LncRNA-ES3/miR-34c-5p/BMF axis is involved in regulating high-glucose-induced calcification/senescence of VSMCs.

ABSTRACT: Vascular calcification/aging is common in diabetes and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality of patients. MiR-34c-5p, not miR-34c-3p, was suppressed significantly in calcification/senescence of human aorta vascular smooth muscle cells (HA-VSMCs) induced by high glucose, which was proven by the formation of mineralized nodules and staining of senescence associated-β-galactosidase staining (SA β-gal) positive cells. Overexpression of miR-34c-5p alleviated calcification/senescence of HA-VSMCs, whereas inhibition of miR-34c-5p received the opposite results. Bcl-2 modifying factor (BMF) was a functional target of miR-34c-5p and it was involved in the process of calcification/senescence of HA-VSMCs. Besides, lncRNA-ES3 acted as a competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) of miR-34c-5p to enhance BMF expression. Further, lncRNA-ES3 inhibited miR-34c-5p expression by direct interaction and its knockdown suppressed the calcification/senescence of HA-VSMCs. Our results showed for the first time that the calcification/senescence of VSMCs was regulated by lncRNA-ES3 /miR-34c-5p/BMF axis.

LncRNA MIR22HG inhibits growth, migration and invasion through regulating the miR-10a-5p/NCOR2 axis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Project description:Despite the rapidly identified numbers of lncRNA in humans, exploration of the molecular mechanisms of lncRNA is lagging, because the molecular mechanisms of lncRNA can be various and complex in different conditions. In this study, we found a new molecular mechanism for a versatile molecule, MIR22HG. MIR22HG is an lncRNA that contributes to the initiation and progression of many human cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We report that MIR22HG was downregulated in 120 HCC samples compared with adjacent nontumor liver tissues. More interestingly, decreased expression of MIR22HG in HCC could predict poor prognosis of HCC patients. Knockdown of MIR22HG promoted the growth, migration and invasion of HCC cells. In exploring the molecular mechanism of MIR22HG, we found that MIR22HG functioned as a tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinomas, in part through serving as a competing endogenous RNA to modulate the miRNA-10a-5p level. Moreover, NCOR2 was verified to act as the downstream target gene of MIR22HG/miR-10a-5p. In addition, the MIR22HG/miRNA-10a-5p/NCOR2 axis inhibited the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Together, our results demonstrated that MIR22HG inhibited HCC progression in part through the miR-10a-5p/NCOR2 signaling axis and might act as a new prognostic biomarker for HCC patients.

LncRNA HOXA-AS3 promotes the malignancy of glioblastoma through regulating miR-455-5p/USP3 axis.

Project description:Our objective was to determine the molecular mechanisms by which lncRNA HOXA-AS3 regulates the biological behaviour of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). We used an lncRNA microarray assay to identify GBM-related lncRNA expression profiles. Qrt-PCR was used to survey the levels of expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HOXA-AS3 and the target gene. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were used to investigate the interaction of lncRNA HOXA-AS3, the target gene and miRNA. Western blot analysis was used to examine the expression of USP3 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) genes. The MTT assay, transwell assay and wound healing assay were used to analyse the effects of lncRNA HOXA-AS3 on GBM cell viability, mobility and invasiveness, respectively. Our results showed that lncRNA HOXA-AS3 was significantly up-regulated in GBM cells and could promote GBM cell proliferation, invasion and migration in vitro and in vivo. HOXA-AS was found to be associated with poor survival prognosis in glioma patients. The dual-luciferase reporter assay also revealed that lncRNA HOXA-AS3 acts as a mir-455-5p sponge by up-regulating USP3 expression to promote GBM progression. Western blot analysis showed that lncRNA HOXA-AS3 could up-regulate EMT-related gene expression in GBM. Experiments showed mir-455-5p could rescue the effect of lncRNA HOXA-AS3 on cell proliferation and invasion. The newly identified HOXA-AS3/mir-455-5p/USP3 pathway offers important clues to understanding the key mechanisms underlying the action of lncRNA HOXA-AS3 in glioblastoma.

LncRNA FTX Contributes to the Progression of Colorectal Cancer Through Regulating miR-192-5p/EIF5A2 Axis.

Project description:Background:Long non-coding RAN five prime to Xist (LncRNA FTX) has been revealed to be a cancer-related lncRNA and implicated in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Besides, miR-192-5p (miR-192) or eukaryotic initiation factor 5A2 (EIF5A2) also was identified to link with the tumorigenesis of CRC. Here, we further explored the function of FTX and the regulatory relationship among FTX, miR-192 and EIF5A2 in CRC progression. Methods:Levels of FTX, miR-192-5p and EIF5A2 were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or Western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were analyzed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, flow cytometry or transwell assay, respectively. The interaction between miR-192-5p and FTX or EIF5A2 was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter and pull-down assay. Murine xenograft model was established using LoVo cells transfected with sh-FTX. Results:FTX was up-regulated in CRC tissues and cell lines, knockdown of FTX inhibited CRC cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro as well as suppressed CRC tumor growth in vivo. FTX was confirmed to directly bind to miR-192-5p and negatively regulated miR-192-5p expression in CRC cells. Besides that overexpressed FTX positively modulated EIF5A2, a direct target of miR-192-5p, via miR-192-5p in CRC cells. Importantly, the inhibitory activities on CRC progression mediated by FTX deletion were reversed miR-192-5p down-regulation or EIF5A2 up-regulation. Conclusion:LncRNA FTX functioned as an oncogene to contribute to CRC progression by regulating miR-192-5p/EIF5A2 axis, providing a novel insight into the pathogenesis of CRC and a promising therapeutic target for CRC treatment.

LncRNA TUG1 contributes to the tumorigenesis of lung adenocarcinoma by regulating miR-138-5p-HIF1A axis.

Project description:IntroductionIncreasing evidence indicates that lncRNA TUG1 represents an oncogenic factor in cancer. But, the mechanisms by which lncRNA TUG1 contributes to lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) remain undocumented.MethodsThe relationship between lncRNA TUG1/miR-138-5p expression and clinical outcomes in patients with LAC was indicated by qPCR, FISH, and TCGA cohort. Gain- or loss-of-function experiments and in vivo tumorigenesis were used to assess the role of lncRNA TUG1 in LAC. The interplay between TUG1 and miR-138-5p was validated by luciferase gene report and RIP assays. qPCR and Western blot analyses were used to investigate the effects of TUG1 on miR-138-5p/HIF1A axis in LAC cells.ResultsWe found that upregulation of TUG1 or downregulation of miR-138-5p was associated with lymph node or distant metastasis and indicated a poor survival in LAC. Reduced expression of TUG1 restrained the growth of LAC cells, while restored expression of TUG1 had the opposite effects. TUG1 was identified to negatively regulate miR-138-5p expression, and miR-138-5p reversed TUG1-induced cell proliferation by targeting HIF1A. Elevated expression of HIF1A predicted a poor survival in LAC.ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that lncRNA TUG1 promotes the growth of LAC by regulating miR-138-5p-HIF1A axis.

lncRNA FGD5‑AS1 promotes breast cancer progression by regulating the hsa‑miR‑195‑5p/NUAK2 axis.

Project description:Breast cancer is the second most prevalent cancer in women worldwide. Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as important regulators of tumorigenesis and tumor metastasis. lncRNA FGD5‑AS1 has been previously reported as a carcinogenic gene, however its role in breast cancer has yet to be investigated. The present study aimed to understand the function of lncRNA FGD5‑AS1 in breast cancer and examine the underlying molecular mechanisms. Sample tissues for downstream gene expression profiling were collected from patients with breast cancer (n=23). The effect of FGD5‑AS1 overexpression on cell viability, invasion and migration has been studied in breast cancer cells (MDA‑MB‑231). Changes in glycolysis were monitored by comparing glucose consumption, lactate production and ATP levels. Using StarBase and TargetScan databases a putative interaction between FGD5‑AS1, miR‑195‑5p and SNF1‑like kinase 2 (NUAK2) was predicted in silico. Expression levels of FGD5‑AS1, has‑miR‑195‑5p and NUAK2 were validated by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and interactions were validated using dual‑luciferase reporter assays and RNA pull‑down. High expression of lncRNA FGD5‑AS1 was detected in breast cancer tissue samples and disease model cell lines. Silencing of FGD5‑AS1 led to decreased cell proliferation, migration and invasion. It was identified that at a molecular level FGD5‑AS1 serves as a sponge of miR‑195‑5p and alters the expression of its downstream target gene NUAK2. In breast cancer lncRNA FGD5‑AS1 serve a key role in glycolysis and tumor progression via the miR‑195‑5p/NUAK2 axis. The findings of the present study indicated FGD5‑AS1 as a candidate target for intervention in patients with breast cancer.

LncRNA HCP5 knockdown inhibits high glucose-induced excessive proliferation, fibrosis and inflammation of human glomerular mesangial cells by regulating the miR-93-5p/HMGA2 axis.

Project description:BackgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are widely reported to be involved in the development of human diseases. HLA complex P5 (HCP5) deregulation is associated with various diseases. However, the function of HCP5 in diabetic nephropathy (DN) is unclear.MethodsHuman glomerular mesangial cells (HGMCs) were treated with high glucose (HG) to establish DN cell models. The expression of HCP5, miR-93-5p and high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) mRNA was detected using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR). Cell proliferation and cell apoptosis were assessed using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry assay, respectively. The expression of apoptosis- and fibrosis-related proteins and HMGA2 protein was quantified by western blot. The release of pro-inflammatory factor was checked using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The predicted relationship between miR-93-5p and HCP5 or HMGA2 was verified using dual-luciferase reporter assay, pull-down assay or RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay.ResultsThe expression of HCP5 and HMGA2 was enhanced, while the expression of miR-93-5p was declined in DN serum samples and HG-treated HGMCs. HCP5 knockdown or miR-93-5p restoration ameliorated HG-induced HGMC proliferation, fibrosis and inflammation. MiR-93-5p was a target of HCP5, and miR-93-5p inhibition reversed the effects caused by HCP5 knockdown. Moreover, HMGA2 was a target of miR-93-5p, and HMGA2 overexpression abolished the effects of miR-93-5p restoration. HCP5 knockdown inhibited the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.ConclusionHCP5 was implicated in DN progression by modulating the miR-93-5p/HMGA2 axis, which provided new insights into the understanding of DN pathogenesis.

LncRNA KCNQ1OT1 sponges miR-34c-5p to promote osteosarcoma growth via ALDOA enhanced aerobic glycolysis.

Project description:Metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis, which is also called the Warburg effect, is a hallmark of osteosarcoma (OS) and leads to the enhancement of cell chemoresistance, growth, metastasis, and invasion. Emerging evidence indicates that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays a crucial role in the Warburg effect of cancer cells. Here, we report that lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 was upregulated in OS. Meanwhile, functional experiments demonstrated that the KCNQ1OT1 facilitated proliferation and suppressed apoptosis of OS cells. In addition, KCNQ1OT1 contributed to the Warburg effect by stimulating aldolase A (ALDOA) expression. Furthermore, using bioinformatics analysis, luciferase reporter, RNA immunoprecipitation, and RNA pull-down assay, we identified that KCNQ1OT1 functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by sponging miR-34c-5p, which inhibited ALDOA expression by directly targeting its 3'UTR. Taken together, these data identified a key role of KCNQ1OT1 in glucose metabolism reprogramming of OS. Targeting the KCNQ1OT1/miR-34c-5p/ALDOA axis may be a potential therapeutic target in OS treatment.

LncRNA FAM83H-AS1 promotes triple-negative breast cancer progression by regulating the miR-136-5p/metadherin axis.

Project description:In this study, we evaluated the function and regulation of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FAM83H-AS1 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Our data show that the FAM83H-AS1 levels are increased in human TNBC cells and tissues. Proliferation, migration, and invasion of TNBC cells are decreased by FAM83H-AS1 suppression, but increased by FAM83H-AS1 overexpression. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that miR-136-5p is a potential target of FAM83H-AS1. MiR-136-5p expression is decreased in TNBC tissues, and its overexpression suppresses TNBC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. MiR-136-5p suppression reverses the FAM83H-AS1 silencing-mediated inhibition of TNBC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, suggesting that FAM83H-AS1 exerts its oncogenic effect by inhibiting miR-136-5p. Our data identify metadherin (MTDH) as the target gene of miR-136-5p, and demonstrate that the MTDH expression is increased in human TNBC tissues, which induces proliferation, migration, and invasion of TNBC cells. Importantly, our in vivo data show that FAM83H-AS1 also promotes tumor growth in TNBC mouse xenografts. Together, our results demonstrate that FAM83H-AS1 functions as an oncogenic lncRNA that regulates miR-136-5p and MTDH expression during TNBC progression, and suggest that targeting the FAM83H-AS1/miR-136-5p/MTDH axis may serve as a novel therapeutic target in TNBC.

The lncRNA LINC01194/miR-486-5p Axis Facilitates Malignancy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer via Regulating CDK4.

Project description:Background:This experimental design was based on lncRNA LINC01194 to explore the pathogenesis of NSCLC. Methods:RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA LINC01194 and miR-486-5p in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. CCK-8, colony formation, and transwell assays were used to examine the effects of lncRNA LINC01194 and miR-486-5p on NSCLC cell proliferation and migration invasiveness. For target gene prediction and screening, luciferase reporter assays were used to verify downstream target genes for lncRNA LINC01194 and miR-486-5p. The protein expression of CDK4 was detected using Western blotting. The tumor changes in mice were detected by in vivo experiments in nude mice. Results:LncRNA LINC01194 was highly expressed in NSCLC tissues and NSCLC lines (A549, H1299, H460 cells, H1975), and lncRNA LINC01194 significantly promoted cell proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells. MiR-486-5p was identified as a potential target for LINC01194, and miR-486-5p was expressed at a low level in NSCLC tissues and NSCLC lines (A549, H1299, H460 cells, H1975). CDK4 was identified as a potential target for miR-486-5p. LncRNA LINC01194 was able to inhibit miR-486-5p expression and upregulate the expression level of CDK4. Finally, the results of in vivo animal models confirmed that lncRNA LINC01194 promoted NSCLC progression by modulating the miR-486-5p/CDK4 axis. Conclusion:LncRNA LINC01194 promoted the progression of NSCLC by modulating the miR-486-5p/CDK4 axis.
