Tight Junction Protein 1 Suppresses Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma Cells Proliferation by Inducing Autophagy.

ABSTRACT: TJP1, an adaptor protein of the adhesive barrier, has been found to exhibit distinct oncogenic or tumor suppressor functions in a cell-type dependent manner. However, the role of TJP1 in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) remains to be explored. The results showed a marked down-regulation of TJP1 in KIRC tissues compared to normal tissues. Low expression of TJP1 was significantly associated with high grade and poor prognosis in KIRC. Autophagosome aggregation and LC3 II conversion demonstrated that TJP1 may induce autophagy signaling in 786-O and OS-RC-2 cells. Knockdown of TJP1 led to a decrease in the expression of autophagy-related genes, such as BECN1, ATG3, and ATG7. Consistently, TJP1 expression showed a significant positive correlation with these autophagy-related genes in KIRC patients. Furthermore, the overall survival analysis of KIRC patients based on the expression of autophagy-related genes revealed that most of these genes were associated with a good prognosis. TJP1 overexpression significantly suppressed cell proliferation and tumor growth in 786-O cells, whereas the addition of an autophagy inhibitor diminished its inhibitory function. Taken together, these results suggest that TJP1 serves as a favorable prognostic marker and induces autophagy to suppress cell proliferation and tumor growth in KIRC.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) serve as important regulators of the tumorigenesis and progression of many human cancers. Therefore, we evaluated the biological function and underlying mechanism of miR-363 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).MethodsThe expression of miR-363 in ccRCC tissues compared with adjacent normal renal tissues was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and the association between miR-363 levels and prognosis of ccRCC patients was analyzed. The candidate target gene of miR-363 was determined by in silico analysis and luciferase reporter assays. The effects of miR-363 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of ccRCC cells in vitro were determined by MTS assay, colony formation assay, Transwell assay and wound healing assay. We also investigated the roles of miR-363 in vivo by a xenograft tumour model. The mechanism of miR-363 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of ccRCC was determined by gain- and loss-of-function analyses.Resultswe demonstrated that miR-363 expression was obviously downregulated in ccRCC tissues and that reduced miR-363 expression was correlated with poor disease-free survival (DFS) in ccRCC patients after surgery. S1PR1 expression was inversely correlated with the level of miR-363 in human ccRCC samples. Luciferase reporter assays suggested that S1PR1 was a direct functional target of miR-363. miR-363 downregulated S1PR1 expression and suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of ccRCC cells in vitro and suppressed xenograft tumour growth in vivo. Importantly, miR-363 exerted its biological function by inhibiting S1PR1 expression in ccRCC cells, leading to the repression of ERK activation. Moreover, we found that the levels of downstream effectors of ERK, including PDGF-A, PDGF-B, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related genes, were decreased after miR-363 overexpression.ConclusionsOur results suggest that miR-363 acts as a tumour suppressor by directly targeting S1PR1 in ccRCC and may be a potential new therapeutic target for ccRCC.
