MicroRNA-429 induces tumorigenesis of human non-small cell lung cancer cells and targets multiple tumor suppressor genes

Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer death globally. MicroRNAs are evolutionally conserved small noncoding RNAs that are critical for the regulation of gene expression. Aberrant expression of microRNA (miRNA) has been implicated in cancer initiation and progression. In this study, we demonstrated that the expression of miR-429 are often upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared with normal lung tissues, and its expression level is also increased in NSCLC cell lines compared with normal lung cells. Overexpression of miR-429 in A549 NSCLC cells significantly promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion, whereas inhibition of miR-429 inhibits these effects. Furthermore, we demonstrated that miR-429 down-regulates PTEN, RASSF8 and TIMP2 expression by directly targeting the 3′-untranslated region of these target genes. Taken together, our results suggest that miR-429 plays an important role in promoting the proliferation and metastasis of NSCLC cells and is a potential target for NSCLC therapy.     

Effects of microRNA-513b on cell proliferation,apoptosis, invasion,and migration by targeting HMGB3 through regulation of mTOR signaling pathway in non-small-cell lung cancer

This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of miR-513b and HMGB3 in regulating non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC tumor, adjacent tissues, and cell lines were extracted, and the expression of miR-513b and HMGB3 were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot analysis. Then, miR-513b was overexpressed in NSCLC cell, and the proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of cells were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), wound healing, transwell, and flow cytometry, respectively. Regulatory relationship between miR-513b and HMGB3 was determined using luciferase activity reporter assay. Lastly, HMGB3 and/or miR-513b were overexpressed in NSCLC cells, and the proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of cells were determined. Compared with the controls, the expression of miR-513b was significantly downregulated in the NSCLC tissues and cells lines by RT-qPCR ( p < 0.05). However, the expression of HMGB3 was significantly downregulated at both messenger RNA and protein levels ( p < 0.05). Overexpression of miR-513b could significantly inhibit the proliferation, invasion, migration, and promote apoptosis of NSCLC cells ( p < 0.05). HMGB3 was a target of miR-513b, and overexpression of HMGB3 could obviously reverse the effect of miR-513 on the proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis of NSCLC cells ( p < 0.05). The present results could suggest miR-513b was downregulated in NSCLC and could regulate the proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis of NSCLC cells via HMGB3.     

miR-497-5p inhibits tumor cell growth and invasion by targeting SOX5 in non–small-cell lung cancer

MicroRNAs plays an important role in the ccurrence and development of non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). miR-497-5p has been reported to function as a tumor suppressor in various cancers. However, the role of miR-497-5p in NSCLC remains poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the biological role and potential molecular mechanism of miR-497-5p in NSCLC. Our results showed that the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression level of miR-497-5p was notably downregulated in human NSCLC tissues and cell lines. miR-497-5p overexpression remarkably inhibited NSCLC cell proliferation and increased cell apoptosis in A549 and H460 cells, whereas inhibition of miR-497-5p had an opposite effect. The ability of cell migration and invasion was inhibited by miR-497-5p overexpression but was increased by miR-497-5p inhibition. Moreover, our findings indicated that SOX5 was a direct target of miR-497-5p. The protein and mRNA expression levels of SOX5 in A549 cells were remarkably inhibited by miR-497-5p overexpression but was upregulated by miR-497-5p inhibition. Furthermore, SOX5 overexpression notably reversed the effect of miR-497-5p mimic on NSCLC cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, cell migration, and invasion. Taken together, these results indicated that miR-497-5p overexpression inhibited NSCLC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced cell apoptosis through inhibiting SOX5 gene expression. It was conceivable that miR-497-5p might serve as a potential molecular target for NSCLC treatment.     

Inhibition of miR-92b suppresses nonsmall cell lung cancer cells growth and motility by targeting RECK

microRNAs play critical roles in the progression and metastasis of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). miR-92b acts as an oncogene in some malignancies; however, its role in NSCLC remains poorly understood. Here, we found that miR-92b was significantly increased in human NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Inhibition of miR-92b remarkably suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells. Reversion-inducing-cysteine-rich protein with kazal motifs (RECK) was identified to be a target of miR-92b. Expression of miR-92b was negatively correlated with RECK in NSCLC tissues. Collectively, miR-92b might promote NSCLC cell growth and motility partially by inhibiting RECK.     

miR-210 promotes lung adenocarcinoma proliferation,migration, and invasion by targeting lysyl oxidase-like 4

Accumulating evidence has revealed that various microRNAs are deregulated and involved in lung cancer development and metastasis. miR-210 is implicated in several cancer progression. However, the detailed biological function and role of miR-210 in lung adenocarcinoma remains unclear. Our current study was aimed to investigate the mechanism of miR-210 in lung adenocarcinoma progression. We observed that miR-210 was significantly upregulated in lung cancer cell lines (A549 and H1650) in comparison to BEAS-2B cells. In addition, we found that miR-210 was greatly elevated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues. Then, it was shown that overexpression of miR-210 was able to promote lung cancer cell proliferation and colony formation ability while inhibitors of miR-210 exhibited a reversed phenomenon. Subsequently, A549 and H1650 cell migration and invasion capacity were obviously restrained by miR-210 inhibition whereas induced by miR-210 mimics. Lysyl oxidase-like 4 (LOXL4), a member of the secreted copper-dependent amine oxidases has been found to be increased or decreased in different cancer types. Here, we confirmed that LOXL4 could serve as a downstream target of miR-210 and miR-210 promoted lung cancer progression via targeting LOXL4. In A549 and H1650 cells, knockdown of LOXL4 dramatically repressed lung cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In conclusion, our study implied that miR-210 might indicate a new perspective for lung cancer.

miR-137 impairs the proliferative and migratory capacity of human non-small cell lung cancer cells by targeting paxillin

Human lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer motility worldwide, with nearly 1.4 million deaths each year, among which non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for almost 85 % of this disease. The discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) provides a new avenue for NSCLC diagnostic and treatment regiments. Currently, a large number of miRNAs have been reported to be associated with the progression of NSCLC, among which serum miR-137 has been examined to be down-regulated in NSCLC patients. However, the function of miR-137 on NSCLC cells migration and invasion and the relative mechanisms were less known. Here, we found that ectopic expression of miR-137 could inhibit cell proliferation, induce cell apoptosis, and suppress cell migration and invasion in NSCLC cell line A549. Moreover, we found that paxillin (PXN) was a target gene of miR-137 in NSCLC cells and restored expression of PXN abolished the miR-137-mediated suppression of cell migration and invasion. Taken together, our results showed that miR-137 acted as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC by targeting PXN, and it may provide novel diagnostic and therapeutic options for human NSCLC clinical operation in future.     

MicroRNA-152 targets ADAM17 to suppress NSCLC progression

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that have been suggested to play an essential role in tumorigenesis. In this study, we show that miR-152 is significantly downregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and cell lines. Restoration of miR-152 significantly reduces proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion of NSCLC cells. In addition, ADAM metallopeptidase domain 17 (ADAM17) is identified as a target of miR-152 in NSCLC cells, and miR-152-induced suppression of cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion is partially mediated by silencing of ADAM17 expression. Furthermore, ADAM17 inversely correlates with miR-152 in NSCLC tissues. Collectively, our findings indicate that miR-152 acts as tumor suppressor in NSCLC partially via targeting ADAM17.

AIMP3 inhibits cell growth and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma through activating a miR-96-5p-AIMP3-p53 axis

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase-interacting multifunctional protein-3 (AIMP3) is a tumour suppressor, however, the roles of AIMP3 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are not explored yet. Here, we reported that AIMP3 significantly inhibited the cell growth and metastasis of NSCLC (lung adenocarcinoma) in vitro and in vivo. We have firstly identified that AIMP3 was down-regulated in human NSCLC tissues compared with adjacent normal lung tissues using immunohistochemistry and western blot assays. Overexpression of AIMP3 markedly suppressed the proliferation and migration of cancer cells in a p53-dependent manner. Furthermore, we observed that AIMP3 significantly suppressed tumour growth and metastasis of A549 cells in xenograft nude mice. Mechanically, we identified that AIMP3 was a direct target of miR-96-5p, and we also observed that there was a negative correlation between AIMP3 and miR-96-5p expression in paired NSCLC clinic samples. Ectopic miR-96-5p expression promoted the proliferation and migration of cancer cells in vitro and tumour growth and metastasis in vivo which partially depended on AIMP3. Taken together, our results demonstrated that the axis of miR-96-5p-AIMP3-p53 played an important role in lung adenocarcinoma, which may provide a new strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC.     

MicroRNA-217 Functions as a Tumour Suppressor Gene and Correlates with Cell Resistance to Cisplatin in Lung Cancer

MiR-217 can function as an oncogene or a tumour suppressor gene depending on cell type. However, the function of miR-217 in lung cancer remains unclear to date. This study aims to evaluate the function of miR-217 in lung cancer and investigate its effect on the sensitivity of lung cancer cells to cisplatin. The expression of miR-217 was detected in 100 patients by real-time PCR. The effects of miR-217 overexpression on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of SPC-A-1 and A549 cells were investigated. The target gene of miR-217 was predicted by Targetscan online software, screened by dual luciferase reporter gene assay and demonstrated by Western blot. Finally, the effects of miR-217 up-regulation on the sensitivity of A549 cells to cisplatin were determined. The expression of miR-217 was significantly lower in lung cancer tissues than in noncancerous tissues (p < 0.001). The overexpression of miR-217 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion as well as promoted the apoptosis of lung cancer cells by targeting KRAS. The up-regulation of miR-217 enhanced the sensitivity of SPC-A-1 and A549 cells to cisplatin. In conclusion, miR-217 suppresses tumour development in lung cancer by targeting KRAS and enhances cell sensitivity to cisplatin. Our results encourage researchers to use cisplatin in combination with miR-217 to treat lung cancer. This regime might lead to low-dose cisplatin application and cisplatin side-effect reduction.     

miR-96 downregulates RECK to promote growth and motility of non-small cell lung cancer cells

MicroRNAs play critical roles in the development and progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). miR-96 acts as an oncogene in some malignancies, while its role in NSCLC is unclear. Here, we validated that miR-96 was significantly increased in both human NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Inhibition of miR-96 expression remarkably reduced cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells. Reversion-inducing-cysteine-rich protein with kazal motifs (RECK) was identified as a target of miR-96 in NSCLC cells. In addition, the expression of RECK was found to be negatively correlated with the expression of miR-96 in NSCLC tissues. Our data suggest that miR-96 might promote the growth and motility of NSCLC cells partially by targeting RECK.     

MicroRNA-575靶向抑制BLID促进非小细胞肺癌细胞的增殖和侵袭

目的:通过体外实验探讨miR-575对非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)细胞增殖与侵袭能力的影响及相关机制。方法:采用实时定量PCR法检测不同非小细胞肺癌细胞系中miR-575、BLID的表达;CCK-8法检测转染miR-575模拟物、抑制因子后不同时间A549细胞增殖情况的变化;Transwell法检测A549细胞的侵袭情况;Targetcan法及双荧光素酶检测miR-575对BLID 3'UTR端的靶向作用;Western blot法检测BLID蛋白的表达。结果:A549、SPC-A1、H1299、H1650等人非小细胞肺癌细胞系中miR-575的表达均显著高于永生化的人支气管上皮细胞系16HBE(P0.001)。MiR-575模拟物转染的A549细胞miR-575的表达明显高于对照组(P0.001),同时细胞的增殖和侵袭力增强(P0.05);反之,miR-575抑制因子转染的A549细胞miR-575的表达显著降低,且细胞的增殖和侵袭力明显降低(P0.01)。Targetscan法预测BLID可能是miR-575的下游靶基因,荧光素酶结果显示miR-575不仅能够有效抑制野生型BLID 3'UTR端的荧光素酶反应(P0.01),而且能够降低BLID的蛋白表达量(P0.01)。实时定量PCR结果显示BLID在NSCLC细胞系中均呈现显著的低表达(P0.001),且转染BLID后,NSCLC细胞的增殖和细胞侵袭被明显抑制(P0.05),而当miR-575与BLID共转染时,miR-575能够逆转BLID所抑制的细胞增殖和侵袭(P0.01)。结论:在NSCLC细胞系中,miR-575的表达上调,且能够通过直接作用于下游靶点抑癌基因BLID从而促非小细胞肺癌细胞增殖及侵袭。     

miR-605-5p promotes invasion and proliferation by targeting TNFAIP3 in non–small-cell lung cancer

Lung cancer is an significant cause of death worldwide, and non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified to play key roles in NSCLC development. Recently, it has been reported that miR-605-5p is a cancer-related miRNA in several types of tumors. In this study, we study the role of miR-605-5p in NSCLC cells. We find that miR-605-5p is upregulated in NSCLC cells. Overexpression of miR-605-5p significantly promotes lung cancer invasion and migration in H460 and H1299 cells. Besides this, miR-605-5p also promotes lung cancer cell carcinoma proliferation and metastasis in vivo. However, downregulation of miR-605-5p inhibits cell invasion and migration by inhibiting lung cancer cell carcinoma proliferation and metastasis. In addition, the luciferase report assay identifies 3′-untranslated region tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3) as a target of miR-605-5p. Silencing of TNFAIP3 promotes invasion and proliferation in lung cancer. In addition, the knockdown of TNFAIP3 restores the significant decrease in invasion and proliferation in miR-605-5p-inhibitor–transfected lung cancer cells. In conclusion, miR-605-5p promotes invasion and proliferation by targeting TNFAIP3 in NSCLC, and may provide possible biomarkers for NSCLC therapy.     

miR-125a regulates HAS1 and inhibits the proliferation,invasion and metastasis by targeting STAT3 in non–small cell lung cancer cells

MicroRNA-125a (miR-125a) is related to the occurrence, development, and prognosis of various cancers according to relevant reports. However, its function role and mechanism in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is yet to be explored. Herein, we investigated the role and preliminary mechanism of miR-125a in NSCLC. First, miR-125a was noticeably downregulated in NSCLC tissues in contrast to adjacent normal tissues through the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay. The inverted result was observed on the STAT3 and HAS1 expressions. Moreover, miR-125a was expressed at highest level in A549 among four human NSCLC cell lines. Second, functional studies indicated miR-125a restrained proliferation, invasion, migration, metastasis, and advocated apoptosis of NSCLC cells, but had no obvious effect on cell cycle. Next, results indicated that a target of miR-125a was STAT3 on the basis of prediction and confirmation by the dual-luciferase reporter assay. RT-qPCR and Western blot assays displayed that miR-125a overexpression conspicuously constrained STAT3 expression at messenger RNA and protein levels. Finally, the binding between HAS1 promoter region and STAT3 was predicted by PROMO database analysis and verified by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, suggesting that STAT3 was bound with the HAS1 promoter regions. STAT3 overexpression exerted positive effects on HAS1 expression at protein and mRNA levels. Additionally, HAS1-related functional studies illustrated HAS1 pronouncedly suppressed the proliferative, invasive, and migratory potential of NSCLC cells in vitro. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that miR-125a prohibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration of NSCLC cells by HAS1 expression reduction as a result of inhibiting STAT3 expression in NSCLC. This study indicated that miR-125a might be of potential or value for NSCLC treatment.     

miR-204通过抑制OGT的表达调控非小细胞肺癌细胞的增殖和迁移

目的:探究miR-204和O-连接N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖转移酶(O link N-acetylglucosamine transferase,OGT)对非小细胞肺癌(Non-small cell lung cancer,NSCLC)细胞增殖和转移的影响,并深入分析其可能机制。方法:采用Oncomine及KM-Ploter数据库分析OGT在肺癌组织中的表达及与肺癌患者预后的关系;采用慢病毒转染人非小细胞肺癌A549及永生化人肺支气管上皮细胞BEAS-2B,分别构建OGT稳定下调和过表达的细胞系,利用CCK-8、平板克隆和裸鼠皮下成瘤实验检测细胞增殖的情况,划痕实验、Transwell实验和裸鼠尾静脉注射肺转移模型检测细胞转移的情况。利用数据库分析可能参与OGT调控的microRNA,并用双荧光素酶报告基因验证。利用TCGA数据库分析miR-204在肺癌中的表达情况,并在30例肺癌组织及其对应癌旁组织中分析miR-204与OGT之间的相关性。结果:OGT在肺癌组织中呈高表达,且与患者的不良预后相关(HR=1.22,P 0.01);OGT的表达上调肺癌细胞的增殖和转移;miR-204可以负向调控OGT的表达,且miR-204在肺癌组织中表达水平显著低于癌旁组织,在肺癌组织中miR-204的水平与OGT的表达水平呈负相关(R~2=-0.4729,P 0.01)。结论:在非小细胞肺癌中,miR-204的降低通过上调OGT的表达促进肺癌的增殖和转移。     

Inhibition of RAC1-GEF DOCK3 by miR-512-3p contributes to suppression of metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer

MicroRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs regulating gene expression. In this study, we demonstrated that retinoic acid (RA) treatment increases the expression of miR-512-3p. Overexpression of miR-512-3p inhibited cell adhesion, migration, and invasion in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines A549 and H1299. miR-512-3p inhibitor partially reversed these effects in H1299 cells stably expressing miR-512. We identified DOCK3, a RAC1-GEF (guanine nucleotide exchange factor), as a target gene of miR-512-3p. Overexpression of miR-512-3p led to the decrease of DOCK3 protein but not its mRNA. Knockdown of DOCK3 resulted in similar effects on adhesion, migration, and invasion as observed of miR-512-3p overexpression. Active RAC1 pull-down assay indicated that overexpression of miR-512-3p could decrease the activity of RAC1 with a higher efficiency than that of DOCK3 knockdown. Furthermore, expression of miR-512-3p was suppressed in most NSCLC patient tumor samples compared to its paired normal controls, suggesting that miR-512-3p might play a crucial role in lung cancer development. In conclusion, our results supported that miR-512-3p could inhibit tumor cell adhesion, migration, and invasion by regulating the RAC1 activity via DOCK3 in NSCLC A549 and H1299 cell lines.     

MiR-34a/c-Dependent PDGFR-α/β Downregulation Inhibits Tumorigenesis and Enhances TRAIL-Induced Apoptosis in Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in the world today. Although some advances in lung cancer therapy have been made, patient survival is still poor. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can act as oncogenes or tumor-suppressor genes in human malignancy. The miR-34 family consists of tumor-suppressive miRNAs, and its reduced expression has been reported in various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we found that miR-34a and miR-34c target platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha and beta (PDGFR-α and PDGFR-β), cell surface tyrosine kinase receptors that induce proliferation, migration and invasion in cancer. MiR-34a and miR-34c were downregulated in lung tumors compared to normal tissues. Moreover, we identified an inverse correlation between PDGFR-α/β and miR-34a/c expression in lung tumor samples. Finally, miR-34a/c overexpression or downregulation of PDGFR-α/β by siRNAs, strongly augmented the response to TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) while reducing migratory and invasive capacity of NSCLC cells.
