MYC and PVT1 synergize to regulate RSPO1 levels in breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Copy number gain of the 8q24 region including the v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (MYC) oncogene has been observed in many different cancers and is associated with poor outcomes. While the role of MYC in tumor formation has been clearly delineated, we have recently shown that co-operation between adjacent long non-coding RNA plasmacytoma variant transcription 1 (PVT1) and MYC is necessary for tumor promotion. Chromosome engineered mice containing an increased copy of Myc-Pvt1 (Gain Myc-Pvt1) accelerates mammary tumors in MMTV-Neu mice, while single copy increase of each is not sufficient. In addition, mammary epithelium from the Gain Myc-Pvt1 mouse show precancerous phenotypes, notably increased DNA replication, elevated -H2AX phosphorylation and increased ductal branching. In an attempt to capture the molecular signatures in pre-cancerous cells we utilized RNA sequencing to identify potential targets of supernumerary Myc-Pvt1 cooperation in mammary epithelial cells. In this extra view we show that an extra copy of both Myc and Pvt1 leads to increased levels of Rspo1, a crucial regulator of canonical ?-catenin signaling required for female development. Human breast cancer tumors with high levels of MYC transcript have significantly more PVT1 transcript and RSPO1 transcript than tumors with low levels of MYC showing that the murine results are relevant to a subset of human tumors. Thus, this work identifies a key mechanism in precancerous and cancerous tissue by which a main player in female differentiation is transcriptionally activated by supernumerary MYC and PVT1, leading to increased premalignant features, and ultimately to tumor formation.

Project description:BackgroundLong-non-coding RNA PVT1 (lncRNA PVT1) can be used as an oncogenic regulatory non-coding RNA (ncRNA) for many cancers. However, its function and mechanism in breast cancer (BRCA) are still not clearly elucidated.ObjectiveWe attempt to explain the mechanism of PVT1's role in breast cancer from different perspectives.MethodsWe analyzed the expression of PVT1 and its correlation with the breast cancer related clinical data in the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We used PVT1 overexpression and knockdown lentivirus to infect breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell line for cell function verification, in vitro using CCK-8 to measure proliferation, flow cytometry to measure apoptosis, transwell test to measure invasion and migration ability, detecting cell extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) to assess glycolysis metabolism and explore the biological functions of PVT1 in breast cancer cells. Transcriptome sequencing was used to analyze the changes of related genes in cells after overexpression of PVT1. In vivo we used a xenograft model to study the effect of PVT1 on breast cancer.ResultsPVT1 was up-regulated in breast cancer tissues and was positively correlated with the clinical stage of breast cancer patients. Overexpression of PVT1 in vitro promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted tumor growth in vivo. Knockdown of PVT1 led to the opposite biological consequence. Further bioinformatics analysis showed that PVT1 changes the glycolysis metabolism of tumors through regulation of glycolysis-related genes. In addition, the expression of miR-145-5p is negatively correlated with PVT1. We consider the possibility of PVT1 promoting cell proliferation and metastasis by regulating the aerobic glucose metabolism in breast cancer cells through sponging the miR-145-5p.ConclusionOur results reveal a potential pathway for competing endogenous RNA to regulate breast cancer glucose metabolism. PVT1 regulates glycolysis related genes expression by competitively binding to endogenous miR-145-5p in breast cancer cells to change the metabolic phenotype. This may Provide new ideas for precise molecular therapy targets for breast cancer.
