1/2 signalling pathway might be a potential target to attenuate pathological cardiac hypertrophy. 相似文献

Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play a critical role in fibrogenesis during alcoholic chronic pancreatitis (ACP). Transforming growth factor‐beta1 (TGF‐β1) is a key regulator of extracellular matrix production and PSC activation. Endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been recognized as a trigger factor in the pathogenesis of ACP. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms by which LPS modulates TGF‐β1 signalling and pancreatic fibrosis. Sprague‐Dawley rats fed with a Lieber‐DeCarli alcohol (ALC) liquid diet for 10 weeks with or without LPS challenge during the last 3 weeks. In vitro studies were performed using rat macrophages (Mφs) and PSCs (RP‐2 cell line). The results showed that repeated LPS challenge resulted in significantly more collagen production and PSC activation compared to rats fed with ALC alone. LPS administration caused overexpression of pancreatic TLR4 or TGF‐β1 which was paralleled by an increased number of TLR4‐positive or TGF‐β1‐positive Mφs or PSCs in ALC‐fed rats. In vitro, TLR4 or TGF‐β1 production in Mφs or RP‐2 cells was up‐regulated by LPS. LPS alone or in combination with TGF‐β1 significantly increased type I collagen and α‐SMA production and Smad2 and 3 phosphorylation in serum‐starved RP‐2 cells. TGF‐β pseudoreceptor BAMBI production was repressed by LPS, which was antagonized by Si‐TLR4 RNA or by inhibitors of MyD88/NF‐kB. Additionally, knockdown of Bambi with Si‐Bambi RNA significantly increased TGF‐β1 signalling in RP‐2 cells. These findings indicate that LPS increases TGF‐β1 production through paracrine and autocrine mechanisms and that LPS enhances TGF‐β1 signalling in PSCs by repressing BAMBI via TLR4/MyD88/NF‐kB activation. 相似文献

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an invasive and aggressive cancer that remains a major threat to human health across the globe. Despite advances in cancer treatments and diagnosis, the prognosis of PDAC patients remains poor. New and more effective PDAC therapies are therefore urgently required. In this study, we identified a novel host factor, namely the LncRNA TP73-AS1, as overexpressed in PDAC tissues compared to adjacent healthy tissue samples. The overexpression of TP-73-AS1 was found to correlate with both PDAC stage and lymph node metastasis. To reveal its role in PDCA, we targeted TP73-AS1 using LnRNA inhibitors in a range of pancreatic cancer (PC) cell lines. We found that the inhibition of TP73-AS1 led to a loss of MMP14 expression in PC cells and significantly inhibited their migratory and invasive capacity. No effects of TP73-AS1 on cell survival or proliferation were observed. Mechanistically, we found that TP73-AS1 suppressed the expression of the known oncogenic miR-200a. Taken together, these data highlight the prognostic potential of TP73-AS1 for PC patients and highlight it as a potential anti-PDAC therapeutic target. 相似文献

Caveolin‐1 (Cav‐1) is the principal structural component of caveolae, and its dysregulation occurs in cancer. However, the role of Cav‐1 in pancreatic cancer (PDAC) tumorigenesis and metabolism is largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) Cav‐1 on PDAC metabolism and aggression. We found that Cav‐1 is expressed at low levels in PDAC stroma and that the loss of stromal Cav‐1 is associated with poor survival. In PSCs, knockdown of Cav‐1 promoted the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), while ROS production further reduced the expression of Cav‐1. Positive feedback occurs in Cav‐1‐ROS signalling in PSCs, which promotes PDAC growth and induces stroma‐tumour metabolic coupling in PDAC. In PSCs, positive feedback in Cav‐1‐ROS signalling induced a shift in energy metabolism to glycolysis, with up‐regulated expression of glycolytic enzymes (hexokinase 2 (HK‐2), 6‐phosphofructokinase (PFKP) and pyruvate kinase isozyme type M2 (PKM2)) and transporter (Glut1) expression and down‐regulated expression of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) enzymes (translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 (TOMM20) and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase [quinone] 1 (NQO1)). These events resulted in high levels of glycolysis products such as lactate, which was secreted by up‐regulated monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) in PSCs. Simultaneously, PDAC cells took up these glycolysis products (lactate) through up‐regulated MCT1 to undergo OXPHOS, with down‐regulated expression of glycolytic enzymes (HK‐2, PFKP and PKM2) and up‐regulated expression of OXPHOS enzymes (TOMM20 and NQO1). Interrupting the metabolic coupling between the stroma and tumour cells may be an effective method for tumour therapy. 相似文献

The large tumour suppressor 1 (LATS1) signalling network has been proved to be an essential regulator within the cell, participating in multiple cellular phenotypes. However, it is unclear concerning the clinical significance of LATS1 and the regulatory mechanisms of 17‐Allylamino‐17‐ demethoxygeldanamycin (17‐AAG) in lung adenocarcinoma (LAC). The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation of LATS1 and yes‐associated protein (YAP) expression with clinicopathological characteristics in LAC patients, and the effects of 17‐AAG on biological behaviours of LAC cells. Subcutaneous LAC tumour models were further established to observe the tumour growth in nude mice. The results showed that the positive expression of LATS1 was significantly lowered (26.7% versus 68.0%, P < 0.001), while that of YAP was elevated (76.0% versus 56.0%, P = 0.03) in LAC tissues compared to the adjacent non‐cancerous tissues; LAST1 expression was negatively correlated with YAP expression (r = 0.432, P < 0.001) and lymphatic invasion of the tumour (P = 0.015). In addition, 17‐AAG inhibited proliferation and invasion, and induced cell apoptosis and cycle arrest in LAC cells together with increased expression of E‐cadherin and p‐LATS1, and decreased expression of YAP and connective tissue growth factor. Tumour volumes and weight were much smaller in 17‐AAG‐treated groups than those in untreated group (P < 0.01). Taken together, our findings indicate that decreased expression of LATS1 is associated with lymphatic invasion of LAC, and 17‐AAG suppresses growth and invasion of LAC cells via regulation of the LATS1/YAP pathway in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that we may provide a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of human LAC. 相似文献

The role of caveolin‐1 (CAV1) in cancer is highly controversial. CAV1 suppresses genes that favor tumor development, yet also promotes focal adhesion turnover and migration of metastatic cells. How these contrasting observations relate to CAV1 function in vivo is unclear. Our previous studies implicate E‐cadherin in CAV1‐dependent tumor suppression. Here, we use murine melanoma B16F10 cells, with low levels of endogenous CAV1 and E‐cadherin, to unravel how CAV1 affects tumor growth and metastasis and to assess how co‐expression of E‐cadherin modulates CAV1 function in vivo in C57BL/6 mice. We find that overexpression of CAV1 in B16F10 (cav‐1) cells reduces subcutaneous tumor formation, but enhances metastasis relative to control cells. Furthermore, E‐cadherin expression in B16F10 (E‐cad) cells reduces subcutaneous tumor formation and lung metastasis when intravenously injected. Importantly, co‐expression of CAV1 and E‐cadherin in B16F10 (cav‐1/E‐cad) cells abolishes tumor formation, lung metastasis, increased Rac‐1 activity, and cell migration observed with B16F10 (cav‐1) cells. Finally, consistent with the notion that CAV1 participates in switching human melanomas to a more malignant phenotype, elevated levels of CAV1 expression correlated with enhanced migration and Rac‐1 activation in these cells. 相似文献

Recent studies have showed that α5 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α5‐nAChR) is closely associated with nicotine‐related lung cancer. Our previous studies also demonstrated that α5‐nAChR mediates nicotine‐induced lung carcinogenesis. However, the mechanism by which α5‐nAChR functions in lung carcinogenesis remains to be elucidated. Jab1/Csn5 is a key regulatory factor in smoking‐induced lung cancer. In this study, we explored the underlying mechanisms linking the α5‐nAChR‐Jab1/Csn5 axis with lung cancer epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis, which may provide potential therapeutic targets for future lung cancer treatments. Our results demonstrated that the expression of α5‐nAChR was correlated with the expression of Jab1/Csn5 in lung cancer tissues and lung cancer cells. α5‐nAChR expression is associated with Jab1/Csn5 expression in lung tumour xenografts in mice. In vitro, the expression of α5‐nAChR mediated Stat3 and Jab1/Csn5 expression, significantly regulating the expression of the EMT markers, N‐cadherin and Vimentin. In addition, the down‐regulation of α5‐nAChR or/and Stat3 reduced Jab1/Csn5 expression, while the silencing of α5‐nAChR or Jab1/Csn5 inhibited the migration and invasion of NSCLC cells. Mechanistically, α5‐nAChR contributes to EMT and metastasis by regulating Stat3‐Jab1/Csn5 signalling in NSCLC, suggesting that α5‐nAChR may be a potential target in NSCLC diagnosis and immunotherapy. 相似文献

SARI (suppressor of AP‐1, regulated by IFN) impaired tumour growth by promoting apoptosis and inhibiting cell proliferation and tumour angiogenesis in various cancers. However, the role of SARI in regulating tumour‐associated inflammation microenvironment is still elusive. In our study, the colitis‐dependent and ‐independent primary model were established in SARI deficiency mice and immuno‐reconstructive mice to investigate the functional role of SARI in regulating tumour‐associated inflammation microenvironment and primary colon cancer formation. The results have shown that SARI deficiency promotes colitis‐associated cancer (CAC) development only in the presence of colon inflammation. SARI inhibited tumour‐associated macrophages (TAM) infiltration in colon tissues, and SARI deficiency in bone marrow cells has no observed role in the promotion of intestinal tumorigenesis. Mechanism investigations indicated that SARI down‐regulates p‐STAT1 and STAT1 expression in colon cancer cells, following inhibition of MCP‐1/CCR2 axis activation during CAC development. Inverse correlations between SARI expression and macrophage infiltration, MCP‐1 expression and p‐STAT1 expression were also demonstrated in colon malignant tissues. Collectively, our results prove the inhibition role of SARI in colon cancer formation through regulating TAM infiltration. 相似文献

Paradoxically, not only proteinases but also their inhibitors can correlate with bad prognosis of cancer patients, underlining the evolving concept of the protease web as the complex interplay between proteinases, their inhibitors and effector molecules. Elevated levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases‐1 (TIMP‐1) render the liver more susceptible to metastasis by triggering urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) expression as well as hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) signalling, thereby leading to the fatal scattered infiltration of metastasizing tumour cells throughout the parenchyma of the target organ. Here, we investigated whether host uPA is a crucial protagonist for the TIMP‐1‐induced modulation of a pro‐metastatic microenvironment in the liver. Indeed, in livers of uPA‐ablated mice elevated TIMP‐1 levels did not trigger HGF signalling and did not promote metastasis of a murine T‐lymphoma cell line. In contrast, lack of tumour cell‐derived uPA induced by gene silencing did not interfere with this pro‐metastatic pathway. Furthermore, host uPA was necessary for the recruitment of neutrophilic granulocytes and the associated increase of HGF in livers with elevated TIMP‐1 levels. This newly identified co‐operation between TIMP‐1 and host uPA suggests that therapies, simultaneously interfering with pro‐ and anti‐proteolytic pathways may be beneficial for patients with metastatic disease. 相似文献

Evidence has indicated that M2 macrophages promote the progression of cancers, but few focus on the ability of M2 macrophage‐derived exosomes in pancreatic cancer (PC). This study aims to explore how M2 macrophages affect malignant phenotypes of PC through regulating long non‐coding RNA SET‐binding factor 2 antisense RNA 1 (lncRNA SBF2‐AS1)/microRNA‐122‐5p (miR‐122‐5p)/X‐linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) axis. THP‐1 cells were transformed into M1 macrophages by lipopolysaccharide and interferon‐γ treatment, and into M2 macrophages after interleukin‐4 treatment. The PANC‐1 PC cell line with the largest lncRNA SBF2‐AS1 expression was selected, and M2 macrophage‐derived exosomes were isolated and identified. A number of assays were applied for the examination of lncRNA SBF2‐AS1 expression, PC cell biological functions and subcellular localization of lncRNA SBF2‐AS1. XIAP expression was detected, along with the interaction among lncRNA SBF2‐AS1, miR‐122‐5p and XIAP. M2 macrophage exosomal lncRNA SBF2‐AS1 expression's effects on the tumorigenic ability of PANC‐1 cells in nude mice were also investigated. M2 macrophage‐derived exosomes promoted progression of PC cells. Overexpressed lncRNA SBF2‐AS1 promoted progression of PC cells. LncRNA SBF2‐AS1 was found to act as a competing endogenous RNA to repress miR‐122‐5p and up‐regulate XIAP. Constrained lncRNA SBF2‐AS1 in M2 macrophage‐derived exosomes contributed to restraining tumorigenic ability of PC cells. Collectively, our study reveals that constrained lncRNA SBF2‐AS1 in M2 macrophage‐derived exosomes increases miR‐122‐5p expression to restrain XIAP expression, which further inhibits PC progression. 相似文献

Glioma is the most common brain tumor malignancy with high mortality and poor prognosis. Emerging evidence suggests that cancer stem cells are the key culprit in the development of cancer. MicroRNAs have been reported to be dysregulated in many cancers, while the mechanism underlying miR‐150‐5p in glioma progression and proportion of stem cells is unclear. The expression levels of miR‐150‐5p and catenin beta 1 (CTNNB1, which encodes β‐catenin) were measured by quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) and western blot. The expression levels of downstream genes of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway and stem cell markers were detected by qRT‐PCR. Tumorigenesis was investigated by cell viability, colony formation, and tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. The interaction between miR‐150‐5p and β‐catenin was explored via bioinformatics analysis and luciferase activity assay. We found that miR‐150‐5p was downregulated in glioma and its overexpression inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, and tumor growth. Moreover, miR‐150‐5p directly suppressed CTNNB1 and negatively regulated the abundances of downstream genes of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway and stem cell markers. Furthermore, miR‐150‐5p expression was decreased and β‐catenin level was enhanced in CD133+ glioma stem cells. Knockdown of miR‐150‐5p contributed to CD133? cells with stem cell‐like phenotype, whereas overexpression of miR‐150‐5p suppressed CD133+ glioma stem cell‐like characteristics. In conclusion, miR‐150‐5p inhibited the progression of glioma by controlling stem cell‐like characteristics via regulating the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway, providing a novel target for glioma treatment. 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

Mutations in PINK1 and PARKIN cause recessive, early‐onset Parkinson's disease (PD). Together, these two proteins orchestrate a protective mitophagic response that ensures the safe disposal of damaged mitochondria. The kinase PINK1 phosphorylates ubiquitin (Ub) at the conserved residue S65, in addition to modifying the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin. The structural and functional consequences of Ub phosphorylation (pS65‐Ub) have already been suggested from in vitro experiments, but its (patho‐)physiological significance remains unknown. We have generated novel antibodies and assessed pS65‐Ub signals in vitro and in cells, including primary neurons, under endogenous conditions. pS65‐Ub is dependent on PINK1 kinase activity as confirmed in patient fibroblasts and postmortem brain samples harboring pathogenic mutations. We show that pS65‐Ub is reversible and barely detectable under basal conditions, but rapidly induced upon mitochondrial stress in cells and amplified in the presence of functional Parkin. pS65‐Ub accumulates in human brain during aging and disease in the form of cytoplasmic granules that partially overlap with mitochondrial, lysosomal, and total Ub markers. Additional studies are now warranted to further elucidate pS65‐Ub functions and fully explore its potential for biomarker or therapeutic development. 相似文献
