Long noncoding RNA LINC01578 drives colon cancer metastasis through a positive feedback loop with the NF-?B/YY1 axis.

ABSTRACT: Metastasis accounts for poor prognosis of cancers and related deaths. Accumulating evidence has shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in several types of cancer. However, which lncRNAs contribute to metastasis of colon cancer is still largely unknown. In this study, we found that lncRNA LINC01578 was correlated with metastasis and poor prognosis of colon cancer. LINC01578 was upregulated in colon cancer, associated with metastasis, advanced clinical stages, poor overall survival, disease-specific survival, and disease-free survival. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays revealed that LINC01578 enhanced colon cancer cell viability and mobility in vitro and colon cancer liver metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B) and Yin Yang 1 (YY1) directly bound to the LINC01578 promoter, enhanced its activity, and activated LINC01578 expression. LINC01578 was shown to be a chromatin-bound lncRNA, which directly bound NFKBIB promoter. Furthermore, LINC01578 interacted with and recruited EZH2 to NFKBIB promoter and further repressed NFKBIB expression, thereby activating NF-?B signaling. Through activation of NF-?B, LINC01578 further upregulated YY1 expression. Through activation of the NF-?B/YY1 axis, LINC01578 in turn enhanced its own promoter activity, suggesting that LINC01578 and NF-?B/YY1 formed a positive feedback loop. Blocking NF-?B signaling abolished the oncogenic roles of LINC01578 in colon cancer. Furthermore, the expression levels of LINC01578, NFKBIB, and YY1 were correlated in clinical tissues. Collectively, this study demonstrated that LINC01578 promoted colon cancer metastasis via forming a positive feedback loop with NF-?B/YY1 and suggested that LINC01578 represents a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for colon cancer metastasis.

Project description:Muscles of sarcopenic people show hypotrophic myofibers and infiltration with adipose and, at later stages, fibrotic tissue. The origin of infiltrating adipocytes resides in fibro-adipogenic precursors and nonmyogenic mesenchymal progenitor cells, and in satellite cells, the adult stem cells of skeletal muscles. Myoblasts and brown adipocytes share a common Myf5+ progenitor cell: the cell fate depends on levels of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7), a TGF-β family member. S100B, a Ca2+-binding protein of the EF-hand type, is expressed at relatively high levels in myoblasts from sarcopenic humans and exerts anti-myogenic effects via NF-κB-dependent inhibition of MyoD, a myogenic transcription factor acting upstream of the essential myogenic factor, myogenin. Adipogenesis requires high levels of ROS, and myoblasts of sarcopenic subjects show elevated ROS levels. Here we show that: (1) ROS overproduction in myoblasts results in upregulation of S100B levels via NF-κB activation; and (2) ROS/NF-κB-induced accumulation of S100B causes myoblast transition into brown adipocytes. S100B activates an NF-κB/Ying Yang 1 axis that negatively regulates the promyogenic and anti-adipogenic miR-133 with resultant accumulation of the brown adipogenic transcription regulator, PRDM-16. S100B also upregulates BMP-7 via NF-κB/Ying Yang 1 with resultant BMP-7 autocrine activity. Interestingly, myoblasts from sarcopenic humans show features of brown adipocytes. We also show that S100B levels and NF-κB activity are elevated in brown adipocytes obtained by culturing myoblasts in adipocyte differentiation medium and that S100B knockdown or NF-κB inhibition in myoblast-derived brown adipocytes reconverts them into fusion-competent myoblasts. At last, interstitial cells and, unexpectedly, a subpopulation of myofibers in muscles of geriatric but not young mice co-express S100B and the brown adipocyte marker, uncoupling protein-1. These results suggest that S100B is an important intracellular molecular signal regulating Myf5+ progenitor cell differentiation into fusion-competent myoblasts or brown adipocytes depending on its levels.
