LINC00459 sponging miR-218 to elevate DKK3 inhibits proliferation and invasion in melanoma.

ABSTRACT: The lncRNA biomarkers in melanoma remain to be further explored. The lncRNAs with different expression levels in melanoma tissue were identified by microarray analysis. To investigate the biological functions of target lncRNA, several in-vivo and in-vitro studies were performed. Potential mechanisms of competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) were predicted by using bioinformatics analysis and explored by western blot assay, fluorescence in situ hybridization assay, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) array, RNA pull-down analysis, AGO2-RIP assay, and dual-luciferase reporter assay. The results demonstrated decreased LINC00459 in melanoma cell lines and tissues. According to the in-vitro and in-vivo experiments, up-regulated LINC00459 had inhibitory effect on cell proliferation and invasion. Bioinformatics analyses suggested that miR-218 could be a direct target of LINC00459. In addition, miR-218 was proved to be able to directly target the dickkopf-related protein 3 (DKK3) gene. In conclusion, our analysis suggested that the LINC00459 could sponge miR-218 and increase the expression of DKK3 gene, thus inhibiting the invasion and proliferation of melanoma cells, which indicated that the LINC00459 could be an effective biomarker for melanoma and its potential as the therapeutic target.

Circ_0001367 inhibits glioma proliferation, migration and invasion by sponging miR-431 and thus regulating NRXN3.

Project description:Many studies have reported that circular RNAs play a vital role in the malignant progression of human cancers. However, the role and underlying mechanism of circRNAs in the development of gliomas have not been fully clarified. In this study, we found that circ_0001367 was downregulated in glioma tissues and showed a close correlation with glioma patient survival. Functional assays demonstrated that upregulation of circ_0001367 could suppress the proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma cells in vitro and inhibit glioma growth in vivo. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis, luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay indicated that circ_0001367 can serve as a sponge for miR-431 and that miR-431 acts as an oncogene by regulating neurexin 3 (NRXN3). In addition, rescue experiments verified that circ_0001367 could regulate both the expression and function of NRXN3 in a miR-431-dependent manner. In conclusion, circ_0001367 functions as an suppressor in glioma by targeting the miR-431/NRXN3 axis and may be a promising therapeutic target against gliomas.

MiR-144 Inhibits Uveal Melanoma Cell Proliferation and Invasion by Regulating c-Met Expression.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group endogenous small non-coding RNAs that inhibit protein translation through binding to specific target mRNAs. Recent studies have demonstrated that miRNAs are implicated in the development of cancer. However, the role of miR-144 in uveal melanoma metastasis remains largely unknown. MiR-144 was downregulated in both uveal melanoma cells and tissues. Transfection of miR-144 mimic into uveal melanoma cells led to a decrease in cell growth and invasion. After identification of two putative miR-144 binding sites within the 3' UTR of the human c-Met mRNA, miR-144 was proved to inhibit the luciferase activity inMUM-2B cells with a luciferase reporter construct containing the binding sites. In addition, the expression of c-Met protein was inhibited by miR-144. Furthermore, c-Met-mediated cell proliferation and invasion were inhibited by restoration of miR-144 in uveal melanoma cells. In conclusion, miR-144 acts as a tumor suppressor in uveal melanoma, through inhibiting cell proliferation and migration. miR-144 might serve as a potential therapeutic target in uveal melanoma patients.

Circular RNA_LARP4 inhibits cell proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer by sponging miR-424-5p and regulating LATS1 expression.

Project description:BackgroundNon-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been shown to regulate gene expression involved in tumor progression of multiple malignancies. Our previous studies indicated that large tumor suppressor kinase 1 (LATS1), a core part of Hippo signaling pathway, functions as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer (GC). But, the underlying molecular mechanisms by which ncRNAs modulate LATS1 expression in GC remain undetermined.MethodsThe correlation of LATS1 and has-miR-424-5p (miR-424) expression with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of GC patients was analyzed by TCGA RNA-sequencing data. A novel circular RNA_LARP4 (circLARP4) was identified to sponge miR-424 by circRNA expression profile and bioinformatic analysis. The binding site between miR-424 and LATS1 or circLARP4 was verified using dual luciferase assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. The expression and localization of circLARP4 in GC tissues were investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). MTT, colony formation, Transwell and EdU assays were performed to assess the effects of miR-424 or circLARP4 on cell proliferation and invasion.ResultsIncreased miR-424 expression or decreased LATS1 expression was associated with pathological stage and unfavorable prognosis of GC patients. Ectopic expression of miR-424 promoted proliferation and invasion of GC cells by targeting LATS1 gene. Furthermore, circLARP4 was mainly localized in the cytoplasm and inhibited biological behaviors of GC cells by sponging miR-424. The expression of circLARP4 was downregulated in GC tissues and represented an independent prognostic factor for overall survival of GC patients.ConclusioncircLARP4 may act as a novel tumor suppressive factor and a potential biomarker in GC.

miR-218 suppresses gastric cancer cell proliferation and invasion via regulation of angiopoietin-2.

Project description:Novel targeted therapies need to be developed for gastric cancer, the third most common cancer type and the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality in China. Previous studies indicate that angiopoietin (Ang)-2 serves a role in the proliferation, migration, invasion and adhesion of malignant cells. The present study identified, using functional studies, that exogenous expression of miR-218 increased migration of NCI-87 and HGC-27 gastric cancer cells, which coincided with a reduction in the expression of Ang-2. In addition, intratumoral delivery of miR-218 inhibited proliferation and angiogenesis of gastric cancer cells in vivo, with a corresponding decreased in Ang-2 expression. These results indicate that miR-218 serves an important role in gastric cancer tumorigenesis through regulating the expression of Ang-2. Therefore, components of miR-218/Ang-2 signaling could provide novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of gastric cancer.

MiR-218 inhibits invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer by targeting the Robo1 receptor.

Project description:MicroRNAs play key roles in tumor metastasis. Here, we describe the regulation and function of miR-218 in gastric cancer (GC) metastasis. miR-218 expression is decreased along with the expression of one of its host genes, Slit3 in metastatic GC. However, Robo1, one of several Slit receptors, is negatively regulated by miR-218, thus establishing a negative feedback loop. Decreased miR-218 levels eliminate Robo1 repression, which activates the Slit-Robo1 pathway through the interaction between Robo1 and Slit2, thus triggering tumor metastasis. The restoration of miR-218 suppresses Robo1 expression and inhibits tumor cell invasion and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our results describe a Slit-miR-218-Robo1 regulatory circuit whose disruption may contribute to GC metastasis. Targeting miR-218 may provide a strategy for blocking tumor metastasis.

Linc00961 inhibits the proliferation and invasion of skin melanoma by targeting the miR‑367/PTEN axis.

Project description:Long intergenic noncoding RNA 00961 (Linc00961) has been identified as a tumor suppressor in various types of cancer. However, the critical roles of Linc00961 in the carcinogenesis and progression of skin melanoma (SM) are yet to be fully elucidated. The present study revealed via reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis that Linc00961 was downregulated in the tissues of patients with SM compared with benign nevi, and in A375, A2058 and SK‑MEL‑28 cell lines compared with human melanocytes. Furthermore, overexpression of Linc00961 inhibited cell proliferation, and promoted the apoptosis of A375 and SK‑MEL‑28 cells in vitro and in vivo, as determined by Cell Counting Kit‑8 and flow cytometry assays, and tumor xenograft studies, respectively. Overexpression of Linc00961 also led to an attenuation of the migration and invasive capabilities of A375 and SK‑MEL‑28 cells, measured using Transwell assays. Functionally, it was demonstrated that Linc00961 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by competitively sponging microRNA‑367 (miR‑367) in A375 and SK‑MEL‑28 cells; restoration of miR‑367 rescued the inhibitory effects of Linc00961 on A375 and SK‑MEL‑28 cells. Finally, it was observed that phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), an established target of miR‑367 in A375 and SK‑MEL‑28 cells, was positively regulated by Linc00961, and its inhibition reversed the inhibitory effects of Linc00961 on the proliferation and invasion of A375 and SK‑MEL‑28 cells. Collectively, the present study revealed that Linc00961 was downregulated in SM, and furthermore, Linc00961 was identified as a ceRNA that inhibits the proliferation and invasion of A375 and SK‑MEL‑28 cells by modulating the miR‑367/PTEN axis.

CircEIF4G2 Promotes Tumorigenesis and Progression of Osteosarcoma by Sponging miR-218.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a key role in regulating the tumorigenesis and development of human cancers, including osteosarcoma (OS). Of note, the molecular mechanism underlying the progression of OS has remained largely unclear. The present study identified that a novel circRNA circEIF4G2 was upregulated in OS tissues and cells. Moreover, we constructed a circEIF4G2-mediated ceRNA network and revealed that circEIF4G2 was involved in regulating multiple cancer pathways, such as the EGFR signaling pathway, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and the ErbB signaling pathway. Loss-of-function assays showed that circEIF4G2 knockdown significantly suppressed OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Mechanically, we found that circEIF4G2 could directly bind to miR-218, and miR-218 mediated the effect of circEIF4G2 knockdown on OS progression. In conclusion, the present study showed that circEIF4G2 could be a potential biomarker for OS.

Circ_0001998 Regulates the Proliferation, Invasion, and Apoptosis of Lung Adenocarcinoma via Sponging miR-145.

Project description:Circular RNA (circRNA) is considered an important regulator of cancer. Circ_0001998 is a newly discovered circRNA and its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains obscure and requires further study. The expression levels of circ_0001998 and miR-145 in LUAD were predicted by bioinformatics analysis and then verified by qRT-PCR in the LUAD cell lines. CCK-8, clone formation, EdU assay, and flow cytometry were applied to determine the effects of silencing circ_0001998 on the viability, proliferation, and apoptosis of LUAD cells. The target relationship between circ_0001998 and miR-145 was predicted by bioinformatics analysis and verified by a luciferase activity experiment. The effect of circ_0001998/miR-145 axis on the viability, proliferation, and apoptosis of LUAD cells was verified by the rescue experiment. Circ_0001998 was upregulated in LUAD, and silencing circ_0001998 suppressed viability, proliferation, and invasion of LUAD cells. The target gene of circ_0001998, miR-145, was downregulated in LUAD, and the low expression of miR-145 indicated a poor prognosis. The effect of silencing circ_0001998 on the biological function of LUAD cells was reversed by the miR-145 inhibitor. Circ_0001998 regulates the proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis of LUAD via sponging miR-145.

Hsa_circ_0001017 promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion in osteosarcoma by sponging miR-145-5p.

Project description:BackgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) have displayed important roles in the development and progression of various cancers. However, the functions of the majority of circRNAs in osteosarcoma (OS) remain unknown.MethodsCircular RNA microarray analysis was performed in three OS cell lines (Saos-2, U2OS and MG63) and normal vascular endothelial cells. The co-differentially expressed circRNAs (CDECs) were identified in OS cell lines with the criterion of FDR (false discovery rate) < 0.05 and |fold change (FC)|> 2. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to validate the expression levels of selected CDECs. A series of functional assays, including MTT assay, flow cytometry and transwell assay were conducted in OS cells. The interaction between circRNA and miRNAs was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay.ResultsA total of 241 CDECs, including 75 upregulated and 166 downregulated CDECs, were identified in three OS cell lines compared with normal vascular endothelial cells. PCR validation showed that hsa_circ_0000704, hsa_circ_0001017 and hsa_circ_0005035 were all highly expression in the three OS cell lines, compared with osteoblast cell lines (HECC, hFOB1.19 and HFF-1). Functionally, overexpression of circ_0001017 significantly promoted the cell proliferation, migration and invasion and decreased apoptosis in U2OS cells. Knockdown of circ_0001017 obtained the opposite results. Circ_0001017 may downregulate miR-145-5p through direct binding. Furthermore, the expression of miR-145-5p was negatively regulated by circ_0001017 in OS cells. In addition, further functional studies indicated that miR-145-5p inhibitor eliminated the effects caused by si-circ_0001017 in OS cells.ConclusionsIn conclusion, our study suggested that circ_0001017 may be a novel oncogenic factor during the progression and development of OS by targeting miR-145-5p.

LncRNA 2310043L19Rik inhibits differentiation and promotes proliferation of myoblast by sponging miR-125a-5p.

Project description:Although many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified in muscle, some of their physiological functions and regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Here we report the functional identification and characterization of a novel lncRNA 2310043L19Rik (lnc-231), which is highly expressed in muscle. The expression level of lnc-231 in skeletal muscle of young mice is higher than that in aged mice. Functional analysis showed that overexpression of lnc-231 restrained differentiation and promoted proliferation of myoblast, while inhibition of lnc-231 revealed completely opposite effects in vitro. RNA molecules of lnc-231 acted mechanistically as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) to target miR-125a-5p, whereas miR-125a-5p binds to the 3'-UTR of E2F3 mRNA to inhibit its function. Collectively, lncRNA 2310043L19Rik promotes proliferation and inhibits differentiation of myoblast cells by attenuating the function of miR-125a-5p.
