LncRNA 2310043L19Rik inhibits differentiation and promotes proliferation of myoblast by sponging miR-125a-5p.

ABSTRACT: Although many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified in muscle, some of their physiological functions and regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Here we report the functional identification and characterization of a novel lncRNA 2310043L19Rik (lnc-231), which is highly expressed in muscle. The expression level of lnc-231 in skeletal muscle of young mice is higher than that in aged mice. Functional analysis showed that overexpression of lnc-231 restrained differentiation and promoted proliferation of myoblast, while inhibition of lnc-231 revealed completely opposite effects in vitro. RNA molecules of lnc-231 acted mechanistically as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) to target miR-125a-5p, whereas miR-125a-5p binds to the 3'-UTR of E2F3 mRNA to inhibit its function. Collectively, lncRNA 2310043L19Rik promotes proliferation and inhibits differentiation of myoblast cells by attenuating the function of miR-125a-5p.

Project description:BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is currently the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in tumor occurrence and development as crucial cancer regulators. The present study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism and regulatory network of Linc00511 in LUAD and to identify new potential therapeutic targets for LUAD.MethodsReal-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to determine the relative Linc00511 levels in LUAD tissues and cells. The proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion abilities of LUAD cells were assessed by a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, a colony formation assay, flow cytometry, and a Transwell assay. Changes in hsa_miR-126-5p, hsa_miR-218-5p, and COL1A1 expression were analyzed using western blotting and RT-qPCR. Targeted binding between miR-126-5p/miR-218-5p and Linc00511 or COL1A1 was verified with a luciferase reporter system and confirmed by an RNA pulldown assay. The participation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was confirmed via western blotting. Xenograft animal experiments were performed to detect the impact of Linc00511 on LUAD tumor growth in vivo.ResultsIn the present work, we observed that Linc00511 was upregulated in LUAD tissues and cells. Loss/gain-of-function experiments indicated that knockdown of Linc00511 significantly inhibited LUAD cell proliferation, migration and invasion and promoted LUAD cell apoptosis, whereas overexpression of Linc00511 showed the opposite effects. In addition, we determined that Linc00511 promoted COL1A1-mediated cell proliferation and cell motility by sponging miR-126-5p and miR-218-5p. Moreover, Linc00511 activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway through upregulation of COL1A1. Finally, silencing of Linc00511 inhibited LUAD tumor growth in vivo.ConclusionsLinc00511 acts as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate COL1A1 by targeting miR-126-5p and miR-218-5p, thereby promoting the proliferation and invasion of LUAD cells.

Project description:Long-chain non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are expressed in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) tissues and have played a regulatory role in DLBCL with a cancer-promoting effect. In this study, the role of LncRNA SNHG8 in the regulation of DLBCL cells is investigated, and its underlying mechanism is explored. The database of the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) was searched, and the expression of SNHG8 in DLBCL and normal tissues was examined. The expression of SNHG8 was evaluated in several DLBCL cell lines and a normal lymphocyte cell line. It was found that SNHG8 was overexpressed in DLBCL tissues and cells in comparison with their normal counterparts. The short hairpin RNA (shRNA) plasmids of SNHG8 were transfected into DLBCL cells to knockdown the expression of SNHG8, followed by assays of proliferation, colony formation, apoptosis, and related protein expression. The results showed that the knockdown of SNHG8 significantly inhibited DLBCL cell proliferation and colony formation while promoting cell apoptosis. Moreover, the knockdown of SNHG8 reduced the expression of Ki-67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and Bcl-2 and enhanced the expression of Bax and cleaved caspase 3/9. MiR-335-5p was predicted to be a potential target of SNHG8 by using the bioinformatics analysis, and the interaction between the two was validated by using the dual luciferase assay. In addition, the knockdown of SNHG8 increased the level of miR-335-5p, whereas miR-335-5p mimic decreased the expression of SNHG8. Finally, U2932 cells were co-transfected with or without sh-SNHG8 and miR-335-5p inhibitors, whose proliferation, colony formation, and apoptosis were determined subsequently. It was demonstrated that the presence of an miR-335-5p inhibitor partially canceled the inhibitory effects of the knockdown of SNHG8 on DLBCL cell proliferation and colony formation and the stimulating effects of the knockdown of SNHG8 on cell apoptosis. Taken together, our study suggests that lncRNA SNHG8 exerts a cancer-promoting effect on DLBCL via targeting miR-335-5p.
