CircEPSTI1 Promotes the Progression of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Through miR-145/HMGB3 Axis.

ABSTRACT: Background:The high expression of circular RNA circEPSTI1 (hsa_circRNA_000479) has been reported to be associated with the malignant potential of ovarian cancer cells and triple-negative breast cancer cells. However, the expression profile and function of circEPSTI1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are not fully addressed. Methods:Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was applied to measure the RNA expression of circEPSTI1, relevant microRNAs (miRNAs) and high mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) in NSCLC tissues and cells. Cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) assay, colony formation and transwell assays were conducted to detect the capacities of proliferation, colony formation and metastasis in NSCLC cells. Western blot assay was performed to detect the expression of metastasis-associated proteins and HMGB3. Animal experiment was carried out to confirm the function of circEPSTI1 in vivo. The combination between miR-145 and circEPSTI1 or HMGB3 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down and RIP assays. Results:CircEPSTI1 was abnormally up-regulated in NSCLC tissues and cells in comparison with that in normal tissues and cells. The high expression of circEPSTI1 was associated with the low survival rate of NSCLC patients. CircEPSTI1 accelerated the proliferation, colony formation and motility of NSCLC cells in vitro. CircEPSTI1 silencing restrained the NSCLC tumor growth in vivo. miR-145 was validated as a target of circEPSTI1 in NSCLC cells. HMGB3 was a direct downstream target of miR-145 in NSCLC cells. The decreased abilities of proliferation, colony formation and metastasis caused by the silencing of circEPSTI1 were reversed by the depletion of miR-145 or the accumulation of HMGB3 in NSCLC cells. Conclusion:CircEPSTI1 aggravated the progression of NSCLC through elevating the expression of HMGB3 via sponging miR-145.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve important regulatory roles in human tumors. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of ribonuclease P RNA component H1 (RPPH1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). RPPH1 expression was assessed in datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas, as well as lung cancer cell lines and patients with NSCLC. RPPH1 was significantly upregulated in NSCLC cell lines, compared with a normal lung epithelial cell line. Moreover, high RPPH1 expression was associated with poor overall survival and disease progression. RPPH1 was knocked down in A549 and H1299 cells using short hairpin (sh) RNA constructs, and the expressions of target genes and proteins were determined by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting. Cell invasion potential was also determined using Transwell Matrigel assays. Compared with the negative control, RPPH1 silencing significantly reduced the number of invading cells, increased E-cadherin expression and reduced vimentin protein expression. Cell resistance to cisplatin/cis-diamminedichloridoplatinum (CDDP) was also evaluated using Cell Counting Kit-8 and colony formation assays. RPPH1 overexpression increased the resistance of A549 and H1299 cells to CDDP. Moreover, the potential interactions between RPPH1, microRNA (miR)-326 and Wnt family member 2B (WNT2B) were investigated using luciferase reporter assays and co-transfection experiments. MiR-326 expression was directly inhibited by RPPH1. In A549 cells co-transfected with shRPPH1 and miR-326 inhibitor, the invading cell number significantly increased compared with cells transfected with shRPPH1 alone. In addition, E-cadherin expression levels were reduced, and vimentin was upregulated. MiR-326 overexpression partially reduced the resistance of A549 cells to CDDP induced by RPPH1 overexpression. WNT2B expression was directly suppressed using miR-326. A549 cells co-transfected with a miR-326 mimic and a WNT2B overexpression vector demonstrated increased invasion potential, reduced E-cadherin and increased vimentin protein expression levels, compared with cells transfected with the mimic alone. miR-326 overexpression reduced CDDP resistance in A549 cells. However, co-transfection with WNT2B partially enhanced CDDP resistance, compared with the mimic alone. In conclusion, RPPH1 promoted NSCLC progression and lung cancer cell resistance to CDDP through miR-326 and WNT2B.

Project description:Circular RNA mediator of cell motility 1 (circ-MEMO1) was identified as an oncogene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, the working mechanism behind circ-MEMO1-mediated progression of NSCLC is barely known. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was applied to detect the expression of circ-MEMO1, microRNA-101-3p (miR-101-3p), and KRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase (KRAS). Cell proliferation and aerobic glycolysis were detected by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and glycolysis detection kits. Flow cytometry was used to evaluate cell cycle progression and apoptosis of NSCLC cells. Western blot assay was used to measure the protein expression of hexokinase 2 (HK2), lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), KRAS, CD9, CD81, tumor susceptibility 101 (TSG101), and Golgi matrix protein 130 kDa (GM130). The target relationship between miR-101-3p and circ-MEMO1 or KRAS was predicted by StarBase software and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay, and RNA-pull down assay. In vivo tumor growth assay was conducted to assess the effect of circ-MEMO1 in vivo. Exosomes were isolated using the ExoQuick precipitation kit. Circ-MEMO1 was up-regulated in NSCLC, and high expression of circ-MEMO1 predicted poor prognosis in NSCLC patients. Circ-MEMO1 accelerated the proliferation, cell cycle progression, and glycolytic metabolism and inhibited the apoptosis of NSCLC cells. Circ-MEMO1 negatively regulated the expression of miR-101-3p through direct interaction, and si-circ-MEMO1-induced biological effects were attenuated by the introduction of anti-miR-101-3p. MiR-101-3p directly interacted with the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of KRAS messenger RNA (mRNA), and KRAS level was regulated by circ-MEMO1/miR-101-3p axis. Circ-MEMO1 silencing suppressed the NSCLC tumor growth in vivo. ROC curve analysis revealed that high expression of serum exosomal circ-MEMO1 (exo-circ-MEMO1) might be a valuable diagnostic marker for NSCLC. Circ-MEMO1 facilitated the progression and glycolysis of NSCLC through regulating miR-101-3p/KRAS axis.
