MiR-361-5p inhibits glycolytic metabolism, proliferation and invasion of breast cancer by targeting FGFR1 and MMP-1.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs function as key regulators in various human cancers, including breast cancer (BC). MiR-361-5p has been proved to be a tumor suppressor in colorectal cancer and gastric cancer in our previous study. In this study, we aim to find out the function of miR-361-5p in breast cancer progression and elaborate the mechanism that miR-361-5p acts its function in breast cancer.Here we reported that miR-361-5p was down-regulated in breast cancer tissue compared with normal breast tissue and the expression of miR-361-5p was positively associated with prognosis in BC patients. Functional studies showed that overexpression of miR-361-5p suppressed the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, we found that miR-361-5p inhibited the proliferation of BC cells by suppressing glycolysis. FGFR1, a promoter of glycolysis-related enzyme, was identified as the target of miR-361-5p that promoted glycolysis and repressed oxidative phosphorylation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that miR-361-5p inhibited breast cancer cells invasion and metastasis by targeting MMP-1. An inverse expression pattern was also found between miR-361-5p and FGFR1 or MMP-1 in a cohort of 60 BC tissues.Our results indicate that miR-361-5p inhibits breast cancer cells glycolysis and invasion by respectively repressing FGFR1 and MMP-1, suggesting that miR-361-5p and its targets may serve as therapeutic targets in breast cancer treatment.

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.
