XIST promotes cell proliferation and invasion by regulating miR-140-5p and SOX4 in retinoblastoma.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common intraocular malignancy in children. Long non-coding RNA X-inactive specific transcript (lncRNA XIST) has been reported to be associated with RB, but research on the mechanism of XIST is not well studied. METHODS:Expressions of XIST, microRNA-140-5p (miR-140-5p), and sex-determining region Y-related high-mobility group box 4 (SOX4) were analyzed by qRT-PCR or Western blot. Relationships of XIST, SOX4, and miR-140-5p were evaluated by dual-luciferase reporter assay and Spearman's analysis. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assay were performed to assess the function of XIST on RB cell proliferation and invasion. RESULTS:In RB tissues, XIST and SOX4 expressions were obviously increased, but the miR-140-5p expression was markedly reduced. XIST expression was positively related to SOX4 expression while negatively correlated with miR-140-5p expression, and negative correlation was exhibited between miR-140-5p and SOX4 expression in RB tissues. XIST was confirmed to directly bind to miR-140-5p, and SOX4 was one target of miR-140-5p. XIST knockdown could impede RB cell proliferation and invasion, while miR-140-5p inhibition reversed the effects. In addition, XIST overexpression or miR-140-5p inhibition could abrogate the inhibition of SOX4 silencing on cell proliferation and invasion of RB cells. CONCLUSIONS:XIST was obviously increased in RB tissues and cells, and XIST inhibition repressed the proliferation and invasion of RB cells by miR-140-5p/SOX4 axis, which may provide new understandings of the XIST molecular mechanism in RB.

Project description:To investigate the changes of circular (circ)RNA circCD151 expression in lung cancer tissues and cells and its effects on proliferation, migration and invasion of lung cancer cells. The relative expression levels of circCD151 in lung cancer tissues and lung cancer cells (A549 and NCI‑H292) were determined by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. The effects of silencing or upregulation of circCD151 on the activity and clonal forming ability of A549 and NCI‑H292 cells were detected by CCK‑8 and cloning formation experiments. Transwell invasion assay detected the effects of silencing or upregulation of circCD151 on the migration and invasion ability of A549 and NCI‑H292 cells. The regulatory effect of circCD151 on miR‑30d‑5p was detected by dual luciferase reporter gene. The relative expression level of circCD151 in lung cancer tissues was significantly higher compared with that in adjacent tissues. The relative expression level of circCD151 in A549 and NCI‑H292 cells was significantly higher compared with that in human lung epithelial cells. In A549 and NCI‑H292 cells, silencing circCD151 decreased cell activity and clonal formation ability and invasion ability was also significantly decreased. circCD151 was upregulated in A549 and NCI‑H292 cells and the activity and clonal formation ability of A549 and NCI‑H292 cells were significantly increased and the invasion ability was also significantly increased. Double luciferase reporter assay confirmed the ceRNA regulatory mechanism of circCD151/miR‑30d‑5p/GLI2. In the present study, in vivo and in vitro functional studies demonstrated that circCD151 may promote the proliferation, invasion and cell stemness of lung cancer cells. Further molecular mechanism studies demonstrated that circCD151 could promote the malignant proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma by targeting miR‑30d‑5p and upregulating GLI2 expression. From the perspective of circRNA, the present study will provide new clues to the pathogenesis and prognostic judgment of lung adenocarcinoma and provide a new target for clinical treatment.
