OIP5-AS1 contributes to tumorigenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma by miR-300/YY1-activated WNT pathway.

ABSTRACT: Background:It has reported that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exerted regulatory functions by targeting specific genes through a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) pathway. LncRNA OIP5-AS1 has been identified as a tumor-enhancer in several tumor types. Nonetheless, its molecular mechanism in HCC remains to be masked. Aim of the study:This study was aimed at exploring whether and how OIP5-AS1 exert functions in HCC. Methods:qRT-PCR and western blot were employed for detecting gene expression. CCK-8, colony formation and EdU assays were implemented to evaluate the proliferative ability of HCC cells. Caspase-3 activity and flow cytometry analyses were implemented to determine cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution. RNA pull down, ChIP, RIP and luciferase reporter assays explored the interplays between molecules. Results:YY1 was upregulated in HCC cells, and silenced YY1 restrained HCC cell proliferation in vitro and hampered tumor growth in vivo. Later, we discovered that miR-300 could regulate WNT pathway via targeting YY1. Furthermore, OIP5-AS1 was identified as the sponge of miR-300 and promoted cell growth in HCC. Importantly, YY1 transcriptionally activate OIP5-AS1 in turn. Rescue experiments indicated that miR-300 inhibition or YY1 overexpression abrogated the inhibitive effect of OIP5-AS1 silencing on the malignant growth of HCC cells. Conclusions:OIP5-AS1/miR-300/YY1 feedback loop facilitates cell growth in HCC by activating WNT pathway.

Project description:BackgroundPapillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type of cancer of the endocrine system. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as a novel class of gene expression regulators associated with tumorigenesis. Through preexisting databases available for differentially expressed lncRNAs in PTC, we uncovered that lncRNA OIP5-AS1 was significantly upregulated in PTC tissues. However, the function and the underlying mechanism of OIP5-AS1 in PTC are poorly understood.MethodsExpression of lncRNA OIP5-AS1 and miR-98 in PTC tissue and cells were measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). And expression of METTL14 and ADAMTS8 in PTC tissue and cells were measured by qRT-PCR and western blot. The biological functions of METTL14, OIP5-AS1, and ADAMTS8 were examined using MTT, colony formation, transwell, and wound healing assays in PTC cells. The relationship between METTL14 and OIP5-AS1 were evaluated using RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull down assay. And the relationship between miR-98 and ADAMTS8 were examined by luciferase reporter assay. For in vivo experiments, a xenograft model was used to investigate the effects of OIP5-AS1 and ADAMTS8 in PTC.ResultsFunctional validation revealed that OIP5-AS1 overexpression promotes PTC cell proliferation, migration/invasion in vitro and in vivo, while OIP5-AS1 knockdown shows an opposite effect. Mechanistically, OIP5-AS1 acts as a target of miR-98, which activates ADAMTS8. OIP5-AS1 promotes PTC cell progression through miR-98/ADAMTS8 and EGFR, MEK/ERK pathways. Furthermore, RIP and RNA pull down assays identified OIP5-AS1 as the downstream target of METTL14. Overexpression of METTL14 suppresses PTC cell proliferation and migration/invasion through inhibiting OIP5-AS1 expression and regulating EGFR, MEK/ERK pathways.ConclusionsCollectively, our findings demonstrate that OIP5-AS1 is a METTL14-regulated lncRNA that plays an important role in PTC progression and offers new insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying PTC development.

Project description:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for 90% of oral cavity cancer types, but the overall prognosis for patients with OSCC remains unfavorable. Cisplatin (DDP) is an effective drug in OSCC treatment, but DDP resistance weakens its therapeutic effect. Opa-interacting protein 5 antisense RNA 1 (OIP5-AS1) can trigger DDP resistance. The purpose of the current study was to explore the role and mechanism ofOIP5-AS1 in OSCC DDP resistance. In the present study, the expression levels of OIP5-AS1, microRNA (miR)-27b-3p and tripartite motif-containing 14 (TRIM14) were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. DDP resistance was measured using an MTT assay. Moreover, cell proliferation, migration and invasion were assessed by MTT, Transwell, and Matrigel assays. Protein expression levels of TRIM14, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Vimentin were detected by western blot analysis. Putative binding sites between miR-27b-3p andOIP5-AS1 or TRIM14werepredicted with starBase and verified using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. The role of OIP5-AS1 in DDP resistance of OSCC in vivo was measured using a xenograft tumor model. It was observed that OIP5-AS1 was upregulated in DDP-resistant OSCC cells, and the knockdown of OIP5-AS1 improved DDP sensitivity in DDP-resistant OSCC cells. The present study identified that miR-27b-3p was a target of OIP5-AS1. Furthermore, miR-27b-3p silencing reversed the effect of OIP5-AS1 knockdown on DDP sensitivity in DDP-resistant OSCC cells. TRIM14was shown to be a direct target of miR-27b-3p, and TRIM14 overexpression abolished the effect of miR-27b-3p on DDP sensitivity in DDP-resistant OSCC cells. The results suggested that OIP5-AS1 increased TRIM14 expression by sponging miR-27b-3p. In addition, OIP5-AS1 knockdown enhanced DDP sensitivity of OSCC in vivo. Data from the present study indicated that OIP5-AS1 may improve DDP resistance through theupregulationTRIM14 mediated bymiR-27b-3p, providing a possible therapeutic strategy for OSCC treatment.
