Long Non-coding RNA CDKN2B Antisense RNA 1 Gene Contributes to Paclitaxel Resistance in Endometrial Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common malignancy of the female reproductive tract. In this study, we clarified the clinical significance of CDKN2B antisense RNA 1 (CDKN2B-AS) gene, and its effects on paclitaxel sensitivity in EC. Firstly, CDKN2B-AS gene was highly expressed in EC tissues and cell lines. The high-expression of CDKN2B-AS gene was associated with high pathological grade and low paclitaxel sensitivity of EC tissues. Knockdown of CDKN2B-AS gene sensitized Ishikawa/PA and HEC1A/PA cells to paclitaxel, and promoted paclitaxel-induced cytotoxicity. Secondly, the low-expression of miR-125a-5p was closely associated with low paclitaxel sensitivity of EC cells, and up-regulation of miR-125a-5p could increase paclitaxel sensitivity of Ishikawa/PA and HEC1A/PA cells. MiR-125a-5p also mediated the suppressive effects of knockdown of CDKN2B-AS on paclitaxel resistance in EC cells. Thirdly, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl2) and Multidrug Resistance-Associated Protein 4 (MRP4) genes were target genes of miR-125a-5p, which modulated paclitaxel resistance of Ishikawa/PA and HEC1A/PA cells through targeted silencing Bcl2 and MRP4. In conclusion, high-expression of CDKN2B-AS is associated with a poor response to paclitaxel of EC patients, and knockdown of CDKN2B-AS inhibits paclitaxel resistance through miR-125a-5p-Bcl2/MRP4 pathway in EC patients. Our findings help elucidate the molecular mechanisms of chemoresistance in EC patients.

Project description:BackgroundAtherosclerosis involves a slow process of plaque formation on the walls of arteries, and comprises a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In this study, we aim to explore the possible involvement of lncRNA 'cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense noncoding RNA' (CDKN2B-AS1) and CDKN2B in the progression of atherosclerosis.MethodsInitially, we quantified the expression of CDKN2B-AS1 in atherosclerotic plaque tissues and, in THP-1 macrophage-derived, and human primary macrophage (HPM)-derived foam cells. Next, we established a mouse model of atherosclerosis using apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-/-) mice, where lipid uptake, lipid accumulation, and macrophage reverse cholesterol transport (mRCT) were assessed, in order to explore the contributory role of CDKN2B-AS1 to the progression of atherosclerosis. RIP and ChIP assays were used to identify interactions between CDKN2B-AS1, CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2), and CDKN2B. Triplex formation was determined by RNA-DNA pull-down and capture assay as well as EMSA experiment.FindingsCDKN2B-AS1 showed high expression levels in atherosclerosis, whereas CDKN2B showed low expression levels. CDKN2B-AS1 accelerated lipid uptake and intracellular lipid accumulation whilst attenuating mRCT in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells, HPM-derived foam cells, and in the mouse model. EZH2 and CTCF were found to bind to the CDKN2B promoter region. An RNA-DNA triplex formed by CDKN2B-AS1 and CDKN2B promoter was found to recruit EZH2 and CTCF in the CDKN2B promoter region and consequently inhibit CDKN2B transcription by accelerating histone methylation.InterpretationThe results demonstrated that CDKN2B-AS1 promotes atherosclerotic plaque formation and inhibits mRCT in atherosclerosis by regulating CDKN2B promoter, and thereby could be a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.

Project description:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for 90% of oral cavity cancer types, but the overall prognosis for patients with OSCC remains unfavorable. Cisplatin (DDP) is an effective drug in OSCC treatment, but DDP resistance weakens its therapeutic effect. Opa-interacting protein 5 antisense RNA 1 (OIP5-AS1) can trigger DDP resistance. The purpose of the current study was to explore the role and mechanism ofOIP5-AS1 in OSCC DDP resistance. In the present study, the expression levels of OIP5-AS1, microRNA (miR)-27b-3p and tripartite motif-containing 14 (TRIM14) were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. DDP resistance was measured using an MTT assay. Moreover, cell proliferation, migration and invasion were assessed by MTT, Transwell, and Matrigel assays. Protein expression levels of TRIM14, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Vimentin were detected by western blot analysis. Putative binding sites between miR-27b-3p andOIP5-AS1 or TRIM14werepredicted with starBase and verified using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. The role of OIP5-AS1 in DDP resistance of OSCC in vivo was measured using a xenograft tumor model. It was observed that OIP5-AS1 was upregulated in DDP-resistant OSCC cells, and the knockdown of OIP5-AS1 improved DDP sensitivity in DDP-resistant OSCC cells. The present study identified that miR-27b-3p was a target of OIP5-AS1. Furthermore, miR-27b-3p silencing reversed the effect of OIP5-AS1 knockdown on DDP sensitivity in DDP-resistant OSCC cells. TRIM14was shown to be a direct target of miR-27b-3p, and TRIM14 overexpression abolished the effect of miR-27b-3p on DDP sensitivity in DDP-resistant OSCC cells. The results suggested that OIP5-AS1 increased TRIM14 expression by sponging miR-27b-3p. In addition, OIP5-AS1 knockdown enhanced DDP sensitivity of OSCC in vivo. Data from the present study indicated that OIP5-AS1 may improve DDP resistance through theupregulationTRIM14 mediated bymiR-27b-3p, providing a possible therapeutic strategy for OSCC treatment.
