The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) mediates epigenetic gene silencing by trimethylating histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) and is known to aberrantly silence tumor suppressor genes in cancer. EZH2, the catalytic subunit of PRC2, enhances tumorigenesis and is commonly overexpressed in several types of cancer. Our microRNA profiling of bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) patient samples revealed that microRNA-101 (miR-101) is down-regulated in TCC, and we showed that miR-101 inhibits cell ...[more]

Project description:miR-101 is a tumor suppressive microRNA. Besides EZH2, a well known EZH2 target, miR-101 should have other targets, which might also contribute to its tumor suppressive function. Thus, we performed array hybridization to determine changes in gene expression upon miR-101 overexpression in U2OS cells.

Thus, we performed array hybridization to determine changes in gene expression upon miR-101 overexpression in U2OS cells. U2OS were transfected with synthetic miRNA negative control (NC) or miR-101 for 48hrs, and then harvested for RNA preparation. Three independent experiments were performed. One NC sample were repeated twice for the microarray.

Project description:Epidermal hyperplasia, a characteristic feature of psoriatic skin lesions, is epigenetically driven by Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2). EZH2 and EZH2-mediated trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) are both abnormally upregulated in psoriatic lesions. To identify microRNAs that could potentially target these epigenetic regulators we profiled miRNAs from psoriatic lesional skin in comparison with healthy skin. Analysis of the differentially expressed miRNAs revealed miR-101, as one of the most significant miRNA, consistently downregulated in psoriatic lesions compared to the healthy skin. A clear inverse correlation in the expression of miR-101 versus EZH2 was apparent in normal skin versus psoriatic lesional skin indicating that EZH2 is a potential target of miR-101, which was further confirmed by luciferase assay. Investigating the upstream effectors of the miR-101- EZH2 pathway in psoriasis, we identified the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17 as regulator of miR-101 expression. Here we propose a model, depicting a pathway triggered by IL-17 – mediated modulation of miR-101 expression, which in turn elicit sustained expression of EZH2, leading to enhanced keratinocyte proliferation and epidermal hyperplasia in psoriasis. Taken together, this indicates that miR-101 is a potential therapeutic target to alleviate the downstream effects of IL-17 mediated epidermal hyperplasia in psoriasis.

Project description:Background & Aims: E-cadherin expression disruption is commonly observed in epithelial cancers and metastasis. Such event is also recognized as a crucial step in gastric cancer (GC) initiation and progression. As aberrant expression of microRNAs often perturb the normal expression and function of pivotal cancer-related genes, we characterized and dissected a pathway initiated by loss of microRNA-101 that causes E-cadherin dysfunction through upregulation of EZH2 expression in GC. Methods: Microarrays were used to profile the expression of microRNAs in human GC. Array-CGH revealed DNA copy number changes that were validated by genomic quantitative PCR and Snapshot. Expression levels of microRNAs, mRNA and protein were determined by quantitative-real time PCR and western-blot/co-immunofluorescence. CDH1 inactivating mechanisms were analyzed. Gain and loss of function experiments were done in KatoIII cells. E-cadherin functionality was assessed by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. Results: MiR-101 expression was significantly decreased in tumors in comparison with normal gastric mucosas (P<.0001). In 65% of the analyzed GC cases, miR-101 downregulation was caused by deletions and/or microdeletions at miR-101-2 locus. EZH2 overexpression and consequent loss/aberrant E-cadherin expression was found in concomitance with miR-101 downregulation in 41% of the analyzed GC cases. This occurred preferentially in cases retaining allele(s) untargeted by classical CDH1 inactivating mechanisms. MiR-101 gain of function experiments or direct inhibition of EZH2, led to a strong depletion of endogenous EZH2 protein and consequent rescue of functional E-cadherin at the cell membrane, mimicking results obtained with clinical GC samples. Conclusions: Deletions and/or microdeletions at miR-101-2 locus underlying mature miR-101 downregulation and consequent EZH2 overexpression represented a novel cascade of genetic events leading to E-cadherin disruption, preferentially affecting the intestinal-type of GC.

In the present study, 37 primary GCs and a pool of 10 normal gastric mucosas were used to acquire the expression of 703 known human mature miRNAs deposited in the Sanger miRBase Sequence Database, Release 10.0 (http://microrna.sanger.ac.uk), as well as 393 novel human miRNAs discovered through deep sequencing and validated by qRT-PCR and array profiling (NCodeM-bM-^DM-" Human miRNA microarray probe set V3 from Invitrogen). The 10 normal gastric mucosa RNA samples were pooled to obtain the normal gastric reference sample, which was labelled and hybridised four times to check arrays' reproducibility.

Project description:MicroRNA-101 (miR-101) is a tumour suppressor that regulates cancer proliferation and apoptotic signalling. Loss of miR-101 increases the expression of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) subunit enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), resulting in alterations to the epigenome and enhanced tumorigenesis. MiR-101 has also been shown to modulate various aspects of cellular metabolism, however little is known about the mechanisms involved. To investigate the metabolic pathways that are regulated by miR-101, we performed transcriptome and functional analyses of osteosarcoma cells overexpressing miR-101. We found that miR-101 downregulates multiple mitochondrial processes, including oxidative phosphorylation, pyruvate metabolism, the citric acid cycle and phospholipid metabolism. We also found that miR-101 overexpression disrupts the transcription of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) via the downregulation of the mitochondrial transcription initiation complex proteins TFB2M and Mic60. These alterations in protein expression disrupt mitochondrial function, with significant decreases in both basal (54%) and maximal (67%) mitochondrial respiration rates. Native gel electrophoresis revealed that this diminished respiratory capacity was associated with reduced steady-state levels of mature succinate dehydrogenase (complex II), with a corresponding reduction of complex II enzymatic activity. Furthermore, miR-101 overexpression reduced the expression of the SDHB subunit, with a concomitant disruption of the assembly of the SDHC subunit into mature complex II. Overall, we describe a new role for miR-101 as a modulator of mitochondrial metabolism via its regulation of multiple mitochondrial processes, including mtDNA transcription and complex II biogenesis.

Project description:Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism of cellular self-digestion in which proteins and organelles are degraded through delivery to lysosomes. Defects in this process are implicated in numerous human diseases including cancer. To further elucidate regulatory mechanisms of autophagy, we performed a functional screen in search of microRNAs (miRNAs), which regulate the autophagic flux in breast cancer cells. In this study we identified the tumor suppressive miRNA, miR-101, as a potent inhibitor of basal, etoposide- and rapamycin-induced autophagy. Through transcriptome profiling, we identified three novel miR-101 targets, STMN1, RAB5A and ATG4D. siRNA-mediated depletion of these genes phenocopied the effect of miR-101 overexpression, demonstrating their importance in autophagy regulation. Importantly, overexpression of STMN1 could partially rescue cells from miR-101-mediated inhibition of autophagy, indicating a functional importance for this target. Finally, we show that miR-101-mediated inhibition of autophagy can sensitize breast cancer cells to 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) mediated cell death. Collectively, these data establish a novel link between two highly important and rapidly growing research fields and present a new role for miR-101 as a key regulator of autophagy.

Project description:SPRY4-IT1 (SPRY4 intronic transcript 1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that was identified as a novel oncogene in various human cancers, including glioma. However, its function and the further mechanism in glioma remain largely unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of SPRY4-IT1 in the development of glioma and its underlying molecular mechanism. We identify that SPRY4-IT1 is overexpressed in patients with glioma from the TCGA database and own cohort, and correlated with poor prognosis of patients. Then, loss of function and gain of function cell model were established by transfected with siRNA and pcDNA3.1 plasmid. SPRY4-IT1 promotes glioma cells proliferation by Cell Count Kit 8 assays and EdU assay in vitro, and xenograft tumor assays in vivo. RNA sequence was performed to compare the transcriptomes of U87 siSPRY4-IT1-NC and U87 siSPRY4-IT1 cells, and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis indicated angiogenesis is significantly enriched. HUVEC tube forming assays and Chick Embryo Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) assays confirmed that SPRY4-IT1 can induce angiogenesis of glioma in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we identify that SPRY4-IT1 upregulates EZH2 expression by sponge miR-101-3p to induce VEGFA expression in glioma cells. Moreover, SPRY4-IT1 activates VEGFR2/AKT/ERK1/2 pathway in HUVECs by glioma cell-mediated. Rescue experiments were performed by co-transfected with SPRY4-IT1 and EZH2 overexpression plasmid in glioma cells, and confirmed that SPRY4-IT1 promotes cell proliferation and angiogenesis of glioma by miR-101-3p/EZH2/VEGFA signaling axis. Taken together, our studies clarify that SPRY4-IT1 upregulates EZH2 to induce VEGFA by sponge miR-101-3p to achieve cell proliferation and angiogenesis in glioma. Thus, these findings have provided insights into the prognosis prediction and therapeutic target of glioma.

MCF-7 cells were seeded in 6-cm plates and independent triplicate transfections were performed the following day with 50 nM miR-101 or scramble control using Lipofectamine 2000. Total RNA was harvested 24 h after transfection using Trizol reagent. There are a total of six arrays included in this experiment, including three biological replicates of mRNA expression after miR-101 over-expression and three scramble controls in MCF-7 cells.
