Reticulon-4 (RTN4), a reticulon family protein localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, is reported to be involved in multiple physiological processes like neuroendocrine secretion and membrane trafficking in neuroendocrine cells. Previous studies have presented a great potential of RTN4 for the treatment of autoimmune-mediated demyelinating diseases and spinal cord injury regeneration. While interaction with Bcl-2 and Bcl-2-like family in apoptosis modulation implicated its possible role in various human cancers. However, the investigation of this gene in prostate cancer is mainly ignored. Here in our current study, we focused on its role in prostate cancer and found that RTN4 DNA copy numbers were higher in prostate cancer than normal prostate gland while its RNA and protein expressions were relatively lower. Chromosomal neighbor gene EML6 had similar expression patterns with RTN4 in prostate cancer tissues and cell lines, and further research found that they could be both targeted by miR-148a-3p. Lentivirus-mediated RTN4 overexpression potently inhibited DU145 and LNCaP cells proliferation. Cell cycle was blocked in G2/M phase and significant cell senescence was observed in RTN4 overexpressed prostate cancer cells. Finally, interaction networks in the normal prostate gland and cancer tissues further revealed that RTN4 maybe phosphorylated by MAPKAPK2 and FYN at tyrosine 591 and serine 107, respectively. All these results implied that RTN4 might somehow participate in prostate tumor progression, and this elicits possibility to develop or identify selective agents targeting RTN4 for prostate cancer therapy. 相似文献

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a kind of diabetic complication with capillary damage, and its pathogenesis remains obscure. Recently, microRNAs have been identified as diagnostic biomarkers in various diseases including DN. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) contributes to inflammation, and it has been implicated in diabetes pathophysiology. This study was designed to investigate the role of miR-874 and TLR4 in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DN rat model and glucose-induced mouse podocyte model. In the current study, we reported that miR-874 was markedly downregulated in DN rats and glucose-induced mouse podocytes compared with the corresponding control groups with the activation of TLR4. In addition, we observed that overexpression of miR-874 was able to alleviate renal injury in DN rats. The cell counting kit (CCK-8) assay and 5-Ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay demonstrated that glucose simulation significantly inhibited podocyte proliferation and induced cell apoptosis, which can be reversed by miR-874 mimics significantly. Notably, miR-874 overexpression dramatically attenuated the inflammatory response, indicated by the decreased levels of interleukin-6, L-1β, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). Finally, the binding correlation between miR-874 and TLR4 was confirmed by carrying out dual-luciferase reporter assay in our study. It was found that overexpression of miR-874 depressed TLR4 levels in podocytes. These findings implied for the first time that the overexpression of miR-874 repressed glucose-triggered podocyte injury through targeting TLR4 and suggested that miR-874/TLR4 axis might represent a pathological mechanism of DN. 相似文献

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor. Recently, increasing evidence has shown that the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) DLX6-AS1 (distal-less homeobox 6 antisense 1) plays significant roles in various types of cancers. However, the functions and underlying mechanisms of DLX6-AS1 have not been explored in OS yet. In this study, we assessed the expression of DLX6-AS1 in OS tissues and cell lines and explored the underlying molecular mechanisms. DLX6-AS1 was found to be significantly upregulated in OS tissues and OS cell lines. High expression of DLX6-AS1 was significantly correlated with advanced TNM stage, high tumor grade, and distant metastasis of patients with OS. Knockdown of DLX6-AS1 suppressed OS cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, and induced cell apoptosis. Knockdown of DLX6-AS1 also suppressed in vivo tumor growth. Bioinformatics and luciferase assay analysis showed that DLX6-AS1 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to negatively regulate miR-641 expression. Furthermore, miR-641 was found to target the 3′ untranslated region of homeobox protein Hox-A9 (HOXA9) and suppressed the expression of HOXA9. Mechanistic studies showed that DLX6-AS1 regulated OS cell proliferation, invasion, and migration via regulating HOXA9 by acting as a ceRNA for miR-641. Our results suggested that DLX6-AS1 functions as a ceRNA by targeting miR-641/HOXA9 signal pathway to suppress OS cell proliferation and metastasis. Our study may provide novel insights into understanding pathogenesis and development of OS. 相似文献
