Genetic variation of lncRNA GAS5 contributes to the development of lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths throughout the world. In spite of great effort for the research of carcinogenesis, the molecular mechanisms of lung cancer remain unclear. In current study, we investigated the possible association between susceptibility of lung cancer and GAS5 rs145204276, which showed contradictory roles in carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. We found that the del allele was significantly associated with 21% decreased risk of lung cancer (OR=0.79; 95% CI=0.66-0.93; P value = 0.006). Compared with the genotype ins/ins, both the genotype ins/del (OR=0.78; 95% CI=0.62-0.99) and del/del (OR=0.59;95% CI=0.39-0.89) showed decreased susceptibility of lung cancer. Real-time PCR analysis found that the expression levels of lncRNA GAS5 in lung cancer tissues were significantly lower than those in the corresponding normal tissues (P<0.01). Also the relative GAS5 expression level in samples with del/del genotype was significantly higher than that in samples with ins/del and ins/ins genotype (P<0.01). Taken together, our findings provided strong evidence for the hypothesis that GAS5 rs145204276 were significantly associated with the susceptibility of lung cancer, and GAS5 functions as a tumor suppressor in carcinogenesis of lung cancer.

Project description:Inflammatory macrophages play a crucial role in atherosclerosis development. The long non-coding RNA growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) regulates THP-1 macrophage inflammation by sponging microRNAs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the regulatory mechanism of GAS5 in atherosclerosis development. GSE40231, GSE21545, and GSE28829 datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were integrated after adjusting for batch effect. Differential analysis was performed on the integrated dataset and validated using the Genotype-Tissue Expression and GSE57691 datasets. Potential biological functions of GAS5 and annexin A2 (ANXA2) were identified using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). ssGSEA, CIBERSORTx, and ImmuCellAI algorithms were used to identify immune infiltration in plaque samples. GAS5 and ANXA2 expression levels in RAW264.7 cells treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Small interfering and short hairpin RNA were used to silence GAS5 expression. Plasmids of ANXA2 were used to establish ANXA2 overexpression. Apoptosis and inflammatory markers in macrophages were detected by Western blot. Aortic samples from APOE-/- mice were collected to validate the expression of GAS5 and ANXA2. GAS5 expression was significantly increased during atherosclerosis. GAS5 expression was positively correlated with macrophage activation and ANXA2 expression in plaques. Furthermore, ANXA2 upregulation was also related to the activation of macrophage. GSEA indicated similar biological functions for GAS5 and ANXA2 in plaques. Moreover, in vitro experiments showed that both GAS5 and ANXA2 contributed to macrophage apoptosis and inflammation. Rescue assays revealed that the inflammatory effects of GAS5 on macrophages were ANXA2-dependent. In vivo experiments confirmed the highly expression of Gas5 and Anxa2 in the plaque group. We identified the atherogenic roles of GAS5 and ANXA2 in the inflammatory response of macrophages. The inflammatory response in ox-LDL-treated macrophages was found to be mediated by GAS5-ANXA2 regulation, opening new avenues for atherosclerosis therapy.
