Preeclampsia-Associated lncRNA INHBA-AS1 Regulates the Proliferation, Invasion, and Migration of Placental Trophoblast Cells.

ABSTRACT: Preeclampsia is believed to be caused by impaired placentation with insufficient trophoblast invasion, leading to impaired uterine spiral artery remodeling and angiogenesis. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown. We recently carried out transcriptome profiling of placental long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and identified 383 differentially expressed lncRNAs in early-onset severe preeclampsia. Here, we are reporting our identification of lncRNA INHBA-AS1 as a potential causal factor of preeclampsia and its downstream pathways that may be involved in placentation. We found that INHBA-AS1 was upregulated in patients and positively correlated with clinical severity. We systematically searched for potential INHBA-AS1-binding transcription factors and their targets in databases and found that the targets were enriched with differentially expressed genes in the placentae of patients. We further demonstrated that the lncRNA INHBA-AS1 inhibited the invasion and migration of trophoblast cells through restraining the transcription factor CENPB from binding to the promoter of TNF receptor-associated factor 1 (TRAF1). Therefore, we have identified the dysregulated pathway "INHBA-AS1-CENPB-TRAF1" as a contributor to the pathogenesis of preeclampsia through prohibiting the proliferation, invasion, and migration of trophoblasts during placentation.

Project description:BackgroundRecent studies have shown that the abnormal expression of long-chain non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can significantly affect the biological function of trophoblast cells and lead to the occurrence of preeclampsia (PE). This study explores the expression of lncRNA LINC00922 in PE and its effect on the function of placental trophoblast cells, along with the corresponding molecular mechanism, providing a theoretical basis and molecular target for understanding the occurrence, early diagnosis, and targeted therapy of PE.MethodsFluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of LINC00922 in 30 cases of PE tissues and normal tissues. The CCK-8 assay, clone formation experiment, and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of LINC00922 knockdown or overexpression on the proliferation, colony formation, and cell cycle of HTR-8/SVneo placental trophoblast cells. The Transwell assay was used to detect the effects of LINC00922 knockdown or overexpression on the invasion and migration of HTR 8/SVneo cells, and western blot was used to detect the expression of cell cycle-related proteins and invasion and migration-related proteins.ResultsLINC00922 was highly expressed in PE tissues. Knockdown of LINC00922 significantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration of HTR-8/SVneo cells, along with colony formation and the ability to induce cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase. However, overexpression of LINC00922 had the opposite effect. Knockdown or overexpression of LINC00922 significantly affected the expression of cell cycle-related proteins cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), G1/S-specific cyclin-D1 (Cyclin D1), p21, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9), vimentin, and E-cadherin, but had no significant effect on the expression of matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP-2).ConclusionsLINC00922 was highly expressed in PE, and functional experiments showed that LINC00922 could significantly affect the proliferation and invasion abilities of placental trophoblast cells, suggesting that LINC00922 may play an important role in the occurrence, early diagnosis, and treatment of PE.

Project description:BackgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pervasively transcribed in genome and emerging as a new player in tumorigenesis due to their functions in transcriptional, posttranscriptional and epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation. As the most frequent malignancy and the foremost source of cancer mortality, lung cancer is a heterogeneous disorder. The most common type of lung cancer is Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), occupying 85% of the total cases, and the main subtypes of NSCLC include lung adenocarcinoma (LAD), large cell carcinoma (LCC), and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Recently, numerous lncRNAs have been reported to be strongly linked to NSCLC. In the present study, we found that a new lncRNA CBR3-AS1 is highly expressed in lung cancer. In addition, we also examined the expression of lncRNA CBR3-AS1 in 60 of LADs, 40 of LCCs and 40 of LSCCs patient samples, finding that CBR3-AS1 was specificity highly expressed in LAD cancer tissues. Mechanically, we discovered that CBR3-AS1 could regulate the proliferation, migration and invasion of LAD cells through targeting Wnt/β-catenin signaling.MethodsReal-time PCR, RNA-pulldown, RIP, western blotting, lentivirus transfection, luciferase reporter assays, cell proliferation assays, colony formation assays, wound healing scratch assays and transwell assays were employed to examine the relationship between lncRNA CBR3-AS1 and its regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in LAD cells.ResultsLncRNA CBR3-AS1 is highly-expressed in LAD and cell lines. LncRNA CBR3-AS1 shows physical association with β-catenin. CBR3-AS1 could facilitate Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation thought promoting nuclear localization of β-catenin. CBR3-AS1 promotes LAD cell proliferation, migration and invasion by targeting Wnt/β-catenin signaling.ConclusionIt can be found that a new functional lncRNA CBR3-AS1 could promote nuclear localization of β-catenin so as to facilitate Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation and regulate the proliferation, migration and invasion of LAD cells.
