Silencing H19 regulated proliferation, invasion, and autophagy in the placenta by targeting miR-18a-5p.

ABSTRACT: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a serious pregnancy complication associated with increased perinatal mortality and morbidity. It may lead to neurodevelopmental impairment and adulthood onset disorders. Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were found to be associated with the pathogenesis of FGR. Here we report that the lncRNAH19 is significantly decreased in placentae from pregnancies with FGR. Downregulation of H19 leads to reduced proliferation and invasion of extravillous trophoblast cells. This is identified with reduced trophoblast invasion, which has been discovered in FGR. Autophagy is exaggerated in FGR. Downregulation of H19 promotes autophagy via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and MAPK/ERK/mTOR pathways of extravillous trophoblast cells in FGR. We also found that the expression level of microRNAs miR-18a-5p was negatively correlated with that of H19. H19 can act as an endogenous sponge by directly binding to miR-18a-5p, which targets IRF2. The expression of miR-18a-5p was upregulated, but IRF2 expression was downregulated after the H19 knockdown. In conclusion, our study revealed that H19 downexpressed could inhibit proliferation and invasion, and promote autophagy by targeting miR-18a-5pin HTR8 and JEG3 cells. We propose that aberrant regulation of H19/miR-18a-5p-mediated regulatory pathway may contribute to the molecular mechanism of FGR. We indicated that H19 may be a potential predictive, diagnostic, and therapeutic modality for FGR.

Project description:Purpose:Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant disease of digestive tract. Clinically, radiation therapy is widely applied in treating GC, while with undesirable outcome due to tumor re-proliferation and recurrence and metastasis after radiation. Therefore, it is crucial to explore potential molecular mechanisms to develop therapeutic strategies. The present study found that miR-26a-5p has low expression in GC patients and could regulate Wnt5a to inhibit tumor growth, which was a potential therapeutic target for GC. To explore the expression and related mechanism of miR-26a-5p and Wnt5a in GC. Patients and Methods:MiR-26a-5p and Wnt5a were extracted from the transcriptome data of GC downloaded from TCGA database for analysis. The expression levels of miR-26a-5p and Wnt5a in patients' tissues and serum were detected by qRT-PCR, and their correlation with patients' pathological data and survival was analyzed. In addition, miR-26a-5p and Wnt5a overexpression and inhibition vectors were transfected into cells to observe the effects on the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of GC cells. The relationship between miR-26a-5p and Wnt5a was analyzed by dual luciferase report. Results:The database and clinical samples showed that miR-26a-5p level was low while Wnt5a was high in GC. MiR-26a-5p level decreased in patients with stage III+IV, lymphatic metastasis and tumor ?3cm, and Wnt5a was contrary to that of the miR-26a-5p, with diagnostic value. Overexpressed miR-26a-5p and inhibited Wnt5a enhanced apoptosis, decreased proliferation and invasion, reduced Bcl-2 and ?-catenin proteins, and elevated Caspase 3, E-cadherin and Bax proteins, while inhibited miR-26a-5p and over-expressed Wnt5a showed the opposite results. Dual luciferase report confirmed that miR-26a-5p targeted to regulate Wnt5a, and rescue experiments found that these effects could be counteracted by reducing miR-26a-5p level. Conclusion:Overexpressed miR-26a-5p can inhibit Wnt5a expression, promote cell apoptosis, and suppress cell proliferation and invasion in GC.
