Down-regulated microRNA-30b-3p inhibits proliferation, invasion and migration of glioma cells via inactivation of the AKT signaling pathway by up-regulating RECK.

ABSTRACT: microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to affect various cancers, and expression of numerous miRNAs is revealed in glioma. However, the role of microRNA-30b-3p (miR-30b-3p) in glioma remains elusive. Therefore, the present study aims to explore the specific mechanism by which miR-30b-3p influence the development of glioma in relation to the AKT signaling pathway. First, glioma cell lines were collected with miR-30b-3p and reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with kazal motifs (RECK) expression measured. The functional role of miR-30b-3p and RECK in glioma was determined via gain- and loss-of-function approaches. Subsequently, the expression of invasion- and migration-related factors (MMP-2 and MMP-9) and the AKT signaling pathway-related factors (AKT, p-AKT and PI3K-p85) was detected. Moreover, in vivo experiments were also conducted to investigate how miR-30b-3p influences in vivo tumorigenesis. The results showed that miR-30b-3p was up-regulated and RECK was down-regulated in glioma. RECK was a target gene of miR-30b-3p. Decreased miR-30b-3p and overexpressed RECK led to decreased expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and p-AKT. Overexpressed RECK and LY294002 could decrease p-AKT and PI3K-p85 expression accompanied with unchanged expression of total protein of AKT. Additionally, proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma cells and tumor formation in nude mice were repressed owing to reduced expression of miR-30b-3p or elevated expression of RECK. In summary, miR-30b-3p inhibition suppresses metastasis of glioma cells by inactivating the AKT signaling pathway via RECK up-regulation, providing a new target for glioma treatment.

Project description:BackgroundThe present study is aimed at exploring the specific expression of miR-193a-3p and the mechanism underlying miR-193a-3p-mediated mesenchymal transition (MT), invasion, and migration in glioma.MethodsThe gene expression profile datasets of GSE39486 and GSE25676 were downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology (NCBI). Data regarding the expression of miR-193a-3p and survival curves were derived from Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA). Online websites including miRWalk, DIANA, and starbase were employed to predict the target genes for miR-193a-3p. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed by the Omicsbean online software. Module analysis of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks was performed by the plug-in Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE), and the degrees of genes were calculated by CytoHubba plug-in of Cytoscape. Survival curves were based on the Gene Expression Profile Interaction Analysis (GEPIA). Transwell, wound healing, and Western blot experiments were performed to investigate the effects of miR-193a-3p and beta-transducin repeat containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (BTRC) on the invasion, migration, and MT of glioma.ResultsmiR-193a-3p was highly expressed in glioma tissues and significantly correlated with poor survival in patients with glioma. The target genes for miR-193a-3p were involved in many cancer-related signaling pathways. The PPI showed 11 genes with both high degrees and MCODE scores in the network. Survival analysis demonstrated that the expression of BTRC was significantly correlated with the prognosis of patients with glioma. The results from the transwell, wound healing, and Western blot analyses suggested that miR-193a-3p promoted the invasion, migration, and MT of glioma cells, which could be reversed by BTRC.ConclusionsmiR-193a-3p was upregulated in patients with glioma and could affect the invasion, migration, and MT of glioma by regulating BTRC.

Project description:Background:Glioma is the most commonly diagnosed primary brain tumor. Dysregulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is associated with initiation and development of various cancer types including glioma. Methods:The relative expression of lncRNA was analyzed by real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell counting kit (CCK-8) and flow cytometry analysis were applied to explore the role of prostate androgen-regulated transcript 1 (PART1) in glioma cell lines. Luciferase reporter assay, Western blotting and RT-qPCR were used to investigate the association between PART1, miR-190a-3p and phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) in glioma cell lines. Results:In the present study, we elucidated a pivotal role and molecular mechanism of lncRNA PART1 in glioma cell lines. It was found that PART1 was significantly downregulated in glioma tissues compared to normal tissues according to TCGA data and our RT-qPCR results. The cell-based assays showed that PART1 suppressed cell proliferation and triggered cell apoptosis in glioma cell lines. PART1 inactivated PI3K/AKT cascade in glioma cell lines. Transfection of constitutively activated AKT (Myr-AKT) reversed PART1 induced cell apoptosis and cell growth arrest. The bioinformatic analysis suggested that miR-190a-3p might bind to PART1. In the dual luciferase reporter assay, we validated that PART1 directly bound to miR-190a-3p in glioma cell lines. Furthermore, there was a reciprocal repression between PART1 and miR-190-3p. In addition, PART1 upregulated PTEN and inactivated PI3K/AKT pathway in glioma cell lines. Moreover, silencing of PTEN reversed PART1 overexpression induced cell growth arrest and apoptosis. In glioma tissues, the Pearson Correlation analysis showed that there was a strong-positive correlation between PART1 level and PTEN mRNA level. Conclusion:Taken together, the current study revealed a PART1/miR-190a-3p/PTEN/PI3K/AKT axis in glioma and provided novel insights for understanding the complex lncRNA-miRNA network in glioma.
