Long non-coding RNA TUG1 mediates 5-fluorouracil resistance by acting as a ceRNA of miR-197-3p in colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: One major reason for the failure of advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment is the occurrence of chemoresistance to fluoropyrimidine (Fu)-based chemotherapy. Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in cancerous processes as either oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Here, we observed lncRNA TUG1 was associated to the 5-Fu resistance in colorectal cancer. Firstly, quantitative analysis indicated that TUG1 was significantly increased in recurrence CRC patient samples. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that high TUG1 expression in CRC tissues was significantly associated with a higher rate of disease progression. TUG1 knockdown re-sensitized the 5-Fu resistance in colorectal cancer cells, which were 5-Fu-resistant colorectal cell line. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis showed that miR-197-3p could directly bind to TUG1 suggesting TUG1 might work as a ceRNA to sponge miR-197-3p. Extensively, our study also showed that TYMS was the direct target of miR-197-3p in CRC cells. Taken together, our study suggests that TUG1 mediates 5-Fu resistance in CRC via miR-197-3p/TYMS axis.

Project description:BackgroundLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have critical regulatory functions in biological and pathological activities during osteosarcoma progression. It is important to elucidate the expression pattern and reveal the underlying mechanisms of the newly identified lncRNAs.MethodsHerein, we screened the differentially expressed lncRNAs in osteosarcoma tumors and cell lines using lncRNA microarray. The candidate lncRNA was further verified by qRT-PCR, and the association of gene expression with clinicopathological features was evaluated by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. The targeting miRNA was identified using starBase analysis, and the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was established by STRING. Overexpression and silence of RNA were detected by qRT-PCR. Osteosarcoma cell proliferation was measured with CCK-8 assay, and the migration and invasion were evaluated with Transwell assay. Colony formation assay was observed. Flow cytometry evaluated the cell cycle. Western blot was performed to detect the mitotic markers and apoptosis-related proteins. A nude mouse tumor formation experiment was used to evaluate osteosarcoma progression in vivo. Cooverexpressing miR-34b-3p with RAD51 reversed the miR-34b-3p-induced changes in proliferation, the cell cycle, the expression of H2A.X, and that of apoptosis-related proteins.ResultsHCG9 was identified as osteosarcoma-associated lncRNA. Osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines expressed higher levels of HCG9 as compared to normal tissues and osteoblasts, and high expression of HCG9 was further proved to be related to metastasis and the grade of osteosarcoma in clinical cases. Knockdown of HCG9 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. miR-34b-3p was identified as the target of HCG9, and RAD51 acted as a potential target of miR-34b-3p. Cooverexpressing miR-34b-3p with HCG9 partially suppressed the HCG9-stimulated proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells in vitro and delayed the tumor progression in vivo.ConclusionWe discovered that lncRNA HCG9 promoted the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells via suppressing miR-34b-3p. Our study provides novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma treatment.
