SSTR5?AS1 functions as a ceRNA to regulate CA2 by sponging miR?15b?5p for the development and prognosis of HBV?related hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Long non?coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in the development and progression of cancer. However, the mechanisms of lncRNAs in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection?induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. The study aimed to reveal the roles of lncRNAs for HBV?HCC based on the hypothesis of competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA). The lncRNA (GSE27462), miRNA (GSE76903) and mRNA (GSE121248) expression profiles were collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), genes (DEGs) and miRNAs (DEMs) were identified using the LIMMA or EdgeR package, respectively. The ceRNA network was constructed based on interaction pairs between miRNAs and mRNAs/lncRNAs. The functions of DEGs in the ceRNA network were predicted using the DAVID database, which was overlapped with the known HCC pathways of Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) to construct the HCC?related ceRNA network. The prognosis values [overall survival, (OS); recurrence?free survival (RFS)] of genes were validated using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data with Cox regression analysis. The present study screened 38 DELs, 127 DEMs and 721 DEGs. A ceRNA network was constructed among 17 DELs, 12 DEMs and 173 DEGs, including the FAM138B?hsa?miR?30c?CCNE2/RRM2 and SSTR5?AS1?hsa?miR?15b?5p?CA2 ceRNA axes. Function enrichment analysis revealed the genes in the ceRNA network that participated in the p53 signaling pathway [cyclin E2 (CCNE2), ribonucleotide reductase M2 subunit (RRM2)] and nitrogen metabolism [carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2)], which were also included in the pathways of the CTD. Univariate Cox regression analysis revealed that six RNAs (2 DELs: FAM138B, SSTR5?AS1; 2 DEMs: hsa?miR?149, hsa?miR?7; 2 DEGs: CCNE2, RRM2) were significantly associated with OS; while seven RNAs (1 DEL: LINC00284; 3 DEMs: hsa?miR?7, hsa?miR?15b, hsa?miR?30c?2; and 3 DEGs: RRM2, CCNE2, CA2) were significantly associated with RFS. In conclusion, FAM138B?hsa?miR?30c?CCNE2/RRM2 and the SSTR5?AS1?hsa?miR?15b?5p?CA2 ceRNA axes may be important mechanisms for HBV?related HCC.

Project description:Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are essential for the progression of tumors, including cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). The present study aimed to examine the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network in CSCC. Differentially expressed genes in CSCC were analyzed using the GSE66359 microarray data set, and the upstream miRNAs and lncRNAs were predicted using online database analysis (TargetScan 7.1, mirDIP 4.1, miRSearch V3.0, miRDB and RNA22 2.0) and were verified in clinical tissues. RNA pull‑down and dual luciferase reporter gene assays were used to verify the targeting relationships among lncRNA human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen complex P5 (HCP5), miR‑138‑5p and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2). Cell lines with a high and low HCP5 expression were screened, and a pcDNA‑3.1‑HCP5 overexpression vector, small interfering RNA against HCP5, miR‑138‑5p mimics and miR‑138‑5p inhibitors were transfected into the CSCC cells. Cell viability, invasion, migration, apoptotic rate and autophagy were evaluated. The effects of HCP5 on autophagy and apoptosis of CSCC cells were verified in vivo using Ki67 and TUNEL staining. EZH2 was demonstrated to be upregulated in CSCC cells. miR‑138‑5p target sequences were identified in HCP5 and EZH2. HCP5 was revealed to function as a putative ceRNA of miR‑138‑5p to positively regulate EZH2, and EZH2 was shown to regulate autophagy and apoptosis of CSCC cells through the STAT3/VEGFR2 pathway. HCP5 overexpression decreased miR‑138‑5p levels, increased EZH2 levels and promoted cell malignant behaviors and autophagy but decreased the apoptosis rate. These trends were opposite when HCP5 was silenced. In conclusion, HCP5 may competitively bind to miR‑138‑5p to regulate EZH2 in CSCC cells, promoting autophagy and reducing apoptosis through the STAT3/VEGFR2 pathway. This study may provide a new perspective for understanding the molecular mechanism and treatment of CSCC.
