RP4 通过miR-183-5p.1上调FOXO1抑制乳腺癌细胞增殖

近年来,越来越多的证据表明,长非编码RNAs在肿瘤发生发展中发挥重要作用。位于12号染色体的长非编码RNA RP4-816N1.7（简称RP4）在乳腺癌细胞中的作用未见报道。我们通过实时荧光定量PCR证实,RP4在乳腺癌细胞中的表达量普遍低于其在正常乳腺上皮细胞MCF-10A中的表达量。RP4在MCF-7和MDA-MB-231中表达量分别比其在MCF-10A中的表达量下调21.57%和91.33%。过表达RP4可明显抑制乳腺癌细胞增殖。敲低RP4可显著增加乳腺癌细胞的增殖能力。生物信息学预测,RP4可能与miR-183-5p.1结合,且叉头蛋白O1(FOXO1)可能是miR-183-5p.1的潜在靶标。实时荧光定量PCR结果提示,RP4可下调miR-183-5p.1,而miR-183-5p.1也可下调RP4和FOXO1的表达。双荧光素酶报告基因结果证实,miR-183-5p.1可与RP4结合,下调其表达,也能与FOXO1 3′UTR结合,抑制其mRNA和蛋白质水平的表达量。最后,本文通过BrdU实验证实,RP4通过FOXO1抑制乳腺癌细胞的增殖。总之,RP4通过内源性结合miR-183-5p.1,上调FOXO1表达,进而抑制乳腺癌细胞增殖。

miR-9-5p靶向Ambra1促进舌癌细胞增殖

miRNAs在肿瘤中异常表达,且与肿瘤的发生发展密切相关。目前发现,miR-9-5p在肿瘤中可能发挥原癌或抑癌效应,功能尚未完全阐述清楚。本文拟探讨miR-9-5p在舌癌中的作用。前期研究中收集10例舌癌组织及配对的癌旁组织,实时荧光定量PCR技术检测后发现,miR-9-5p在舌癌组织中的表达量显著高于癌旁组织,且其在舌癌细胞中的表达量也明显高于正常舌上皮细胞。此外,在舌癌细胞Tca8113中过表达miR-9-5p显著增加细胞的增殖能力。生物信息学预测及双荧光素酶报告基因实验证实,miR-9-5p可直接结合在自噬/苄氯素1调节因子1（activating molecule in beclin1-regulated autophagy, Ambra1）的 3′-UTR区域,靶向抑制Ambra1表达。Western印迹结果证实过表达miR-9-5p降低Ambra1的表达,反之亦然。Ambra1在舌癌细胞中的表达量显著低于正常舌上皮细胞。BrdU实验证实在舌癌细胞SCC-25中过表达Ambra1可显著抑制其增殖能力;相反,使用siRNA技术沉默Ambra1能够显著促进Tca8113细胞的增殖。在干预miR-9-5p的细胞中同时干预Ambra1的表达,结果发现Ambra1可显著逆转miR-9-5p对舌癌细胞增殖的促进作用。总之,miR-9-5p在舌癌中可能发挥原癌基因样作用,通过直接靶向抑制Ambra1表达进而促进舌癌细胞发生增殖。

miR-129-5p and -3p co-target WWP1 to suppress gastric cancer proliferation and migration

Gastric cancer (GC) is a worldwide health problem. Uncovering the underlining molecular mechanisms of GC is of vital significance. Here, we identified a novel oncogene WW domain-containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (WWP1) in GC. WWP1 could promote GC cell proliferation and migration in vitro and expedite GC growth in vivo. We also found out two microRNAs (miRNAs): miR-129-5p and -3p could both target WWP1. Interestingly, miR-129-5p bound to the CDS region of WWP1 mRNA. The miR-129 pairs (miR-129-5p and -3p) play pivotal roles in GC to suppress its proliferation and migration in vitro and slow down GC growth in vivo by repressing WWP1. In summary, we identified two tumor suppressive miRNAs which share the same precursor that could regulate the same oncogene WWP1 in GC. Our finding would add new route for GC research and treatment.

Hepatitis B core protein promotes liver cancer metastasis through miR-382-5p/DLC-1 axis

The hepatitis B virus core protein (HBc), also named core antigen, is well-known for its key role in viral capsid formation and virus replication. Recently, studies showed that HBc has the potential to control cell biology activity by regulating host gene expression. Here, we utilized miRNA microarray to identify 24 upregulated miRNAs and 21 downregulated miRNAs in HBc-expressed HCC cells, which were involved in multiple biological processes, including cell motility. Consistently, the in vitro transwell assay and the in vivo tail-vein injection model showed HBc promotion on HCC metastasis. Further, the miRNA-target gene network analysis displayed that the deleted in liver cancer (DLC-1) gene, an important negative regulator for cell motility, was potentially targeted by several differentially expressed miRNAs in HBc-introduced cells. Introduction of miRNAs mimics or inhibitors and 3′UTR luciferase activity assay proved that miR-382-5p efficiently suppressed DLC-1 expression and its 3′-UTR luciferase reporter activity. Importantly, cotransfection of miR-382-5p mimics/inhibitors and the DLC-1 expression vector almost abrogated HBc promotion on cell motility, indicating that the miR-382-5p/DLC-1 axis is important for mediating HBc-enhanced HCC motility. Clinical HCC samples also showed a negative correlation between miR-382-5p and DLC-1 expression level. Furthermore, HBc-positive HCC tissues showed high miR-382-5p level and reduced DLC-1 expression. In conclusion, our findings revealed that HBc promoted HCC motility by regulating the miR-382-5p/DLC-1 axis, which might provide a novel target for clinical diagnosis and treatment.     

LncRNA TMPO-AS1 serves as a ceRNA to promote osteosarcoma tumorigenesis by regulating miR-199a-5p/WNT7B axis

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common kind of aggressive tumor in bone which was mostly identified in children and adolescents with extremely high risk of death. Accumulating research works have displayed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) exert an essential role in the development of multiple cancers. It has been reported that TMPO-AS1 is an oncogene in cancers; nonetheless, its molecular mechanism in OS is totally unclear. Our present study elucidated that a remarkable overexpression of TMPO-AS1 was found in OS tissues and cells. Moreover, TMPO-AS1 depletion restrained Wnt/β-catenin pathway and cell proliferation as well as facilitated cell apoptosis. Further molecular mechanism investigations showed that TMPO-AS1 can sponge to miR-199a-5p. Moreover, miR-199a-5p was at a low level at OS cells. Importantly, miR-199a-5p's overexpression was associated with the OS cells' decreased proliferation and increased apoptosis. In addition, WNT7B was confirmed as a downstream gene of miR-199a-5p. Also the WNT7B expression was reversely modulated by miR-199a-5p and positively modulated by TMPO-AS1. Rescue experiments suggested that downregulated WNT7B rescued miR-199a-5p inhibitor-mediated repression on OS progression, but the treatment of LiCl counteracted the effect of WNT7B downregulation. In a word, TMPO-AS1 serves as a competing endogenous RNA to boost osteosarcoma tumorigenesis by regulating miR-199a-5p/WNT7B axis, which provided an underlying therapeutic target for patients with OS.
