MiR-497-5p inhibits cell proliferation and invasion by targeting KCa3.1 in angiosarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor with poor prognosis. We aimed to identify malignancy-associated miRNAs and their target genes, and explore biological functions of miRNA and its target in angiosarcoma. By miRNA microarrays and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, we identified 1 up-regulated miRNA (miR-222-3p) and 3 down-regulated miRNAs (miR-497-5p, miR-378-3p and miR-483-5p) in human angiosarcomas compared with human capillary hemangiomas. The intermediate-conductance calcium activated potassium channel KCa3.1 was one of the putative target genes of miR-497-5p, and marked up-regulation of KCa3.1 was detected in angiosarcoma biopsy specimens by immunohistochemistry. The inverse correlation of miR-497-5p and KCa3.1 also was observed in the ISO-HAS angiosarcoma cell line at the mRNA and protein levels. The direct targeting of KCa3.1 by miR-497-5p was evidenced by reduced luciferase activity due to complementary binding of miR-497-5p to KCa3.1 mRNA 3' untranslated region. For the functional role of miR-497-5p/KCa3.1 pair, we showed that application of TRAM-34, a specific KCa3.1 channel blocker, or transfection of ISO-HAS cells with KCa3.1 siRNA or miR-497-5p mimics inhibited cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and invasion by down-regulating cell-cycle related proteins including cyclin D1, surviving and P53 and down-regulating matrix metallopeptidase 9. In an in vivo angiosarcoma xenograft model, TRAM-34 or miR-497-5p mimics both inhibited tumor growth. In conclusion, the tumor suppressor miR-497-5p down-regulates KCa3.1 expression and contributes to the inhibition of angiosarcoma malignancy development. The miR-497-5p or KCa3.1 might be potential new targets for angiosarcoma treatment.

Project description:Glioma is an extremely aggressive malignant neoplasm of the central nervous system. MicroRNA (miRNA) are known to bind to specific target mRNA to regulate post-transcriptional gene expression and are, therefore, currently regarded as promising biomarkers for glioma diagnosis and prognosis. The aim of the present study was to examine the pathogenesis and potential molecular markers of glioma by comparing the differential expression of miRNA and mRNA between glioma tissue and peritumor brain tissue. We explored the impact of screened core miRNA and mRNA on cell proliferation, invasion, and migration of glioma. An miRNA expression profile dataset (GSE90603) and a transcriptome profile dataset (GSE90598) were downloaded from combined miRNA-mRNA microarray chips in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Overall, 59 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and 419 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the R limma software package. FunRich software was used to predict DEM target genes and miRNA-gene pairs, and Perl software was used to find overlapping genes between DEGs and DEM target genes. There were 129 overlapping genes regulated by nine miRNAs between target genes of the DEMs and DEGs. The Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas(CGGA) was analyzed in order to identify miRNAs with diagnostic and prognostic significance. MiR-139-5p, miR-137, and miR-338-3p were validated to be significantly linked to prognosis in glioma patients. Finally, we validated that miR-139-5p affected glioma malignant biological behavior via targeting gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor alpha 1(GABRA1) through rescue experiments. Low miR-139-5p expression was correlated with survival probability and World Health Organization (WHO) grade. MiR-139-5p overexpression inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of glioma in vitro. GABRA1 was identified as a functional downstream target of miR-139-5p. Decreased GABRA1 expression was related to similar biological roles as miR-139-5p overexpression while upregulation of GABRA1 effectively reversed the inhibition effects of miR-139-5p. These results demonstrate a novel axis for miR-139-5p/GABRA1 in glioma progression and provide potential prognostic predictors and therapeutic target for glioma patients.

Project description:This study was aimed to explore the effects of miR-29a-5p expression and its target gene TPX2 (target protein for Xenopus kinesin-like protein 2) on endometrial cancer (EC) devel on EC development and to assess the prognostic impacts of TPX2. Microarray-based GEO and TCGA (the Cancer Genome Atlas) EC expression data were used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs. The observed potential target relationship between miR-29a-5p and TPX2 was verified using TargetScan and luciferase reporter assays. The mRNA and protein expression levels of miR-29a-5p and TPX2 were confirmed by qRT-PCR and western blot, respectively. Associations between TPX2 expression and patient prognosis were assessed using Kaplan-Meier and log-rank assays. Changes in EC-derived cell proliferation, invasion and apoptosis after exogenous miR-29a-5p and TPX2 over-expression and/or silencing were assessed using CCK-8 (cell counting kit-8), colony formation, Transwell and flow cytometry assays, respectively. We found that in primary EC tissues the expression of miR-29a-5p was down-regulated and the expression of TPX2 was up-regulated. We also found that low expression of TPX2 were associated with a better prognosis, and vice versa. Subsequent exogenous miR-29a-5p over-expression and TPX2 silencing could inhibit EC-derived cell proliferation and invasion, and to induce apoptosis. We also found that miR-29a-5p might target and repress TPX2, thereby inhibiting EC-derived cell proliferation and invasion and enhancing apoptosis. We conclude that miR-29a-5p could inhibit the proliferation and invasion of EC-derived cells and enhance the apoptosis of EC-derived cells via TPX2 down-regulation. A high TPX2 expression in primary EC tissues was found to be associated with a poor prognosis. As such, these biomarkers may serve as promising prognostic indicators.AbbreviationsEC: Endometrial cancer; 3'-UTR: 3'-untranslated regions; TPX2: target protein for Xenopus kinesin-like protein 2; TCGA: the Cancer Genome Atlas; UCEC: uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma; CCK-8: cell counting kit-8; OD: optical density; FCM: flow cytometry; EMT: epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
