Long noncoding RNA BBOX1-AS1 increased radiotherapy sensitivity in colorectal cancer by stabilizing and activating PFK1.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Our study explored the effect of long noncoding RNA BBOX1-AS1 on colorectal cancer (CRC) radiosensitivity in vivo and in vitro.

Methods

Differentially expressed lncRNAs in CRC were screened using a bioinformatics database and an online prediction website. The expression of BBOX1-AS1 in tissue samples was analyzed via real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Subcellular localization of BBOX1-AS1 in CRC cells was analyzed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The correlation between BBOX1-AS1 and PFK1 expression levels in CRC tissues was analyzed via Pearson's correlation coefficient. The effect of BBOX1-AS1 on PFK1 stability was investigated using RNA and protein stability testing. RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull-down assays were used to confirm the binding of BBOX1-AS1 to PFK1.

Results

BBOX1-AS1 was highly expressed in CRC and associated with poor prognosis. Similarly, it was highly expressed in CRC tissues and CRC cell lines. In addition, BBOX1-AS1 promoted the proliferation, invasion, migration, and glycolysis of CRC cells and inhibited apoptosis. RIP and RNA pull-down experiments confirmed that BBOX1-AS1 bound to PFK1. RNA stability and protein stability experiments showed that BBOX1-AS1 affected the stability of PFK1 mRNA and protein. Furthermore, we confirmed that BBOX1-AS1 increased radiation resistance through the regulation of PFK1 expression.

Conclusions

BBOX1-AS1 promoted the proliferation, invasion, migration, and glycolysis of CRC cells through stabilization of the expression of PFK1. BBOX1-AS1 also inhibited CRC cell apoptosis and increased radiotherapy resistance in CRC cells.

Project description:Background: Knowledge about the prognostic role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in colorectal cancer (CRC) is limited. Therefore, we constructed a lncRNA-related prognostic model based on data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Materials and Methods: CRC transcriptome and clinical data were downloaded from the GSE20916 dataset and the TCGA database, respectively. R software was used for data processing and analysis. The differential lncRNA expression within the two datasets was first screened, and then intersections were measured. Cox regression and the Kaplan-Meier method were used to evaluate the effects of various factors on prognosis. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve and a nomogram based on multivariate Cox analysis were used to estimate the prognostic value of the lncRNA-related model. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were applied to elucidate the significantly involved biological functions and pathways. Results: A total of 11 lncRNAs were crossed. The univariate Cox analysis screened out two lncRNAs, which were analyzed in the multivariate Cox analysis. A nomogram based on the two lncRNAs and other clinicopathological risk factors was constructed. The AUC of the nomogram was 0.56 at 3 years and 0.71 at 5 years. The 3-year nomogram model was compared with the ideal model, which showed that some indices of the 3-year model were consistent with the ideal model, suggesting that our model was highly accurate. The GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that positive regulation of secretion by cells, positive regulation of secretion, positive regulation of exocytosis, endocytosis, and the calcium signaling pathway were differentially enriched in the two-lncRNA-associated phenotype. Conclusions: A two-lncRNA prognostic model of CRC was constructed by bioinformatics analysis. The model had moderate prediction accuracy. LncRNA BBOX1-AS1 and lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 were identified as prognostic biomarkers.
