Long noncoding RNA gastric cancer-related lncRNA1 mediates gastric malignancy through miRNA-885-3p and cyclin-dependent kinase 4.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancy and the third leading cancer-related death in China. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in numerous tumors, including GC, however, the mechanism of many functional lncRNAs is still unclear. In this study, we identified the abundantly expressed lncRNA, RP11-290F20.3, in GC cells and patient tumor tissues. We named this lncRNA as GC-related lncRNA1 (GCRL1), which could regulate gastric cell proliferation and metastasis, both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, miRNA-885-3p (miR-885-3p) could inhibit the cell proliferation and metastasis in GC by negatively regulating the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) at the post-transcriptional level. Further, GCRL1 promoted the cell proliferation and metastasis by sponging miR-885-3p and hence, positively regulating CDK4 in GC cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate a novel regulatory axis of malignant cell proliferation and invasion in GC, comprising GCRL1, miR-885-3p, and CDK4, which may serve as a potential therapeutic target in GC.

Project description:The mounting body of evidence demonstrates the growing importance of long noncoding RNAs in the advancement of tumors. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of lnc-SNAPC5-3:4 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We investigated the expression of miR-224-3p and lnc-SNAPC5-3:4 in clinical NSCLC samples and NSCLC cell lines using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In vitro studies, A549 cell growth was estimated using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU), and flow cytometry assays. In vivo studies, NSCLC tumorigenesis was determined using xenograft tumor mouse models, tumor growth was evaluated using antigen Kiel 67 (Ki67) staining, and tumor apoptosis was detected through terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. The relationship between lnc-SNAPC5-3:4 and miR-224-3p was determined by luciferase reporter gene assay. Results indicated that the expression of lnc-SNAPC5-3:4 was observed to be downregulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. After overexpression of lnc-SNAPC5-3:4 in cultured A549 cells, proliferation decreased and apoptosis increased. Furthermore, the expression of miR-224-3p was targeted and negatively regulated by lnc-SNAPC5-3:4. The lnc-SNAPC5-3:4 upregulation inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis, which was partially blocked by miR-224-3p overexpression in A549 cells. In addition, we constructed a subcutaneous inoculation model using BALB/c nude mice, and the results indicated that lnc-SNAPC5-3:4 overexpression restrained the growth of subcutaneous tumors, decreased Ki67 expression levels, and increased apoptosis, as indicated by TUNEL staining in nude mice. However, miR-224-3p transfection resulted in the reversal of the inhibitory effect of lnc-SNAPC5-3:4 on tumor growth. In conclusion, our study revealed that lnc-SNAPC5-3:4 inhibits tumor progression in NSCLC by targeting miR-224-3p. This study provides a potential therapeutic target for inhibiting NSCLC progression.

Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder of reproductive-age women involving overproduction of ovarian androgens and, in some cases, from the adrenal cortex. Family studies have established that PCOS is a complex heritable disorder with genetic and epigenetic components. Several small, noncoding RNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to be differentially expressed in ovarian cells and follicular fluid and in the circulation of women with PCOS. However, there are no reports of global miRNA expression and target gene analyses in ovarian theca cells isolated from normal cycling women and women with PCOS, which are key to the elucidation of the basis for the hyperandrogenemia characteristic of PCOS. With the use of small RNA deep sequencing (miR-seq), we identified 18 differentially expressed miRNAs in PCOS theca cells; of these, miR-130b-3p was predicted to target one of the PCOS genome-wide association study candidates, differentially expressed in neoplastic vs normal cells domain containing 1A (DENND1A). We previously reported that DENND1A variant 2 (DENND1A.V2), a truncated isoform of DENND1A, is upregulated in PCOS theca cells and mediates augmented androgen biosynthesis in PCOS theca cells. The comparison of miR-130b-3p in normal and PCOS theca cells demonstrated decreased miR-130b-3p expression in PCOS theca cells, which was correlated with increased DENND1A.V2, cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1) mRNA and androgen biosynthesis. miR-130b-3p mimic studies established that increased miR130b-3p is correlated with decreased DENND1A.V2 and CYP17A1 expression. Thus, in addition to genetic factors, post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms via miR-130b-3p underly androgen excess in PCOS. Ingenuity® Pathway Analysis Core Pathway and Network Analyses suggest a network by which miR-130b-3p, DENND1A, the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor, Ras-related protein 5B, and signaling pathways that they potentially target may mediate hyperandrogenism in PCOS.
