LncRNA HOXA11-AS drives cisplatin resistance of human LUAD cells via modulating miR-454-3p/Stat3.

ABSTRACT: Over the past several years, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have attracted more and more attention due to their special functions. They are vital biomarkers in multiple diseases. LncRNA HOMEOBOX A11 (HOXA11) has been found to be aberrantly expressed in some kinds of malignant tumors. In this study, we mainly discuss the oncogenic role of it in promoting malignant progression and chemoresistance in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells. The expression of HOXA11-AS was much stronger in cisplatin-resistant LUAD cells. Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas database, patients with high expression of HOXA11-AS had shorter survival time. Additionally, knockdown of HOXA11-AS caused positive changes in cell activities of LUAD. For example, cell proliferation and migration were weakened, the epithelial mesenchymal transition process was reversed, and apoptosis was induced. These changes were more obvious in cells treated with cisplatin. Next, the HOXA11-AS/miR-454-3p/Stat3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) pathway was found to influence the cisplatin resistance of LUAD cells. HOXA11-AS specifically acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in LUAD cells. The combinations among these three genes were demonstrated. Finally, rescue assays were applied to demonstrate the ceRNA pattern consisting of HOXA11-AS, miR-454-3p and Stat3. In conclusion, lncRNA HOXA11-AS acted as a ceRNA to promote cisplatin resistance of human LUAD cells via the miR-454-3p/Stat3 axis.

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, and causes a large number of cancer-related deaths. The main cause of death of breast cancer patients is tumor recurrence and metastasis. Recent studies show that lncRNA (Long non-coding RNA) plays an important role in breast cancer. However, the overall biological activity and clinical consequences of the lncRNA MIR17HG in breast cancer remain unclear. Thus, we investigate how the MIR17HG/miR-454-3p network impacts breast cancer cell proliferation and migration. Given the TCGA and Oncomine databases, the researchers evaluated variations in MIR17HG expression for the survival rates of breast cancer patients. The influence of MIR17HG on cell proliferation, migration, cell cycle, and the mRNA expression level of miR-454-3p and FAM135A (family with sequence similarity 135 member A) is identified. Luciferase assay was used to detect the regulatory effect of miR-454-3p on the 3'UTR region of FAM135A, and rescue experiments demonstrated that MIR17HG can up-regulate FAM135A expression by competitively binding miR-454-3p. The effect of FAM135A on the cloning and invasion of MCF-7 cells was detected. MIR17HG expression is reduced in breast cancer tissues, and patients with greater levels of MIR17HG expression have a better prognosis. MIR17HG overexpression caused G2/M arrest in breast cancer cells according to a flow cytometry assay. FAM135A knockdown enhances breast cancer cell proliferation and clone creation, as well as two-dimensional and three-dimensional migratory capacities. Patients with high FAM135A expression in their breast cancer had a better prognosis. These novel findings indicate that MIR17HG may be a potential target for breast cancer. Our findings demonstrated that MIR17HG might suppress breast cancer cell proliferation and migration by sponge miR-454-3p through ceRNA(competing endogenous RNAs) mechanism, indicating that targeting MIR17HG may be a feasible therapeutic candidate for breast cancer.

Project description:Accumulating evidences revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been participated in cancer malignant progression, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Despite much studies have found the precise biological role in the regulatory mechanisms of GBM, however the molecular mechanisms, particularly upstream mechanisms still need further elucidated. RT-QPCR, cell transfection, western blotting and bioinformatic analysis were executed to detect the expression of EGR1, HNF1A-AS1, miR-22-3p and ENO1 in GBM. Cell proliferation assay, colony formation assay, wound healing, migration and invasion assays were performed to detect the malignant characters of GBM cells. The molecular regulation mechanism was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay, ChIP and RIP. Finally, orthotopic mouse models were established to examine the effect of HNF1A-AS1 in vivo. In the current study, we analyzed clinical samples to show that the HNF1A-AS1 expression is upregulated and associated with poor patient survival in GBM. Functional studies revealed that HNF1A-AS1 knockdown markedly inhibits malignant phenotypes of GBM cells, whereas overexpression of HNF1A-AS1 exerts opposite effect. Mechanistically, the transcription factor EGR1 forced the HNF1A-AS1 expression by directly binding the promoter region of HNF1A-AS1. Furthermore, combined bioinformatics analysis with our mechanistic work, using luciferase reporter assays and RIP, we first demonstrated that HNF1A-AS1 functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) with miR-22-3p to regulate ENO1 expression in GBM cells. HNF1A-AS1 directly binds to miR-22-3p and significantly inhibits miR-22-3p expression, while ENO1 expression was increased. miR-22-3p inhibitor offsets the HNF1A-AS1 silencing induced suppression in malignant behaviors of GBM cells. ENO1 was verified as a direct target of miR-22-3p and its expression levels was negatively with the prognosis in GBM patients. Taken together, our study illuminated the definite mechanism of HNF1A-AS1 in promoting GBM malignancy, and provided a novel therapeutic target for further clinical application.
