MiR-374a-5p: A New Target for Diagnosis and Drug Resistance Therapy in Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Chemoresistance is one of the causes associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of chemoresistance. Exosome-mediated delivery of anti-cancer molecules and drugs have emerged as a new approach for cancer therapy. We first examined the expression of miR-374a-5p in gastric cancer serum by qRT-PCR and explored the clinicopathological parameters. We then performed in vitro cell and molecular studies, including CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, and western blot, to determine the roles of miR-374a-5p in gastric cancer chemoresistance and identified its downstream target by luciferase reporter assay. We also used in vivo animal studies to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of miR-374a-5p inhibitor and exosome-mediated delivery of miR-374a-5p inhibitor in gastric cancer. miR-374a-5p expression level was elevated in gastric cancer serum, and its upregulation predicted poor prognosis. miR-374a-5p overexpression promoted while miR-374a-5p knockdown inhibited gastric cancer chemoresistance in vitro and in vivo. miR-374a-5p bound to Neurod1 to antagonize its effect on chemoresistance. Exosome-mediated delivery of miR-374a-5p inhibitor could increase Neurod1 expression, promote cell apoptosis, and suppress chemoresistance. miR-374a-5p had a promoting role in gastric cancer chemoresistance, which would provide a novel biomarker for gastric cancer diagnosis and prognosis and offer a potential target for gastric cancer drug resistance therapy.

Project description:Cancer-associated gene (CAGE), a cancer/testis antigen, has been known to promote anticancer drug resistance. Since the underlying mechanisms of CAGE-promoted anticancer drug resistance are poorly understood, we established Anticancer drug-resistant gastric cancer cells (AGS R ) to better elucidate possible mechanisms. AGS R showed an increased expression level of CAGE and autophagic flux compared with anticancer drug-sensitive parental gastric cancer cells (AGS cells). AGS R cells showed higher invasion potential, growth rate, tumor spheroid formation, and angiogenic potential than AGS cells. CAGE exerted effects on the response to anticancer drugs and autophagic flux. CAGE was shown to bind to Beclin1, a mediator of autophagy. Overexpression of CAGE increased autophagic flux and invasion potential but inhibited the cleavage of PARP in response to anticancer drugs in CAGE CRISPR-Cas9 cell lines. TargetScan analysis was utilized to predict the binding of miR-302b-5p to the promoter sequences of CAGE, and the results show that miR-302b-5p directly regulated CAGE expression as illustrated by luciferase activity. MiR-302b-5p regulated autophagic flux and the response to anticancer drugs. CAGE was shown to bind the promoter sequences of miR-302b-5p. The culture medium of AGS R cells increased CAGE expression and autophagic flux in AGS cells. ImmunoEM showed CAGE was present in the exosomes of AGS R cells; exosomes of AGS R cells and human recombinant CAGE protein increased CAGE expression, autophagic flux, and resistance to anticancer drugs in AGS cells. MicroRNA array revealed miR-181b-5p as a potential negative regulator of CAGE. MiR-181b-5p inhibitor increased the expression of CAGE and autophagic flux in addition to preventing anticancer drugs from cleaving poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in AGS cells. TargetScan analysis predicted sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (SIPR1) as a potential target for miR-181b-5p. CAGE showed binding to the promoter sequences of S1PR1. The downregulation or inhibition of S1PR1 led to decreased autophagic flux but enhanced the sensitivity to anticancer drugs in AGS R cells. This study presents a novel role of the CAGE-miR-181b-5p-S1PR1 axis in anticancer drug resistance and autophagy.
