NF-?B-mediated lncRNA AC007271.3 promotes carcinogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma by regulating miR-125b-2-3p/Slug.

ABSTRACT: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral cancer. The molecular mechanisms of this disease are not fully understood. Our previous studies confirmed that dysregulated function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) AC007271.3 was associated with a poor prognosis and overexpression of AC007271.3 promoted cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and inhibited cell apoptosis in vitro, and promoted tumor growth in vivo. However, the underlying mechanisms of AC007271.3 dysregulation remained obscure. In this study, our investigation showed that AC007271.3 functioned as competing endogenous RNA by binding to miR-125b-2-3p and by destabilizing primary miR-125b-2, resulted in the upregulating expression of Slug, which is a direct target of miR-125b-2-3p. Slug also inhibited the expression of E-cadherin but N-cadherin, vimentin, and ?-catenin had no obvious change. The expression of AC007271.3 was promoted by the canonical nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) pathway. Taken together, these results suggested that the classical NF-?B pathway-activated AC007271.3 regulates EMT by miR-125b-2-3p/Slug/E-cadherin axis to promote the development of OSCC, implicating it as a novel potential target for therapeutic intervention in this disease.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia and is a serious social and medical problem threatening human health. The present study investigated the effect and underlying action mechanism of triptolide (Tri) on AD progression. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting analysis were used to determine the changes in RNA expression and levels of NF-κB signaling pathway proteins before and after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction. Nucleocytoplasmic separation experiments determined the intracellular localization of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1). A dual-luciferase assay was used to analyze the binding between NEAT1 and microRNA (miRNA/miR)-361 or tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) and miR-361-3p and RNA pull-down was used to analyze the binding between NEAT1 and miR-361-3p. Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry and ELISA were used to detect the effects of interaction between Tri and NEAT1/miR-361-3p/TRAF2 on cell viability, apoptosis and inflammatory factor levels, respectively. The results showed that LPS-mediated human microglial clone 3 cell line (HMC3) viability decreased and apoptosis and inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18 and TNF-α) increased. Tri inhibited LPS-mediated effects in a dose-dependent manner by downregulating NEAT1 expression. NEAT1 is highly expressed in the cytoplasm and reduces the transcription and translation of downstream TRAF2 by acting as a competitive endogenous RNA that adsorbs miR-361-3p. LPS-mediated HMC3 cell injury, inflammation and activation of NF-κB signaling were partially reversed in presence of Tri. The miR-361-3p mimic promoted the Tri effect and overexpression of (ov)-NEAT1 partially reversed the Tri-miR-361-3p combined effect. The effects of ov-NEAT1 were partially attenuated by small interfering (si)-TRAF2. Overall, Tri inhibited the LPS-induced decrease in viability, increase in apoptosis and inflammation and activation of NF-κB signaling in HMC3 cells. Tri regulation affected the NEAT1/miR-361-3p/TRAF2 axis. These findings suggested a potential therapeutic role for Tri in the clinical management of AD by modulating this molecular axis.
