RIOK2 is negatively regulated by miR-4744 and promotes glioma cell migration/invasion through epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

ABSTRACT: RIOK2 is a member of RIO (right open reading frame) kinase family. Recent studies have revealed the involvement of RIO kinases in glioma cell growth and expansion. However, the role and mechanism of RIOK2 in glioma cell migration and invasion remain unclear. Wound healing assay, Transwell assay and real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) detection of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were used to evaluate the migration/invasion of glioma cells. Western blot and qRT-PCR were employed to measure the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. Dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to determine the binding between RIOK2 and miR-4744. In addition, RIOK2 and miR-4744 levels were quantified by qRT-PCR and/or immunohistochemistry in glioma tissues. Transfection of RIOK2 siRNAs significantly inhibited glioma cell migration and invasion and down-regulated the expression of MMPs (MMP2 and MMP9) and mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, ?-catenin, Twist1, fibronectin, ZEB-1) in glioma cells. Overexpression of RIOK2 showed the opposite effects. MiR-4744 directly bound to the 3'-untranslated region of RIOK2 and negatively regulated the expression of RIOK2. Up-regulation of miR-4744 inhibited the migration and invasion of glioma cells. Overexpression of RIOK2 could reverse the effects of miR-4744 up-regulation on the migration, invasion and EMT process in glioma cells. Moreover, RIOK2 was high, while miR-4744 was low in glioma tissues, and a negative correlation was found between them. These results suggest that RIOK2 is post-transcriptionally targeted by miR-4744, the low miR-4744 and high RIOK2 levels in glioma may contribute to tumour cell infiltration through promoting the EMT.

Project description:BackgroundThe present study is aimed at exploring the specific expression of miR-193a-3p and the mechanism underlying miR-193a-3p-mediated mesenchymal transition (MT), invasion, and migration in glioma.MethodsThe gene expression profile datasets of GSE39486 and GSE25676 were downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology (NCBI). Data regarding the expression of miR-193a-3p and survival curves were derived from Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA). Online websites including miRWalk, DIANA, and starbase were employed to predict the target genes for miR-193a-3p. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed by the Omicsbean online software. Module analysis of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks was performed by the plug-in Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE), and the degrees of genes were calculated by CytoHubba plug-in of Cytoscape. Survival curves were based on the Gene Expression Profile Interaction Analysis (GEPIA). Transwell, wound healing, and Western blot experiments were performed to investigate the effects of miR-193a-3p and beta-transducin repeat containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (BTRC) on the invasion, migration, and MT of glioma.ResultsmiR-193a-3p was highly expressed in glioma tissues and significantly correlated with poor survival in patients with glioma. The target genes for miR-193a-3p were involved in many cancer-related signaling pathways. The PPI showed 11 genes with both high degrees and MCODE scores in the network. Survival analysis demonstrated that the expression of BTRC was significantly correlated with the prognosis of patients with glioma. The results from the transwell, wound healing, and Western blot analyses suggested that miR-193a-3p promoted the invasion, migration, and MT of glioma cells, which could be reversed by BTRC.ConclusionsmiR-193a-3p was upregulated in patients with glioma and could affect the invasion, migration, and MT of glioma by regulating BTRC.

Project description:BackgroundThe function of a new long non-coding RNA linc00673 remains unclear. While identified as an oncogenic player in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), linc00673 was found to be anti-oncogenic in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However whether linc00673 regulated malignancy and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) has not been characterized.MethodsCell proliferation was assessed using CCK-8 and EdU assays, and cell migration and invasion were assessed using scratch assays and transwell invasion assays. Epithelial mesenchymal transition was examined using western blot, qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining. Interaction between miRNA and linc00673 was determined using luciferase reporter assays. In vivo experiments were performed to assess tumor formation. In addition, the expression data of NSCLC specimens of TCGA and patient survival data were utilized to explore the prognostic significance of linc00673.ResultsIn the present study, we found high linc00673 expression was associated with poor prognosis of NSCLC patients. In vitro experiments showed linc00673 knockdown reversed TGF-? induced EMT, and miR-150-5p was predicted to target linc00673 through bioinformatics tools. Overexpression of miR-150-5p suppressed lin00673's expression while inhibition of miR-150-5p led to significant upregulation of lin00673, suggesting that linc00673 could be negatively regulated by miR-150-5p, which was further confirmed by the inverse correlation between linc00673 and miR-150-5p in NSCLC patients' specimen. Furthermore, we proved that miR-150-5p could directly target linc00673 through luciferase assay, so linc00673 could sponge miR-150-5p and modulate the expression of a key EMT regulator ZEB1 indirectly. In addition, miR-150-5p inhibition abrogated linc00673 silence mediated proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT suppressing effect. Moreover, the inhibition of linc00673 significantly attenuated the tumorigenesis ability of A549 cells in vivo.ConclusionsWe validated linc00673 as a novel oncogenic lncRNA and demonstrated the molecular mechanism by which it promotes NSCLC, which will advance our understanding of its clinical significance.
