Annexin-A1 regulates microRNA-26b* and microRNA-562 to directly target NF-?B and angiogenesis in breast cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Annexin 1 (ANXA1) is an endogenous anti-inflammatory protein implicated in cancer. ANXA1 was previously shown to be regulated by hsa-miR-196a. However, whether ANXA1 itself regulates microRNA (miR) expression is unknown. Therefore, we investigated the regulation of miR by ANXA1 in MCF7 breast cancer cells. MCF7-EV (Empty vector) and MCF7-V5 (ANXA1-V5 expressing cells) were subjected to a miR microarray. Microarray analysis revealed a number of miRNAs which were dysregulated in MCF7-V5 cells. 2 novel miRNAs (miR562 and miR26b*) were validated, cloned and functionally characterized. As ANXA1 constitutively activates NF-?B activity to modulate breast cancer metastasis, we found that miR26b* and miR562 directly targeted the canonical NF-?B pathway by targeting the 3' UTR and inhibiting expression of Rel A (p65) and NF-?B1 (p105) respectively. MiR562 inhibited wound healing, which was reversed when ANXA1 was overexpressed. Overexpression of either miR562 or miR26b* in MCF-7 cells enhanced endothelial tube formation when cocultured with human umbilical cord endothelial cells while conversely, treatment of MCF7 cells with either anti-miR562 or anti-miR26b* inhibited endothelial tube formation after co-culture. Further analysis of miR562 revealed that miR562-transfected cell conditioned media enhances endothelial cell tube formation, indicating that miR562 increased angiogenic secreted factors from MCF-7 breast tumor cells. TNF? was increased upon overexpression of miR562, which was reversed when ANXA1 was co-transfected In conclusion, this data suggests that ANXA1-regulated miR26b* and miR562 may play a role in wound healing and tumor-induced endothelial cell tube formation by targeting NF-?B expression and point towards a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.

Project description:To screen microRNAs (miRNAs) and analyze their role in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) development through differential analysis and cytological validation of the nasopharyngeal carcinoma dataset. The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database of NPC-related data were utilized to screen for differential miRNAs, downstream target genes and relevant pathways, and the relationships among them were verified by luciferase reporter assay and cell co-culture. To analyze the function of miRNAs and downstream target genes, a series of mimics, inhibitors or Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting the downstream target genes were transfected into NPC cells or normal epithelial cells by cell transfection techniques. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8), Transwell, Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) apoptosis, and western blotting were adopted to determine the changes in cell activity, invasiveness, and apoptosis after differential miRNA and target gene overexpression or downregulation. Differential analysis of miRNA dataset showed that the expression of miR-26b was significantly downregulated in NPC, in agreement with the validation results of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines. And downregulation of miR-26b expression in normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cells transformed the cells to tumors. CEP135 was identified as the miR-26b downstream target gene by mRNA dataset analysis, and a luciferase reporter test revealed a direct targeting link between the two. Upregulation of CEP135 levels in nasopharyngeal cancer cell lines increased cell activity, accelerated cell migration, and inhibited apoptosis. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed that CEP135 exerted the above effects on cells via the NF-κB pathway, and co-culture with NF-κB pathway blockers reversed cell biological behavior to the level of the control group. MiR-26b downregulation leads to CEP135 overexpression and NF-κB pathway activation in NPC, which enhances proliferation, migration, and prevents apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Therefore, the study further clarifies the biological behavior mechanism of NPC and suggests new therapeutic options for NPC.

Project description:BackgroundDysregulated miR-7 and aberrant NF-κB activation were reported in various human cancers. However, the expression profile, clinical relevance and dysregulated mechanism of miR-7 and NF-κB RelA/p65 in human gastric cancers (GC) metastasis remain largely unknown. This study is to investigate the expression profile, clinical relevance and dysregulated mechanism of miR-7 and NF-κB RelA/p65 in GC and to explore the potential therapeutic effect of miR-7 to GC distant metastasis.MethodsTCGA STAD and NCBI GEO database were used to investigate the expression profile of miR-7 and NF-κB RelA/p65 and clinical relevance. Lentivirus-mediated gene delivery was applied to explore the therapeutic effect of miR-7 in GC. Real-time PCR, FACS, IHC, IF, reporter gene assay, IP, pre-miRNA-7 processing and binding assays were performed.ResultsLow miR-7 correlated with high RelA/p65 in GC with a clinical relevance that low miR-7 and high RelA/p65 as prognostic indicators of poor survival outcome of GC patients. Moreover, an impaired pre-miR-7 processing caused by dysregulated Dicer1 expression is associated with downregulated miR-7 in GC cells. Functionally, delivery of miR-7 displays therapeutic effects to GC lung and liver metastasis by alleviating hemangiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis as well as inflammation cells infiltration. Mechanistically, miR-7 suppresses NF-κB transcriptional activity and its downstream metastasis-related molecules Vimentin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF by reducing p65 and p-p65-ser536 expression. Pharmacologic prevention of NF-κB activator LPS obviously restored miR-7-suppressed NF-κB transcriptional activation and significantly reverted miR-7-inhibited cell migration and invasion.ConclusionsOur data suggest loss of miR-7 in GC promotes p65-mediated aberrant NF-κB activation, facilitating GC metastasis and ultimately resulting in the worse clinical outcome. Thus, miR-7 may act as novel prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for aberrant NF-κB-driven GC distant metastasis.
