MiR-133a Promotes TRAIL Resistance in Glioblastoma via Suppressing Death Receptor 5 and Activating NF-?B Signaling.

ABSTRACT: Recombinant tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), as a novel cancer therapeutic, is being tested in phase II and III clinical trials; however, TRAIL resistance remains a big obstacle preventing its clinical application. Considering that TRAIL-induced apoptosis through death receptors DR4 and DR5, their activation may be an alternative pathway to suppress TRAIL resistance. In this study, a negative correlation between DR5 expression and TRAIL resistance was observed, and miR-133a was predicted to be the most promising candidate to suppress DR5 expression. Further investigation demonstrated that miR-133a knockdown dramatically suppressed TRAIL resistance in glioblastoma in vitro and in vivo. An NF-?B family member, phosphorylated I?B? (P-I?B?), was shown to be stimulated by miR-133a, leading to the activation of this signaling. Finally, miR-133a was found to be inversely correlated with DR5 expression in human clinical specimens. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that miR-133a promotes TRAIL resistance in glioblastoma by suppressing DR5 expression and activating NF-?B signaling.

Project description:MicroRNA‑301a (miRNA/miR‑301a) and nuclear factor (NF)‑κB signaling play important roles in tumor invasion, migration and progression. However, the role of miRNA‑301a‑3p in human gastric cancer (GC), and specifically in the activation of NF‑κB signaling, remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate miRNA‑301a‑3p expression in GC progression and the molecular mechanisms as regards the regulation of NF‑κB signaling. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) was used to detect miRNA‑301a‑3p expression in GC and paired normal tissues. The association between the expression of miRNA‑301a‑3p and patient pathological parameters and the prognosis of GC was statistically analyzed using an in situ hybridization (ISH) assay. An MTS assay and a Transwell assay were performed to evaluate the effects of miRNA‑301a‑3p on the proliferation, invasion and migration of GC cells. RT‑qPCR and western blot analysis were used to analyze the association between miRNA‑301a‑3p and nuclear factor‑κB repressing factor (NKRF) expression and the corresponding downstream NF‑κB signaling molecules. A luciferase assay was used to verify the target effect of miRNA‑301a‑3p and NKRF. It was found that miRNA‑301a‑3p expression was significantly higher in 30 cases of primary GC compared with matched normal tissues. Additionally, the ISH assay indicated that the high expression of miRNA‑301a‑3p in GC was associated with tumor invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, lymph node invasion and tumor metastasis stage. Patients whose tumors had a higher miRNA‑301a‑3p expression level exhibited a poorer prognosis. The in vitro assay indicated that miRNA‑301a‑3p affected the proliferative and invasive ability of GC cells by targeting the expression of NKRF, which then affected NF‑κB signaling. Therefore, it was hypothesize that miRNA‑301a‑3p promotes GC progression and affects the prognosis of patients with GC by targeting NKRF, which in turn, directly influences NF‑κB activation.

Project description:BackgroundBone metastasis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in advanced prostate cancer (PCa). Downexpression of miR-133a-3p has been found to contribute to the progression, recurrence and distant metastasis in PCa. However, clinical significance of miR-133a-3p in bone metastasis of PCa, and the biological role of miR-133a-3p and its molecular mechanisms underlying bone metastasis of PCa remain unclear.MethodsmiR-133a-3p expression was evaluated in 245 clinical PCa tissues by real-time PCR. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical correlation between miR-133a-3p expression and clinicopathological features, and overall and bone metastasis-free survival in PCa patients. The biological roles of miR-133a-3p in the bone metastasis of PCa were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis, real-time PCR, western blot and luciferase reporter analysis were applied to demonstrate the relationship between miR-133a-3p and its potential targets. Western blotting and luciferase assays were examined to identify the underlying pathway involved in the anti-tumor role of miR-133a-3p. Clinical correlation of miR-133a-3p with its targets was verified in human PCa tissues.ResultsmiR-133a-3p expression is reduced in PCa tissues compared with the adjacent normal tissues and benign prostate lesion tissues, particularly in bone metastatic PCa tissues. Low expression of miR-133a-3p is significantly correlated with advanced clinicopathological characteristics and shorter bone metastasis-free survival in PCa patients by statistical analysis. Moreover, upregulating miR-133a-3p inhibits cancer stem cell-like phenotypes in vitro and in vivo, as well as attenuates anoikis resistance in vitro in PCa cells. Importantly, administration of agomir-133a-3p greatly suppresses the incidence of PCa bone metastasis in vivo. Our results further demonstrate that miR-133a-3p suppresses bone metastasis of PCa via inhibiting PI3K/AKT signaling by directly targeting multiple cytokine receptors, including EGFR, FGFR1, IGF1R and MET. The negative clinical correlation of miR-133a-3p with EGFR, FGFR1, IGF1R, MET and PI3K/AKT signaling activity is determined in clinical PCa tissues.ConclusionOur results unveil a novel mechanism by which miR-133a-3p inhibits bone metastasis of PCa, providing the evidence that miR-133a-3p may serve as a potential bone metastasis marker in PCa, and delivery of agomir-133a-3p may be an effective anti-bone metastasis therapeutic strategy in PCa.
