Regulation of PLK1 through competition between hnRNPK, miR-149-3p and miR-193b-5p.

ABSTRACT: Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a critical regulator of cell cycle progression and apoptosis. However, its regulation remains poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the post-transcriptional regulation of PLK1. We observed that heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK) and PLK1 were positively associated in several different cancers and high expression levels of them correlated with poor prognosis in patients with cancer. Knockdown of hnRNPK resulted in reduced expression of PLK1, whereas conversely, PLK1 expression was increased in hnRNPK-overexpressing cells. We found that hnRNPK regulated PLK1 expression through KH1- and KH2-dependent interactions with the 3'UTR of PLK1 mRNA. In addition, microRNA-149-3p (miR-149-3p) and miR-193b-5p suppressed PLK1 expression by targeting the 3'UTR of PLK1 mRNA. MicroRNA-elicited enrichment of PLK1 mRNA in Ago2 immunoprecipitation was altered by the presence or absence of hnRNPK. Furthermore, the deletion of the cytosine (C)-rich sequences of the 3'UTR of PLK1 mRNA abolished the decreased PLK1 expression observed via hnRNPK silencing and administration of miRNAs, a finding that suggests that hnRNPK shares this C-rich motif with miR-149-3p and miR-193b-5p. We also found that downregulation of PLK1 by either silencing hnRNPK or overexpression of miR-149-3p and miR-193b-5p decreased clonogenicity and induced apoptosis. Our findings from this study demonstrate that hnRNPK regulates PLK1 expression by competing with the PLK1-targeting miRNAs, miR-149-3p and miR-193b-5p.

Project description:CircRNA/miRNA/mRNA axis has been reported to play crucial regulatory roles in multiple cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In addition, recent investigations revealed that aloin exerted anti-tumor functions in HCC. However, the underlying mechanism of aloin on anti-tumor functions in HCC remained elusive. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether circRNA/miRNA/mRNA axis medicated the anti-tumor effect of aloin in HCC. Cell viability, invasion, apoptosis and autophagy were accessed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), transwell invasion assay, flow cytometry, Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis, respectively. Expression levels of circ_0011385, miR-149-5p and WT1 mRNA were determined using qRT-PCR assay. Binding sites between miR-149-5p and circ_0011385 or WT1 were predicted in starBase database. The binding relationship among circ_0011385, miR-149-5p and WT1 were verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation. Besides, the rescue experiments were performed by co-transfection with cric_0011385 overexpression plasmid, si-cric_0011385, miR-149-5p mimic and inhibitor, WT1 pDNA and si-WT1 in HCC cells. Furthermore, tumor growth was also investigated in the xenograft mouse model. Aloin inhibited HCC proliferation and invasion as well as promoted apoptosis and autophagy both in vitro and in vivo. Besides, aloin suppressed circ_0011385 expression. Overexpressed circ_0011385 partially reversed the anti-tumor effect of aloin on HCC. In addition, it was revealed that the circ_0011385, miR-149-5p and WT1 genes were abnormally expressed in HCC. Furthermore, the binding interactions between circ_0011385, miR-149-5p and WT1 were predicted and confirmed. Moreover, the effect of circ_0011385 on the anti-tumor role of aloin in HCC was rescued by miR-149-5p mimics. MiR-149-5p regulated HCC progression via modulating WT1. Aloin suppressed cell proliferation, invasion and tumor growth and promoted apoptosis and autophagy in HCC through regulating circ_0011385/miR-149-5p/WT1 axis. Aloin may be a potential candidate drug for HCC treatment.Abbrevations: HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; ceRNA: competing endogenous RNA; miRNA: microRNA; MREs: miRNA response elements; WT1: Wilms' tumor 1; MMP-2: Matrix metalloproteinase; EMT: epithelial-mesenchymal transition; GADPH: glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; WT: wild type; MUT: mutant type; DMEM: dulbecco's modified eagle medium.

Project description:Intramuscular fat is a real challenge for the experts of animal science to improve meat quality traits. Research on the mechanism of adipogenesis provides invaluable information for the improvement of meat quality traits. This study investigated the effect of bta-miR-149-5p and its underlying mechanism on lipid metabolism in bovine adipocytes. Bovine adipocytes were differentiated and transfected with bta-miR-149-5p mimics or its negative control (NC). A total of 115 DEGs including 72 upregulated and 43 downregulated genes were identified in bovine adipocytes. The unigenes and GO term biological processes were the most annotated unigene contributor parts at 80.08%, followed by cellular component at 13.4% and molecular function at 6.7%. The KEGG pathways regulated by the DEGs were PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, pathways in cancer, MAPK signaling pathway, lipid metabolism/metabolic pathway, PPAR signaling pathway, AMPK signaling pathway, TGF-beta signaling pathway, cAMP signaling pathway, cholesterol metabolism, Wnt signaling pathway, and FoxO signaling pathway. In addition to this, the most important reactome enrichment pathways were R-BTA-373813 receptor CXCR2 binding ligands CXCL1 to 7, R-BTA-373791 receptor CXCR1 binding CXCL6 and CXCL8 ligands, R-BTA-210991 basigin interactions, R-BTA-380108 chemokine receptors binding chemokines, R-BTA-445704 calcium binding caldesmon, and R-BTA-5669034 TNFs binding their physiological receptors. Furthermore, the expression trend of the DEGs in these pathways were also exploited. Moreover, the bta-miR-149-5p significantly (p < 0.01) downregulated the mRNA levels of adipogenic marker genes such as CCND2, KLF6, ACSL1, Cdk2, SCD, SIK2, and ZEB1 in bovine adipocytes. In conclusion, our results suggest that bta-miR-149-5p regulates lipid metabolism in bovine adipocytes. The results of this study provide a basis for studying the function and molecular mechanism of the bta-miR-149-5p in regulating bovine adipogenesis.
