MicroRNA-107-5p suppresses non-small cell lung cancer by directly targeting oncogene epidermal growth factor receptor.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are dysregulated in cancers, including human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The function of MicroRNA-107-5p (miR-107-5p) in NSCLC is not fully elucidated. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a cancer-driven gene in tumorigenesis. In this study, we found that miR-107-5p was significantly decreased in NSCLC tissues and NSCLC cell lines. Moreover, our results indicated that miR-107-5p could suppress cell proliferation, inhibit metastasis, impede cell cycle, and promote apoptosis via directly targeting EGFR. We also investigated roles of miR-107-5p in vivo. The results showed that it could inhibit tumor growth. Therefore, our study demonstrated that miR-107-5p not only suppressed the progression in NSCLC cells by inhibiting the expression of EGFR, but also could be a promising and a new potential therapeutic target for lung cancer.

MicroRNA-18a-5p functions as an oncogene by directly targeting IRF2 in lung cancer.

Project description:Lung cancer is the major form of cancer resulting in cancer-related mortality around the world. MicroRNAs are endogenous small non-coding single-stranded RNAs, which can engage in the regulation of gene expression. In this study, miR-18a-5p significantly upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and NSCLC cell lines, suggesting an oncogenic function in lung cancer. Additionally, miR-18a-5p can promote carcinogenesis by directly targeting interferon regulatory factor 2 (IRF2). Further experiments indicated that IRF2 can increase cell apoptosis, inhibit cell proliferation and migration ability. Our study demonstrates that miR-18a-5p promotes autophagy in NSCLC. Collectively, these results indicate that miR-18a-5p can not only promote NSCLC by suppressing IRF2, but also will be a promising target in the near future.

MicroRNA-340-5p suppresses non-small cell lung cancer cell growth and metastasis by targeting ZNF503.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play crucial roles in cancer cell processes, including proliferation, metastasis and cell cycle progression. We aimed to identify miRNAs that could act as suppressors of cell growth and invasion in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsFifteen paired NSCLC tissue samples and pericarcinomatous normal tissues were collected and preserved in liquid nitrogen. The expression levels of miR-340-5p and ZNF503 mRNA were detected using a qPCR assay. The transfection of plasmids was conducted using Lipofectamine 3000 according to the manufacturer's protocol. Cell proliferation was determined using a CCK-8 assay. The protein levels of endothelial-mesenchymal transition markers were measured using a western blot assay. Cell invasive ability was evaluated using a transwell assay. TargetScan was used to predict targets of miR-340. A dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm a potential direct interaction between miR-340-5p and ZNF503.ResultsThe expression level of miR-340-5p was frequently found to be lower in NSCLC tissues than in matched pericarcinomatous normal tissues. Overexpression of miR-340-5p significantly inhibited the proliferation and invasion NCI-H1650 (a NSCLC cell line), while inhibition of miR-340-5p stimulated cell growth. Using TargetScan, we predicted that ZNF503 could be a target of miR-340-5p. Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that the forced expression of ZNF503 could partially abrogate the miR-340-5p-mediated decrease in NCI-H1650 cell viability and invasion, suggesting that miR-340-5p suppressed cell growth and invasion in a ZNF503-dependent manner.ConclusionOur findings indicate that miR-340-5p inhibits NCI-H1650 cell proliferation and invasion by directly targeting ZNF503 and that miR-340-5p can serve as a potential therapeutic target for treating NSCLC.

MicroRNA-506 suppresses tumor proliferation and metastasis in colon cancer by directly targeting the oncogene EZH2.

Project description:Increasing evidence reveals that aberrant expression of microRNA contributes to the development and progression of colon cancer, but the roles of microRNA-506 (miR-506) in colon cancer remain elusive. Here, we demonstrated that miR-506 was down-regulated in colon cancer tissue and cells and that miR-506 expression was inversely correlated with EZH2 expression, tumor size, lymph node invasion, TNM stage and metastasis. A high level of miR-506 identified patients with a favorable prognosis. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that miR-506 inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of colon cancer, and a luciferase reporter assay confirmed that EZH2 is a direct and functional target of miR-506 via the 3'UTR of EZH2. The restoration of EZH2 expression partially reversed the proliferation and invasion of miR-506-overexpressing colon cancer cells. Moreover, we confirmed that the miR-506-EZH2 axis inhibits proliferation and metastasis by activating/suppressing specific downstream tumor-associated genes and the Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway. Taking together, our study sheds light on the role of miR-506 as a suppressor for tumor growth and metastasis and raises the intriguing possibility that miR-506 may serve as a new potential marker for monitoring and treating colon cancer.

MicroRNA-29c-5p suppresses gallbladder carcinoma progression by directly targeting CPEB4 and inhibiting the MAPK pathway.

Project description:Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and its prognosis remains poor, with a 5-year survival rate of ~5%. Given the crucial role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer metastasis, we aimed to analyze the expression and function of the metastasis-associated miRNA miR-29c-5p in GBC.We validated that expression of miR-29c-5p was significantly downregulated in GBC and was closely associated with lymph node metastasis, overall survival and disease-free survival in 40 GBC patients who were followed clinically. Ectopic overexpression of miR-29c-5p dramatically repressed proliferation, metastasis, and colony formation and induced apoptosis in vitro, and it suppressed tumorigenicity in vivo through the MAPK pathway. Cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 4 (CPEB4) was identified as a critical effector target of miR-29c-5p. Enforced expression of miR-29c-5p significantly inhibited the expression of CPEB4, and restoration of CPEB4 expression reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-29c-5p on GBC cell proliferation and metastasis. Transforming growth factor-? (TGF-?) upregulated CPEB4 by downregulating miR-29c-5p, leading to MAPK pathway activation. In conclusion, the TGF-?/miR-29c-5p/CPEB4 axis has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and poor prognosis of GBC, suggesting that miR-29c-5p is a tumor-suppressive miRNA that may serve as potential prognostic biomarker or therapeutic target for GBC.

MicroRNA-3619-5p suppresses bladder carcinoma progression by directly targeting ?-catenin and CDK2 and activating p21.

Project description:Current studies indicate that microRNAs (miRNAs) are widely decreased in various tumors and function as tumor suppressors by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, survival, invasion, and migration. The potential application of using miRNAs to predict therapeutic responses to multiple types of cancer treatment holds high promise. In current study, we demonstrate that miR-3619-5p is downregulated in bladder cancer (BCa) tissues and cells. Exogenous overexpression of miR-3619-5p in BCa cells inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion. Moreover, a nude mouse xenograft model shows that miR-3619-5p inhibits BCa cell growth. We also demonstrate that miR-3619-5p leads to the activation of p21 by targeting its promoter in BCa cells. Enforced miR-3619-5p expression consistently leads to the downregulation of ?-catenin and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) through predicted binding sites within the ?-catenin and CDK2 3'-untranslated regions (UTRs), respectively. Moreover, ?-catenin and CDK2 knockdown is able to mimic BCa cells growth and metastasis effects induced by overexpressing miR-3619-5p. We further confirm that miR-3619-5p inhibits Wnt-?-catenin signal pathway and EMT progression in BCa cells. We also found that miR-3619-5p-induced growth arrest and metastasis inhibition are p21-dependent in BCa cells. Taken together, these results confirm that miR-3619-5p plays a tumor suppressive role in BCa by interfering with cell growth and metastasis and may serve as a potential therapeutic target in BCa treatment.

MiR-199a-5p suppresses non-small cell lung cancer via targeting MAP3K11.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) comprise a class of short, non-coding RNAs that directly target 3'UTR of mRNA, causing subsequent degradation or suppression of translation. Here, we verified that miR-199a-5p was significantly down-regulated in mouse NSCLC tissues and human patient samples. To further study the function of miR-199a-5p, lentivirus system was adopted to construct stably over-expressing miR-199a-5p A549, SPC-A1 and H1299 cell lines. Then, miR-199a-5p played a tumor suppression role via directly targeting MAP3K11 gene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Elevated miR-199a-5p suppressed cell proliferation and arrested cell cycle in G1 phase. We found that MAP3K11 was negatively correlated with miR-199a-5p in NSCLC patient tissues and mouse xenograft tumors. Our results suggest that miR-199a-5p together with its target gene MAP3K11 is a key factor and constitutes a complicated regulation network in NSCLC.

Cryptotanshinone Suppresses Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer via microRNA-146a-5p/EGFR Axis.

Project description:Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a cancer-driven gene, plays an important role in tumorigenesis of lung cancer. Cryptotanshinone (CT) is the main constituent of salia miltiorrhiza and has been found to affect tumor progression. However, the mechanism of CT on lung cancer is still not clear. Here we found that CT could suppress the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by inhibiting EGFR. We further confirmed that knockdown of EGFR also suppressed cell proliferation and arrested cell cycle progression. Furthermore, we evaluated EGFR was a direct target gene of miR-146a-5p which was upregulated by CT. In general, our results proved that CT could restrain NSCLC via miR-146a-5p/EGFR axis. CT and miR-146a-5p have the potential to be positive candidates in drug development of NSCLC.

MicroRNA-107, an oncogene microRNA that regulates tumour invasion and metastasis by targeting DICER1 in gastric cancer.

Project description:MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that control expression of target genes. Previous studies showed that microRNA-107 (miR-107) is overexpressed in gastric cancer tissues compared with the matched normal tissues. However, it remains largely unclear as to how miR-107 exerts its function and modulates the malignant phenotypes of gastric cancer, because our understanding of miR-107 signalling pathways is limited. In this study, we demonstrate that miR-107 is frequently up-regulated in gastric cancers and its overexpression is significantly associated with gastric cancer metastasis. Furthermore, silencing the expression of miR-107 could inhibit gastric cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and in vivo. Subsequent investigation characterized DICER1 as a direct target of miR-107. Up-regulation of DICER1 resulted in a dramatic reduction of in vitro migration, invasion, in vivo liver metastasis of nude mice, which is similar to that occurs with the silencing of miR-107, indicating that DICER1 functions as a metastasis suppressor in gastric cancer. Furthermore, the restoration of DICER1 can inhibit miR-107-induced gastric cancer cell invasion and metastasis. In conclusion, our results suggested that miR-107, an oncogene miRNA promoting gastric cancer metastasis through down-regulation of DICER1. Inhibition of miR-107 or restoration of DICER1 may represent a new potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer treatment.

MicroRNA-550a-3-5p controls the brain metastasis of lung cancer by directly targeting YAP1.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to explore the potential regulatory mechanisms of brain metastasis and to identify novel underlying targets of lung cancer with brain metastasis.MethodsExosomes were isolated from the plasma of lung cancer patients with or without brain metastasis and low or high metastatic lung cancer cells, and small RNA from plasma-derived exosomes were sequenced. Differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) were identified. Human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) were transfected with miR-550a-3-5p mimics or inhibitors and exosomes. Cell viability, migration, and apoptosis/cycle were determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), Transwell, and flow cytometry, respectively. Western blotting was used to measure the expression of the associated proteins. Finally, a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to confirm the miR-550a-3-5p target.ResultsTransmission electron microscopy, NanoSight, and western blotting showed that exosomes were successfully isolated and cell-derived exosomes could be taken up by HBMECs. Sequencing identified 22 DE-miRNAs which were enriched in the MAPK, chemokine, PPAR, and Wnt signaling pathways. MiR-550a-3-5p was significantly enriched in brain metastatic exosomes. Cellular experiments showed that miR-550a-3-5p and exosome enrichment significantly inhibited cell viability and migration, promoted apoptosis, and regulated the cell cycle of HBMECs compared with the controls (P < 0.05). Compared with the controls, high levels of both miR-550a-3-5p and exosomes markedly upregulated cleaved-PARP expression, but downregulated the expression of pRB, CDK6, YAP1, CTGF, and CYR61 (P < 0.05). Finally, YAP1 was confirmed to bind directly to miR-550a-3-5p.ConclusionOur results indicate that miR-550a-3-5p and YAP1 may be novel potential targets for controlling brain metastasis.

MicroRNA-138-5p Suppresses Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Cells by Targeting PD-L1/PD-1 to Regulate Tumor Microenvironment.

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still challenging for treatment owing to immune tolerance and evasion. MicroRNA-138 (miR-138) not only acts as a tumor suppressor to inhibit tumor cell proliferation and migration but also regulates immune response. The regulatory mechanism of miR-138 in NSCLC remains not very clear. Herein, we demonstrated that miR-138-5p treatment decreased the growth of tumor cells and increased the number of tumor-infiltrated DCs. miR-138-5p not only down-regulated the expression of cyclin D3 (CCND3), CCD20, Ki67, and MCM in A549/3LL cells, but also regulated the maturation of DCs in A549-bearing nude mice and the 3LL-bearing C57BL/6 mouse model, and DCs' capability to enhance T cells to kill tumor cells. Furthermore, miR-138-5p was found to target PD-L1 to down-regulate PD-L1 on tumor cells to reduce the expression of Ki67 and MCM in tumor cells and decrease the tolerance effect on DCs. miR-138-5p also directly down-regulates the expression of PD-L1 and PD-1 on DCs and T cells. Similar results were obtained from isolated human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and DCs. Thus, miR-138-5p inhibits tumor growth and activates the immune system by down-regulating PD-1/PD-L1 and it is a promising therapeutic target for NSCLC.
