Long noncoding RNA LINC00337 promote gastric cancer proliferation through repressing p21 mediated by EZH2.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer is one of the most common human malignancies. Some long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been validated to be oncogene in gastric cancer. In this research, we found that LINC00337 was up-regulated in the gastric cancer cells and tissue specimens. Clinically, the ectopic LINC00337 overexpression indicates the poor clinical outcome. The functional experiments illustrated that LINC00337 silencing repressed the proliferation, invasion and tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. The mechanical experiments showed that LINC00337 epigenetically repressed the p21 via EZH2-mediated inhibition. Overall, this finding suggests that LINC00337 acts as the oncogene to promote gastric cancer cells proliferation through epigenetically repressing p21 mediated by EZH2, providing a new insight for gastric cancer.

EZH2 regulates neuroepithelium structure and neuroblast proliferation by repressing p21.

Project description:The function of EZH2 as a transcription repressor is well characterized. However, its role during vertebrate development is still poorly understood, particularly in neurogenesis. Here, we uncover the role of EZH2 in controlling the integrity of the neural tube and allowing proper progenitor proliferation. We demonstrate that knocking down the EZH2 in chick embryo neural tubes unexpectedly disrupts the neuroepithelium (NE) structure, correlating with alteration of the Rho pathway, and reduces neural progenitor proliferation. Moreover, we use transcriptional profiling and functional assays to show that EZH2-mediated repression of p21(WAF1/CIP1) contributes to both processes. Accordingly, overexpression of cytoplasmic p21(WAF1/CIP1) induces NE structural alterations and p21(WAF1/CIP1) suppression rescues proliferation defects and partially compensates for the structural alterations and the Rho activity. Overall, our findings describe a new role of EZH2 in controlling the NE integrity in the neural tube to allow proper progenitor proliferation.

Long noncoding RNA ZFAS1 promotes gastric cancer cells proliferation by epigenetically repressing KLF2 and NKD2 expression.

Project description:Recently, long noncoding RNAs have been emerged as critical regulators of human disease and prognostic markers in several cancers, including gastric cancer. In this study, we globally assessed the transcriptomic differences of lncRNAs in gastric cancer using publicly available microarray data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and identified an oncogenetic lncRNA ZFAS1, which may promote gastric tumorigenesis. ZFAS1 has been found to be upregulated and function as oncogene in colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, but its expression pattern, biological function and underlying mechanism in gastric cancer is still undetermined. Here, we reported that ZFAS1 expression is also overexpressed in gastric cancer, and its increased level is associated with poor prognosis and shorter survival. Knockdown of ZFAS1 impaired gastric cancer cells proliferation and induced apoptosis in vitro, and inhibited tumorigenicity of gastric cancer cells in vivo. Mechanistically, RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down experiment showed that ZFAS1 could simultaneously interact with EZH2 and LSD1/CoREST to repress underlying targets KLF2 and NKD2 transcription. In addition, rescue experiments determined that ZFAS1 oncogenic function is partly dependent on repressing KLF2 and NKD2. Taken together, our findings illuminate how ZFAS1 over-expression confers an oncogenic function in gastric cancer.

Long noncoding RNA HOXA-AS2 promotes gastric cancer proliferation by epigenetically silencing P21/PLK3/DDIT3 expression.

Project description:Current evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may be an important class of functional regulators involved in human cancers development, including gastric cancer (GC). Here, we reported that HOXA cluster antisense RNA2 (HOXA-AS2), a 1048bp RNA, was upregulated in GC. Increased HOXA-AS2 expression in GC was associated with larger tumor size and higher clinical stage; patients with higher levels of HOXA-AS2 expression had a relatively poor prognosis. Further experiments revealed that HOXA-AS2 knockdown significantly inhibited GC cells proliferation by causing G1 arrest and promoting apoptosis, whereas HOXA-AS2 overexpression promoted cell growth. Furthermore, HOXA-AS2 could epigenetically repress the expression of P21, PLK3, and DDIT3 via binding with EZH2 (enhaner of zeste homolog 2), a key component of PRC2; ChIP assays demonstrated that EZH2 could directly bind to the promoter of P21, PLK3 and DDIT3, inducing H3K27 trimethylated. In conclusion, these data suggest that HOXA-AS2 could be an oncogene for GC partly through suppressing P21, PLK3, and DDIT3 expression; HOXA-AS2 may be served as a candidate prognostic biomarker and target for new therapies in human GC.

Long noncoding RNA TP73-AS1 accelerates the epithelial ovarian cancer via epigenetically repressing p21.

Project description:Evidence has indicated the important roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the human cancer biology, providing potential targets for cancer intervention. However, the expression profile and function of lncRNA TP73-AS1 in human epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remain to be investigated. In the EOC specimens and cell lines, TP73-AS1 was identified to be significantly up-regulated. EOC patients with high TP73-AS1 expression had poor survival rate. The gain and loss of functional assay uncovered that TP73-AS1 promoted the proliferation, invasion and reduced the apoptosis of EOC cells in vitro. And, the knockdown of TP73-AS1 inhibited the tumor growth in vivo. By using chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assay, we identified TP73-AS1 epigenetically repressed p21 via recruiting EZH2. In conclusion, this finding supports that TP73-AS1 promotes the EOC progression via epigenetically repressing p21, serving as a prognosis predictor for EOC patients.

Long intergenic non-coding RNA 00152 promotes tumor cell cycle progression by binding to EZH2 and repressing p15 and p21 in gastric cancer.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important regulatory roles in several human cancers. Integrated analysis revealed that expression of long intergenic non-coding RNA 152 (LINC00152) was significantly upregulated in gastric cancer (GC). Further analysis in a cohort of 97 GC patients revealed that LINC00152 expression was positively correlated with tumor invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, higher TNM stage, and poor survival. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that cell proliferation and cell cycle progression were increased in patients with high LINC00152 expression. In both GC cell lines and xenograft systems, LINC00152 overexpression facilitated GC cell proliferation by accelerating the cell cycle, whereas LINC00152 knockdown had the opposite effect. Moreover, by binding to enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), LINC00152 promotes GC tumor cell cycle progression by silencing the expression of p15 and p21. These findings suggest that LINC00152 may play contribute to the progression of GC and may be an effective therapeutic target.

Long noncoding RNA AFAP1-AS1 predicts a poor prognosis and regulates non-small cell lung cancer cell proliferation by epigenetically repressing p21 expression.

Project description:Mounting evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) could play a pivotal role in cancer biology. However, the role and molecular mechanism and global genes that were mediated by lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain largely unknown.Expression of AFAP1-AS1 was analyzed in 92 NSCLC tissues and cell lines by Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The effect of AFAP1-AS1 on proliferation was evaluated by function assays both in in vitro and in vivo. RNA-seq assays were performed after knockdown AFAP1-AS1. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) was performed to confirm the interaction between AFAP1-AS1 and EZH2. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was used to study the promoter region of p21.AFAP1-AS1 expression was increased in NSCLC tissues and was correlated with clinical outcomes of NSCLC. Further experiments revealed that inhibition of its expression in NSCLC cells resulted in diminished cell growth in vitro and in vivo. RNA-seq revealed that knockdown of AFAP1-AS1 could induce the expression of p21. Mechanistic investigations found that AFAP1-AS1 could interact with EZH2 and recruit EZH2 to the promoter regions of p21, thus epigenetically repressing p21 expression.Together, these results suggest that lncRNA AFAP1-AS1 may serve as a candidate prognostic biomarker and target for new therapies in human NSCLC.

Long noncoding RNA UCA1 induced by SP1 promotes cell proliferation via recruiting EZH2 and activating AKT pathway in gastric cancer.

Project description:Long noncoding RNA UCA1 has emerged as a novel regulator in cancer initiation and progression of various cancers. However, function and underlying mechanism of UCA1 in the progression of gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. In the present study, we report that UCA1 expressed highly in GC tissues and GC cells, which was partly induced by SP1. UCA1 promoted GC cell proliferation and G1/S transition in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, UCA1 exerted its function through interacting with EZH2, promoting direct interaction with cyclin D1 promoter to activate the translation of cyclin D1. Furthermore, AKT/GSK-3B/cyclin D1 axis was activated to upregulate cyclin D1 due to overexpression of UCA1. In addition, EZH2 and phosphorylated AKT induced by UCA1 could impact each other to form a positive feedback to promote cyclin D1 expression. This study demonstrated that UCA1 as a critical regulator involved in GC proliferation and cell cycle progression by promoting cyclin D1 expression, which indicates that it may be clinically a potential therapeutic target in GC.

Long noncoding RNA MAPKAPK5-AS1 promotes colorectal cancer proliferation by partly silencing p21 expression.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy in the world, and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays a critical role in carcinogenesis. Here, we report a novel lncRNA, MAPKAPK5-AS1, that acts as a critical oncogene in CRC. In addition, we attempted to explore the functions of MAPKAPK5-AS1 on tumor progression in vitro and in vivo. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of MAPKAPK5-AS1 in CRC tissues and cells. Expression of MAPKAPK5-AS1 was significantly upregulated in 50 CRC tissues, and increased expression of MAPKAPK5-AS1 was found to be associated with greater tumor size and advanced pathological stage in CRC patients. Knockdown of MAPKAPK5-AS1 significantly inhibited proliferation and caused apoptosis in CRC cells. We also found that p21 is a target of MAPKAPK5-AS1. In addition, we are the first to report that MAPKAPK5-AS1 plays a carcinogenic role in CRC. MAPKAPK5-AS1 is a novel prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic candidate for CRC cancer.

Long noncoding RNA PVT1 modulates hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and apoptosis by recruiting EZH2.

Project description:BackgroundWe aimed to figure out the molecular network of PVT1 and EZH2 on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells growth. We also explored the interaction between PVT1, EZH2, MDM2 and P53.MethodsMicroarray analysis was performed to screen for abnormally expressed genes in HCC tissues and PVT1 was identified as one gene significantly upregulated in HCC. CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry detected cell vitality, proliferation and apoptosis, respectively. RIP and RNA pull-down assays were employed to examine the connection between PVT1 and EZH2. The effect of PVT1 on the stability of EZH2 protein and the impact of EZH2 on MDM2 were detected by ELISA. Co-immunoprecipitation assay was used to evaluate the relationship between MDM2 and EZH2. Western blot detected the expression of EZH2, MDM2 and P53.ResultsUp-regulated PVT1 was detected in HCC. Knockdown of PVT1 inhibited HCC cell propagation and promoted apoptotic cells. PVT1 could improve EZH2 protein stability by binding to EZH2 protein but have no significant impact on EZH2 mRNA expression. EZH2 protein stabilized MDM2 protein expression by binding to MDM2 protein. PVT1 enhanced the protein expression of EZH2 and MDM2 as well as inhibited P53 protein expression.ConclusionsPVT1 promoted HCC cell propagation and inhibited apoptotic cells by recruiting EZH2, stabilizing MDM2 protein expression and restraining P53 expression.

Long noncoding RNA-EBIC promotes tumor cell invasion by binding to EZH2 and repressing E-cadherin in cervical cancer.

Project description:In recent years, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to play key roles in tumorgenesis. However, the contributions of lncRNAs to cervical cancer (CC) remain largely unknown. In this study, differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in cervical cancer and paired peritumoral tissues were detected by transcriptome microarray analysis. We found 708 probe sets of lncRNAs increased and 836 probe sets decreased in CC tissues, while 1288 mRNA differential probe sets increased and 901 mRNA probe sets decreased. The results were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Then, we found a specific differentially expressed lncRNA can physically bind to enhancer of zeste homolog2 (EZH2) by using RNA immunoprecipitation. We termed it as EZH2-binding lncRNA in cervical cancer [lncRNA-EBIC]. Wound healing assays and Matrigel invasion assays were used to determine the function of this lncRNA by silencing it. We observed that the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells in vitro were inhibited upon suppression of lncRNA-EBIC by siRNA. We also found that the association between lncRNA-EBIC and EZH2 was required for the repression of E-cadherin, which was a key molecular in the metastasis of cervical cancer. Conclusion: These results demonstrated that lncRNA-EBIC was an oncogenic lncRNA, which could promote tumor cell invasion in CC by binding to EZH2 and inhibiting E-cadherin expression.
