Long non-coding RNA EWSAT1 contributes to the proliferation and invasion of glioma by sponging miR-152-3p.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of ncRNA with a length ranging from 200-1,000 nucleotides. Previous studies have confirmed that the lncRNA Ewing sarcoma associated transcript 1 (EWSAT1) exerts regulatory roles in cancer development and progression. However, its clinical significance in glioma remains unknown. In the present study, RNA-sequencing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and The Cancer Genome Atlas was explored to investigate the association between EWSAT1 expression and prognosis in patients with glioma. Increased EWSAT1 was associated with the presence of necrosis on magnetic resonance imaging scans in patients with glioma. Furthermore, knockdown of EWSAT1 was indicated to suppress the proliferative and invasive abilities of glioblastoma cell lines using Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell assays. Additionally, microRNA (miR)-152-3p was identified as a potential target of EWSAT1. The present study demonstrated that EWSAT1 interacted directly with miR-152-3p, and rescue experiments confirmed that EWSAT1 participated in glioma development by suppressing miR-152-3p. These results indicated that EWSAT1 is involved in the occurrence and progression of glioma, and may serve as a novel target and potential prognostic biomarker of glioma treatment.

Project description:Background:Glioma is the most commonly diagnosed primary brain tumor. Dysregulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is associated with initiation and development of various cancer types including glioma. Methods:The relative expression of lncRNA was analyzed by real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell counting kit (CCK-8) and flow cytometry analysis were applied to explore the role of prostate androgen-regulated transcript 1 (PART1) in glioma cell lines. Luciferase reporter assay, Western blotting and RT-qPCR were used to investigate the association between PART1, miR-190a-3p and phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) in glioma cell lines. Results:In the present study, we elucidated a pivotal role and molecular mechanism of lncRNA PART1 in glioma cell lines. It was found that PART1 was significantly downregulated in glioma tissues compared to normal tissues according to TCGA data and our RT-qPCR results. The cell-based assays showed that PART1 suppressed cell proliferation and triggered cell apoptosis in glioma cell lines. PART1 inactivated PI3K/AKT cascade in glioma cell lines. Transfection of constitutively activated AKT (Myr-AKT) reversed PART1 induced cell apoptosis and cell growth arrest. The bioinformatic analysis suggested that miR-190a-3p might bind to PART1. In the dual luciferase reporter assay, we validated that PART1 directly bound to miR-190a-3p in glioma cell lines. Furthermore, there was a reciprocal repression between PART1 and miR-190-3p. In addition, PART1 upregulated PTEN and inactivated PI3K/AKT pathway in glioma cell lines. Moreover, silencing of PTEN reversed PART1 overexpression induced cell growth arrest and apoptosis. In glioma tissues, the Pearson Correlation analysis showed that there was a strong-positive correlation between PART1 level and PTEN mRNA level. Conclusion:Taken together, the current study revealed a PART1/miR-190a-3p/PTEN/PI3K/AKT axis in glioma and provided novel insights for understanding the complex lncRNA-miRNA network in glioma.
