Long Non-Coding RNA PART1 Exerts Tumor Suppressive Functions in Glioma via Sponging miR-190a-3p and Inactivation of PTEN/AKT Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Background:Glioma is the most commonly diagnosed primary brain tumor. Dysregulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is associated with initiation and development of various cancer types including glioma. Methods:The relative expression of lncRNA was analyzed by real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell counting kit (CCK-8) and flow cytometry analysis were applied to explore the role of prostate androgen-regulated transcript 1 (PART1) in glioma cell lines. Luciferase reporter assay, Western blotting and RT-qPCR were used to investigate the association between PART1, miR-190a-3p and phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) in glioma cell lines. Results:In the present study, we elucidated a pivotal role and molecular mechanism of lncRNA PART1 in glioma cell lines. It was found that PART1 was significantly downregulated in glioma tissues compared to normal tissues according to TCGA data and our RT-qPCR results. The cell-based assays showed that PART1 suppressed cell proliferation and triggered cell apoptosis in glioma cell lines. PART1 inactivated PI3K/AKT cascade in glioma cell lines. Transfection of constitutively activated AKT (Myr-AKT) reversed PART1 induced cell apoptosis and cell growth arrest. The bioinformatic analysis suggested that miR-190a-3p might bind to PART1. In the dual luciferase reporter assay, we validated that PART1 directly bound to miR-190a-3p in glioma cell lines. Furthermore, there was a reciprocal repression between PART1 and miR-190-3p. In addition, PART1 upregulated PTEN and inactivated PI3K/AKT pathway in glioma cell lines. Moreover, silencing of PTEN reversed PART1 overexpression induced cell growth arrest and apoptosis. In glioma tissues, the Pearson Correlation analysis showed that there was a strong-positive correlation between PART1 level and PTEN mRNA level. Conclusion:Taken together, the current study revealed a PART1/miR-190a-3p/PTEN/PI3K/AKT axis in glioma and provided novel insights for understanding the complex lncRNA-miRNA network in glioma.

Project description:BackgroundE3 ubiquitin ligase HRD1 (HMG-CoA reductase degradation protein 1, alias synoviolin with SYVN1 as the official gene symbol) was found downregulated and acting as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer, while the exact expression profile of HRD1 in different breast cancer subtypes remains unknown. Recent studies characterized circular RNAs (circRNAs) playing an regulatory role as miRNA sponge in tumor progression, presenting a new viewpoint for the post-transcriptional regulation of cancer-related genes.MethodsExamination of the expression of HRD1 protein and mRNA was implemented using public microarray/RNA-sequencing datasets and breast cancer tissues/cell lines. Based on public RNA-sequencing results, online databases and enrichment/clustering analyses were used to predict the specific combinations of circRNA/miRNA that potentially govern HRD1 expression. Gain-of-function and rescue experiments in vitro and in vivo were executed to evaluate the suppressive effects of circNR3C2 on breast cancer progression through HRD1-mediated proteasomal degradation of Vimentin, which was identified using immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, and in vitro ubiquitination assays.ResultsHRD1 is significantly underexpressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) against other subtypes and has an inverse correlation with Vimentin, inhibiting the proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT (epithelial-mesenchymal transition) process of breast cancer cells via inducing polyubiquitination-mediated proteasomal degradation of Vimentin. CircNR3C2 (hsa_circ_0071127) is also remarkably downregulated in TNBC, negatively correlated with the distant metastasis and lethality of invasive breast carcinoma. Overexpressing circNR3C2 in vitro and in vivo leads to a crucial enhancement of the tumor-suppressive effects of HRD1 through sponging miR-513a-3p.ConclusionsCollectively, we elucidated a bona fide circNR3C2/miR-513a-3p/HRD1/Vimentin axis that negatively regulates the metastasis of TNBC, suggesting that circNR3C2 and HRD1 can act as potential prognostic biomarkers. Our study may facilitate the development of therapeutic agents targeting circNR3C2 and HRD1 for patients with aggressive breast cancer.
