Hsa-miR-29c-3p regulates biological function of colorectal cancer by targeting SPARC.

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common type of behavioral cancers, miRNAs play a critical role in cancer development and progression. In the present study, we downloaded the original data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and conduct data analysis. has-mir-29c-3p mimic, inhibitor, negative control or si-SPARC (secreted protein acidic, rich in cysteine) were transfected into HCT116 cells, respectively. Quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to measure has-mir-29c-3p and SPARC mRNA expressions, western blot was used to detect ACAA1 (acetyl-CoA acyltransferase 1), ACOX1 (acyl-CoA oxidase 1), COL1A1(collagen, type I, alpha-1), COL1A2 (collagen, type I, alpha-2), COL4A1 (collagen, type IV, alpha-1), COL5A2 (collagen, type V, alpha-2), COL12A1 (collagen, type XII, alpha-1), CPT2 (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2), ETHE1 (persulfide dioxygenase), HMGCS2 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2), SPARC, SQRDL (sulfide quinone oxidoreductase), and TST (thiosulfate sulfurtransferase) protein expression. CCK-8 and wound healing assay were employed to verify cell proliferation and migration. The luciferase reporter assay data made sure the target correlation of has-mir-29c-3p and SPARC. Firstly, we found that the expression of has-mir-29c-3p was lower in CRC tissues than in their paired corresponding non-cancerous tissues and there was significant inversed correlation between has-mir-29c-3p and SPARC. Overexpression of has-mir-29c-3p reduced cell proliferation and migration. SPARC was identified as a direct target of has-mir-29c-3p, whose silencing reduced cell proliferation and migration. These data showed that has-mir-29c-3p regulates CRC cell functions through regulating SPARC expression. Taken together, has-mir-29c-3p may function as an oncogenic miRNA targeting SPARC, targeted modulation of has-mir-29c-3p expression may became a potential strategy for the treatment.

Project description:Background: Increasing evidence suggested that microRNA and kinesin superfamily proteins play an essential role in ovarian cancer. The association between KIF4A and ovarian cancer (OC) was investigated in this study.Methods: We performed bioinformatics analysis in the GEO database to screen out the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) associated with ovarian cancer prognosis. Upstream targeting prediction for KIF4A was acquired by using the mirDIP database. The potential regulatory factor miR-29c-3p for KIF4A was obtained from the intersection of the above all miRNAs. The prognosis of KIF4A and target-miRNA in OC was obtained in the subsequent analysis. qRT-PCR and Western blot detected KIF4A expression level in IOSE80 (human normal ovarian epithelial cell line). In the meantime, the gene expression level was detected in A2780, HO-8910PM, COC1, and SKOV3 cell lines (human ovarian carcinoma cell line). MTT and colony formation assays were used to detect cell proliferation of SKOV3 cell line. The following assays detected cell migration through the use of transwell and wound heal assays. Targeted binding relationship between KIF4A and miRNA was detected by using the dual-luciferase reporter assay.Results: Both high expression of KIF4A and lower expression of miR-29c-3p could be used as biomarkers indicating poor prognosis in OC patients. Cellular function tests confirmed that when KIF4A was silenced, it inhibited the proliferation and migration of OC cells. In addition, 3'-UTR of KIF4A had a direct binding site with miR-29c-3p, which indicated that the expression of KIF4A could be regulated by miR-29c-3p. In subsequent assays, the proliferation and migration of OC cells were inhibited by the overexpression of miR-29c-3p. At the same time, rescue experiments also confirmed that the promotion of KIF4A could be reversed by miR-29c-3p.Conclusion: In a word, our data revealed a new mechanism for the role of KIF4A in the occurrence and development of OC.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to identify the differentially expressed microRNAs (DEMs) between Lynch syndrome (LS) and the normal colonic (N-C) control samples, predict the target genes (TGs) and analyze the potential functions of the DEMs and TGs. The miRNA expression dataset GSE30454, which included data of 13 LS and 20 N-C tissue samples, was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus. The classical t-test in Linear Models for Microarray Data package was used for DEM identification. TG prediction was performed using 5 databases. The regulatory network of the DEMs and their TGs was constructed using Cytoscape. Functional and pathway enrichment analysis was performed. The transcription factors (TFs), tumor-associated genes (TAG) and tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) were then identified. Three key DEMs hsa-miR-137, hsa-miR-520e, and hsa-miR-590-3p were identified. Hsa-miR-520e and hsa-miR-137 had 4 common TGs, including SNF related kinase, metal-regulatory transcription factor 1 (MTF1), round spermatid basic protein 1 and YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 3; hsa-miR-590-3p and hsa-miR-137 had 14 common TGs, including NCK adaptor protein 1 (NCK1), EPH receptor A7, and stress-associated endoplasmic reticulum protein 1; hsa-miR-590-3p and hsa-miR-520e had 12 common TGs, including Krüppel-like factor (KLF) 13, twinfilin actin binding protein 1, and nuclear factor I B. Through the functional and pathway enrichments analysis, MTF1 was involved in regulation of gene expression and metabolic processes, and sequence-specific DNA binding TF activity. KLF13 was involved in regulation of gene expression and regulation of cellular metabolic processes. NCK1 was enriched in the axon guidance pathway. In addition, the functional and pathway enrichment analysis showed certain TGs, such as hypoxia-inducible factor 1?, AKT serine/threonine kinase 2, and rapamycin-insensitive companion of mammalian target of rapamycin, participated in the mTOR signaling pathway. The 3 key DEMs hsa-miR-137, hsa-miR-520e, and hsa-miR-590-3p may have important roles in the process of LS.
