DANCR Promotes Metastasis and Proliferation in Bladder Cancer Cells by Enhancing IL-11-STAT3 Signaling and CCND1 Expression.

ABSTRACT: The prognosis for patients with bladder cancer (BCa) with lymph node (LN) metastasis is poor, and it is not improved by current treatments. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the pathology of various tumors, including BCa. However, the role of Differentiation antagonizing non-protein coding RNA (DANCR) in BCa LN metastasis remains unclear. In this study, we discover that DANCR was significantly upregulated in BCa tissues and cases with LN metastasis. DANCR expression was positively correlated with LN metastasis status, tumor stage, histological grade, and poor patient prognosis. Functional assays demonstrated that DANCR promoted BCa cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in vitro and enhanced tumor LN metastasis and growth in vivo. Mechanistic investigations revealed that DANCR activated IL-11-STAT3 signaling and increased cyclin D1 and PLAU expression via guiding leucine-rich pentatricopeptide repeat containing (LRPPRC) to stabilize mRNA. Moreover, oncogenesis facilitated by DANCR was attenuated by anti-IL-11 antibody or a STAT3 inhibitor (BP-1-102). In conclusion, our findings indicate that DANCR induces BCa LN metastasis and proliferation via an LRPPRC-mediated mRNA stabilization mechanism. DANCR may serve as a multi-potency target for clinical intervention in LN-metastatic BCa.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly malignant cancer with poor prognosis. Several long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to be involved in the tumorigenesis and progression of GBC. However, the expressions, clinical significances, and roles of most other lncRNAs in GBC are still unknown. METHODS:The differentially expressed lncRNAs in GBC were screened through re-analyzing the public available microarray datasets. The expression of lncRNA high expressed in gallbladder cancer (lncRNA-HEGBC) in GBC was measured by qRT-PCR. The correlations between HEGBC with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis were analyzed by Pearson chi-square test and log-rank test. A series of in vitro and in vivo, gain-of and loss-of function assays were performed to investigate the roles of HEGBC in GBC cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, tumor growth and metastasis. The interactions between HEGBC and IL-11/STAT3 signaling were explored using chromatin isolation by RNA purification (ChIRP), chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), qRT-PCR, western blot, and luciferase reporter assays. RESULTS:We identified a novel lncRNA HEGBC, which is upregulated in GBC and positively associated with advanced TNM stages and poor prognosis of GBC patients. Overexpression of HEGBC increased GBC cell viability, inhibited GBC cell apoptosis, promoted GBC cell migration, and promoted GBC tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Conversely, depletion of HEGBC decreased GBC cell viability, promoted GBC cell apoptosis, inhibited GBC cell migration, and inhibited GBC tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistic investigations showed that HEGBC bound to the promoter of IL-11, increased IL-11 transcription, induced IL-11 autocrine, and activated IL-11/STAT3 signaling pathway. Furthermore, STAT3 also bound to the promoter of HEGBC and activated HEGBC expression. Thus, HEGBC/IL-11/STAT3 formed a positive regulatory loop in GBC. Depletion of IL-11 attenuated the oncogenic roles of HEGBC in GBC. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings identified a novel lncRNA HEGBC, which is upregulated and indicts poor prognosis of GBC. HEGBC exerts oncogenic roles in GBC via forming a positive regulatory loop with IL-11/STAT3 signaling. Our data suggested that HEGBC could be a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for GBC.
