A positive feedback loop consisting of C12orf59/NF-κB/CDH11 promotes gastric cancer invasion and metastasis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metastasis remains the main cause of cancer-related death for gastric cancer (GC) patients, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data base and bioinformatics analyses, we identified C12orf59 might act as a potential oncogenic protein in GC.

Methods

We investigate the expression pattern and clinical significance of C12orf59 in two independent cohorts of GC samples. In the training cohort, we used the X-tile program software to generate the optimal cutoff value for C12orf59 expression in order to classify patients accurately according to clinical outcome. In the validation cohort, this derived cutoff score was applied to exam the association of C12orf59 expression with survival outcome. A series of in vivo and in vitro assays were then performed to investigate the function of C12orf59 in GC.

Results

C12orf59 was significantly upregulated, and associated with poor survival outcome in two cohorts of GC samples. Gain- and loss of- function studies demonstrated C12orf59 promotes GC cell invasive and metastatic capacity both in vitro and in vivo, and induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis. Mechanically, C12orf59 exerts oncogenic functions by up-regulating CDH11 expression via NF-κB signaling. Interesting, CDH11 could in turn promote NF-κB bind to C12orf59's promoter and form a positive feedback loop to sustain the metastatic ability of GC cells. Additionally, downregulation of miR-654-5p is another important mechanism for C12orf59 overexpression in GC.

Conclusion

Our finding suggested the newly identified C12orf59/NF-κB/CDH11 feedback loop may represent a new strategy for GC treatment.

Long noncoding RNA LINC01578 drives colon cancer metastasis through a positive feedback loop with the NF-κB/YY1 axis.

Project description:Metastasis accounts for poor prognosis of cancers and related deaths. Accumulating evidence has shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in several types of cancer. However, which lncRNAs contribute to metastasis of colon cancer is still largely unknown. In this study, we found that lncRNA LINC01578 was correlated with metastasis and poor prognosis of colon cancer. LINC01578 was upregulated in colon cancer, associated with metastasis, advanced clinical stages, poor overall survival, disease-specific survival, and disease-free survival. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays revealed that LINC01578 enhanced colon cancer cell viability and mobility in vitro and colon cancer liver metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and Yin Yang 1 (YY1) directly bound to the LINC01578 promoter, enhanced its activity, and activated LINC01578 expression. LINC01578 was shown to be a chromatin-bound lncRNA, which directly bound NFKBIB promoter. Furthermore, LINC01578 interacted with and recruited EZH2 to NFKBIB promoter and further repressed NFKBIB expression, thereby activating NF-κB signaling. Through activation of NF-κB, LINC01578 further upregulated YY1 expression. Through activation of the NF-κB/YY1 axis, LINC01578 in turn enhanced its own promoter activity, suggesting that LINC01578 and NF-κB/YY1 formed a positive feedback loop. Blocking NF-κB signaling abolished the oncogenic roles of LINC01578 in colon cancer. Furthermore, the expression levels of LINC01578, NFKBIB, and YY1 were correlated in clinical tissues. Collectively, this study demonstrated that LINC01578 promoted colon cancer metastasis via forming a positive feedback loop with NF-κB/YY1 and suggested that LINC01578 represents a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for colon cancer metastasis.

lncRNA-NKILA/NF-κB feedback loop modulates laryngeal cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and radioresistance.

Project description:Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common head and neck malignant tumors and is commonly resistant to X-ray-based radiotherapy. NF-κB interacting lncRNA (NKILA) has been reported to serve as a tumor suppressor in several cancers through combining with NF-κB: IκB complex thereby inhibiting NF-κB activation. Herein, we demonstrated a low NKILA expression in laryngeal cancer and its correlation with shorter overall survival in patients with laryngeal cancer. NKILA serves as a tumor suppressor in laryngeal cancer by suppressing laryngeal cancer cell viability and migration, whereas promoting cell apoptosis; NKILA knockdown reverses the cytotoxicity of X-ray radiation on laryngeal cancer cells through combining with NF-κB: IκB complex to inhibit IκB phosphorylation, inhibit p65 nuclear translocation, and finally inhibit NF-κB activation. NF-κB binds to the promoter region of NKILA to activate its transcriptional activity, upregulated NKILA then inhibits IκB phosphorylation and NF-κB activation, thus forming a negative feedback loop to sensitize laryngeal cancer cell to X-ray radiation. In conclusion, NKILA can serve as a promising agent of enhancing the cytotoxicity of X-ray radiation on laryngeal cancer and addressing the radioresistance of laryngeal cancer.

Feedback loop in miR-449b-3p/ADAM17/NF-κB promotes metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Project description:An emerging body of evidence has promoted the understanding of the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in tumorigenesis and progression, but the mediating function of miRNAs in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) development remains poorly elucidated. In this study, miR-449b-3p was downregulated in NPC specimens (P < .001) and cells (P < .05). Cytological and animal experiments provided evidence that miR-449b-3p inhibited NPC metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) was revealed as a direct target of miR-449b-3p. Rescue experiments suggested that the downregulation of ADAM17 in the miR-449b-3p knockdown cells partially reversed the inhibition of cell invasion and migration. Luciferase reporter assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, and Western blot analysis showed that ADAM17 could suppress the promoter activity and expression of miR-449b-3p by inducing NF-κB transcriptional activity. In conclusion, our study provided new insights into the underlying mechanism of the invasion and metastasis of NPC. The novel miR-449b-3p/ADAM17/NF-κB feedback loop could be a target for the clinical treatment of NPC.

S100A11 functions as novel oncogene in glioblastoma via S100A11/ANXA2/NF-κB positive feedback loop.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most universal type of primary brain malignant tumour, and the prognosis of patients with GBM is poor. S100A11 plays an essential role in tumour. However, the role and molecular mechanism of S100A11 in GBM are not clear. Here, we found that S100A11 was up-regulated in GBM tissues and higher S100A11 expression indicated poor prognosis of GBM patients. Overexpression of S100A11 promoted GBM cell growth, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, invasion and generation of glioma stem cells (GSCs), whereas its knockdown inhibited these activities. More importantly, S100A11 interacted with ANXA2 and regulated NF-κB signalling pathway through decreasing ubiquitination and degradation of ANXA2. Additionally, NF-κB regulated S100A11 at transcriptional level as a positive feedback. We also demonstrated the S100A11 on tumour growth in GBM using an orthotopic tumour xenografting. These data demonstrate that S100A11/ANXA2/NF-κB positive feedback loop in GBM cells that promote the progression of GBM.

LINC01410-miR-532-NCF2-NF-kB feedback loop promotes gastric cancer angiogenesis and metastasis.

Project description:Dysregulation of non-coding RNAs, including miRNAs and lncRNAs has been reported to play vital roles in gastric cancer (GC) carcinogenesis, but the mechanism involved is largely unknown. Using the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) data set and bioinformatics analyses, we identified miR-532-5p as a potential tumor suppressor in GC, and found that lncRNA LINC01410 might be a negative regulator of miR-532-5p. We then conducted a series of in vivo and in vitro assays to explore the effect of LINC01410 on miR-532-5p-mediated GC malignancy and the underlying mechanism involved. MiR-532-5p overexpression inhibited GC metastasis and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo, whereas miR-532-5p silencing had the opposite effect. Further study showed that miR-532-5p attenuated NF-κB signaling by directly inhibiting NCF2 expression, while miR-532-5p silencing in GC enhanced NF-κB activity. Furthermore, we demonstrated miR-532-5p down-regulation was caused by aberrantly high expression of LINC01410 in GC. Mechanistically, overexpression of LINC01410 promoted GC angiogenesis and metastasis by binding to and suppressing miR-532-5p, which resulted in up-regulation of NCF2 and sustained NF-κB pathway activation. Interestingly, NCF2 could in turn increase the promoter activity and expression of LINC01410 via NF-κB, thus forming a positive feedback loop that drives the malignant behavior of GC. Finally, high expression of LINC01410, along with low expression of miR-532-5p, was associated with poor survival outcome in GC patients. Our studies uncover a mechanism for constitutive LINC1410-miR-532-5p-NCF2-NF-κB feedback loop activation in GC, and consequently, as a potential therapeutic target in GC treatment.

Tumor-associated macrophages promote the metastasis and growth of non-small-cell lung cancer cells through NF-κB/PP2Ac-positive feedback loop.

Project description:Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with its aggressive biological behavior, is one of the most diagnosed cancers. Tumor-associated inflammatory cells play important roles in the interaction between chronic inflammation and lung cancer, however the mechanisms involved are far from defined. In the present study, by developing an orthotopic NSCLC mouse model based on chronic inflammation, we proved that an inflammatory microenvironment accelerated the growth of orthotopic xenografts in vivo. Tumor-associated macrophages, the most abundant population of inflammatory cells, were identified. Treatment with macrophage-conditioned medium (MCM) promoted the growth and migration of NSCLC cells. Using bioinformatics analysis, we identified downregulated PP2Ac expression in NSCLC cells upon treatment with MCM. We further confirmed that this downregulation was executed in an NF-κB pathway-dependent manner. As IκB kinase (IKK) has been proved to be a substrate of PP2Ac, inhibition on PP2Ac could result in amplification of NF-κB pathway signaling. Overexpression of PP2Ac, or the dominant-negative forms of IKK or IκB, attenuated the acceleration of growth and metastasis by MCM. Using bioinformatics analysis, we further identified that CXCL1 and COL6A1 could be downstream of NF-κB/PP2Ac pathway. Luciferase assay and ChIP assay further confirmed the location of response elements on the promoter regions of CXCL1 and COL6A1. Elevated CXCL1 facilitated angiogenesis, whereas upregulated COL6A1 promoted proliferation and migration.

PCDHB17P/miR-145-3p/MELK/NF-κB Feedback Loop Promotes Metastasis and Angiogenesis of Breast Cancer.

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the most common life-threatening cancers, mainly because of its aggressiveness and metastasis. Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the development and progression of breast cancer. Nevertheless, the function and expression level of lncRNAs in breast cancer are still not fully understood. Here, we demonstrated that lncRNA PCDHB17P was up-expressed in human breast cancer tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of PCDHB17P remarkably suppressed migration and invasion, as well as tube formation ability of breast cancer cells. MiR-145-3p was significantly decreased in breast cancer samples, which was negatively correlated to the expression of PCDHB17P. In addition, we identified that MELK was a direct target gene of miR-145-3p, which was higher expressed in breast cancer tissues than that in adjacent normal tissues. Mechanistic investigation indicated that PCDHB17P acted as a cancer-promoting competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by binding miR-145-3p and upregulating MELK. Interestingly, MELK could in turn increase the promoter activity and expression of PCDHB17P via NF-κB, thus forming a positive feedback loop that drives the metastasis and angiogenesis of breast cancer. Overall, the results demonstrated that the constitutive activation of PCDHB17P/miR-145-3p/MELK/NF-κB feedback loop promotes the metastasis and angiogenesis of breast cancer, suggesting that this lncRNA might be a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for breast cancer.

A positive feedback loop between LINC01605 and NF-κB pathway promotes tumor growth in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Project description:zong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as crucial effector in modulating the progression of assorted malignancies. In our study, the main aim was to unveil the role and the underlying regulatory mechanism of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1605 (LINC01605) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). RT-qPCR analysis results suggested that LINC01605 was upregulated in NPC cells. According to the results of function experiments, LINC01605 promoted NPC cell proliferation and impeded cell apoptosis. The oncogenic role of LINC01605 in NPC was further validated by animal experiments. Additionally, we verified that LINC01605 regulated Ikbkb expression to promote the nuclear translocation of p65 and thereby activated the NF-κB pathway in NPC cells. Mechanism experiments further suggested that LINC01605 could regulate Ikbkb expression via sponging miR-942-5p. Moreover, LINC01605 recruited IGF2BP2 to stabilize ubiquitin-specific protease 3 (USP3) mRNA and thereby enhanced the stability of IkB subunit beta (IKKβ) protein. In addition, p65 acted as a transcription activator to upregulate LINC01605 in NPC cells. In conclusion, this study demonstrated a positive feedback loop between LINC01605 and the NF-κB signalling pathway that promoted NPC cell growth, thus providing new insights to better understand NPC.

CircRNF10-DHX15 interaction suppressed breast cancer progression by antagonizing DHX15-NF-κB p65 positive feedback loop.

Project description:BackgroundBreast cancer (BC) is a common threat to women. The continuous activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway contributes to the development of BC. This study aimed to investigate the role of a circular RNA (circRNF10) in BC progression and regulating NF-κB signaling pathway.MethodsBioinformatics analysis, RT-qPCR, subcellular fractionation, FISH, RNase R treatment, and actinomycin D assay were used to explore the expression and characteristics of circRNF10 in BC. The biological functions of circRNF10 in BC were analyzed by MTT assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay, and Transwell assay. RNA pulldown and RIP assay were used to identify the interaction between circRNF10 and DEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) box helicase 15 (DHX15). The impact of circRNF10-DHX15 interaction on NF-κB signaling pathway was explored by western blot, IF, and co-IP. Furthermore, dual-luciferase reporter assay, ChIP, and EMSA were performed to assess the effect of NF-κB p65 on DHX15 transcription.ResultsCircRNF10 was downregulated in BC, and lower expression of circRNF10 was related to poor prognosis of patients with BC. CircRNF10 inhibited the proliferation and migration of BC. Mechanically, circRNF10-DHX15 interaction sequestered DHX15 from NF-κB p65, thereby inhibiting the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway. On the other hand, NF-κB p65 enhanced DHX15 transcription by binding to the promoter of DHX15. Altogether, circRNF10 impaired the DHX15-NF-κB p65 positive feedback loop and suppressed the progression of BC.ConclusionCircRNF10-DHX15 interaction suppressed the DHX15-NF-κB p65 positive feedback loop, thereby inhibiting BC progression. These findings provide new insights in the continuous activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and raised potential therapeutic approach for BC treatment.

STX2 promotes colorectal cancer metastasis through a positive feedback loop that activates the NF-?B pathway.

Project description:Metastatic progression is the main contributor to the poor prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Thus, identifying the determinants of CRC metastasis will be of great significance. Based on our previous bioinformatics analysis, Syntaxin2 (STX2) may be upregulated and correlated with the poor prognosis of CRC patients. In this study, we found that STX2 expression was associated with CRC invasion and metastasis and poor patient survival. Gain- and loss-of-function analyses demonstrated that STX2 functioned as a key oncogene by promoting CRC invasion and metastasis. Mechanistically, STX2 selectively interacted with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and activated the nuclear transcription factor-?B (NF-?B) signaling pathway. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis revealed that NF-?B directly bound to the STX2 promoter and drove STX2 transcription. Therefore, STX2 activated the NF-?B pathway, and in turn, NF-?B increased STX2 expression, forming a positive signaling loop that eventually promoted CRC metastasis. Collectively, our results reveal STX2 as a crucial modulator of the aggressive CRC phenotype and highlight STX2 as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for combating CRC metastasis.
