RNA-binding protein PUM2 suppresses osteosarcoma progression via partly and competitively binding to STARD13 3'UTR with miRNAs.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:This work aims to reveal the roles and related mechanisms of RNA binding protein PUM2 in osteosarcoma progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Transcriptome analysis based on RNA sequencing data, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of RBPs and miRNAs in OS and normal adjacent tissues, and the correlation between them in OS tissues. RT-qPCR, western blot, cell viability, transwell migration, tumour spheres formation and in vivo tumour formation assays were used to examine the effects of RBP PUM2 on OS progression. Additionally, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay combined with RNA sequencing was performed to determine the binding site of RBP PUM2 on STARD13 3'UTR. Luciferase reporter and RIP assays were used to confirm the binding of miRNAs or PUM2 on STARD13 3'UTR. RESULTS:PUM2 and STARD13 expression was significantly decreased in OS tissues, and positively correlated. Overexpression of PUM2 or STARD13 3'UTR inhibited OS cells proliferation, migration, and stemness. Mechanistically, PUM2 competitively bound to STARD13 3'UTR with miR-590-3p and miR-9. The inhibition of PUM2 on OS cells progression was attenuated by STARD13 knockdown or related miRNAs overexpression. CONCLUSION:PUM2 suppresses OS progression via partly and competitively binding to STARD13 3'UTR with miRNAs.

Project description:Purpose:STARD13 is regulated by various miRNAs. However, there are relatively few reports describing the relationship between miRNAs and STARD13 in pancreatic cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the relationship between miRNA and STARD13 in pancreatic cancer. Patients and Methods:By analyzing the data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, the relationship between STARD13 expression and pancreatic cancer was explored. Then, through sequence alignment, the sequence complementary to miR-887-3p in the 3'UTR of STARD13 mRNA was found, mutated and cloned. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to test the relationship between STARD13 and miR-887-3p. Pancreatic cancer tumor tissue and its adjacent tissues collected, and the expression of STARD13 and miR-887-3p in pancreatic cancer tissues was analyzed by RT-qPCR. After, miR-887-3p and its inhibitor were transfected into PANC-1 cells to further confirm the regulatory relationship between miR-887-3 and STARD13 by RT-qPCR, and CCK-8, colony formation assays, cell cycle analysis, apoptosis detection and transwell analysis were used to detect changes of proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion in PANC-1 cells. Finally, through in vivo experiments, the effect of miR-887-3p on tumor growth was researched. Results:We found that STARD13 expression is lower in pancreatic cancer tissues, with the level of miR-887-3p being higher in these tissues. Pancreatic cancer patients with particularly low levels of STARD13 presented with a poor prognosis. MiR-887-3p negatively regulates the expression of STARD13. Increasing levels of miR-887-3p decreased the expression of STARD13, which promoted the proliferation, cell cycle process, cell migration and invasion, and inhibited the apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells. Inhibition of miR-887-3p in SCID mice could inhibit tumor growth and promote tumor cell apoptosis. Conclusion:In conclusion, STARD13 is negatively regulated by miR-887-3p in pancreatic cancer. MiR-877-3p may act to promote cancer progression, and as such, it is a viable target for intervention and diagnostic development.
