AIB1 predicts bladder cancer outcome and promotes bladder cancer cell proliferation through AKT and E2F1.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: We previously demonstrated that AIB1 overexpression is an independent molecular marker for shortened survival of bladder cancer (BC) patients. In this study, we characterised the role and molecular mechanisms of AIB1 in BC tumorigenicity. METHODS: AIB1 expression was measured by immunohistochemistry in non-muscle-invasive BC tissue and adjacent normal bladder tissue. In addition, the tumorigenicity of AIB1 was assessed with in vitro and in vivo functional assays. RESULTS: Overexpression of AIB1 was observed in tissues from 46 out of 146 patients with non-muscle-invasive BC and was an independent predictor for poor progression-free survival. Lentivirus-mediated AIB1 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo, whereas AIB1 overexpression promoted cell proliferation in vitro. The growth-inhibitory effect induced by AIB1 knockdown was mediated by G1 arrest, which was caused by reduced expression of key cell-cycle regulatory proteins through the AKT pathway and E2F1. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that AIB1 promotes BC cell proliferation through the AKT pathway and E2F1. Furthermore, AIB1 overexpression predicts tumour progression in patients with non-muscle-invasive BC.

Project description:The purpose of our study is to elucidate the expression of lncRNA00518 (lnc00518) in the bladder cancer, and its potential mechanism in regulating the development of bladder cancer. The expression of lnc00518 in bladder cancer tissues and cells was examined by qRT-PCR. Correlation between lnc00518 expression with clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of bladder cancer patients was analyzed. In vitro effects of lnc00518 on the cellular behaviors of bladder cancer cells were explored. Moreover, in vivo effect of lnc00518 was evaluated by subcutaneous tumorigenesis in nude mice. The possible miRNA targets of lnc00518 were predicted by bioinformatics and further confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, RIP and rescue experiments. Lnc00518 was highly expressed in bladder cancer tissues and cells. Lnc00518 expression was correlated with TNM staging and histological grade of bladder cancer. Besides, the overall survival was lower in bladder cancer patients with high expression of lnc00518 relative to those with low expression. Overexpression of lnc00518 enhanced proliferative, invasive, migratory potentials and clonality, but shortened G0/G1 phase of bladder cancer cells. Lnc00518 knockdown obtained the opposite trends. In vivo experiments revealed that lnc00518 knockdown inhibited subcutaneous tumorigenesis in nude mice. QRT-PCR results indicated that lnc00518 expression was negatively correlated with miRNA-101 expression in bladder cancer cells. Through dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and RIP, we confirmed the binding between lnc00518 and miRNA-101. Furthermore, EZH2 was verified to be the target of miRNA-101. MiRNA-101 knockdown reversed the inhibitory roles of lnc00518 knockdown in proliferative, migratory and invasive potentials of bladder cancer cells. Lnc00518 is highly expressed in bladder cancer and can be served as a predictor of poor prognosis. Lnc00518 promotes the proliferative, invasive and migratory potentials of bladder cancer by upregulating EZH2 via competitively binding to miRNA-101.
