The polymorphism rs944289 predisposes to papillary thyroid carcinoma through a large intergenic noncoding RNA gene of tumor suppressor type.

ABSTRACT: A genome-wide association study of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) pinpointed two independent SNPs (rs944289 and rs965513) located in regions containing no annotated genes (14q13.3 and 9q22.33, respectively). Here, we describe a unique, long, intergenic, noncoding RNA gene (lincRNA) named Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Susceptibility Candidate 3 (PTCSC3) located 3.2 kb downstream of rs944289 at 14q.13.3 and the expression of which is strictly thyroid specific. By quantitative PCR, PTCSC3 expression was strongly down-regulated (P = 2.84 × 10(-14)) in thyroid tumor tissue of 46 PTC patients and the risk allele (T) was associated with the strongest suppression (genotype [TT] (n = 21) vs. [CT] (n = 19), P = 0.004). In adjacent unaffected thyroid tissue, the genotype [TT] was associated with up-regulation of PTCSC3 ([TT] (n = 21) vs. [CT] (n = 19), P = 0.034). The SNP rs944289 was located in a binding site for the CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBP) ? and ?. The risk allele destroyed the binding site in silico. Both C/EBP? and C/EBP? activated the PTCSC3 promoter in reporter assays (P = 0.0009 and P = 0.0014, respectively) and the risk allele reduced the activation compared with the nonrisk allele (C) (P = 0.026 and P = 0.048, respectively). Restoration of PTCSC3 expression in PTC cell line cells (TPC-1 and BCPAP) inhibited cell growth (P = 0.002 and P = 0.019, respectively) and affected the expression of genes involved in DNA replication, recombination and repair, cellular movement, tumor morphology, and cell death. Our data suggest that SNP rs944289 predisposes to PTC through a previously uncharacterized, long intergenic noncoding RNA gene (PTCSC3) that has the characteristics of a tumor suppressor.

Project description:The present study aimed to screen all types of RNAs involved in the development of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). RNA‑sequencing data of PTC and normal samples were used for screening differentially expressed (DE) microRNAs (DE‑miRNAs), long non‑coding RNAs (DE‑lncRNAs) and genes (DEGs). Subsequently, lncRNA‑miRNA, miRNA‑gene (that is, miRNA‑mRNA) and gene‑gene interaction pairs were extracted and used to construct regulatory networks. Feature genes in the miRNA‑mRNA network were identified by topological analysis and recursive feature elimination analysis. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was built using 15 feature genes, and its classification effect was validated using two microarray data sets that were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. In addition, Gene Ontology function and Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were conducted for genes identified in the ceRNA network. A total of 506 samples, including 447 tumor samples and 59 normal samples, were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA); 16 DE‑lncRNAs, 917 DEGs and 30 DE‑miRNAs were screened. The miRNA‑mRNA regulatory network comprised 353 nodes and 577 interactions. From these data, 15 feature genes with high predictive precision (>95%) were extracted from the network and were used to form an SVM classifier with an accuracy of 96.05% (486/506) for PTC samples downloaded from TCGA, and accuracies of 96.81 and 98.46% for GEO downloaded data sets. The ceRNA regulatory network comprised 596 lines (or interactions) and 365 nodes. Genes in the ceRNA network were significantly enriched in 'neuron development', 'differentiation', 'neuroactive ligand‑receptor interaction', 'metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450', 'drug metabolism' and 'cytokine‑cytokine receptor interaction' pathways. Hox transcript antisense RNA, miRNA‑206 and kallikrein‑related peptidase 10 were nodes in the ceRNA regulatory network of the selected feature gene, and they may serve import roles in the development of PTC.
