High Expression of XRCC6 Promotes Human Osteosarcoma Cell Proliferation through the ?-Catenin/Wnt Signaling Pathway and Is Associated with Poor Prognosis.

ABSTRACT: Increasing evidences show that XRCC6 (X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 6) was upregulated and involved in tumor growth in several tumor types. However, the correlation of XRCC6 and human osteosarcoma (OS) is still unknown. This study was conducted with the aim to reveal the expression and biological function of XRCC6 in OS and elucidate the potential mechanism. The mRNA expression level of XRCC6 was measured in osteosarcoma cells and OS samples by quantitative transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR). The expression of XRCC6 protein was measured using Western blot and immunohistochemical staining in osteosarcoma cell lines and patient samples. Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8), colony-forming and cell cycle assays were used to test cell survival capacity. We found that XRCC6 was overexpressed in OS cells and OS samples compared with the adjacent non-tumorous samples. High expression of XRCC6 was correlated with clinical stage and tumor size in OS. Reduced expression of XRCC6 inhibits OS cell proliferation through G2/M phase arrest. Most importantly, further experiments demonstrated that XRCC6 might regulate OS growth through the ?-catenin/Wnt signaling pathway. In conclusion, these findings indicate that XRCC6 exerts tumor-promoting effects for OS through ?-catenin/Wnt signaling pathway. XRCC6 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for OS patients.

Project description:Osteosarcoma (OS) is a rare type of tumor and mostly occurs in children and adolescents. Approximately 10‑25% of patients with OS have lung metastases, and lung damage caused by lung metastasis is the main cause of mortality. Therefore, studying the growth and metastasis of OS is key in reducing OS mortality and improving prognosis. The expression of long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA) cancer susceptibility 15 (CASC15) in OS patients or OS cell lines were quantified by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR). The expression of vimentin, E‑cadherin, N‑cadherin, and cyclin D were detected by RT‑qPCR and western blotting. Mice were injected with OS cell lines via the tail vein to observe tumor formation in the lung. CCK‑8 and EdU assays were utilized to evaluate cell proliferation. Both Ttranswell assay and cell scratch test detected cell migration. The results revealed that lncRNA‑CASC15 was highly expressed in clinical samples and OS cells. In vitro verification experiments revealed that CASC15 promoted the growth of OS cells. Rescue experiments demonstrated that CASC15 affected the cell cycle by activating the Wnt/β‑catenin pathway, thereby promoting cell proliferation. Furthermore, the transfection dose test indicated that lentiviruses expressing various doses of CASC15‑overexpression (oe‑CASC15) altered the proliferation and migration status of OS cells. CASC15 promoted OS cell metastasis both in vivo and in vitro. The overexpression of CASC15 revealed that the occurrence of metastasis was also related to the Wnt/β‑catenin pathway. The western blotting results revealed that CASC15 could lead to β‑catenin entering the nucleus via the Wnt pathway to promote the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) of OS cells. To sum up, CASC15 promoted the proliferation of OS cells in vitro and the growth of OS xenograft tumors in vivo. Moreover, CASC15 promoted the entry of β‑catenin into the nucleus, thus activating the Wnt pathway and subsequently promoting the EMT of OS cells.

Project description:BackgroundThe long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) OTUD6B antisense RNA 1 (OTUD6B-AS1) is oriented in an antisense direction to the protein-coding gene OTUD6B on the opposite DNA strand. TCGA database data show that the expression of the lncRNA OTUD6B-AS1 is downregulated and that OTUD6B-AS1 acts as an antioncogene in a variety of tumors. However, the expression and biological functions of the lncRNA OTUD6B-AS1 are still unknown in tumors, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).MethodsThe expression level of OTUD6B-AS1 was measured in 75 paired human ccRCC tissue and corresponding adjacent normal renal tissue samples. The correlations between the OTUD6B-AS1 expression level and clinicopathological features were evaluated using the chi-square test. The effects of OTUD6B-AS1 on ccRCC cells were determined via MTT assay, clone formation assay, transwell assay, and flow cytometry. Furthermore, the impact of OTUD6B-AS1 overexpression on the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was investigated. Finally, ACHN cells with OTUD6B-AS1 overexpression were subcutaneously injected into nude mice to evaluate the influence of OTUD6B-AS1 on tumor growth in vivo.ResultsIn this study, we found that the expression of the lncRNA OTUD6B-AS1 was downregulated in ccRCC tissue samples and that patients with low OTUD6B-AS1 expression had shorter overall survival than patients with high OTUD6B-AS1 expression, which showed that the different expression level of OTUD6B-AS1 indirectly correlated with survival of patients. Lentivirus-mediated OTUD6B-AS1 overexpression significantly decreased the proliferation of ccRCC cells and promoted the apoptosis of the cells. Furthermore, OTUD6B-AS1 overexpression partly inhibited cell migration and invasion. The overexpression of OTUD6B-AS1 decreased the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and suppressed the expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins (E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Snail) in ccRCC cells. In addition, compared with the parental ACHN cells, OTUD6B-AS1-overexpressing ACHN cells injected into nude mice exhibited decreased tumor growth in vivo.ConclusionsTaken together, our findings present a road map for targeting the newly identified lncRNA OTUD6B-AS1 to suppress ccRCC progression in cell lines, and these results elucidate a novel potential therapeutic target for ccRCC treatment.
