MiRNA-378 reverses chemoresistance to cisplatin in lung adenocarcinoma cells by targeting secreted clusterin.

ABSTRACT: Cisplatin resistance is a major obstacle in the treatment of NSCLC, and its mechanism has not been fully elucidated. The objectives of the study were to determine the role of miR-378 in the sensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma cells to cisplatin (cDDP) and its working mechanism. With TargetScan and luciferase assay, miR-378 was found to directly target sCLU. miR-378 and sCLU were regulated in A549/cDDP and Anip973/cDDP cells to investigate the effect of miR-378 on the sensitivity and apoptotic effects of cDDP. The effect of miR-378 upregulation on tumor growth was analyzed in a nude mouse xenograft model. The correlation between miR-378 and chemoresistance was tested in patient samples. We found that upregulation of miR-378 in A549/cDDP and Anip973/cDDP cells significantly down-regulated sCLU expression, and sensitized these cells to cDDP. miR-378 overexpression inhibited tumor growth and sCLU expression in a xenograft animal model. Analysis of human lung adenocarcinoma tissues revealed that the cDDP sensitive group expressed higher levels of miR-378 and lower levels of sCLU. miR-378 and sCLU were negatively correlated. To conclude, we identified sCLU as a novel miR-378 target, and we showed that targeting sCLU via miR-378 may help disable the chemoresistance against cisplatin in lung adenocarcinoma cells.

VPS33B suppresses lung adenocarcinoma metastasis and chemoresistance to cisplatin.

Project description:The presence of VPS33B in tumors has rarely been reported. Downregulated VPS33B protein expression is an unfavorable factor that promotes the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Overexpressed VPS33B was shown to reduce the migration, invasion, metastasis, and chemoresistance of LUAD cells to cisplatin (DDP) in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistic analyses have indicated that VPS33B first suppresses epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Ras/ERK signaling, which further reduces the expression of the oncogenic factor c-Myc. Downregulated c-Myc expression reduces the rate at which it binds the p53 promoter and weakens its transcription inhibition; therefore, decreased c-Myc stimulates p53 expression, leading to decreased epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signal. NESG1 has been shown to be an unfavorable indicator of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, NESG1 was identified as an interactive protein of VPS33B. In addition, NESG1 was found to exhibit mutual stimulation with VPS33B via reduced RAS/ERK/c-Jun-mediated transcription repression. Knockdown of NESG1 activated EGFR/Ras/ERK/c-Myc signaling and further downregulated p53 expression, which thus activated EMT signaling and promoted LUAD migration and invasion. Finally, we observed that nicotine suppressed VPS33B expression by inducing PI3K/AKT/c-Jun-mediated transcription suppression. Our study demonstrates that VPS33B as a tumor suppressor is significantly involved in the pathogenesis of LUAD.

α-Hederin promotes ferroptosis and reverses cisplatin chemoresistance in non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:BackgroundCisplatin is a core chemotherapy regimen in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, chemoresistance to cisplatin leads to a poor prognosis in NSCLC. α-Hederin is a natural compound extracted from Nigella sativa. The study aims to explore the effects of α-Hederin on cisplatin resistance in NSCLC.MethodsNSCLC cisplatin-resistant cell lines A549/DPP and PC-9 were cultured to evaluate the efficacy of α-Hederin in the treatment of NSCLC in vitro and in vivo. Metabolomics and RNA-seq analysis were used to determine the potential mechanisms of action of α-Hederin.ResultsThe results showed that α-Hederin inhibited cisplatin-resistant NSCLC cells proliferation and metastasis. Mice xenograft, orthotopic, and metastatic A549/DPP cell models also showed the anti-tumor effects of α-Hederin. The metabolomics and RNA-seq analysis results showed that α-Hederin activated DDIT3/ATF3 pathway and ferroptosis via silencing SLC7A11 and GPX4. Furthermore, α-Hederin enhanced the nuclear expression of EGR1. Bioinformatics and luciferase experiments confirmed that EGR1 binds to the miR-96-5p promoter region, inhibiting transcription. In addition, miR-96-5p directly suppressed the levels of DDIT3.ConclusionThis study revealed that α-Hederin activated EGR1 nuclear translocation and directly repressed miR-96-5p. It also promoted DDIT3/ATF3-mediated ferroptosis and reversed cisplatin resistance in NSCLC.

Depleted aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) reverses cisplatin resistance of human lung adenocarcinoma cell A549/DDP.

Project description:BackgroundCisplatin is the standard first-line chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, resistance to chemotherapy has been a major obstacle in the management of NSCLC. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) overexpression has been observed in a variety of cancers, including lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ALDH1A1 expression on cisplatin resistance and explore the mechanism responsible.MethodsReverse transcriptase-PCR was applied to measure the messenger RNA expression of ALDH1A1, while Western blot assay was employed to evaluate the protein expression of ALDH1A1, B-cell lymphoma 2, Bcl-2-like protein 4, phospho-protein kinase B (p-AKT) and AKT. A short hairpin RNA was used to knockdown ALDH1A1 expression. A 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was used to determine the effect of ALDH1A1 decrease on cell viability. The cell apoptotic rate was tested using flow cytometry assay.ResultsALDH1A1 is overexpressed in cisplatin resistant cell line A549/DDP, compared with A549. ALDH1A1 depletion significantly decreased A549/DDP proliferation, increased apoptosis, and reduced cisplatin resistance. In addition, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) / AKT pathway is activated in A549/DDP, and ALDH1A1 knockdown reduced the phosphorylation level of AKT. Moreover, the combination of ALDH1A1-short hairpin RNA and PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitor LY294002 markedly inhibited cell viability, enhanced apoptotic cell death, and increased cisplatin sensitivity.ConclusionThese results suggest that ALDH1A1 depletion could reverse cisplatin resistance in human lung cancer cell line A549/DDP, and may act as a potential target for the treatment of lung cancers resistant to cisplatin.

MiR-224 promotes the chemoresistance of human lung adenocarcinoma cells to cisplatin via regulating G₁/S transition and apoptosis by targeting p21(WAF1/CIP1).

Project description:BackgroundIncreasing evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) can serve as oncogenes and tumour suppressors to participate in tumour development. However, the roles of miRNAs in chemoresistance of human lung adenocarcinoma (LA) remain largely undefined.MethodsOn the basis of miRNA microarray data, miR-224 was identified as the most upregulated miRNA in cisplatin (DDP; cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II)-resistant A549 cells compared with parental A549 cells. The aim of our study was to investigate the roles of miR-224 in the formation of DDP-resistant phenotype of LA cells and its possible molecular mechanisms.ResultsHere we showed that miR-224 could promote the in vitro and in vivo DDP resistance of LA cells via regulating G1/S cell cycle transition and apoptosis. p21(WAF1/CIP1), a potent cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, was identified as the direct and functional target gene of miR-224. Overexpression of p21(WAF1/CIP1) could phenocopy the effect of miR-224 downregulation and silencing of p21(WAF1/CIP1) could partially reverse the effect of miR-224 downregulation on DDP resistance of DDP-resistant LA cells. In addition, miR-224 could affect the G1/S transition of cell cycle and apoptosis in LA cells through the p21(WAF1/CIP1)-pRb pathway and the intrinsic mitochondrial death pathway. Furthermore, miR-224 was found to be downregulated in DDP-responding LA tissues, and its expression was inversely correlated with p21(WAF1/CIP1). Multivariate analyses indicated that the status of miR-224 might be an independent prognostic factor for predicting the survival of LA patients.ConclusionsOur findings shed novel light on the roles of miR-224/p21(WAF1/CIP1) signalling in the DDP resistance of LA cells, and targeting it will be a potential strategic approach for reversing the DDP resistance in human LAs.

Roles for miRNA-378/378* in adipocyte gene expression and lipogenesis.

Project description:In this study, we explored the roles of microRNAs in adipocyte differentiation and metabolism. We first knocked down Argonaute2 (Ago2), a key enzyme in the processing of micro-RNAs (miRNAs), to investigate a potential role for miRNAs in adipocyte differentiation and/or metabolism. Although we did not observe dramatic differences in adipogenesis between Ago2 knock-down and control 3T3-L1 cells, incorporation of [(14)C]glucose or acetate into triacylglycerol, and steady-state levels of triacyglycerol were all reduced, suggesting a role for miRNAs in adipocyte metabolism. To study roles of specific miRNAs in adipocyte biology, we screened for miRNAs that are differentially expressed between preadipocytes and adipocytes for the 3T3-L1 and ST2 cell lines. Distinct subsets of miRNAs decline or increase during adipocyte conversion, whereas most miRNAs are not regulated. One locus encoding two miRNAs, 378/378*, contained within the intron of PGC-1beta is highly induced during adipogenesis. When overexpressed in ST2 mesenchymal precursor cells, miRNA378/378* increases the size of lipid droplets and incorporation of [(14)C]acetate into triacylglycerol. Although protein and mRNA expression levels of C/EBPalpha, C/EBPbeta, C/EBPdelta, and PPARgamma1 are unchanged, microarray and quantitative RT-PCR analyses indicate that a set of lipogenic genes are upregulated, perhaps due to increased expression of PPARgamma2. Knock-down of miRNA378 and/or miRNA378* decreases accumulation of triacylglycerol. Interestingly, we made the unexpected finding that miRNA378/378* specifically increases transcriptional activity of C/EBPalpha and C/EBPbeta on adipocyte gene promoters.

Melatonin reverses nasopharyngeal carcinoma cisplatin chemoresistance by inhibiting the Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway.

Project description:Cisplatin (DDP)-based concurrent chemo-radiotherapy is a standard approach to treat locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, many patients eventually develop recurrence and/or distant metastasis due to chemoresistance. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effects of melatonin on DDP chemoresistance in NPC cell lines in vitro and vivo, and we explored potential chemoresistance mechanisms. We found that DDP chemoresistance in NPC cells is mediated through the Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway. Melatonin not only reversed DDP chemoresistance, but also enhanced DDP antitumor activity by suppressing the nuclear translocation of ?-catenin, and reducing expression of Wnt/?-catenin response genes in NPC cells. In vivo, combined treatment with DDP and melatonin reduced tumor burden to a greater extent than single drug-treatments in an orthotopic xenograft mouse model. Our findings provide novel evidence that melatonin inhibits the Wnt/?-catenin pathway in NPC, and suggest that melatonin could be applied in combination with DDP to treat NPC.

TRIM44 promotes BRCA1 functions in HR repair to induce Cisplatin Chemoresistance in Lung Adenocarcinoma by Deubiquitinating FLNA.

Project description:Tripartite motif-containing 44 (TRIM44) has recently been implicated in various pathological processes in numerous cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD); however, its functional roles in chemoresistance are poorly understood. Herein, TRIM44 knockdown sensitized LUAD cells to cisplatin and enhanced cisplatin-induced apoptosis. Microarray analysis indicated that the "Role of BRCA1 in DNA damage" and the BRCA1 gene expression were positively regulated by TRIM44, which was further verified by immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting. BRCA1 depletion effectively abolished TRIM44-modulated cisplatin resistance and regulation of homologous recombination (HR) repair. Interestingly, TRIM44 interacted with FLNA, an upstream regulator of BRCA1 as specified by STRING V 11.5, and facilitated its stability and deubiquitination. FLNA was also found to be required for the functions of TRIM44 in drug resistance. Using animal models, overexpression of TRIM44 was shown to confer resistance to cisplatin in a BRCA1- and FLNA-dependent manner. TRIM44 expression levels in tissues from cisplatin-resistant LUAD patients were significantly higher than those in tissues from cisplatin-sensitive LUAD patients. Collectively, our study results demonstrate that the TRIM44/FLNA/BRCA1 axis is involved in cisplatin chemoresistance, providing potential therapeutic targets for LUAD patients with cisplatin resistance.

miR-134-5p Promotes Stage I Lung Adenocarcinoma Metastasis and Chemoresistance by Targeting DAB2.

Project description:Despite surgery and adjuvant therapy, early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) treatment often fails due to local or metastatic recurrence. However, the mechanism is largely unknown. Here, we report that increased expression levels of miR-134-5p and decreased levels of disabled-2 (DAB2) were significantly correlated with recurrence in stage I LUAD patients. Our data show that miR-134-5p overexpression or DAB2 silencing strongly stimulated LUAD cell metastasis and chemoresistance. In contrast, inhibition of miR-134-5p or overexpression of DAB2 strongly suppressed LUAD cell metastasis and overcame the insensitivity of chemoresistant LUAD cells to chemotherapy. In addition, we demonstrated that DAB2 is a target of miR-134-5p and that miR-134-5p stimulates chemoresistance and metastasis through DAB2 in LUAD. Taken together, these findings suggest that miR-134-5p and its target gene DAB2 have potential as a biomarker for predicting recurrence in stage I LUAD patients. Additionally, miR-134-5p inhibition or DAB2 restoration may be a novel strategy for inhibiting LUAD metastasis and overcoming LUAD cell resistance to chemotherapy.

Regulation of MicroRNA-497-Targeting AKT2 Influences Tumor Growth and Chemoresistance to Cisplatin in Lung Cancer.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNA-497 (miR-497) has been implicated in several cancers. Increasing studies demonstrate the role of AKT2 in cancers as an oncogene which is closely associated with tumor aggressiveness by enhancing cancer cell survival, migration and invasion However, miR-497/AKT2 axis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear.MethodsQuantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to quantify the expression of miR-497 and its target gene. The function of miR-497 in lung cancer was investigated through in vitro and in vivo assays (cell proliferation assay, cell migration assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry assay, immunoblotting and tumorigenesis assay). Luciferase reporter assay was conducted to confirm the target gene of miR-497.ResultsIn this study, we found that miR-497 was significantly downregulated in tumor tissues and blood samples of lung cancer patients. To understand the potential mechanism of miR-497 in inhibiting tumor growth, we showed that miR-497 blocked the activation of AKT2 and regulated cell proliferation, cell migration, colony formation and increases chemosensitivity of H1299 cells to cisplatin by inhibiting AKT2. MiR-497 also inhibited tumor growth and suppressed expression of AKT2 at the protein and mRNA levels in mouse xenograft tumors.ConclusionTaken together, our findings indicated that miR-497 suppresses the tumor growth by targeting AKT2, and the miR-497/AKT2 axis is a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC intervention.

MicroRNA-103a-3p potentiates chemoresistance to cisplatin in non-small cell lung carcinoma by targeting neurofibromatosis 1.

Project description:Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide, and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) contributes to ~80% of these deaths. However, both primary and acquired cisplatin resistance frequently occurs within the disease and represents a huge clinical treatment problem. The underlying molecular mechanisms are not yet completely understood, but in recent years, microRNAs (miR) have been reported to play vital roles in the development of lung cancer and chemoresistance. In the present study, it was revealed that there were increased expression levels of miR-103a-3p in both NSCLC cell lines and human NSCLC samples that exhibited resistance to cisplatin. The results also revealed that the inhibition of miR-103a-3p in A549/cisplatin cells significantly sensitized these cells to cisplatin, while inhibition of miR-103a-3p expression inhibited tumor growth and enhanced the function of cisplatin in a xenograft animal model. Furthermore, the present study demonstrated that miR-103a-3p regulates cisplatin resistance by targeting neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) via activating ERK signaling in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, NF1 was identified as a special miR-103a-3p target in the present study, and it was revealed that targeting NF1 via miR-103a-3p may help reverse chemoresistance and provide a biomarker to cisplatin responsiveness in NSCLC.
