Tumor suppressor BLU inhibits proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by regulation of cell cycle, c-Jun N-terminal kinase and the cyclin D1 promoter.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Tumor suppressor genes function to regulate and block tumor cell proliferation. To explore the mechanisms underlying the tumor suppression of BLU/ZMYND10 gene on a frequently lost human chromosomal region, an adenoviral vector with BLU cDNA insert was constructed. METHODS: BLU was re-expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by transfection or viral infection. Clonogenic growth was assayed; cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry-based DNA content detection; c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and cyclin D1 promoter activities were measured by reporter gene assay, and phosphorylation was measured by immunoblotting. The data for each pair of groups were compared with Student t tests. RESULTS: BLU inhibits clonogenic growth of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, arrests cell cycle at G1 phase, downregulates JNK and cyclin D1 promoter activities, and inhibits phosphorylation of c-Jun. CONCLUSIONS: BLU inhibits growth of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by regulation of the JNK-cyclin D1 axis to exert tumor suppression.

Project description:Accumulating evidence has indicated that aberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is an important oncogenic factor. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of LINC01296, an lncRNA that exerts a tumor?promoting function in many cancers, in the regulation of proliferation, metastasis and the cell cycle of osteosarcoma. The expression of LINC01296 in osteosarcoma tissues and adjacent healthy tissues of 30 patients was analyzed by quantitative real?time PCR (qRT?PCR). The relationship between LINC01296 expression and the survival of patients with osteosarcoma was also explored. The expression levels of LINC01296 in osteosarcoma cells and normal cells were compared. LINC01296 knockdown and overexpression were performed in MG63 and HOS8603 osteosarcoma cells by transfecting LINC01296 shRNA and an expression plasmid respectively, followed by investigation of the changes on cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Western blotting was used to analyze the changes of cell cycle regulators. Cyclin D1 knockdown and overexpression were carried out to verify the interaction between LINC01296 and cyclin D1. LINC01296 overexpression was demonstrated as a biomarker of osteosarcoma, which was closely correlated with the poor survival of patients with osteosarcoma. A high expression of LINC01296 was observed in osteosarcoma cells, which was closely associated with enhanced proliferation, invasion, and migration of osteosarcoma cells. Cyclin D1 expression was positively correlated with the expression of LINC01296 in osteosarcoma cells. Cyclin D1 knockdown or overexpression played a deterministic role in mediating the effect of LINC01296 on osteosarcoma cells. LINC01296 is an oncogenic lncRNA in osteosarcoma. The proliferation, invasion and migration of osteosarcoma cells could be effectively retarded by inhibition of LINC01296. The cancer?promoting effect of LINC01296 on osteosarcoma was determined by cyclin D1.
