Long noncoding RNA SFTA1P promoted apoptosis and increased cisplatin chemosensitivity via regulating the hnRNP-U-GADD45A axis in lung squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Chemotherapeutic insensitivity remains one of the major obstacles in clinical treatment of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Recently, increasing evidence has suggested that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) promote tumorigenesis in many cancer types. However, the potential biological roles and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs in response to cisplatin treatment are poorly understood. Here, we found that lncRNA SFTA1P (surfactant associated 1, pseudogene), highly expressed in lung, was down-regulated in LSCC tissues and could be induced upon cisplatin treatment in LSCC cells. Elevated SFTA1P induced apoptosis and enhanced the sensitivity to cisplatin of LSCC cells. We further identified that hnRNP-U (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U) was down-regulated in LSCCs and positively correlated with patients' poor prognosis as well as SFTA1P. Mechanistic studies revealed that SFTA1P could up-regulate hnRNP-U expression. In addition, we identified that hnRNP-U enhanced cisplatin-induced apoptosis through up-regulation of GADD45A, high expression of which was correlated with good prognosis in LSCC patients. Our findings demonstrated that SFTA1P might serve as a useful biomarker for LSCC diagnosis and a predictor for cisplatin chemotherapy response in patients with LSCC.

Project description:PurposeThe overall biological roles and clinical significance of most long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) in chemosensitivity are not fully understood. We investigated the biological function, mechanism, and clinical significance of lncRNA NR_034085, which we termed miRNA processing-related lncRNA (MPRL), in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC).Experimental designLncRNA expression in TSCC cell lines with cisplatin treatment was measured by lncRNA microarray and confirmed in TSCC tissues. The functional roles of MPRL were demonstrated by a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. The miRNA profiles, RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, serial deletion analysis, and luciferase analyses were used to investigate the potential mechanisms of MPRL.ResultsWe found that MPRL expression was significantly upregulated in TSCC cell lines treated with cisplatin and transactivated by E2F1. MPRL controlled mitochondrial fission and cisplatin sensitivity through miR-483-5p. In exploring the underlying interaction between MPRL and miR-483-5p, we identified that cytoplasmic MPRL directly binds to pre-miR-483 within the loop region and blocks pre-miR-483 recognition and cleavage by TRBP-DICER-complex, thereby inhibiting miR-483-5p generation and upregulating miR-483-5p downstream target-FIS1 expression. Furthermore, overexpression or knockdown MPRL altered tumor apoptosis and growth in mouse xenografts. Importantly, we found that high expression of MPRL and pre-miR-483, and low expression of miR-483-5p were significantly associated with neoadjuvant chemosensitivity and better TSCC patients' prognosis.ConclusionsWe propose a model in which lncRNAs impair microprocessor recognition and are efficient of pre-miRNA cropping. In addition, our study reveals a novel regulatory network for mitochondrial fission and chemosensitivity and new biomarkers for prediction of neoadjuvant chemosensitivity in TSCC.These findings uncover a novel mechanism by which lncRNA determines mitochondrial fission and cisplatin chemosensitivity by inhibition of pre-miRNA processing and provide for the first time the rationale for lncRNA and miRNA biogenesis for predicting chemosensitivity and patient clinical prognosis.
