Reduced expression of odd-skipped related transcription factor 1 promotes proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells and indicates poor patient prognosis.

ABSTRACT: Odd-skipped related transcription factor 1 (OSR1) serves an important role in the development of the intermediate mesoderm; however, its expression in cancer remains unknown. The present study aimed to explore the expression and role of OSR1 in breast cancer development. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect OSR1 expression in breast cancer tissue and western blot analysis was used to evaluate the expression of OSR1 and related proteins, including ?-catenin, c-Myc and cyclin D1. OSR1 expression was increased following transfection of MCF7 cells with OSR1 overexpression vector (MCF7-OSR1) and reduced by transfecting MDA-MB-231 cells with small interfering (si)RNA targeting OSR1 (MDA-MB-231-siOSR1). Cell proliferation and Matrigel™ invasion assays were used to investigate the effects of OSR1 on the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells. OSR1 was downregulated in breast cancer tissue compared with that in normal breast tissue and associated with lymph node metastases and estrogen receptor (ER) expression. Furthermore, reduced expression of OSR1 was associated with poor patient prognosis. Overexpression of OSR1 inhibited the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells. Western blot analysis of MCF7-OSR1 cells demonstrated that compared with that in the control cells, the expression of E-cadherin was increased, whereas that of key epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) proteins, N-cadherin and Snail, was decreased. In addition, overexpression of OSR1 significantly decreased the expression level of ?-catenin and Wnt target genes, such as c-Myc and cyclin D1, compared with that in the control cells. These expression patterns were reversed in the MDA-MB-231-siOSR1 cells. The results of the present study suggested that OSR1 downregulates the activity of the Wnt signaling pathway and EMT, which inhibits the proliferative and invasive abilities of breast cancer cells.

Project description:Background: The long non-coding RNA Linc00152 stimulates tumor progression in cancer. However, its clinical significance and biological functions in lung adenocarcinoma remains unknown. We evaluate the expression of Linc00152 in lung adenocarcinoma and its possible correlation with clinicopathologic features and patient survival to reveal its biological effects in cancer progression and prognosis. Methods: Total RNA extraction was performed on 110 pairs of lung adenocarcinoma and adjacent normal tissue samples, and then RT-qPCR was conducted. Chi-square test analysis was used to calculate the correlation between pathological parameters and the Linc00152 mRNA levels. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards analyses were used to analyze the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates. We also detected the potential functional effects of overexpression and knockdown of Linc00152 in vitro cell proliferation, tumor cell invasion and migration, as well as in vivo nude mouse xenograft and metastasis models. Results: The Linc00152 expression levels were higher in lung adenocarcinoma samples than in the adjacent normal tissues. Linc00152 expression levels tightly correlated with lymph node metastasis station, remote metastasis and TNM staging. The Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested that high Linc00152 expression caused significantly poorer OS and DFS rates, and a multivariate analysis revealed that Linc00152 was an independent risk factor for both DFS and OS. Overexpression of Linc00152 in lung cancer cells stimulated proliferation, tumor cell invasion and migration. Knockdown of Linc00152 inhibited cell growth and cell invasion and migration. Finally, Linc00152 knockdown inhibited lung tumor growth and tumor metastasis in nude mice models. Conclusions: Our study suggests that Linc00152 independently predicts poor prognosis and promotes tumor progression in lung adenocarcinoma. Linc00152 needs to be considered as a potential molecular target in future cancer pharmacology.
