LncRNA MALAT1 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate ZEB2 expression by sponging miR-200s in clear cell kidney carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) play a critical role in the development of cancers. LncRNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1(MALAT1) has recently been identified to be involved in tumorigenesis of several cancers such as lung cancer, bladder cancer and so on. Here, we found that MALAT1 exist a higher fold change (Tumor/Normal) in clear cell kidney carcinoma (KIRC) from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Data Portal and a negative correlation with miR-200s family. We further demonstrated MALAT1 promote KIRC proliferation and metastasis through sponging miR-200s in vitro and in vivo. In addition, miR-200c can partly reverse the MALAT1's stimulation on proliferation and metastasis in KIRC. In summary we unveil a branch of the MALAT1/miR-200s/ZEB2 pathway that regulates the progression of KIRC. The inhibition of MALAT1 expression may be a promising strategy for KIRC therapy.

The lncRNA MALAT1 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate MCL-1 expression by sponging miR-363-3p in gallbladder cancer.

Project description:Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is an aggressive neoplasm, and the treatment options for advanced GBC are limited. Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as new gene regulators and prognostic markers in several cancers. In this study, we found that metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) expression was up-regulated in GBC tissues (P < 0.05). Luciferase reporter assays and RNA pull down assays showed that MALAT1 is a target of miR-363-3p. Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis indicated that MALAT1 regulated Myeloid cell leukaemia-1 (MCL-1) expression as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for miR-363-3p in GBC cells. Furthermore, MALAT1 silencing decreased GBC cell proliferation and the S phase cell population and induced apoptosis in vitro. In vivo, tumour volumes were significantly decreased in the MALAT1 silencing group compared with those in the control group. These data demonstrated that the MALAT1/miR-363-3p/MCL-1 regulatory pathway controls the progression of GBC. Inhibition of MALAT1 expression may be to a novel therapeutic strategy for gallbladder cancer.

The lncRNA MALAT1 acts as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate KRAS expression by sponging miR-217 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Project description:The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1 (MALAT1) has been shown to play an important role in tumourigenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of MALAT1 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. MALAT1 is expressed at higher levels in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tissues than in nontumour tissues and in metastatic PDAC than in localized tumours. Patients with PDAC and high MALAT1 expression levels have shorter overall survival than patients with PDAC and low MALAT1 expression levels. Knocking down MALAT1 reduces pancreatic tumour cell growth and proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, MALAT1 knockdown inhibits cell cycle progression and impairs tumour cell migration and invasion. We found that miR-217 can bind MALAT1 and regulate its expression in PDAC cell lines. We also found MALAT1 knockdown attenuates the protein expression of KRAS, a known target of miR-217. After MALAT1 knockdown, KRAS protein expression levels can be rescued through inhibition of miR-217 expression. More importantly, MALAT1 knockdown does not directly affect cellular miR-217 expression but decreases the miR-217 nucleus/cytoplasm ratio, suggesting that MALAT1 inhibits the translocation of miR-217 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

lncRNA MIAT functions as a competing endogenous RNA to upregulate DAPK2 by sponging miR-22-3p in diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Project description:We previously established a rat model of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and found that the expression of long non-coding RNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) was significantly upregulated. The present study was aimed to determine the pathologic role of MIAT in the development of DCM. MIAT knockdown was found to reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis and improve left ventricular function in diabetic rats. High glucose could increase MIAT expression and induce apoptosis in cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes. The results of luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay revealed that MIAT was targeted by miR-22-3p in an AGO2-dependent manner. In addition, the 3'-untranslated region of DAPK2 was fused to the luciferase coding region and transfected into HEK293 cells with miR-22-3p mimic, and the results showed that DAPK2 was a direct target of miR-22-3p. Our findings also indicated that MIAT overexpression could counteract the inhibitory effect of miR-22-3p on DAPK2. Moreover, MIAT knockdown was found to reduce DAPK2 expression and inhibit apoptosis in cardiomyocytes exposed to high glucose. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that MIAT may function as a competing endogenous RNA to upregulate DAPK2 expression by sponging miR-22-3p, which consequently leads to cardiomyocyte apoptosis involved in the pathogenesis of DCM.

LncRNA RP11-79H23.3 Functions as a Competing Endogenous RNA to Regulate PTEN Expression through Sponging hsa-miR-107 in the Development of Bladder Cancer.

Project description:Accumulating evidence indicates that the aberrant expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is involved in tumorigenesis and cancer development. However, the biological functions and underlying mechanisms of lncRNAs in bladder cancer (BC) remain largely unknown. Here, we analyzed the lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in BC using a microarray assay. We found that lncRNA RP11-79H23.3 and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) were significantly downregulated in BC tissues and cells. Meanwhile, RP11-79H23.3 expression was negatively correlated with clinical stage in BC. Functionally, we found that overexpression of RP11-79H23.3 could suppress cell proliferation, migration, and cell cycle progression, rearrange the cytoskeleton, and induce apoptosis in vitro. Moreover, upregulation of RP11-79H23.3 inhibited the angiogenesis, tumorigenesis, and lung metastasis in vivo, whereas RP11-79H23.3 knockdown exerted a contrary role. Mechanistically, we identified that RP11-79H23.3 could directly bind to miR-107 and abolish the suppressive effect on target gene PTEN, which leads to inactivation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Taken together, we first demonstrated that RP11-79H23.3 might suppress the pathogenesis and development of BC by acting as a sponge for miR-107 to increase PTEN expression. Our research revealed that RP11-79H23.3 could be a potential target for diagnosis and therapy of BC.

The lncRNA HOXA11-AS functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate PADI2 expression by sponging miR-125a-5p in liver metastasis of colorectal cancer.

Project description:Several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of liver metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. We previously described the potential involvement of HOMEOBOX A11 (HOXA11) antisense RNA (HOXA11-AS), miR-125a-5p, and peptidyl arginine deiminase 2 (PADI2) in promoting liver metastasis in CRC patients. In the present study, we verified the significant upregulation of HOXA11-AS and PADI2, as well as the downregulation of miR-125a-5p, in CRC patients with liver metastasis. Overexpression and knockdown studies of HOXA11-AS or PADI2, as well as gain-/loss-of-function studies of miR-125a-5p, revealed a positive correlation between HOXA11-AS and PADI2 and a negative correlation with miR-125a-5p in the regulation of liver metastasis in CRC cell lines. Overall, we conclude that HOXA11-AS promotes liver metastasis in CRC by functioning as a miR-125a-5p sponge and describe a novel HOXA11-AS-miR-125a-5p-PADI2 regulatory network involved in CRC liver metastasis.

Long Non-coding RNA SNHG12 Functions as a Competing Endogenous RNA to Regulate MDM4 Expression by Sponging miR-129-5p in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common histological subtype of kidney cancer, shows poor prognosis, and non-sensitivity to radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) has been revealed to play a carcinogenic role in various neoplasms, but the underlying mechanism in ccRCC is still unclear. To explore the potential role of SNHG12 in ccRCC, the data downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) Data Portal was used to compare the expression of SNHG12 in tumors and adjacent normal tissues. MRNA microarray and quantitative real-time PCR revealed that SNHG12 was overexpressed in the ccRCC tissues and cell lines. Functional inhibition of SNHG12 suppressed the viability and mobility of ccRCC cells. Mechanistically, dual luciferase assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay showed that miR-129-5p could bind to SNHG12 directly. There was a negative relationship between SNHG12 and miR-129-5p. What's more, we used bioinformatics-based prediction software to predict the target genes of miR-129-5p. Through data analysis and experimental verification, we found MDM4, a regulatory factor in p53 pathway, was involved in this ceRNA network. Our findings demonstrated that SNHG12 served as a sponge for miR-129-5p to regulate the expression of MDM4 and p53 pathway in the development of ccRCC.

Project description:The critical long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in the carcinogenesis and progression of malignant melanoma (MM) have not been fully investigated. In the present study, it was identified that lncRNA activated by transforming growth factor‑β (lncRNA‑ATB) was upregulated in MM tissues and cells compared with benign nevus cells and human melanocytes, via comparative lncRNA screening from Gene Expression Omnibus datasets and reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Furthermore, lncRNA‑ATB promoted the cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell invasion of MM cells in vitro, and tumor growth in vivo. It was additionally identified that lncRNA‑ATB attenuated cell cycle arrest and inhibited cellular apoptosis in MM cells. Finally, it was demonstrated that lncRNA‑ATB functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to enhance Yes associated protein 1 expression by competitively sponging microRNA miR‑590‑5p in MM cells. In conclusion, the present study revealed the expression and roles of lncRNA‑ATB in MM, and indicated that lncRNA‑ATB functions as a ceRNA to promote MM proliferation and invasion by sponging miR‑590‑5p.

lncRNA PVT1 and its splicing variant function as competing endogenous RNA to regulate clear cell renal cell carcinoma progression.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exert critical regulatory roles in the development and progression of several cancers. Plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1), an lncRNA, was shown to be upregulated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) in our study, while Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression analysis showed that high expression of PVT1 was associated with poor overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) in ccRCC patients. In vitro experiments revealed that PVT1 promoted renal cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while in vivo studies confirmed its oncogenic roles in ccRCC. Further bioinformatic analysis and RNA immunoprecipitation revealed that PVT1 could function as an oncogenic transcript partly through sponging miR-200s to regulate BMI1, ZEB1 and ZEB2 expression. Besides, a novel splicing variant of PVT1 lacking exon 4 (PVT1ΔE4) was found to have a higher expression in ccRCC and could also promote cell proliferation and invasion as the full-length transcript did. Besides, SRSF1 decreased the inclusion of exon 4 of full-length transcript and increased the relative expression of PVT1ΔE4 in ccRCC. Mechanistic investigations indicated that PVT1ΔE4 could also upregulate the expression of BMI1, ZEB1 and ZEB2 through interacting with miR-200s. Our study helps reveal new molecular events in ccRCC and provides promising diagnostic and therapeutic targets for this disease.

NEAT1_2 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate ATAD2 expression by sponging microRNA-106b-5p in papillary thyroid cancer.

Project description:Nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1), a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), is a core structural component of paraspeckles and is essential for paraspeckle formation. NEAT1 comprises two different isoforms: NEAT1_1 (3.7?kb) and NEAT1_2 (23?kb). Recently, NEAT1 has been shown to have oncogenic roles and to facilitate tumorigenesis in various human cancers. However, the function of NEAT1 in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is not well understood. The relative expression levels of NEAT1_2, ATPase family AAA domain-containing protein 2 (ATAD2), and microRNA-106b-5p (miR-106b-5p) were assessed via quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Four PTC cell lines were used to detect the relative expression of NEAT1_2. The effects of NEAT1_2 on PTC cells were studied by RNA interference approaches in vitro. The effects of NEAT1_2 on downstream proteins were detected by western blotting. The underlying mechanism was clarified by a rescue experiment, and three dual-luciferase reporter assays. NEAT1_2 expression was markedly increased in PTC tissues and the PTC cell lines (K1 and TPC1). The relative expression level of NEAT1_2 was positively associated with TNM stage and tumor size. NEAT1_2 knockdown led to a significant inhibition of growth and metastasis, and induced apoptosis in PTC cells. Knockdown of NEAT1_2 significantly inhibited malignant biological behavior by downregulating the oncogene ATAD2. In addition, NEAT1_2 could act as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate the expression of ATAD2 through downregulating miR-106b-5p. Taken together, our results indicated that NEAT1_2 is overexpressed in PTC. NEAT1_2 could function as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate ATAD2 expression by sponging miR-106b-5p in PTC. Targeting NEAT1_2 could be a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with PTC.

Circular RNA hsa_circ_0001306 Functions as a Competing Endogenous RNA to Regulate FBXW7 Expression by Sponging miR-527 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to regulate many types of cancers, including HCC. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential roles of hsa_circ_0001306 in HCC. Firstly, the downregulation of hsa_circ_0001306 was identified by high‑throughput RNA sequencing and further verified by qRT-PCR. Secondly, we evaluated the effects of hsa_circ_0001306 on HCC cell proliferation, invasion, cell cycle. Finally, we used an animal model to validate the in vitro experimental results. The expression of hsa_circ_0001306 was closely related to tumor size. Knockdown of hsa_circ_0001306 could downregulate F-box and WD repeat domain containing 7(FBXW7), a target of miR-527, thereby promoting HCC cell proliferation and invasion. Furthermore, hsa_circ_0001306 siRNA increased the multiplication rate of HCC tumors. Mechanistic studies indicated that hsa_circ_0001306 acts as a ceRNA for miR-527, which resulted in the reduction of its endogenous target, FBXW7. Hsa_circ_001306 is significantly downregulated in HCC, and the hsa_circ_0001306/miR-527/FBXW7 axis plays an important role in HCC progression.
