MicroRNA-195 inhibits proliferation, invasion and metastasis in breast cancer cells by targeting FASN, HMGCR, ACACA and CYP27B1.

ABSTRACT: De novo lipogenesis, a hallmark for cancers is required for cellular transformation. Further it is believed that resistance to apoptosis and epithelial-to-mesenchymal-transition(EMT) facilitates metastasis via over-expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2. Previously we demonstrated that hsa-miR-195 targets BCL2, induces apoptosis and augmented the effect of etoposide in breast cancer cells. However, the mechanism behind its function remains elusive. Herein gene expression profiling was done in presence/absence of hsa-miR-195 in Breast cancer cells. IPA revealed mitochondrial dysfunction, fatty acid metabolism and xenobiotic metabolism signalling among the top processes being affected. For the first time we herein identified ACACA, FASN (the key enzymes of de novo fatty acid synthesis), HMGCR (the key enzyme of de novo cholesterol synthesis) and CYP27B1 as direct targets of hsa-miR-195. We further showed that ectopic expression of hsa-miR-195 in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells not only altered cellular cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly but also resulted in reduced proliferation, invasion and migration. We further demonstrated that over expression of hsa-miR-195 decreased the Mesenchymal markers expression and enhanced Epithelial markers. In conclusion we say that hsa-miR-195 targets the genes of de novo lipogenesis, inhibits cell proliferation, migration, and invasion which potentially opens new avenues for the treatment of breast cancer.

Project description:The present study aimed to investigate the expression of miR-200b and protein kinase Cα (PKCα) in pituitary tumors and to determine whether miR-200b may inhibit proliferation and invasion of pituitary tumor cells. The regulation of PKCα expression was targeted in order to find novel targets for the treatment of pituitary tumors. In total, 53 pituitary tumor tissue samples were collected; these included 28 cases of invasive pituitary tumors and 25 cases of non-invasive tumors, in addition to 5 normal pituitaries. The expression level of miR-200b in the pituitary tumor tissue was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and the expression of PKCα protein was detected by immunohistochemistry. A PKCα 3'untranslated region (UTR) luciferase vector was constructed and a dual luciferase reporter gene assay was employed in order to examine the effect of miR-200b on the PKCα 3'UTR luciferase activity. AtT-20 cells were transfected with miR-200b mimics, PKCα siRNA and miR-200b mimics + PKCα, and the changes in cellular proliferation, invasion and apoptosis were observed via MTT, Transwell assay and flow cytometric analysis. Furthermore, PKCα mRNA expression was determined by qPCR, and Western blotting was performed to detect the expression of PKCα protein. miR-200b revealed downregulation in invasive pituitary tumor tissue, and the expression level was significantly down-regulated compared with normal and non-invasive pituitary tumor tissue (P<0.01). In addition, the positive rate of PKCα protein expression in invasive pituitary tumor tissues was significantly higher than in normal and non-invasive tissues (P<0.01). PKCα protein levels are inversely correlated with miR-200b levels in invasive pituitary tumor tissues (r=-0.436, P=0.021). The dual luciferase reporter gene assay revealed that miR-200b could specifically bind to the 3'UTR of PKCα and significantly inhibit the luciferase activity by 39% (P<0.01). Upregulation of miR-200b or downregulation of PKCα could suppress cell proliferation and invasion, and increase apoptosis of AtT-20 cells. It was revealed that PKCα siRNA could suppress both proliferation and invasion of AtT-20 cells and partially simulate the function of miR-200b. Expression of PKCα mRNA and protein decreased significantly in AtT-20 cells overexpressing miR-200b. Additionally, miR-200b was significantly down-regulated in invasive pituitary tumor tissue and inversely correlated with PKCα protein levels. In conclusion, miR-200b inhibited proliferation and invasiveness and promoted the apoptosis of pituitary tumor cells by targeting PKCα. The observations of the present study indicate that miR-200b and PKCα may serve as promising therapeutic targets for invasive pituitary tumors.

Project description:Epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) is the most common cause of gynecological cancer mortality, and poses a threat to women. MicroRNA‑195 (miR‑195) has been reported to induce apoptosis of human OVCAR‑3 cells by inhibiting the VEGFR2/AKT pathway. However, the role of miR‑195 in EOC remains unknown. A previous study reported that cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) can serve as a target gene of miR‑195 and mediate malignant progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of miR‑195 in EOC and the regulation in CDC42/CCND1 pathway. Tissues samples and clinical materials were collected from 78 enrolled patients with EOC to analyze the expression and clinical significance of miR‑195, CDC42 and cyclin D1 (CCND1). Human EOC cell lines OVCA420, OVCAR‑3, A2780 and SKOV3 cell lines were used to assess the expression and function of miR‑195, CDC42 and CCND1 in vitro. Cell proliferation, the cell cycle and apoptosis, as well as the cell migratory and invasive abilities were detected in vitro using BrdU incorporation, colony formation, wound healing and Transwell invasion assays, along with flow cytometry. miR‑195 was downregulated, while CDC42 and CCND1 were upregulated in human EOC tissues and cells, and the aberrant expression of both was associated with increased EOC malignancy. Moreover, miR‑195 expression was negatively correlated with CDC42 and CCND1 expression levels, and negatively regulated these expression levels. Thus, it was suggested that miR‑195 functions as a tumor suppressor, but CDC42 and CCND1 act as tumor promoters based their abilities to enhance cell proliferation, cell cycle entry, migration and invasion, as well as decrease apoptosis in OVCAR‑3 cells. the present results demonstrated that miR‑195 inhibited human EOC progression by downregulating CDC42 and CCND1 expression. Furthermore, it was identified that miR‑195, CDC42 and CCND1 may be effective biomarkers for EOC diagnosis and treatment.
