Replisome genes regulation by antitumor miR-101-5p in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Analysis of microRNA (miRNA) regulatory networks is useful for exploring novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets in cancer cells. The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset shows that low expression of both strands of pre-miR-101 (miR-101-5p and miR-101-3p) significantly predicted poor prognosis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The functional significance of miR-101-5p in cancer cells is poorly understood. Here, we focused on miR-101-5p to investigate the antitumor function and its regulatory networks in ccRCC cells. Ectopic expression of mature miRNAs or siRNAs was investigated in cancer cell lines to characterize cell function, ie, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. Genome-wide gene expression and in silico database analyses were undertaken to predict miRNA regulatory networks. Expression of miR-101-5p caused cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in ccRCC cells. Downstream neighbor of son (DONSON) was directly regulated by miR-101-5p, and its aberrant expression was significantly associated with shorter survival in propensity score-matched analysis (P = .0001). Knockdown of DONSON attenuated ccRCC cell aggressiveness. Several replisome genes controlled by DONSON and their expression were closely associated with ccRCC pathogenesis. The antitumor miR-101-5p/DONSON axis and its modulated replisome genes might be a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target for ccRCC.

Project description:BackgroundDue to the poor prognosis for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), there is an urgent need for new therapeutic targets and for prognostic markers to identify high risk tumors. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are frequently dysregulated in tumors, play a crucial role during carcinogenesis and therefore might be promising new biomarkers. In previous studies, we identified miR-141-3p and miR-145-5p to be downregulated in clear cell RCC (ccRCC). Our objective was to investigate the functional association of these miRNAs, focusing on the cooperative regulation of new specific targets and their role in ccRCC progression.MethodsThe effect of miR-141-3p and miR-145-5p on cell migration was examined by overexpression in 786-O cells. New targets of both miRNAs were identified by miRWalk, validated in 786-O and ACHN cells and additionally characterized in ccRCC tissue on mRNA and protein level.ResultsIn functional analysis, a tumor suppressive effect of miR-141-3p and miR-145-5p by decreasing migration and invasion of RCC cells could be shown. Furthermore, co-overexpression of the miRNAs seemed to result in an increased inhibition of cell migration. Both miRNAs were recognized as post-transcriptional regulators of the targets EAPP, HS6ST2, LOX, TGFB2 and VRK2. Additionally, they showed a cooperative effect again as demonstrated by a significantly increased inhibition of HS6ST2 and LOX expression after simultaneous overexpression of both miRNAs. In ccRCC tissue, LOX mRNA expression was strongly increased compared to normal tissue, allowing also to distinguish between non-metastatic and already metastasized primary tumors. Finally, in subsequent tissue microarray analysis LOX protein expression showed a prognostic relevance for the overall survival of ccRCC patients.ConclusionThese results illustrate a jointly strengthening effect of the dysregulated miR-141-3p and miR-145-5p in various tumor associated processes. Focusing on the cooperative effect of miRNAs provides new opportunities for the development of therapeutic strategies and offers novel prognostic and diagnostic capabilities.
