ING5 suppresses breast cancer progression and is regulated by miR-24.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The inhibitor of growth (ING) gene family of tumor suppressors is involved in multiple cellular functions such as cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and chromatin remodeling. ING5 is a new member of the ING family whose function and regulation remain largely unknown.

Methods

Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot were used to examine the expression levels of ING5 in breast cancer tissues. The miRNAs that potentially targeted ING5 were determined by bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay. Cell viability assay, transwell invasion and apoptosis assay were used to characterize the changes induced by overexpressing or knocking down miR-24 or ING5. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemical staining for ING5 and Ki-67 were used for xenograft assays in BALB/c nude mice.

Results

We showed that the ING5 protein rather than the mRNA, was significantly downregulated in breast cancer tissues. We also investigated the potential function of ING5 in breast tumorigenesis and found that ING5 suppressed the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells and promoted their apoptosis. Furthermore, we explored the molecular mechanisms accounting for the dysregulation of ING5 in breast cancer cells and identified an oncomiR, miR-24, as a direct upstream regulator of ING5. We revealed that miR-24 had the opposite effects to those of ING5 on breast cancer cells and could accelerate xenografted tumor growth in vivo.

Conclusion

Our findings uncover the tumor-suppressive role of ING5 and the regulatory pathway of ING5 in breast cancer and may provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of breast carcinogenesis.

Project description:Breast cancer (BC) is a commonly identified life-threatening type of cancer and a major cause of death among women worldwide. Several microRNAs (miRs), including miR-143-5p, have been reported to be vital for regulating hallmarks of cancer; however, the effect of miR-143-5p on BC requires further exploration. The present study performed bioinformatics analysis on GSE42072 and GSE41922 datasets from the National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify miR-143-5p expression patterns. Furthermore, miR-143-5p expression was detected in BC cell lines and tissues via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Post-transfection with miR-143-5p mimics, Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation and Transwell assays were performed to explore the effects of miR-143-5p on BC cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration. The association of miR-143-5p with the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-associated glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) pathway was explored via western blotting, immunofluorescence and dual-luciferase reporter assay. The present study detected high expression of miR-143-5p in BC tissue of the GSE42072 and serum of the GSE41922 datasets by GEO chip analysis. Additionally, the expression levels of miR-143-5p were decreased in BC tissues compared with those in adjacent healthy tissues, and low miR-143-5p expression was associated with a poorer prognosis and shorter survival time in patients with BC. In vitro, miR-143-5p expression levels were decreased in BC cells, and transfection with miR-143-5p mimics suppressed BC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration. Furthermore, miR-143-5p targeted the HIF-1α-related GLUT1 pathway, and inhibited HIF-1α and GLUT1 expression. Additionally, HIF-1α agonists reversed the miR-143-5p-induced inhibition during tumorigenesis. In conclusion, miR-143-5p exhibited low expression in BC tissues, and suppressed BC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration. Moreover, the antitumor effects of miR-143-5p targeted the HIF-1α-related GLUT1 pathway.
