Reciprocal regulatory mechanism between miR-214-3p and FGFR1 in FGFR1-amplified lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNA (miRNA) and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) dysregulation are considered to play an important role in tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. However, the regulatory mechanism between miRNAs and FGFR1 in lung cancer remains unclear and extremely critical. miR-214-3p was sharply decreased and showed a significantly negative correlation with FGFR1 in lung cancer patients (n?=?30). Luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-214-3p could downregulate FGFR1 by directly targeting 3'-untranslated region (UTR). miR-214-3p inhibited the processes of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and Wnt/MAPK/AKT (Wnt/mitogen-activated protein kinase/AKT) signaling pathway by targeting FGFR1. Moreover, miR-214-3p not only established a negative feedback regulation loop with FGFR1 through ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) but also developed a synergism with FGFR1 inhibitor AZD4547. In conclusion, our study demonstrated the regulatory mechanism between miR-214-3p and FGFR1 in lung cancer. miR-214-3p acts as a vital target in FGFR1-amplified lung cancer by forming a miR-214-3p-FGFR1-Wnt/MAPK/AKT signaling pathway network. Co-targeting miR-214-3p and FGFR1 could provide greater benefits to patients with FGFR1-amplified lung cancer.

Project description:BACKGROUND:MicroRNAs have an important role in diverse biological processes including tumorigenesis. MiR-223 has been reported to be deregulated in several human cancer types. However, its biological role has not been functionally characterized in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). The following study investigates the role of miR-223-3p in LSCC growth and metastasis and its underlying mechanism. METHODS:MicroRNA profiling analyses were conducted to determine differential miRNAs expression levels in LSCC tumor tissues that successfully formed xenografts in immunocompromised mice (XG) and failed tumor tissues (no-XG). RT-PCR and in situ hybridization (ISH) was performed to evaluate the expression of miR-223-3p in 12 paired adjacent normal tissues and LSCC specimens. Cell proliferation and migration were assessed by CCK-8, colony formation and Transwell assay, respectively. The role of miR-223-3p in LSCC tumorigenesis was examined using xenograft nude models. Bioinformatics analysis, Dual-luciferase reporter assays, Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay and Western blot analysis were used to identify the direct target of miR-223-3p and its interactions. RESULTS:MiR-223-3p was downregulated in LSCC tissues that successfully formed xenografts (XG) compared with tumor tissues that failed (no-XG), which was also significantly reduced in LSCC tissues compared with the adjacent normal tissues. Gain- and loss-of function experiments showed that miR-223-3p inhibited proliferation and migration in vitro. More importantly, miR-223-3p overexpression greatly suppressed tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, we found that mutant p53 bound to the promoter region of miR-223 and reduced its transcription. Meanwhile, p53 is a direct target of miR-223-3p. Thus, miR-223-3p regulated mutant p53 expression in a feedback loop that inhibited cell proliferation and migration. CONCLUSIONS:Our study identified miR-223-3p, as a tumor suppressor gene, markedly inhibited cell proliferation and migration via miR-223-3p-mutant p53 feedback loop, which suggested miR-223-3p might be a new therapeutic target in LSCC bearing p53 mutations.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Inflammatory smooth muscle cells (iSMCs) generated from adventitial stem/progenitor cells (AdSPCs) have been recognised as a new player in cardiovascular disease, and microRNA-214-3p (miR-214-3p) has been implicated in mature vascular SMC functions and neointimal hyperplasia. Here, we attempted to elucidate the functional involvements of miR-214-3p in iSMC differentiation from AdSPCs and unravel the therapeutic potential of miR-214-3p signalling in AdSPCs for injury-induced neointimal hyperplasia. METHODS:The role of miR-214-3p in iSMC differentiation from AdSPCs was evaluated by multiple biochemistry assays. The target of miR-214-3p was identified through binding site mutation and reporter activity analysis. A murine model of injury-induced arterial remodelling and stem cell transplantation was conducted to study the therapeutic potential of miR-214-3p. RT-qPCR analysis was performed to examine the gene expression in healthy and diseased human arteries. RESULTS:miR-214-3p prevented iSMC differentiation/generation from AdSPCs by restoring sonic hedgehog-glioma-associated oncogene 1 (Shh-GLI1) signalling. Suppressor of fused (Sufu) was identified as a functional target of miR-214-3p during iSMC generation from AdSPCs. Mechanistic studies revealed that miR-214-3p over-expression or Sufu inhibition can promote nuclear accumulation of GLI1 protein in AdSPCs, and the consensus sequence (GACCACCCA) for GLI1 binding within smooth muscle alpha-actin (SM?A) and serum response factor (SRF) gene promoters is required for their respective regulation by miR-214-3p and Sufu. Additionally, Sufu upregulates multiple inflammatory gene expression (IFN?, IL-6, MCP-1 and S100A4) in iSMCs. In vivo, transfection of miR-214-3p into the injured vessels resulted in the decreased expression level of Sufu, reduced iSMC generation and inhibited neointimal hyperplasia. Importantly, perivascular transplantation of AdSPCs increased neointimal hyperplasia, whereas transplantation of AdSPCs over-expressing miR-214-3p prevented this. Finally, decreased expression of miR-214-3p but increased expression of Sufu was observed in diseased human arteries. CONCLUSIONS:We present a previously unexplored role for miR-214-3p in iSMC differentiation and neointima iSMC hyperplasia and provide new insights into the therapeutic effects of miR-214-3p in vascular disease.
