LINC01088 inhibits tumorigenesis of ovarian epithelial cells by targeting miR-24-1-5p.

ABSTRACT: The roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a class of long non-protein-coding RNAs, in the tumorigenesis of ovarian epithelial cells remain unknown. In this study, we discovered that the expression of long intergenic non-coding RNA 1088 (LINC01088) was clearly reduced in benign epithelial ovarian tumor tissues compared to matched normal ovarian tissues. This was shown by global cDNA gene chip scanning and real-time qPCR, and validated in 42 clinical specimens. Furthermore, we found that LINC01088 inhibited the growth of ovarian cancer xenografts in nude mice. Correlation analysis between LINC01088 and mircoRNAs (miRNAs) conducted using primary clinical samples and RNA co-precipitation experiments revealed that miR-24-1-5p was one of the targets of LINC01088. Overexpression of miR-24-1-5p facilitated cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo, however, LINC01088 could partially reverse the cell proliferation induced by miR-24-1-5p. Finally, we demonstrated that p21 activated kinase 4 (PAK4) was one of the downstream key targets of miR-24-1-5p by luciferase reporter assay and Western blotting; and our results showed a remarkable decrease in cell proliferation after overexpression of PAK4. We conclude that LINC01088 might function as a tumor suppressor, inhibiting the tumorigenesis of ovarian epithelial cells through LINC01088/ miR-24-1-5p/ PAK4 axis.

Project description:BackgroundGlioma metastasis, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and chemoresistance indicate poor prognosis. Accumulating evidence reveals that Notch1 is an important factor in tumour progression. However, the role of Notch1 in glioma EMT and associated microRNAs (miRNAs) with the Notch pathway remain controversial.MethodsUtilizing cBioPortal database to examine the gene signature of NOTCH1 (encoding Notch1), CDH2 (encoding N-cadherin) and SNAI1 (encoding Snail-1) in disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). We analyzed the Notch1 expression from Oncomine. We used Western blot (WB), immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence to determine protein levels. Transcription was evaluated by quantitative real-time (qRT)-PCR. siRNA and lentivirus were used to knock down Notch1 and overexpress miR-139-5p, respectively. The migration and invasion of glioma cells were assessed by wound healing and transwell assays. Luciferase reporter assays were utilized to verify the relationship between Notch1 and miR-139-5p. A U87-implanted intracranial model was used to study the effect of miR-139-5p on tumour growth and Notch1 suppression efficacy or EMT reversion.ResultsIt revealed the association of NOTCH1, CDH2, SNAI1 genomic alterations with decreases in DFS and OS. Notch1 was upregulated in classical and proneural subtypes of GBM, and associated with tumour grade. Notch1 inhibition suppressed the biological behaviours of metastasis, invasion and EMT. Notch1 was identified as a novel direct target of miR-139-5p. MiR-139-5p overexpression partially phenocopied Notch1 siRNA, whereas the forced expression of Notch1 reversed the effects of miR-139-5p on the invasion of glioma. Moreover, intracranial tumourigenicity and EMT behaviours were reduced by the introduction of miR-139-5p and partially mediated by the decreased Notch1 expression.ConclusionsmiR-139-5p was identified as a tumour suppressor by negatively targeting Notch1, and this work suggests a possible molecular mechanism of the miR-139/Notch1/EMT axis for glioma treatment.
