Elevated MiR-222-3p promotes proliferation and invasion of endometrial carcinoma via targeting ER?.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs play key roles in tumor proliferation and invasion. Here we show distinct expression of miR-222-3p between ER?-positive and ER?-negative endometrial carcinoma (EC) cell lines and primary tumors, and investigation of its relationship with ER? and other clinical parameters. In vitro, the function of miR-222-3p was examined in RL95-2 and AN3CA cell lines. MiR-222-3p expression was negatively correlated with ER?. Over-expressed miR-222-3p in RL95-2 cells promoted cell proliferation, enhanced invasiveness and induced a G1 to S phase shift in cell cycle. Furthermore, the miR-222-3p inhibitor decreased the activity of AN3CA cells to proliferate and invade. In vivo, down-regulated miR-222-3p of AN3CA cells inhibited EC tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model. Additionally, miR-222-3p increased raloxifene resistance through suppressing ER? expression in EC cells. In conclusion, miR-222-3p plays a significant role in the regulation of ER? expression and could be potential targets for restoring ER? expression and responding to antiestrogen therapy in a subset of ECs.

Project description:Several theories on the origin of adenomyosis (ADS) have been proposed, of which the most widely accepted is the fundamental pathogenic role of uterine eutopic endometrium. Emerging evidence suggests that circular RNAs participate in the multiple tumorgenesis. The vital importance of circular RNA PVT1 (circPVT1) in the pathological progress like malignancies has been well documented. Nevertheless, its underlying correlation with ADS remains elusive yet. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression pattern, regulatory effect, and internal mechanism of circPVT1 in ADS. qRT-PCR was performed to detect the relative mRNA expression of circPVT1, miR-145, and Talin1 in ADS endometrial tissue and cells. The protein level of Talin1 was measured by Western blot and immunochemistry. Immunofluorescence was used to identify the primary endometrial epithelial and stromal cells. circPVT1 knockdown in vitro was achieved by transfecting with specific lentivirus vector CCK-8, and colony formation assays were utilized to assess cell proliferation; meanwhile, the transwell assay was employed for evaluating cell invasion ability. By conducting bioinformatics, dual-luciferase reporter assay, or RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) experiment, the interaction between miR-145 and circPVT1 or Talin1 was verified. Rescue experiments further determined the regulatory effect of circPVT1/miR-145/Talin1 axis. We found both circPVT1 and Talin1 were markedly upregulated in ADS endometrial tissue and cells, whereas miR-145 was decreased. Elevated expression of circPVT1 was closely related to the severity of dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and uterine enlargement of patients with ADS. Knockdown of circPVT1 inhibited adenomyotic epithelial and stromal cell proliferation and invasion. Further mechanistic experiments revealed that circPVT1 negatively regulated miR-145 through serving as a molecular sponge. And the facilitating effect of circPVT1 was partially reversed by miR-145. Talin1 was demonstrated to be a down target of miR-145 and indirectly affected by circPVT1. Our findings unveiled that enhanced circPVT1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of ADS via stimulating endometrial cell proliferation and invasion. The establishment of circPVT1/miR-145/Talin1 pathway might present a novel therapeutic insight for ADS.
