Long noncoding RNA LINC00261 suppresses prostate cancer tumorigenesis through upregulation of GATA6-mediated DKK3.

ABSTRACT: Background:Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death in males. Recent studies have reported aberrant expression of lncRNAs in prostate cancer. This study explores the role of LINC00261 in prostate cancer progression. Methods:The differentially expressed genes, transcription factors, and lncRNAs related to prostate cancer were predicted by bioinformatics analysis. Prostate cancer tissue samples and cell lines were collected for the determination of the expression of LINC00261 by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The binding capacity of LINC00261 to the transcription factor GATA6 was detected by RIP, and GATA6 binding to the DKK3 promoter region was assessed by ChIP. In addition, luciferase reporter system was used to verify whether LINC00261 was present at the DKK3 promoter. After gain- and loss-of function approaches, the effect of LINC00261 on prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo was assessed by the determination of cell proliferation, invasion and migration as well as angiogenesis. Results:LINC00261, GATA6, and DKK3 were poorly expressed in prostate cancer. LINC00261 could inhibit transcriptional expression of DKK3 by recruiting GATA6. Overexpression of LINC00261 inhibited prostate cancer cells proliferation, migration, and invasion as well as angiogenesis, which could be reversed by silencing DKK3. Furthermore, LINC00261 could also suppress the tumorigenicity of cancer cells in vivo. Conclusions:Our study demonstrates the inhibitory role of LINC00261 in prostate cancer progression, providing a novel biomarker for early detection of prostate cancer.

Project description:The incidence of melanoma, the most aggressive and life-threatening form of skin cancer, has significantly risen over recent decades. Therefore, it is essential to identify the mechanisms that underlie melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis and to explore novel and effective melanoma treatment strategies. Accumulating evidence s uggests that aberrantly expressed long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have vital functions in multiple cancers. However, lncRNA functions in melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis remain unclear. In this study, we investigated lncRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression profiles in primary melanomas, metastatic melanomas and normal skin samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. We used GSE15605 as the training set (n = 74) and GSE7553 as the validation set (n = 58). In three comparisons (primary melanoma versus normal skin, metastatic melanoma versus normal skin, and metastatic melanoma versus primary melanoma), 178, 295 and 48 lncRNAs and 847, 1758, and 295 mRNAs were aberrantly expressed, respectively. We performed Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses to examine the differentially expressed mRNAs, and potential core lncRNAs were predicted by lncRNA-mRNA co-expression networks. Based on our results, 15 lncRNAs and 144 mRNAs were significantly associated with melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis. A subsequent analysis suggested a critical role for a five-lncRNA signature during melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis. Low expression of U47924.27 was significantly associated with decreased survival of patients with melanoma. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to explore the expression patterns of lncRNAs and mRNAs during melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis by re-annotating microarray data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) microarray dataset. These findings reveal potential roles for lncRNAs during melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis and provide a rich candidate reservoir for future studies.
