MiR-29a-3p directly targets Smad nuclear interacting protein 1 and inhibits the migration and proliferation of cervical cancer HeLa cells.

ABSTRACT: Smad nuclear interacting protein 1 (SNIP1) is a nuclear protein and involved in essential biological processes. MicroRNAs are effective regulators of tumorigenesis and cancer progression via targeting multiple genes. In present study, we aimed to investigate the function of SNIP1 and identify novel miRNA-SNIP1 axis in the development of cervical cancer. The results showed for the first time that silencing of the SNIP1 gene inhibited the migration and proliferation in HeLa cells significantly. Bioinformatics analysis and dual luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-29a-3p could target 3' UTR of SNIP1 directly. The mRNA and protein expression levels of SNIP1 were negative regulated by miR-29a-3p according to the RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis, respectively. Furthermore, functional studies showed that over-expression of miR-29a-3p restrained HeLa cells migration and proliferation, and the mRNA expression of SNIP1 downstream genes (HSP27, c-Myc, and cyclin D1) were down-regulated by miR-29a-3p. Together, we concluded that miR-29a-3p suppressed the migration and proliferation in HeLa cells by directly targeting SNIP1. The newly identified miR-29a-3p/SNIP1 axis could provide new insight into the development of cervical cancer.

Project description:ObjectiveC1QTNF6 has been implicated as an essential component in multiple cellular and molecular preliminary event, including inflammation, glucose metabolism, endothelial cell modulation and carcinogenesis. However, the biological process and potential mechanism of C1QTNF6 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) are indefinite and remain to be elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the interaction among the traits of C1QTNF6 and LUAD pathologic process.MethodsRT-qPCR and western blot were conducted to determine the expression levels of C1QTNF6. RNA interference and overexpression of C1QTNF6 were constructed to identify the biological function of C1QTNF6 in cellular proliferative, migratory and invasive potentials in vitro. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was applied to identify the possible interaction between C1QTNF6 and miR-29a-3p. Moreover, RNA sequencing analysis of C1QTNF6 knockdown was performed to identify the potential regulatory pathways.ResultsC1QTNF6 was upregulated in stage I LUAD tissues compared with adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Concurrently, C1QTNF6 knockdown could remarkably inhibit cell proliferation, migratory and invasive abilities, while overexpression of C1QTNF6 presented opposite results. Additionally, miR-29a-3p may serve as an upstream regulator of C1QTNF6 and reduce the expression of C1QTNF6. Subsequent experiments showed that miR-29a-3p could decrease the cell mobility and proliferation positive cell rates, as well as reduce the migratory and invasive possibilities in LUAD cells via downregulating C1QTNF6. Moreover, RNA sequencing analysis demonstrated that the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway may participate in the process of C1QTNF6 regulating tumor progression.ConclusionOur study first demonstrated that downregulation of C1QTNF6 could inhibit tumorigenesis and progression in LUAD cells negatively regulated by miR-29a-3p. These consequences could reinforce our awareness and understanding of the underlying mechanism and provide a promising therapeutic target for LUAD.
