LINC00052 regulates the expression of NTRK3 by miR-128 and miR-485-3p to strengthen HCC cells invasion and migration.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are a group of RNAs that are more than 200 nt in length but cannot encode proteins. Accumulating evidences showed that abnormal LncRNA expressions are highly involved in many kinds of tumor. By using gene trap methods which could knockdown gene expression to find important genes, we found one LncRNA which called intergenic non-protein coding RNA 52 (LINC00052) has the ability to inhibit invasion and migration of hepatocarcinoma cells. We found that invasion, migration and proliferation abilities in SMMC7721 cell were inhibited after up-expressing LINC00052. We identified that NTRK3 was the target gene of LINC00052. Down-expression of NTRK3 could increase SMMC7721 cell invasion, migration and proliferation. Meanwhile, we discovered that LINC00052 could regulate NTRK3 expression by forming complementary base pairing with miR-128 and miR-485-3p to reduce the luciferase activity of NTRK3 3'UTR. These results reveal a new mechanism for understanding hepatocarcinoma cells invasion and migration.

Project description:Long non‑coding RNA forkhead box D3 antisense RNA 1 (FOXD3‑AS1) functions as an oncogenic regulator in several types of cancer, including breast cancer, glioma and cervical cancer. However, the effects and mechanisms underlying FOXD3‑AS1 in cervical cancer (CC) are not completely understood. The present study aimed to investigate the biological functions and potential molecular mechanisms underlying FOXD3‑AS1 in CC progression. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR was performed to detect FOXD3‑AS1, microRNA (miR)‑128‑3p and LIM domain kinase 1 (LIMK1) expression levels in CC tissues and cells. Immunohistochemical staining and western blotting were conducted to assess LIMK1 protein expression levels in CC tissues and cells, respectively. Cell Counting Kit‑8 and BrdU assays were used to determine the role of FOXD3‑AS1 in regulating cell proliferation. CC cell migration and invasion were assessed by performing Transwell assays. Dual‑luciferase reporter assays were conducted to verify the binding between miR‑128‑3p and FOXD3‑AS1. FOXD3‑AS1 expression was significantly increased in CC tissues and cell lines compared with adjacent healthy tissues and normal cervical epithelial cells, respectively. High FOXD3‑AS1 expression was significantly associated with poor differentiation of tumor tissues, increased tumor size and positive lymph node metastasis. FOXD3‑AS1 overexpression significantly increased CC cell proliferation, migration and invasion compared with the negative control (NC) group, whereas FOXD3‑AS1 knockdown resulted in the opposite effects compared with the small interfering RNA‑NC group. Moreover, the results demonstrated that FOXD3‑AS1 targeted and negatively regulated miR‑128‑3p, which indirectly upregulated LIMK1 expression. Therefore, the present study demonstrated that FOXD3‑AS1 upregulated LIMK1 expression via competitively sponging miR‑128‑3p in CC cells, promoting CC progression.

Project description:BackgroundN6-methyladenosine (m6 A) RNA modification has been demonstrated to be a significant regulatory process in the progression of various tumors, including breast cancer. Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) enzyme, initially known as the obesity-related protein, is the first identified m6 A demethylase. However, the relationship between FTO and breast cancer remains controversial. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the role and clinical significance of FTO in breast cancer and to explore the underlying mechanism.MethodsWe first investigated the expression of FTO in breast cancer cell lines and tissues by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Wound healing assay and Transwell assay were performed to determine the migration and invasion abilities of SKBR3 and MDA-MB453 cells with either knockdown or overexpression of FTO. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was conducted to decipher the downstream targets of FTO. qRT-PCR, luciferase reporter assay, and Western blotting were employed to confirm the existence of the FTO/miR-181b-3p/ARL5B axis. The biological function of ADP ribosylation factor like GTPase 5B (ARL5B) in breast cancer cells was evaluated by wound healing assay and Transwell invasion assay.ResultsHigh FTO expression was observed in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer, predicting advanced progression (tumor size [P < 0.001], nuclear grade [P = 0.001], peritumoral lymphovascular invasion [P < 0.001), lymph node metastasis [P = 0.002], and TNM stage [P = 0.001]) and poor prognosis. Moreover, FTO promoted cell invasion and migration in vitro. Mechanistically, RNA-seq and further confirmation studies suggested that FTO up-regulated ARL5B by inhibiting miR-181b-3p. We further verified that ARL5B also displayed carcinogenic activity in breast cancer cells.ConclusionOur work demonstrated the carcinogenic activity of FTO in promoting the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells via the FTO/miR-181b-3p/ARL5B signaling pathway.
