Long Noncoding RNA Ceruloplasmin Promotes Cancer Growth by Altering Glycolysis.

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) significantly influence the development and regulation of genome expression in cells. Here, we demonstrate the role of lncRNA ceruloplasmin (NRCP) in cancer metabolism and elucidate functional effects leading to increased tumor progression. NRCP was highly upregulated in ovarian tumors, and knockdown of NRCP resulted in significantly increased apoptosis, decreased cell proliferation, and decreased glycolysis compared with control cancer cells. In an orthotopic mouse model of ovarian cancer, siNRCP delivered via a liposomal carrier significantly reduced tumor growth compared with control treatment. We identified NRCP as an intermediate binding partner between STAT1 and RNA polymerase II, leading to increased expression of downstream target genes such as glucose-6-phosphate isomerase. Collectively, we report a previously unrecognized role of the lncRNA NRCP in modulating cancer metabolism. As demonstrated, DOPC nanoparticle-incorporated siRNA-mediated silencing of this lncRNA in vivo provides therapeutic avenue toward modulating lncRNAs in cancer.

Expression of Long Noncoding RNA <i>YIYA</i> Promotes Glycolysis in Breast Cancer.

Project description:Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is yet to be linked to cancer metabolism. Here, we report that upregulation of the lncRNA LINC00538 (YIYA) promotes glycolysis, cell proliferation, and tumor growth in breast cancer. YIYA is associated with the cytosolic cyclin-dependent kinase CDK6 and regulated CDK6-dependent phosphorylation of the fructose bisphosphatase PFK2 (PFKFB3) in a cell-cycle-independent manner. In breast cancer cells, these events promoted catalysis of glucose 6-phosphate to fructose-2,6-bisphosphate/fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of YIYA or CDK6 silencing impaired glycolysis and tumor growth in vivo In clinical specimens of breast cancer, YIYA was expressed in approximately 40% of cases where it correlated with CDK6 expression and unfavorable survival outcomes. Our results define a functional role for lncRNA in metabolic reprogramming in cancer, with potential clinical implications for its therapeutic targeting.Significance: These findings offer a first glimpse into how a long-coding RNA influences cancer metabolism to drive tumor growth.

Long noncoding RNA LINC00930 promotes PFKFB3-mediated tumor glycolysis and cell proliferation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundMetabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer. However, the roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cancer metabolism, especially glucose metabolism remain largely unknown.ResultsIn this study, we identified and functionally characterized a novel metabolism-related lncRNA, LINC00930, which was upregulated and associated with tumorigenesis, lymphatic invasion, metastasis, and poor prognosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Functionally, LINC00930 was required for increased glycolysis activity and cell proliferation in multiple NPC models in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, LINC00930 served as a scaffold to recruit the RBBP5 and GCN5 complex to the PFKFB3 promoter and increased H3K4 trimethylation and H3K9 acetylation levels in the PFKFB3 promoter region, which epigenetically transactivating PFKFB3, and thus promoting glycolytic flux and cell cycle progression. Clinically, targeting LINC00930 and PFKFB3 in combination with radiotherapy induced tumor regression.ConclusionsCollectively, LINC00930 is mechanistically, functionally and clinically oncogenic in NPC. Targeting LINC00930 and its pathway may be meaningful for treating patients with NPC.

Long noncoding RNA LINC00978 promotes cancer growth and acts as a diagnostic biomarker in gastric cancer.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in cancer development and progression. The deregulated expression of LINC00978 has been reported in human cancers. However, the expression pattern and biological roles of LINC00978 in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the potential roles and clinical value of LINC00978 in gastric cancer. QRT-PCR was performed to investigate the expression of LINC00978 in gastric cancer cell lines, tissues and serum samples. Cell counting, colony formation, transwell migration and matrigel invasion assays were performed to determine the effects of shRNA-mediated knockdown of LINC00978 on gastric cancer cell functions. In vivo tumour growth assay was also conducted. Flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, western blot and qRT-PCR were used for potential mechanism study. LINC00978 expression level was elevated in GC tumour tissues, serum samples and cell lines. The expression level of LINC00978 was significantly correlated with tumour size (P = 0.02), lymphatic metastasis (P = 0.009) and TNM stage (P = 0.009). LINC00978 knockdown inhibited the proliferation of GC cells by suppressing cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis. LINC00978 knockdown also inhibited the migration and invasion of GC cells. In addition, LINC00978 knockdown inhibited the activation of TGF-β/SMAD signalling pathway and the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in GC cells. Moreover, the in vivo tumorigenicity of LINC00978 knockdown GC cells in mice was significantly decreased. LINC00978 promotes gastric cancer progression and may serve as a potential biomarker for GC.

Long Noncoding RNA JAKMIP2-AS1 Promotes the Growth of Colorectal Cancer and Indicates Poor Prognosis.

Project description:BackgroundThe identification of cancer-associated long noncoding RNAs and the investigation of their molecular and biological functions are important for understanding the molecular biology and progression of cancer. JAKMIP2-AS1 has not been reported in the literature, especially in the context of colorectal cancer. The aim of the present study was to examine the expression pattern of JAKMIP2-AS1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) and evaluate its biological role and clinical significance in tumor progression.MethodsJAKMIP2-AS1 expression was analyzed in 56 CRC tissues and nine CRC cell lines by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Overexpression and RNA interference (RNAi) approaches were used to investigate the biological functions of JAKMIP2-AS1. The effect of JAKMIP2-AS1 on proliferation was evaluated by CCK-8, colony formation, and EdU assays. Subcutaneous injection of cells was used to study proliferation in BALB/c nude male mice. Proliferation-related protein levels were examined by immunohistochemical analysis. Differences between groups were tested for significance using Student's t-test (two-tailed).ResultsJAKMIP2-AS1 was highly expressed in both CRC samples and cell lines compared with the corresponding normal counterparts. The upregulation of JAKMIP2-AS1 expression promoted the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells. Moreover, patients with high levels of JAKMIP2-AS1 expression had a relatively poor prognosis. Inhibition of JAKMIP2-AS1 by RNAi decreased the proliferation of CRC cells in vitro and impeded cell growth in vivo. Ki-67 and PCNA levels were affected by JAKMIP2-AS1 knockdown or overexpression in vivo.ConclusionOur findings indicate that JAKMIP2-AS1 is significantly upregulated in CRC tissues and regulates CRC cell proliferation. Thus, JAKMIP2-AS1 may represent a new marker of poor prognosis and is a potential therapeutic target for CRC intervention.

The novel long noncoding RNA u50535 promotes colorectal cancer growth and metastasis by regulating CCL20.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been emerging as master regulators of tumor growth and metastasis, but the functions and underlying mechanisms of lncRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC) still need to be clarified. Here, we found a novel lncRNA u50535, which was greatly overexpressed in CRC tissues and was associated with poor prognosis in CRC patients. Function studies showed that u50535 was an oncogene in CRC both in vitro and in vivo. In mechanism, through RNA sequencing and rescue assay, we found that u50535 activates CCL20 signaling to promote cell proliferation and migration in CRC. Taken together, these findings suggest that u50535 can promote CRC growth and metastasis and may serve as a potential biomarker in CRC.

Androgen-responsive long noncoding RNA CTBP1-AS promotes prostate cancer.

Project description:High-throughput techniques have identified numerous antisense (AS) transcripts and long non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, their significance in cancer biology remains largely unknown. Here, we report an androgen-responsive long ncRNA, CTBP1-AS, located in the AS region of C-terminal binding protein 1 (CTBP1), which is a corepressor for androgen receptor. CTBP1-AS is predominantly localized in the nucleus and its expression is generally upregulated in prostate cancer. CTBP1-AS promotes both hormone-dependent and castration-resistant tumour growth. Mechanistically, CTBP1-AS directly represses CTBP1 expression by recruiting the RNA-binding transcriptional repressor PSF together with histone deacetylases. CTBP1-AS also exhibits global androgen-dependent functions by inhibiting tumour-suppressor genes via the PSF-dependent mechanism thus promoting cell cycle progression. Our findings provide new insights into the functions of ncRNAs that directly contribute to prostate cancer progression.

JAK2-binding long noncoding RNA promotes breast cancer brain metastasis.

Project description:Conventional therapies for breast cancer brain metastases (BCBMs) have been largely ineffective because of chemoresistance and impermeability of the blood-brain barrier. A comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanism that allows breast cancer cells to infiltrate the brain is necessary to circumvent treatment resistance of BCBMs. Here, we determined that expression of a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that we have named lncRNA associated with BCBM (Lnc-BM) is prognostic of the progression of brain metastasis in breast cancer patients. In preclinical murine models, elevated Lnc-BM expression drove BCBM, while depletion of Lnc-BM with nanoparticle-encapsulated siRNAs effectively treated BCBM. Lnc-BM increased JAK2 kinase activity to mediate oncostatin M- and IL-6-triggered STAT3 phosphorylation. In breast cancer cells, Lnc-BM promoted STAT3-dependent expression of ICAM1 and CCL2, which mediated vascular co-option and recruitment of macrophages in the brain, respectively. Recruited macrophages in turn produced oncostatin M and IL-6, thereby further activating the Lnc-BM/JAK2/STAT3 pathway and enhancing BCBM. Collectively, our results show that Lnc-BM and JAK2 promote BCBMs by mediating communication between breast cancer cells and the brain microenvironment. Moreover, these results suggest targeting Lnc-BM as a potential strategy for fighting this difficult disease.

A specific upregulated long noncoding RNA in colorectal cancer promotes cancer progression.

Project description:Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including colorectal cancer (CRC). The gene mutations of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) were found in most patients with CRC. They function as important inducers of tumorigenesis. Based on our microarray results, we identified a specific upregulated lncRNA in CRC (SURC). Further analysis showed that high SURC expression correlated with poorer disease-free survival and overall survival in patients with CRC. Furthermore, we found that mutated APC genes can promote the transcription of SURC by reducing the degradation of β-catenin protein in CRC. Functional assays revealed that knockdown of SURC impaired CRC cell proliferation, colony formation, cell cycle, and tumor growth. Additionally, SURC promotes CCND2 expression by inhibiting the expression of miR-185-5p in CRC cells. In conclusion, we demonstrate that SURC is a specific upregulated lncRNA in CRC and the SURC/miR-185-5p/CCND2 axis may be targetable for CRC diagnosis and therapy.

Construction of a Glycolysis-related long noncoding RNA signature for predicting survival in endometrial cancer.

Project description:Background: long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been widely studied and understood in various cancer types. However, the expression profiles of glycolysis-related lncRNA in endometrial cancer (EC) have poorly been reported. Methods: In this study, we retrieved the "Glycolysis" gene list from Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) and screened prognostic glycolysis-related lncRNA using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (UCEC) RNA-seq dataset. Then, TCGA UCEC patients were randomly divided. Lasso algorithm and multivariate cox regression analyses were then performed to further select hub prognostic lncRNA and to develop a prognostic signature. The efficacy of the signature was also evaluated in the TCGA EC cohort. Moreover, we constructed a nomogram to predict EC patient outcomes. Results: Univariate cox analysis identified thirty-six glycolysis-related lncRNA correlated with EC patient prognosis. Among them, five lncRNA were further selected as hub lncRNA that mostly relate to EC patient outcomes, which are AL121906.2, BOLA3-AS1, LINC01833, AC016405.3, and RAB11B-AS1. A prognostic signature was then built based on the expression and coefficiency of five lncRNA. The efficacy of the signature was validated in part of and the entire TCGA EC cohort. In addition, the risk signature could precisely distinguish high- and low-risk EC patients and predict patient outcomes. The nomogram exhibited absolute concordance between the predictions and actual survival observations. Conclusions: The glycolysis-related lncRNA signature model and the nomogram may provide a new perspective for EC patients outcome prediction in clinical use.

Long noncoding RNA TLNC1 promotes the growth and metastasis of liver cancer via inhibition of p53 signaling.

Project description:BackgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to play vital roles in cancer development and progression. However, their biological roles and function mechanisms in liver cancer remain largely unknown.MethodsRNA-seq was performed with clinical hepatoma tissues and paired adjacent normal liver tissues to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs. qPCR was utilized to examine the expression levels of lncRNAs. We studied the function of TLNC1 in cell growth and metastasis of hepatoma with both cell and mouse models. RNA-seq, RNA pull-down coupled with mass spectrometry, RNA immunoprecipitation, dual luciferase reporter assay, and surface plasmon resonance analysis were used to analyze the functional mechanism of TLNC1.ResultsBased on the intersection of our own RNA-seq, TCGA RNA-seq, and TCGA survival analysis data, TLNC1 was identified as a potential tumorigenic lncRNA of liver cancer. TLNC1 significantly enhanced the growth and metastasis of hepatoma cells both in vitro and in vivo. TLNC1 exerted its tumorigenic function through interaction with TPR and inducing the TPR-mediated transportation of p53 from nucleus to cytoplasm, thus repressing the transcription of p53 target genes and finally contributing to the progression of liver cancer.ConclusionsTLNC1 is a promising prognostic factor of liver cancer, and the TLNC1-TPR-p53 axis can serve as a potential therapeutic target for hepatoma treatment.
