CircRNA_101237 promotes NSCLC progression via the miRNA-490-3p/MAPK1 axis.

ABSTRACT: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common type of lung cancer, characterized by a poor prognosis. In the last several years, more and more studies have demonstrated the significant roles played by circular RNAs (circRNAs) in different human tumors progression including NSCLC. The present study was to explore the mechanism of hsa_circ_101237 in regulating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Totally 303 NSCLC cases were enrolled. A549 and H1299 cells were transfected. Cells viability, migration and invasion were determined by CCK-8 assay and transwell experiment, respectively. Luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were performed. hsa_circ_101237, miR-490-3p and MAPK1 expression in tissues/cells were detected by qRT-PCR. The study found an elevation in the expression of Hsa_circRNA_101237 in both NSCLC tissues and cell line. High Hsa_circRNA_101237 expression predicted poor survival in NSCLC. Meanwhile, we found that hsa_circRNA_101237 expression sponged miR-490-3p to enhance MAPK1 expression, thus significantly promoting NSCLC cell lines proliferation, migration, and invasion. MAPK1 restoration prevented NSCLC cells proliferation, migration, and invasion to be repressed due to hsa_circRNA_101237 knockdown. To sum up, as revealed by the study, hsa_circRNA_101237 promoted the expression of MAPK1 via miRNA-490-3p sponge, thus affecting the NSCLC as an important onco-circRNA.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA/mir)‑490‑3p has been defined as a tumor suppressor in different types of cancer, including breast cancer. However, miR‑490‑3p has been shown to function as a tumor suppressor and promoter in a context‑dependent manner in hepatocellular and lung cancer. Contrary to previous studies, the present study revealed that miR‑490‑3p expression was significantly higher in invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) tissue specimens, the most common form of breast cancer, compared to tumor‑adjacent normal tissue specimens (n=20). Its expression was also higher in the more metastatic breast cancer cell line, MDA‑MB‑231, compared to the non‑metastatic breast cancer cell line, MCF7, and the moderately metastatic breast cancer cell line, MDA‑MB‑468. The expression of miR‑490‑3p was induced following transforming growth factor (TGF)‑β‑induced epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) in MCF10A cells. Gain‑and loss‑of‑function assays revealed that the expression of miR‑490‑3p regulated the proliferation, colony formation, EMT, migration and invasion in vitro, but not the apoptosis of MDA‑MB‑468 and MDA‑MB‑231 cells. The knockdown of miR‑490‑3p expression in MDA‑MB‑231 cells inhibited experimental metastasis in a tumor xenograft assay. As in lung cancer, miR‑490‑3p was found to target and downregulate the expression of the tumor suppressor RNA binding protein poly r(C) binding protein 1 (PCBP1). PCBP1 protein and miR‑490‑3p expression inversely correlated in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS; n=10; no nodal involvement) and IDC (n=10; different stages of metastatic progression) with a significantly higher miR‑490‑3p expression in patients with IDC compared to those with DCIS. The expression of miR‑490‑3p was negatively associated with both overall and disease‑free survival in the patients with breast cancer included in the present study. On the whole, the results confirm a pro‑metastatic role of miR‑490‑3p in IDC, establishing it as a biomarker for disease progression in these patients.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have reported the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the progression of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). SWT1-derived circRNAs were confirmed to affect the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes; however, the biological functions of SWT1-derived circRNAs in cancers are still unknown. Here, we investigated the potential role of SWT1-derived circRNAs in NSCLC.MethodsWe used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to measure the expression of circSWT1 in NSCLC tissues and paired normal tissues. The potential functions of circSWT1 in tumor progression were assessed by CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing, and matrigel transwell assays in vitro and by xenograft tumor models in vivo. Next, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was evaluated by western blotting, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Moreover, circRIP, RNA pulldown assays, luciferase reporter gene assays, and FISH were conducted to illuminate the molecular mechanisms of circSWT1 via the miR-370-3p/SNAIL signal pathway. Then, we knocked out SNAIL in A549 and H1299 cells to identify the roles of circSWT1 in the progression and EMT of NSCLC through SNAIL. Finally, circSWT1 functions were confirmed in vivo using xenograft tumor models.ResultsCircSWT1 expression was significantly upregulated in NSCLC tissues, and high expression of circSWT1 predicted poor prognosis in NSCLC via survival analysis. In addition, overexpression of circSWT1 promoted the invasion and migration of NSCLC cells. Subsequently, we found that overexpression of circSWT1 induced EMT and that knockdown of circSWT1 inhibited EMT in NSCLC cells. Mechanistically, circSWT1 relieved the inhibition of downstream SNAIL by sponging miR-370-3p. Moreover, we found that these effects could be reversed by knocking out SNAIL. Finally, we verified that circSWT1 promoted NSCLC progression and EMT in xenograft tumor models.ConclusionCircSWT1 promoted the invasion, migration, and EMT of NSCLC. CircSWT1 could serve as a potential biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC.

Project description:BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Exosome shave emerged as crucial regulators of intercellular communication and that abundant Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are enriched within exosomes. CircRNAs are novel members of noncoding RNAs regulating cancer proliferation and progression. However, the function and regulatory mechanism of cancer-derived exosomal circRNAs in CRC remains unclear.MethodsCRC cells-derived exosomes were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and western blot. CCK-8, wound healing and transwell assays, and flow cytometry assays were conducted to assess whether exosomes would affect the proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis of CRC cells, respectively. Moreover, we performed the RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR to identify circRNAs in exosome-stimulated CRC cells. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay was used to detect the cellular distribution of circPACRGL. Bioinformatic analyses (StarBase 2.0) were used to pool the miRNA targets of circPACRGL. Luciferase assays were performed to verify the direct interaction. Finally, flow cytometry was used to detect the differentiation of N1-N2 neutrophils.ResultsOur study identified a novel CRC-derived exosomal circRNA, circPACRGL. We found circPACRGL was significantly upregulated in CRC cells after tumor-derived exosomes addition. Moreover, circPACRGL serves as a sponge for miR-142-3p/miR-506-3p to facilitate the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression. As a result, circPACRGL promoted CRC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, as well as differentiation of N1 to N2 neutrophils via miR-142-3p/miR-506-3p-TGF-β1 axis.ConclusionOur study, the first to reveal that cancer-derived exosomal circPACRGL plays an oncogenic role in CRC proliferation and metastasis, providing mechanistic insights into the roles of circRNAs in CRC progression and a valuable marker for CRC treatment.
