MiR-196b-5p-mediated downregulation of TSPAN12 and GATA6 promotes tumor progression in non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for over 80% of lung cancer cases. The RNA binding protein, QKI, belongs to the STAR family and plays tumor-suppressive functions in NSCLC. QKI-5 is a major isoform of QKIs and is predominantly expressed in NSCLC. However, the underlying mechanisms of QKI-5 in NSCLC progression remain unclear. We found that QKI-5 regulated microRNA (miRNA), miR-196b-5p, and its expression was significantly up-regulated in NSCLC tissues. Up-regulated miR-196b-5p promotes lung cancer cell migration, proliferation, and cell cycle through directly targeting the tumor suppressors, GATA6 and TSPAN12. Both GATA6 and TSPAN12 expressions were down-regulated in NSCLC patient tissue samples and were negatively correlated with miR-196b-5p expression. Mouse xenograft models demonstrated that miR-196b-5p functions as a potent onco-miRNA, whereas TSPAN12 functions as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC in vivo. QKI-5 bound to miR-196b-5p and influenced its stability, resulting in up-regulated miR-196b-5p expression in NSCLC. Further analysis showed that hypomethylation in the promoter region enhanced miR-196b-5p expression in NSCLC. Our findings indicate that QKI-5 may exhibit novel anticancer mechanisms by regulating miRNA in NSCLC, and targeting the QKI5?miR-196b-5p?GATA6/TSPAN12 pathway may enable effectively treating some NSCLCs.

Project description:BackgroundmiR-196b-5p expression is deregulated in many malignant tumors. Although miR-196b-5p has been implicated in the malignant transformation of colorectal cancer, its role in this specific type of cancer has not been fully explored. Thus, the present study was aimed to examine the cellular function of miR-196b-5p and its role in malignant biological behavior in colorectal cancer.MethodsmiR-196b-5p expression was measured in colorectal cancer tissues and cell lines using quantitative real-time PCR. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and Transwell assay were used to detect proliferation, migration, and invasion in cell lines, whereas flow cytometry was applied to study apoptosis. Western blot analysis was performed to measure the protein levels. Dual luciferase reporter assay was used to investigate the interaction between miR-196b-5p and ING5. Tumor formation was evaluated in mice.ResultsMiR-196b-5p was abundantly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues and cell lines, whereas ING5 was expressed at low levels. MiR-196b-5p was successfully overexpressed or knocked down in colorectal cancer cells. We found that miR-196b-5p overexpression significantly accelerated the proliferation, cell cycle, migration and invasion, while inhibited cell apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells. However, miR-196b-5p inhibitor showed the opposite effects. Moreover, ING5 overexpression or knockdown was successfully performed in colorectal cancer cells. ING5 overexpression suppressed proliferation, migration, invasion, the phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt as well as MEK, and promoted cell apoptosis, which could be reversed by ING5 knockdown. Additionally, ING5 was identified as a target of miR-196b-5p through bioinformatics analysis and a luciferase activity assay. Furthermore, ING5 knockdown could attenuate the decrease in proliferation, migration, invasion, and the protein levels of p-PI3K, p-Akt, and p-MEK, which were induced by miRNA-196b-5p inhibitor. Besides, miR-196b-5p knockdown inhibited tumor growth, whereas ING5 knockdown elevated it in vivo.ConclusionsIn conclusion, miR-196b-5p promotes cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and inhibits apoptosis in colorectal cancer by targeting ING5.
