LRP6 is involved in the proliferation, migration and invasion of trophoblast cells via miR?346.

ABSTRACT: Low?density lipoprotein receptor?related protein 6 (LRP6) promotes metastasis in numerous types of cancer; however, its role in trophoblast cells has been less frequently reported. In the present study, the effects of up? and downregulation of LRP6 on trophoblast cells were investigated accordingly. The study aimed to develop a therapeutic target for gestational choriocarcinoma. The expression levels of LRP6 in pre?eclampsia (PE) tissues, trophoblast cell lines and gestational choriocarcinoma cells were determined using reverse transcription?quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT?qPCR) assay. Double?luciferase reporter analysis was conducted to detect the regulatory gene of LRP6. Furthermore, the proliferative, migratory and invasive abilities of trophoblasts and gestational choriocarcinoma cells were determined by CCK?8, wound healing, and Transwell assays, respectively. The expression levels of the genes and proteins of interest [matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)?2, MMP?9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase?1 (TIMP?1), and TIMP?2] associated with tumor cell invasion were measured by performing RT?qPCR and western blotting, respectively. The National Center for Biotechnology Information database revealed that LRP6 was relatively highly expressed in placental tissues, but was poorly expressed in PE tissues and trophoblast cell lines. The upregulation of LRP6 not only increased the activity, migration and invasion of trophoblast cells, but it also promoted the expression of MMP?2 and MMP?9, whereas it inhibited the expression levels of TIMP?1 and TIMP?2. Such results followed the opposite trend to those of downregulation of LRP6 in gestational choriocarcinoma cells. Moreover, LRP6 was predicted to be the target gene for microRNA (miR)?346, which was highly expressed in PE tissues and trophoblast cell lines. The present study also revealed that LRP6 could reverse the effects of miR?346 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of trophoblast cells. Therefore, considered collectively, the results of the present study have demonstrated that LRP6 is involved in the proliferation, migration and invasion of trophoblast cells via miR?346, and that LRP6 may serve as a potential target in cancer treatment.

Project description:BackgroundRecent studies have shown that the abnormal expression of long-chain non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can significantly affect the biological function of trophoblast cells and lead to the occurrence of preeclampsia (PE). This study explores the expression of lncRNA LINC00922 in PE and its effect on the function of placental trophoblast cells, along with the corresponding molecular mechanism, providing a theoretical basis and molecular target for understanding the occurrence, early diagnosis, and targeted therapy of PE.MethodsFluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of LINC00922 in 30 cases of PE tissues and normal tissues. The CCK-8 assay, clone formation experiment, and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of LINC00922 knockdown or overexpression on the proliferation, colony formation, and cell cycle of HTR-8/SVneo placental trophoblast cells. The Transwell assay was used to detect the effects of LINC00922 knockdown or overexpression on the invasion and migration of HTR 8/SVneo cells, and western blot was used to detect the expression of cell cycle-related proteins and invasion and migration-related proteins.ResultsLINC00922 was highly expressed in PE tissues. Knockdown of LINC00922 significantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration of HTR-8/SVneo cells, along with colony formation and the ability to induce cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase. However, overexpression of LINC00922 had the opposite effect. Knockdown or overexpression of LINC00922 significantly affected the expression of cell cycle-related proteins cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), G1/S-specific cyclin-D1 (Cyclin D1), p21, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9), vimentin, and E-cadherin, but had no significant effect on the expression of matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP-2).ConclusionsLINC00922 was highly expressed in PE, and functional experiments showed that LINC00922 could significantly affect the proliferation and invasion abilities of placental trophoblast cells, suggesting that LINC00922 may play an important role in the occurrence, early diagnosis, and treatment of PE.

Project description:Accumulating evidence has indicated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) serve crucial roles in the progression of a diverse range of different types of cancer, including osteosarcoma (OS). The present study determined the expression pattern and function of circRNA homeodomain interacting protein kinase 3 (circHIPK3), a novel circular RNA, in OS. It was revealed that circHIPK3 expression was upregulated in OS tissue samples and OS cell lines. A localization assay revealed that circHIPK3 was primarily located in the cytoplasm. Using loss‑of‑function proliferation and Transwell assays, the present study revealed that circHIPK3‑knockdown suppressed OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Furthermore, the present study screened potential microRNAs that may interact with circHIPK3. It was revealed that microRNA‑637 (miR‑637) expression was downregulated in OS according to a Gene Expression Omnibus data analysis. In addition, the present study demonstrated that miR‑637 expression was downregulated in OS cell lines. A fluorescence in situ hybridization assay revealed that both miR‑637 and circHIPK3 were located in the cytoplasm. An in‑depth mechanism investigation demonstrated that circHIPK3 expression was inversely correlated with miR‑637 expression, and that circHIPK3 was a target of miR‑637. In addition, it was revealed that histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) was another downstream target gene of miR‑637, as demonstrated using a luciferase assay. It was revealed that miR‑637 suppressed OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion via targeting of HDAC4. Finally, the present study demonstrated that circHIPK3 sponged miR‑637 to promote HDAC4 expression and OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In conclusion, the present study uncovered the role of the circHIPK3/miR‑637/HDAC4 axis in OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion. It was demonstrated that circHIPK3 promoted OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion by modulating miR‑637/HDAC4 signaling.
