LncRNA LCPAT1 Upregulation Promotes Breast Cancer Progression via Enhancing MFAP2 Transcription.

ABSTRACT: The importance of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in tumorigenesis has been supported by increasing evidence in recent years. However, the mechanism linking lncRNA function with cancer progression remains poorly understood. lncRNA LCPAT1 plays a role in lung cancer. However, how it works in breast cancer (BC) is largely unclear. In this study, we found that LCPAT1 was highly expressed in BC tissues and cell lines. High LCPAT1 expression predicted a low survival rate in BC patients. LCPAT1 promoted BC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while inhibiting apoptosis in vitro. LCPAT1 knockdown suppressed BC growth in vivo and vice versa. LCPAT1 interacted with RBBP4 and recruited it to the MFAP2 (microfibril-associated protein 2) promoter and then activated MFAP2 transcription. Restoration of MFAP2 rescued the effects of LCPAT1 knockdown in BC cells. In sum, LCPAT1 promotes BC progression through recruiting RBBP4 to initiate MFAP2 transcription.

Project description:BackgroundBreast cancer (BC) is a prevalent malignancy with complex etiology and varied clinical behavior. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as key regulators in cancer progression, including BC. Among these, lncRNA TDRKH-AS1 has been implicated in several cancers, but its role in BC remains unclear.MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive investigation to elucidate the role of TDRKH-AS1 in BC. Clinical samples were collected from BC patients, and BC cell lines were cultured. Bioinformatics analysis using the starBase database was carried out to assess TDRKH-AS1 expression levels in BC tissue samples. Functional experiments, including knockdown, colony formation, CCK-8, Transwell, and wound-healing assays, were conducted to determine the role of TDRKH-AS1 in BC cell proliferation and invasion. Luciferase reporter and RIP assays were used to examine the interactions between TDRKH-AS1 and miR-134-5p. In addition, the downstream target gene of miR-134-5p, cAMP response element-binding protein 1 (CREB1), was identified and studied using various methods, including RT-qPCR, immunoprecipitation, and rescue experiments. In vivo experiments using mouse tumor xenograft models were conducted to examine the role of TDRKH-AS1 in BC tumorigenesis.ResultsTDRKH-AS1 was found to be significantly upregulated in BC tissues and cell lines. High TDRKH-AS1 expression correlated with advanced BC stages and worse patient outcomes. Knockdown of TDRKH-AS1 led to decreased BC cell proliferation and invasion. Mechanistically, TDRKH-AS1 acted as a sponge for miR-134-5p, thereby reducing the inhibitory effects of miR-134-5p on CREB1 expression. Overexpression of CREB1 partially rescued the effects of TDRKH-AS1 knockdown in BC cells. In vivo studies further confirmed the tumor-promoting role of TDRKH-AS1 in BC.ConclusionsOur study unveiled a novel regulatory axis involving TDRKH-AS1, miR-134-5p, and CREB1 in BC progression. TDRKH-AS1 functioned as an oncogenic lncRNA by promoting BC cell proliferation and invasion through modulation of the miR-134-5p/CREB1 axis. These findings highlighted TDRKH-AS1 as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for BC treatment.
