Expression Pattern and Biological Significance of the lncRNA ST3GAL6-AS1 in Multiple Myeloma.

ABSTRACT: The biological impact of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in multiple myeloma (MM) is becoming an important aspect of investigation, which may contribute to the understanding of the complex pathobiology of the disease whilst also providing novel potential therapeutic targets. Herein, we investigated the expression pattern and the biological significance of the lncRNA ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3 sialyltransferase 6 antisense RNA 1 (ST3GAL6-AS1) in MM. We documented a high ST3GAL6-AS1 expression level in MM compared to normal plasma cells (PCs) or other hematological malignancies. Transcriptome analyses of MM PCs from patients included in the CoMMpass database indicated a potential involvement of ST3GAL6-AS1 in MAPK signaling and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis pathways. ST3GAL6-AS1 silencing by LNA-gapmeR antisense oligonucleotides inhibits cell proliferation and triggers apoptosis in MM cell line. Notably, ST3GAL6-AS1 silencing in vitro displayed the down-regulation of the MAPK pathway and protein ubiquitination. These data suggest that ST3GAL6-AS1 deregulation may play a pathogenetic role in MM by affecting both proliferation pathways and circuits fundamental for PC survival. However, ST3GAL6-AS1 expression levels seem not to be significantly associated with clinical outcome and its targeting appears to exert antagonistic effects with proteasome inhibitors used in MM. These findings strongly urge the need for further studies investigating the relevance of ST3GAL6-AS1 in MM.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common disease of the digestive system with no curative treatments. Long noncoding RNA tyrosine protein kinase transmembrane receptor 1 antisense RNA 1 (lncRNA ROR1‑AS1) is an lncRNA whose functions have been predicted in human diseases; however, its important role in cancer has been probed only in mantle cell lymphoma, not in HCC. Therefore, the present study aimed to elucidate the prognostic significance of lncRNA ROR1‑AS1 in HCC. The Cancer Genome Atlas Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma was used to analyze the expression of ROR1‑AS1 in liver cancer. χ2 tests were performed to evaluate associations between clinical characteristics and ROR1‑AS1 expression. The role of ROR1‑AS1 in HCC prognosis was assessed using Kaplan‑Meier curves and proportional hazards model (Cox) analysis. Gene set enrichment analysis was performed by using a Gene Expression Omnibus dataset. At the same time, Multi Experiment Matrix was used to predict genes that may be co‑expressed with ROR1‑AS1. The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery and KO‑Based Annotation System were used to analyze the most closely associated cytological behaviors and pathways in HCC. Then, the genes in the three databases were integrated to screen mRNAs, microRNAs and lncRNAs that had co‑expression relationships with ROR1‑AS1. Cytoscape, Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins and Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis were used to map potential regulatory networks and developmental relationships associated with ROR1‑AS1. Finally, 12 genes most closely associated with ROR1‑AS1 were identified, and their relationship was described using a Circos plot. The results showed that ROR1‑AS1 was upregulated in HCC, and its expression was related to clinical stage, T stage and N stage. Furthermore, Kaplan‑Meier curves and Cox analysis indicated that high expression of ROR1‑AS1 was associated with poor prognosis, and that ROR1‑AS1 was an independent risk factor for HCC. Co‑expression data suggested that there may be a large regulatory network of 45 genes with indirect associations with ROR1‑AS1, a small regulatory network of 15 genes with direct or indirect regulatory relationships, and a special regulatory network containing 12 genes directly associated with ROR1‑AS1. The present findings indicated that high expression of ROR1‑AS1 suggests poor prognosis in patients with HCC.
