MiR-101 Inhibiting Cell Proliferation, Migration and Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma through Downregulating Girdin.

ABSTRACT: miR-101 is considered to play an important role in hepato-cellular carcinoma (HCC), but the underlying molecular mechanism remains to be elucidated. Here, we aimed to confirm whether Girdin is a target gene of miR-101 and determine the tumor suppressor of miR-101 through Girdin pathway. In our previous studies, we firstly found Girdin protein was overexpressed in HCC tissues, and it closely correlated to tumor size, T stage, TNM stage and Edmondson-Steiner stage of HCC patients. After specific small interfering RNA of Girdin was transfected into HepG2 and Huh7.5.1 cells, the proliferation and invasion ability of tumor cells were significantly inhibited. In this study, we further explored the detailed molecular mechanism of Girdin in HCC. Interestingly, we found that miR-101 significantly low-expressed in HCC tissues compared with that in matched normal tissues while Girdin had a relative higher expression, and miR-101 was inversely correlated with Girdin expression. In addition, after miR-101 transfection, the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of HepG2 cells were weakened. Furthermore, we confirmed that Girdin is a direct target gene of miR-101. Finally we confirmed Talen-mediated Girdin knockout markedly suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion in HCC while down-regulation of miR-101 significantly restored the inhibitory effect. Our findings suggested that miR-101/Girdin axis could be a potential application of HCC treatment.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) serve as important regulators of the tumorigenesis and progression of many human cancers. Therefore, we evaluated the biological function and underlying mechanism of miR-363 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).MethodsThe expression of miR-363 in ccRCC tissues compared with adjacent normal renal tissues was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and the association between miR-363 levels and prognosis of ccRCC patients was analyzed. The candidate target gene of miR-363 was determined by in silico analysis and luciferase reporter assays. The effects of miR-363 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of ccRCC cells in vitro were determined by MTS assay, colony formation assay, Transwell assay and wound healing assay. We also investigated the roles of miR-363 in vivo by a xenograft tumour model. The mechanism of miR-363 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of ccRCC was determined by gain- and loss-of-function analyses.Resultswe demonstrated that miR-363 expression was obviously downregulated in ccRCC tissues and that reduced miR-363 expression was correlated with poor disease-free survival (DFS) in ccRCC patients after surgery. S1PR1 expression was inversely correlated with the level of miR-363 in human ccRCC samples. Luciferase reporter assays suggested that S1PR1 was a direct functional target of miR-363. miR-363 downregulated S1PR1 expression and suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of ccRCC cells in vitro and suppressed xenograft tumour growth in vivo. Importantly, miR-363 exerted its biological function by inhibiting S1PR1 expression in ccRCC cells, leading to the repression of ERK activation. Moreover, we found that the levels of downstream effectors of ERK, including PDGF-A, PDGF-B, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related genes, were decreased after miR-363 overexpression.ConclusionsOur results suggest that miR-363 acts as a tumour suppressor by directly targeting S1PR1 in ccRCC and may be a potential new therapeutic target for ccRCC.
