Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been recognized as the significant cause of tumor recurrence. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in various cancers, including human laryngeal cancer. So far the correlation between lncRNA DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 5 (DGCR5) and CSC-like properties in human laryngeal cancer remains barely known. In our current study, two human larynx squamous carcinoma cell lines (Hep-2 and Hep-2R) with different radio sensitivities were cultured. Interestingly, CSC-like phenotypes were much more enriched in Hep-2R cells. We found that DGCR5 was upregulated and microRNA-506 (miR-506) was downregulated in Hep-2R cells. In addition, silence of DGCR5 could inhibit the stemness and enhance the radiosensitivity of Hep-2R cells. Meanwhile, overexpression of miR-506 also suppressed the CSC-like traits and the radiosensitivity was increased significantly. In addition, miR-506 was predicted as target of DGCR5 and the correlation between them was validated in our study. Finally, we observed that Wnt pathway exerted a significant role in human laryngeal CSCs and DGCR5 inhibition could repress Wnt signaling activity by sponging miR-506. In vivo assays were performed and we found that DCGR5 depressed stemness of human laryngeal cancer cells through modulating miR-506 and Wnt signaling pathway. Taken these together, we reported that DGCR5 induced CSC-like properties by sponging miR-506 through activating Wnt in human laryngeal carcinoma cells. 相似文献

Radioresistance (inherent or acquired) remains a major obstacle affecting the clinical outcome of radiotherapy for laryngeal carcinoma. Results from our laboratory and other groups suggest that aberrant glycosylation contributes to cancer acquired radioresistance. However, the role of glycosylation in inherent radioresistance of laryngeal carcinoma has not been fully uncovered. In this study, we investigated the glycan profiling of the inherent radioresistant (Hep-2max) and radiosensitive (Hep-2 min) cell lines using lectin microarray analysis. The results revealed that the radioresistant cell line Hep-2max presented higher core 1-type O-glycans than the sensitive one. Further analysis of the O-glycan regulation by benzyl-α-GalNAc application in Hep-2max cells showed partial inhibition of the O-glycan biosynthesis and increased radiosensitivity. In addition, core 1 β1, 3-galactosyltransferase (C1GALT1) overexpression in Hep-2 min cells enhanced cell migration, invasion, and radioresistance. Conversely, knockdown of C1GALT1 in Hep-2max cells was able to suppress these malignant phenotypes. Moreover, mechanistic investigations showed that C1GALT1 modified the O-glycans on integrin β1 and regulated its activity. The glycosylation-mediated radioresistance was further inhibited by anti-integrin β1 blocking antibody. Importantly, we also observed that core 1-type O-glycans expression was correlated with advanced tumor stage, metastasis, and poor survival of laryngeal carcinoma patients. These findings suggest that altered O-glycosylation can lead to the inherent radioresistance and progression, and therefore may be important for enhancing the efficacy of radiotherapy in laryngeal carcinoma. 相似文献

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of regulatory noncoding RNAs. Emerging evidence highlights the critical roles of lncRNAs in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although many lncRNAs have been identified in the development of HCC, the association between DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 5 (DGCR5) and HCC remains unclear. In the current study, we focused on the biological role of DGCR5 in HCC. We observed that DGCR5 was decreased in HCC cells, including SMCC7721, Hep3B, HepG2, MHCC-97L, MHCC-97H, and SNU449 hepatocellular carcinoma cells, compared with the normal human liver cell line THLE-3 normal human liver cells. In addition, DGCR5 overexpression could repress HCC cell growth, migration, and invasion considerably. Increasing studies have indicated the interactions between lncRNAs and microRNAs. MicroRNAs are endogenous small noncoding RNAs and they can play important roles in tumorigenesis. MicroRNA 346 (miR-346) has been demonstrated in various human cancer types, including HCC. MiR-346 was found to be increased in HCC cells and DGCR5 can act as a sponge of miR-346 to modulate the progression of HCC. The binding correlation between DGCR5 and miR-346 was validated in our research. Subsequently, Krüppel-like factor 14 (KLF14) was predicted as a downstream target of miR-346 and miR-346 can induce the development of HCC by inhibiting KLF14. Finally, we proved that DGCR5 can rescue the inhibited levels of KLF14 repressed by miR-346 mimics in MHCC-97H and Hep3B cells. Taken together, it was indicated in our study that DGCR5 can restrain the progression of HCC through sponging miR-346 and modulating KLF14 in vitro. 相似文献

The anti-cancer effect of dehydrocostus lactone (DHL) derived from Saussurea costus (Falc.) Lipech against laryngeal carcinoma was assessed. The cytotoxic activity of DHL against laryngeal carcinoma is still obscure. Therefore, our study investigated the role of DHL in the growth inhibition of laryngeal carcinoma in vitro and in vivo, and the molecular mechanism of DHL-induced apoptosis in cancer cells of the larynx. The results showed that DHL inhibits the viability, migration and proliferation of Hep-2 and TU212 cells with little toxic effects on human normal larynx epithelial HBE cell line. Flow cytometry analysis (FAC) analysis and staining assay (Hoechst 33258) indicated that DHL stimulated Hep-2 and TU212 cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Mechanistically, DHL is capable of inhibiting Hep-2 and TU212 cell viability via promoting p53 and P21 function, meanwhile DHL dose-dependently induces Hep-2 and TU212 cells apoptosis via activating mitochondrial apoptosis by inhibiting PI3K/Akt/Bad pathway and stimulating endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis pathway. In vivo, DHL inhibited the growth of the Hep-2 nude mouse xenograft model and observed no significant signs of toxicity in the organs of nude mice. In vivo experiments further confirmed the anti-cancer effect of DHL on laryngeal carcinoma cells in vitro, and DHL-treated nude mice can reduce the volume of tumours. Together, our study indicated that DHL has the potential to inhibit human laryngeal carcinoma via activating mitochondrial apoptosis pathway by inhibiting PI3K/Akt/Bad signalling pathway and stimulating endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis pathway, providing a strategy for the treatment of human laryngeal carcinoma. 相似文献

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) emerge as essential roles in the regulation of alternative splicing (AS) in various malignancies. Serine- and arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1)-mediated AS events are the most important molecular hallmarks in cancer. Nevertheless, the biological mechanism underlying tumorigenesis of lncRNAs correlated with SRSF1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains elusive. In this study, we found that lncRNA DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 5 (DGCR5) was upregulated in ESCC clinical samples, which associated with poor prognosis. Through RNA interference and overexpression approaches, we confirmed that DGCR5 contributed to promote ESCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while inhibited apoptosis in vitro. Mechanistically, DGCR5 could directly bind with SRSF1 to increase its stability and thus stimulate alternative splicing events. Furthermore, we clarified that SRSF1 regulated the aberrant splicing of myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) and initiated a significant Mcl-1L (antiapoptotic) isoform switch, which contributed to the expression of the full length of Mcl-1. Moreover, the cell-derived xenograft (CDX) model was validated that DGCR5 could facilitate the tumorigenesis of ESCC in vivo. Collectively, our findings identified that the key biological role of lncRNA DGCR5 in alternative splicing regulation and emphasized DGCR5 as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for ESCC.Subject terms: Tumour biomarkers, Apoptosis 相似文献

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 5 (DGCR5) has been reported to correlate with a variety of cancers, with its expression pattern and potential mechanism not clarified in gastric cancer (GC). In this study, we demonstrated that DGCR5 was downregulated in cancerous tissues and plasma samples from patients with GC, and its downregulation was associated with advanced TNM stage and positive lymphatic metastasis. Plasma DGCR5 had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.722 for diagnosis of GC. Gain- and loss-of-function of DGCR5 revealed that DGCR5 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA for miR-23b to suppress GC cell proliferation, invasion and migration, and facilitate apoptosis by regulating PTEN and BTG1 in vitro. Furthermore, the overexpression of DGCR5 suppressed tumor growth, and inhibited the expression of miR-23b and proliferation antigen Ki-67, but increased the expression of PTEN and BTG1 in vivo. In conclusion, our results show that DGCR5 is a tumor-suppressive lncRNA that regulates PTEN and BTG1 expression through directly binding to miR-23b. This mechanism may contribute to a better understanding of GC pathogenesis and provide a potential therapeutic strategy for GC. 相似文献

DGCR5 attenuates neuropathic pain through sponging miR-330-3p and regulating PDCD4 in CCI rat models
Chengwei Peng Chuanqing Zhang Zhe Su Dongyang Lin 《Journal of cellular physiology》2019,234(5):7292-7300
Neuropathic pain caused by somatosensory nervous system dysfunction is a serious public health problem. Some long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can participate in physiological processes involved in neuropathic pain. However, the effects of lncRNA DGCR5 in neuropathic pain have not been explored. Therefore, in our current study, we concentrated on the biological roles of DGCR5 in neuropathic pain. Here, it was observed that DGCR5 was significantly decreased in chronic sciatic nerve injury (CCI) rat models. DGCR5 overexpression was able to alleviate neuropathic pain development including mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia. In addition, the current understanding of miR-330-3p function in neuropathic pain remains largely incomplete. Here, we found that miR-330-3p was greatly increased in CCI rats and DGCR5 can modulate miR-330-3p expression negatively. Upregulation of DGCR5 repressed inflammation-correlated biomarkers including interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α, and IL-1β in CCI rats by sponging miR-330-3p. The negative correlation between DGCR5 and miR-330-3p was confirmed in our current study. Inhibition of miR-330-3p suppressed neuropathic pain progression by restraining neuroinflammation in vivo. In addition, PDCD4 was predicted as a downstream target of miR-330-3p. Furthermore, PDCD4 was significantly increased in CCI rats and DGCR5 regulated PDCD4 expression through sponging miR-330-3p in CCI rat models. Taken these together, it was implied that DGCR5/miR-330-3p/PDCD4 axis participated in neuropathic pain treatment. 相似文献

The anti-inflammatory protein annexin A1 (ANXA1) has been associated with cancer progression and metastasis, suggesting its role in regulating tumor cell proliferation. We investigated the mechanism of ANXA1 interaction with formylated peptide receptor 2 (FPR2/ALX) in control, peritumoral and tumor larynx tissue samples from 20 patients, to quantitate the neutrophils and mast cells, and to evaluate the protein expression and co-localization of ANXA1/FPR2 in these inflammatory cells and laryngeal squamous cells by immunocytochemistry. In addition, we performed in vitro experiments to further investigate the functional role of ANXA1/FPR2 in the proliferation and metastasis of Hep-2 cells, a cell line from larynx epidermoid carcinoma, after treatment with ANXA12–26 (annexin A1 N-terminal-derived peptide), Boc2 (antagonist of FPR) and/or dexamethasone. Under these treatments, the level of Hep-2 cell proliferation, pro-inflammatory cytokines, ANXA1/FPR2 co-localization, and the prostaglandin signalling were analyzed using ELISA, immunocytochemistry and real-time PCR. An influx of neutrophils and degranulated mast cells was detected in tumor samples. In these inflammatory cells of peritumoral and tumor samples, ANXA1/FPR2 expression was markedly exacerbated, however, in laryngeal carcinoma cells, this expression was down-regulated. ANXA12–26 treatment reduced the proliferation of the Hep-2 cells, an effect that was blocked by Boc2, and up-regulated ANXA1/FPR2 expression. ANXA12–26 treatment also reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and affected the expression of metalloproteinases and EP receptors, which are involved in the prostaglandin signalling. Overall, this study identified potential roles for the molecular mechanism of the ANXA1/FPR2 interaction in laryngeal cancer, including its relationship with the prostaglandin pathway, providing promising starting points for future research. ANXA1 may contribute to the regulation of tumor growth and metastasis through paracrine mechanisms that are mediated by FPR2/ALX. These data may lead to new biological targets for therapeutic intervention in human laryngeal cancer. 相似文献

Erbb4-IR is a recently identified lncRNA with pivotal functions in renal injury. The present study investigated the roles of Erbb4-IR in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). It was observed that Erbb4-IR was upregulated in tumor tissues of patients with ESCC. Plasma levels of Erbb4-IR in patients with ESCC were positively correlated with expression levels of Erbb4-IR in tumor tissues. MicroRNA-145 (miR-145) was downregulated in tumor tissues and inversely correlated with Erbb4-IR only in tumor tissues. Erbb4-IR overexpression led to downregulated miR-145, and increased rates of ECSS cell proliferation and decreased rates of ECSS cell apoptosis. Overexpression of miR-145 showed no significant effects on Erbb4-IR expression, but played an opposite role on cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. In addition, miR-145 overexpression attenuated the effects of Erbb4-IR overexpression. Therefore, lncRNA Erbb4-IR may promote ESCC by downregulating miR-145. 相似文献

The plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1)1 gene is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)2 that has been shown to be an oncogene in many cancers. Herein, the function and potential molecular mechanisms connecting PVT1 and miR-195-5p were elucidated in endometrial cancer cell lines. Quantitative real-time PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)3 demonstrated that PVT1 is up-regulated concomitant with miR-195-5p down-regulation in human endometrial carcinoma tissues. PVT1 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while facilitating apoptosis of endometrial cancer cells. Moreover, restoration of miR-195-5p due to PVT1 knockdown exerted tumor-suppressive functions. We observed that PVT1 promotes malignant cell behavior by decreasing miR-195-5p expression. Binding of PVT1 and miR-195-5p was confirmed using luciferase assays. Furthermore, expression of miR-195-5p negatively correlates with PVT1 expression. At the molecular level, either PVT1 knockdown or miR-195-5p overexpression resulted in a decrease of acidic fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR1)4 and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2).5 FGFR1 and FGF2 are targets of miR-195-5p that play a critical role in endometrial carcinoma by activating PI3K/AKT and MAPK/Erk pathways. Remarkably, PVT1 knockdown combined with miR-195-5p overexpression led to tumor regression in vivo. Overall, these results depict a novel pathway mediated by PVT1 in endometrial carcinoma, which may have potential application for endometrial carcinoma therapy. 相似文献

It has been previously reported that cisplatin is a well-known anticancer drug being used against a wide range of malignancies including head and neck, ovarian and non-small cell lung carcinoma, and demonstrated its anticancer activity by reacting with DNA or changing cell structure, immune response, reactive oxygen species level (ROS). In this research we proved that cisplatin induced cell injuries and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in laryngeal squamous cell cancer Hep-2 cells through ROS generation. The induction of HO-1 clearly protected Hep-2 cells from cisplatin-induced cell death and ROS reaction, and the inhibitor of HO-1 enhanced the cell death and ROS generation induced by cisplatin. Furthermore, the HO-1 expression induced by cisplatin was strongly inhibited by the knockdown of nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor-2 (Nrf-2), and the oxidative damages induced by cisplatin were significantly enhanced. Therefore, it may be concluded that the inhibition of HO-1 or the knockdown of Nrf-2 significantly enhanced cisplatin’s anticancer effects on Hep-2 cells. In clinic, with the overexpression of HO-1 in laryngeal squamous cancer tissues, the combination of cisplatin with the inhibitor of HO-1 or Nrf-2 siRNA may act as a new method to the treatment of laryngeal squamous cancer. 相似文献

Emerging studies suggested that lncRNAs play a crucial molecular role in cancer development and progression. LncRNA LUCAT1 has been proved as oncogenic molecular in lung cancer, glioma, osteosarcoma, renal carcinoma and oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. However, its roles and function mechanisms in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) are still unknown. We showed that the expression of LUCAT1 was up-regulated in the TSCC cells and tissues and the higher LUCAT1 expression was associated with the poor overall survival (OS). Knockdown expression of LUCAT1 suppressed TSCC cell proliferation, cycle and migration. In addition, we demonstrated that miR-375 overexpression inhibited the luciferase activity of LUCAT1 wild-type and knockdown LUCAT1 promoted the miR-375 expression in TSCC cell. Furthermore, we indicated that miR-375 expression was down-regulated in the TSCC cell lines and tissues and the lower expression of miR-375 was associated with poor OS. The expression of miR-375 was inversely correlated with LUCAT1 expression in the TSCC tissues. Knockdown LUCAT1 promoted TSCC cell proliferation, cell cycle and migration partly through regulating miR-375 expression. In summary, this study suggested the tumorigenic effect of lncRNA LUCAT1 in TSCC cells by targeting miR-375 expression. 相似文献

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most prevalent type in esophageal cancers. Despite accumulating achievements in treatments of ESCC, patients still suffer from recurrence because of the treatment failures, one of the reasons for which is radioresistance. Therefore, it is a necessity to explore the molecular mechanism underlying ESCC radioresistance. Long intergenic noncoding RNA 473 (LINC00473) has been reported to be aberrantly expressed in several human malignancies. However, its biological function in radiosensitivity of ESCC remains to be fully understood. This study explored the role of LINC00473 in radiosensitivity of ESCC cells and whether LINC00473 acted as a competing endogenous RNA to realize its modulation on radioresistance. We found that LINC00473 was markedly upregulated in ESCC tissues and cell lines, and its expression was remarkably related to cellular response to irradiation. In addition, knockdown of LINC00473 could sensitize ESCC cells to radiation in vitro. As for the underlying mechanism, we uncovered that there was a mutual inhibition between LINC00473 and miR-374a-5p. Spindlin1 (SPIN1) was verified as a downstream target of miR-374a-5p, and LINC00473 upregulated SPIN1 expression through negatively modulating miR-374a-5p expression. Furthermore, we revealed that SPIN1 could aggravate the radioresistance of ESCC cells. Finally, overexpression of SPIN1 reversed the LINC00473 silencing-enhanced radiosensitivity in ESCC cells. To sum up, we demonstrated that LINC00473 facilitated radioresistance by regulating the miR-374a-5p/SPIN1 axis in ESCC. 相似文献

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve critical roles in multiple human malignant tumors, including prostate cancer (PCa). Currently, the biological role of oncogenic lncRNA SNHG12 in PCa remains largely unclear. In the present study, we found that SNHG12 was highly expressed in human PCa tissues and cell lines. In addition, gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies showed that overexpression of SNHG12 promoted, while downregulation suppressed the proliferation, invasion, and migration of PCa cells in vitro. Knockdown of SNHG12 also repressed PCa xenograft tumor growth in vivo. Further in-depth mechanistic studies showed that SNHG12 might serve as a competing endogenous RNA for miR-195 in PCa cells, and miR-195 expression level was negatively associated with the expression of SNHG12 in PCa tissues. Finally, we found that the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is enhanced by SNHG12 overexpression and rescued by co-transfection with miR-195 mimics in PCa cells. Collectively, the present study indicated the oncogenic function of SNHG12 in PCa and our findings might provide a new target in the treatment of PCa. 相似文献

Radioresistance remains a major challenge in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Recent data strongly suggests the important role of miRNAs in cancer progression and therapeutic response. Here, we have established a radioresistant human GBM cell line U87R derived from parental U87 and found miR-135b expression was upregulated in U87R cells. miR-135b knockdown reversed radioresistance of U87R cells, and miR-135b overexpression enhanced radioresistance of U87 cells. Mechanically, bioinformatics analysis combined with experimental analysis demonstrated GSK3β (Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta) was a novel direct target of miR-135b. Moreover, GSK3β protein expression was downregulated in U87R cells and restored expression of GSK3β increased radiosensitivity of U87R cells. In addition, clinical data indicated that the expression of miR-135b or GSK3β was significantly association with IR resistance of GBM samples. Our findings suggest miR-135b is involved in the radioresistance of human GBM cells and miR-135b-GSK3β axis may be a novel candidate for developing rational therapeutic strategies for human GBM treatment. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that miR-203 acts as a tumor-suppressive microRNA in various cancers, but its roles in laryngeal carcinoma are still contradicted. Here, we found that miR-203 inhibited the growth of laryngeal cancer cells and survivin was a direct target of miR-203. Moreover, silencing of survivin recapitulated the effect of miR-203 on cell cycle progression, whereas overexpression of survivin reversed this effect. Additionally, qRT-PCR showed the reciprocal relationship between miR-203 and survivin in laryngeal cancer tissues. These findings indicate that miR-203 inhibits the proliferation of laryngeal carcinoma cells by directly targeting survivin, suggesting its application in anti-cancer therapeutics. 相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most fatal cancers worldwide. Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic extensively used in clinical. Herein, we tested the anticancer activity of propofol on hepatocellular carcinoma, along with the internal molecular mechanism related to lncRNA DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 5 (DGCR5). Followed by propofol stimulation, hepatocellular carcinoma Huh-7 and HepG2 cell viability, proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were tested, respectively. Then, DGCR5 expression levels in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and cells were measured. sh-DGCR5 was transfected to silence DGCR5 expression. Subsequently, the influence of DGCR5 silence on propofol caused Huh-7 and HepG2 cell viability loss, proliferation inhibition, migration and invasion suppression, apoptosis induction, as well as Raf1/ERK1/2 and Wnt/β-catenin pathways inactivation were assessed, respectively. We discovered that propofol declined Huh-7 and HepG2 cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion, but increased cell apoptosis. DGCR5 had a relatively lower expression level in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and cells. Propofol elevated DGCR5 expression in Huh-7 and HepG2 cells. Increased expression of DGCR5 was connected with the anticancer activity of propofol on Huh-7 and HepG2 cells. Besides, propofol repressed Raf1/ERK1/2 and Wnt/β-catenin pathways through elevating DGCR5 expression. In conclusion, the anticancer activity of propofol on hepatocellular carcinoma was verified in this study. Propofol repressed hepatocellular carcinoma Huh-7 and HepG2 cell growth and metastasis at least by elevating DGCR5 and hereafter inactivating Raf1/ERK1/2 and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. 相似文献

miRNAs regulate gene expression and are key mediators of tumourigenesis. miR-129 has diverse effects in tumours, but its role in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remains unknown. This article focuses on the role of miR-129-5p in LSCC. We show miR-129-5p is upregulated in primary LSCC tumours and correlated with advanced disease. Down-regulating miR-129-5p suppressed cell proliferation and migration, and caused cell cycle arrest in Hep-2 cell lines. Downregulation of miR-129-5p alone is sufficient to induce apoptosis both in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, the growth of LSCC xenograft exposed to miR-129-5p antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) in BALB/c mice was markedly inhibited. In addition, we found that miR-129-5p targeted adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) to release inhibition of Wnt signalling causing cell growth and tumourigenesis. Our results suggest miR-129-5p functions as an oncogene in LSCC by repressing APC and is a potential therapeutic target for LSCC. 相似文献
