LncRNA XIST promotes extracellular matrix synthesis, proliferation and migration by targeting miR-29b-3p/COL1A1 in human skin fibroblasts after thermal injury.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to be associated with dermis process during burn wound healing. This study aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) in human skin fibroblasts (HSF) and extracellular matrix (ECM) as well as the regulatory network of XIST/microRNA-29b-3p (miR-29b-3p)/collagen 1 alpha 1 (COL1A1). METHODS:The wound samples were collected from 25 patients with deep partial thickness burn at day 5 after burn. The thermal injured model was established using HSF cells. The expressions of XIST, miR-29b-3p and COL1A1 were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot. ECM synthesis, cell proliferation and migration were detected by western blot, cell counting kit-8 and trans-well assays, respectively. The interaction between miR-29b-3p and XIST or COL1A1 was explored by bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS:The expressions of XIST and COL1A1 were enhanced but miR-29b-3p expression was decreased after thermal injury. XIST overexpression promoted ECM synthesis, cell proliferation and migration in thermal injured HSF cells. However, XIST knockdown played an opposite effect. miR-29b-3p overexpression inhibited ECM synthesis, cell proliferation and migration, which was reversed by XIST. COL1A1 silence suppressed ECM synthesis, cell proliferation and migration by miR-29b-3p targeting. Moreover, COL1A1 up-regulation weakened the effect of XIST silence on ECM synthesis and HSF cell function. CONCLUSION:XIST promoted ECM synthesis, cell proliferation and migration by sponging miR-29b-3p and targeting COL1A1 in HSF cells after thermal injury, indicating the promoting role of XIST in wound healing.

Project description:IntroductionMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules that regulate genetic expression and are also vital for tumor initiation and development. MiR-29b-3p was found to be involved in regulating various biological processes of tumors, including tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis inhibition; however, the biofunction and molecule-level mechanisms of miR-29b-3p inpapillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remain unclear.MethodsThe expression of miR-29b-3p in PTC samples was tested via qRT-PCR. Cellular proliferation was analyzed by CCK-8 and EdU assays, and cellular migratory and invasive abilities were assessed utilizing wound-healing and Transwell assays. In addition, protein expressions of COL1A1, COL5A1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Snail, and Vimentin were identified via Western blot (WB) assay. Bioinformatics, qRT-PCR, WB, and dual luciferase reporter assays were completed to identify whether miR-29b-3p targeted COL1A1 and COL5A1. In addition, our team explored the treatment effects of miR-29b-3p on a murine heterograft model.ResultsOur findings revealed that miR-29b-3p proved much more regulated downward in PTC tissue specimens than in adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Meanwhile, decreased expression of miR-29b-3p was strongly related to the TNM stage of PTC patients (p<0.001), while overexpression of miR-29b-3p in PTC cells suppressed cellular migration, invasion, proliferation, and EMT. Conversely, silencing miR-29b-3p yielded the opposite effect. COL1A1 and COL5A1 were affirmed as the target of miR-29b-3p. Additionally, the COL1A1 and COL5A1 were highly expressed in PTC tumor samples than in contrast to neighboring healthy samples. Functional assays revealed that overexpression of COL1A1 or COL5A1 reversed the suppressive role of miR-29b-3p in migration, invasion, and EMT of PTC cells. Finally, miR-29b-3p agomir treatment dramatically inhibited Xenograft tumor growth in the animal model.ConclusionsThese findings document that miR-29b-3p inhibited PTC cells invasion and metastasis by targeting COL1A1 and COL5A1; this study also sparks new ideas for risk assessment and miRNA replacement therapy in PTC.

Project description:Centromere coiled-coil protein 110 (CCP110) plays a role in the development of several types of cancer; however, its regulatory mechanism and role in endometrial cancer is unclear. The present study revealed that CCP110 is regulated by a signaling pathway involving microRNA (miR/miRNA)-129-2-3p and the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) X-inactive-specific transcript (XIST), and plays a role in controlling the proliferation, migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells. CCP110 was upregulated in human endometrial cancer tissues, as revealed by immunohistochemistry, and high expression of the protein was related to reduced overall survival of the patients. Genetic knockdown of CCP110 by small interfering RNA promoted apoptosis and suppressed the proliferation, migration, invasion and colony formation of endometrial cancer cells significantly in the endometrial cancer Ishikawa and HEC-1B cell lines, as assessed by flow cytometry, and Cell Counting Kit-8, Transwell and colony formation assays. A bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay revealed that CCP110 is a target of miR-129-2-3p. Overexpression of miR-129-2-3p mimic fragments inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells significantly, while co-overexpression of CCP110 counteracted these inhibitory effects. The expression level of the lncRNA XIST was upregulated significantly in endometrial cancer tissues, as assessed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR assay, while that of miR-129-2-3p was downregulated significantly. A bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay showed that XIST could inhibit miR-129-2-3p via a miRNA sponge effect. Furthermore, co-overexpression of XIST antagonized the inhibitory effect of the miR-129-2-3p mimic on the luciferase reporter gene signal and protein expression of CCP110. Co-overexpression of XIST also abolished the inhibitory effect of the miR-129-2-3p mimic on the proliferation, migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells. Overall, these data identified a novel regulatory mechanism of CCP110 involving XIST and miR-129-2-3p, which affected the development of endometrial carcinoma. CCP110, XIST and miR-129-2-3p could represent novel targets for the clinical treatment of endometrial cancer.
