G-protein-coupled receptor kinase-5 promotes glioblastoma progression by targeting the nuclear factor kappa B pathway.

ABSTRACT: G-protein-coupled receptor kinase-5 (GRK5) plays essential roles in multiple celluar events. However, its role in the development and progression of glioma is poorly understood. In this research, we found that GRK5 is significantly upregulated in human gliomas. For the first time, a close relationship was noted between GRK5 expression and blood vessel development in human glioma. Specifically co-expression of GRK5 and the tumor stem cell marker CD133 was observed in the cytoplasm of high grade glioma cells. The depletion of GRK5 suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion in glioma cells, and promoted apoptosis. We next discovered that GRK5 knockdown inhibits the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B) pathway, thus resulting in downregulation of key downstream secretory products CCL2, IL-6 and IL-8 in glioma cell conditioned medium (CM). In addition, treatment of cells with the NF-?B stimulator PMA reversed this effect and increased the GRK5 level. Our results demonstrate an oncogenic role for GRK5 and reveal an activation of the GRK5-NF-?B pathway during the malignant progression of glioma.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hsa-microRNA-27b-3p (hsa-miR-27b) is involved in the formation and progression of various cancers, but its role and clinical value in HCC remain unclear.MethodsThe expression of hsa-miR-27b in HCC was examined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and in situ hybridization (ISH) assays of clinical samples. Cell Counting Kit-8 assays (CCK-8), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation assays, Transwell assays, filamentous actin (F-actin) staining and western blot analyses were used to determine the effects of hsa-miR-27b on HCC cells in vitro. Subcutaneous xenograft and lung metastatic animal experiments were conducted to verify the role of hsa-miR-27b in HCC in vivo. In silico prediction, qRT-PCR, western blot, anti-Argonaute 2 (AGO2) RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and dual luciferase reporter assays were applied to identify the target genes of hsa-miR-27b. To detect the impacts of hsa-miR-27b on nuclear factor kappa B (NF-кB) signalling cascades mediated by transforming growth factor-activated kinase-binding protein 3 (TAB3), we performed qRT-PCR, western blot assays, immunofluorescence staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and dual-luciferase reporter assays. Recombinant oncolytic adenovirus (OncoAd) overexpressing hsa-miR-27b was constructed to detect their therapeutic value in HCC.ResultsThe expression of hsa-miR-27b was lower in HCC than in adjacent non-tumourous tissues (ANTs), and the reduced expression of hsa-miR-27b was associated with worse outcomes in patients with HCC. Hsa-miR-27b significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, subcutaneous tumour growth and lung metastasis of HCC cells. The suppression of hsa-miR-27b promoted the nuclear translocation of NF-κB by upregulating TAB3 expression. TAB3 was highly expressed in HCC compared with ANTs and was negatively correlated with the expression of hsa-miR-27b. The impaired cell proliferation, migration and invasion by hsa-miR-27b overexpression were recovered by ectopic expression of TAB3. Recombinant OncoAd with overexpression of hsa-miR-27b induced anti-tumour activity compared with that induced by negative control (NC) OncoAd in vivo and in vitro.ConclusionsBy targeting TAB3, hsa-miR-27b acted as a tumour suppressor by inactivating the NF-кB pathway in HCC in vitro and in vivo, indicating its therapeutic value against HCC.
