A promoter variant of lncRNA GAS5 is functionally associated with the development of osteosarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Background:Previous studies showed that genetic variant rs145204276 in the promoter region of GAS5 was associated with the development of human cancer including colorectal cancer and hepatocellular cancer. This study aimed to investigate the role of rs145204276 in the development of osteosarcoma (OS). Methods:132 OS patients and 1270 healthy controls were recruited for the genotyping analysis of rs145204276. Promoter methylation level of GAS5 was determined for all patients. The tumor tissues and the adjacent normal tissue were collected from 42 patients during surgery and the relative expression of GAS5 was then quantified by Real-time PCR. The Chi-square test was used to determine the difference of genotype and allele frequency between the patients and the controls. The gene expression and the percentage of methylation alleles were compared among different genotypes of rs145204276 with One-way ANOVA test. Results:Compared with the controls, patients were found to have significantly lower rate of genotype del/del (7.6% vs. 8.7%, p?=?0.024). The frequency of allele del was significantly lower in the patients than in the controls (23.5% vs. 30.1%, p?=?0.021). Compared with than patients with genotype ins/ins, those with genotype del/del had remarkably higher expression of GAS5 (0.0033?±?0.0019?vs. 0.0018?±?0.0006, p?

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.

Project description:Growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) is a kind of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Previous studies showed that down-regulation of LncRNA-GAS5 was involved in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the regulatory mechanism of down-expressed LncRNA-GAS5 in SLE remains obscure. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of LncRNA-GAS5 polymorphism with SLE risk. And further explore how LncRNA-GAS5 is involved in the occurrence of SLE. Here, we evaluated the relationship between the risk for the development of SLE and the 5-base pair (AGGCA/-) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism (rs145204276) in the LncRNA-GAS5 promoter region. A custom 36-Plex SNPscan kit was used for genotyping the LncRNA-GAS5 polymorphisms. The LncRNA-GAS5 and miR-21 target prediction was performed using bioinformatics software. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) were performed to assess GAS5 and miR-21 mRNA expression and PTEN protein expression. The results revealed that rs145204276 resulted in a decreased risk of SLE (DD genotypes vs II genotypes: adjusted OR = 0.538, 95% CI, 0.30-0.97, P = .039; ID genotypes vs II genotypes: adjusted OR = 0.641, 95% CI, 0.46-0.89, P = .007; ID/DD genotypes vs II genotypes: adjusted OR = 0.621, 95% CI, 0.46-0.84, P = .002; D alleles vs I alleles: adjusted OR = 0.680, 95% CI, 0.53-0.87, P = .002). A reduced incidence of renal disorders in SLE was found to be related to ID/DD genotypes and D alleles (ID/DD genotypes vs II genotypes: OR = 0.57, 95% CI, 0.36-0.92, P = .020; D alleles vs I alleles: OR = 0.63, 95% CI, 0.43-0.93, P = .019). However, no significant association of rs2235095, rs6790, rs2067079 and rs1951625 polymorphisms with SLE risk was observed (P > .05). Additionally, haplotype analysis showed that a decreased SLE risk resulted from the A-A-C-G-D haplotype (OR = 0.67, 95% CI, 0.49-0.91, P = .010). Also, patients in the SLE group showed a down-regulated expression of LncRNA-GAS5 and PTEN than the healthy volunteers; however, patients with rs145204276 ID/DD genotypes showed up-regulated expression of LncRNA-GAS5 and PTEN compared with patients carrying the II genotype. Furthermore, the miR-21 levels were considerably up-regulated in the SLE group than the healthy volunteers, and patients with rs145204276 ID/DD genotype had lower miR-21 levels than the ones with the II genotype. Thus, we found that the LncRNA-GAS5/miR-21/PTEN signalling pathway was involved in the development of SLE, where LncRNA-GAS5 acted as an miR-21 target, and miR-21 regulated the expression of PTEN. These findings indicated that the rs145204276 ID/DD genotypes in the LncRNA-GAS5 gene promoter region may be protected against SLE by up-regulating the expression of LncRNA-GAS5, which consecutively regulated miR-21 and PTEN levels.
