MiR-4310 induced by SP1 targets PTEN to promote glioma progression

ABSTRACT:

Background

miRNAs have been reported to be involved in multiple biological processes of gliomas. Here, we aimed to analyze miR-4310 and its correlation genes involved in the progression of human glioma.

Methods

miR-4310 expression levels were examined in glioma and non-tumor brain (NB) tissues. The molecular mechanisms of miR-4310 expression and its effects on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were explored using 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide, Transwell chamber, Boyden chamber, and western blot analyses, as well as its effect on tumorigenesis was explored in vivo in nude mice. The relationships between miR-4310, SP1, phosphatase, and tensin homolog (PTEN) were explored using chromatin immunoprecipitation, agarose gel electrophoresis, electrophoresis mobility shift, and dual-luciferase reporter gene assays.

Results

miR-4310 expression was upregulated in glioma tissues compared to that in NB tissues. Overexpressed miR-4310 promoted glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro, as well as tumorigenesis in vivo. The inhibition of miR-4310 expression was sufficient to reverse these results. Mechanistic analyses revealed that miR-4310 promoted glioma progression through the PI3K/AKT pathway by targeting PTEN. Additionally, SP1 induced the expression of miR-4310 by binding to its promoter region.

Conclusion

miR-4310 promotes the progression of glioma by targeting PTEN and activating the PI3K/AKT pathway; meanwhile, the expression of miR-4310 was induced by SP1.

Long noncoding RNA LINC00511 induced by SP1 accelerates the glioma progression through targeting miR-124-3p/CCND2 axis.

Project description:Mounting evidence suggests the vital roles of long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) in the glioma. However, the role of LINC00511 in gliomagenesis is still uncovered. Here, in this study, we aim to investigate the effects of LINC00511 on the glioma cancer phenotype and its deepgoing mechanism. Results indicated that LINC00511 was up-regulated in glioma tissues and cell lines, moreover its overexpression positively correlated with the poor prognosis and advanced pathological stages. For the upstream regulation, LINC00511 was epigenetically up-regulated by transcription factor specificity protein 1 (SP1). Gain and loss of functional experiments demonstrated that LINC00511 promoted the proliferation and invasion of glioma cells in vitro. The knockdown of LINC00511 repressed the tumour growth in vivo. Mechanistically, LINC00511 positively regulated the CCND2 expression via competitively sponging with miR-124-3p. Overall, our finding illuminates that LINC00511 is induced by SP1 and accelerates the glioma progression through targeting miR-124-3p/CCND2 axis, constructing the SP1/LINC00511/miR-124-3p/CCND2 axis.

SP1-upregulated LBX2-AS1 promotes the progression of glioma by targeting the miR-491-5p/LIF axis.

Project description:Background: Mounting evidences have shown the importance of lncRNAs in carcinogenesis and cancer progression. LBX2-AS1 is identified as an oncogenic lncRNA that is abnormally expressed in gastric cancer and lung cancer samples. This study aims to explore the potential role of LBX2-AS1 in regulating proliferation and EMT in glioma, and the underlying mechanism. Methods: Relative levels of LBX2-AS1 in glioma samples and cell lines were detected by qRT-PCR and FISH. In vivo and in vitro regulatory effects of LBX2-AS1 on proliferation and EMT were examined in the xenograft glioma model and glioma cells. The interaction between SP1 and LBX2-AS1 was assessed by ChIP. Through bioinformatic analyses, dual-luciferase reporter assay, RIP and Western blot, the regulation of LBX2-AS1 and miR-491-5p on the target gene LIF was identified. Results: LBX2-AS1 was upregulated in glioma samples and cell lines, and its transcription was promoted by binding to the transcription factor SP1. As a lncRNA mainly distributed in the cytoplasm, LBX2-AS1 sponge miR-491-5p to further upregulate LIF. The subsequent activated LIF/STAT3 signaling was responsible for promoting proliferation and EMT in glioma. Conclusion: LBX2-AS1 is upregulated by SP1 in glioma, which promotes the progression of glioma by targeting the miR-491-5p/LIF axis. In view of this, LBX2-AS1 is suggested as a novel diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target of glioma.

UBDP1 pseudogene and UBD network competitively bind miR‑6072 to promote glioma progression.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that pseudogenes play crucial roles in various cancers, yet their functions and regulatory mechanisms in glioma pathogenesis remain enigmatic. In the present study, a novel pseudogene was identified, UBDP1, which is significantly upregulated in glioblastoma and positively correlated with the expression of its parent gene, UBD. Additionally, high levels of these paired genes are linked with a poor prognosis for patients. In the present study, clinical samples were collected followed by various analyses including microarray for long non‑coding RNAs, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR, fluorescence in situ hybridization and western blotting. Cell lines were authenticated and cultured then subjected to various assays for proliferation, migration, and invasion to investigate the molecular mechanisms. Bioinformatic tools identified miRNA targets, and luciferase reporter assays validated these interactions. A tumor xenograft model in mice was used for in vivo studies. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that UBDP1, localized in the cytoplasm, functions as a tumor‑promoting factor influencing cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor growth. Mechanistic investigations have indicated that UBDP1 exerts its oncogenic effects by decoying miR‑6072 from UBD mRNA, thus forming a competitive endogenous RNA network, which results in the enhanced oncogenic activity of UBD. The present findings offered new insights into the role of pseudogenes in glioma progression, suggesting that targeting the UBDP1/miR‑6072/UBD network may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for glioma patients.

CircPCMTD1 Acts as the Sponge of miR-224-5p to Promote Glioma Progression.

Project description:Glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system with high morbidity and mortality. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are abundant non-coding RNAs, which contribute to tumor progression by competing with other endogenous RNAs such as microRNA (miRNA). MiRNA are a class of small non-coding RNAs, which interrupt the translation of target mRNAs. CircPCMTD1 (hsa-circ-0001801) is a newly discovered circRNA that was found to be significantly upregulated in glioma. However, its function is unclear. In this study, circPCMTD1 upregulation promoted the cell viability, migration and invasion dramatically, while the inhibition of circPCMTD1 led to a significant reduction of tumor growth in vivo. MiRNAs microarray analyses on circPCMTD1 silencing models in U251 and U118MG cells were performed, and the results suggested that circPCMTD1 knockdown could upregulate the expression of miR-224-5p and downregulate the expression of mTOR, one of miR-224-5p targets, in both cell lines. According to the prediction from circular RNA interactome and Targetscan, there was a complementary sequence in circPCMTD1 for miR-224-5p. Dual-luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that circPCMTD1 were targets of miR-224-5p. RIP assay was also performed to further confirm their directly interaction. Overexpression of miR-224-5p inhibited the viability and proliferation, migration, and invasion of U251 and U118MG glioma cells. In conclusion, circPCMTD1 could contribute to the promotion of glioma progression, and it may serve as the sponge of miR-224-5p to exert its function.

MiR-21 and MiR-155 promote non-small cell lung cancer progression by downregulating SOCS1, SOCS6, and PTEN.

Project description:Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-associated death worldwide. MiR-21 and miR-155 are the most amplified miRNAs in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), and are critical promoters of NSCLC progression. However, it remains unclear how miR-21 and miR-155 induce cancer progression, and whether these miRNAs share common targets, such as tumor suppressor genes required to prevent NSCLC. Here we report that miR-21 and miR-155 levels are elevated in NSCLC and are proportional to the progression of the disease. In addition, miR-21 and miR-155 share nearly 30% of their predicted target genes, including SOCS1, SOCS6, and PTEN, three tumor suppressor genes often silenced in NSCLC. Consequently, antagonizing miR-21, miR-155 or both potently inhibited tumor progression in xenografted animal models of NSCLC. Treatment with miR-21 and miR-155 inhibitors in combination was always more effective against NSCLC than treatment with a single inhibitor. Furthermore, levels of miR-21 and miR-155 expression correlated inversely with overall and disease-free survival of NSCLC patients. Our findings reveal that miR-21 and miR-155 promote the development of NSCLC, in part by downregulating SOCS1, SOCS6, and PTEN. Combined inhibition of miR-21 and miR-155 could improve the treatment of NSCLC.

Microglia/macrophages promote glioma progression.

Project description:Gliomas are highly aggressive and accompanied by numerous microglia/macrophages (MG/MP) in and about the tumor. Little is known about what MG/MP do in this setting, or whether modulating MG/MP activation might affect glioma progression. Here, we used a glioma-microglia in culture system to establish the effects the tumor and microglia have on each other. We assessed glioma progression in vivo after MG/MP ablation or in the setting of exaggerated MG/MP activation. We show that glioma cells activate microglia but inhibit their phagocytic activities. Local ablation of MG/MP in vivo decreased tumor size and improved survival curves. Conversely, pharmacological activation of MG/MP increased glioma size through stimulating tumor proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis. In agreement with recent reports, expression of the chemokine CCL21 is enhanced after MG/MP activation and correlates with tumor growth. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that inhibition of MG/MP activation may constitute a new and effective contribution towards suppressing glioma proliferation.

Exosomal circRNA BTG2 derived from RBP-J overexpressed-macrophages inhibits glioma progression via miR-25-3p/PTEN.

Project description:Macrophage-derived exosomes (Mφ-Exos) are involved in tumor progression, but its role in glioma is not fully understood. RBP-J is related to macrophage activation. In this study, we assess the role of exosomes derived from RBP-J-overexpressed macrophages (RBP-J OE Mφ-Exos) in glioma. The circular RNA (circRNA) profiles in RBP-J OE Mφ-Exos and THP-1-like macrophages (WT Mφ)-Exos were evaluated using circRNA microarray. Then the functions of Mφ-Exo-circRNA in glioma cells were assessed via CCK-8, EdU, Transwell invasion, and nude mouse assays. Besides, luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation, and Pearson's correlation analysis were adopted to confirm interactions. We found that circRNA BTG (circBTG2) is upregulated in RBP-J OE Mφ-Exos compared to WT Mφ-Exos. RBP-J OE Mφ-Exos co-culture and circBTG2 overexpression inhibited proliferation and invasion of glioma cells, whereas circBTG2 knockdown promotes tumor growth in vivo. The effects of RBP-J OE Mφ-Exos on glioma cells can be reversed by the circBTG2 knockdown. In conclusions, Exo-circBTG2 secreted from RBP-J OE Mφ inhibits tumor progression through the circBTG2/miR-25-3p/PTEN pathway, and circBTG2 is probably a diagnostic biomarker and potential target for glioma therapy.

CircRNA NALCN acts as an miR-493-3p sponge to regulate PTEN expression and inhibit glioma progression.

Project description:BackgroundAn increasing number of studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of tumor progression. Therefore, we explored the expression characteristics, function, and related mechanism of the newly identified circNALCN in glioma.MethodsRNA sequencing was used to analyze the expression profiles of circRNAs in brain tissue from five glioma cases and four normal controls. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was implemented to examine the levels of circNALCN, miR-493-3p, and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN). Cell counting kit 8 assays were performed to analyze cell proliferation, and cell migration was assessed by the wound healing test and Transwell assay. Dual-luciferase reporter, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and RNA pulldown assays were performed to confirm the role of circNALCN as an miR-493-3p sponge, weakening the inhibitory effect of miR-493-3p on target PTEN expression.ResultsThe downregulated expression of circNALCN was observed in both glioma tissues and cell lines. CircNALCN expression was negatively correlated with World Health Organization grade and overall survival in patients with glioma. Functionally, the overexpression of circNALCN significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of glioma cells, whereas miR-493-3p mimics counteracted these effects. The mechanistic analysis demonstrated that circNALCN acted as a competing endogenous RNA for miR-493-3p to relieve the repressive effects of miR-493-3p on its target, PTEN, suppressing glioma tumorigenesis.ConclusionsCircNALCN inhibits the progression of glioma through the miR-493-3p/PTEN axis, providing a developable biomarker and therapeutic target for glioma patients.

SP1-induced lncRNA TINCR overexpression contributes to colorectal cancer progression by sponging miR-7-5p.

Project description:Mounting evidences have indicated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in human diseases, especially in cancers. Recently, TINCR was proposed to be involved in tumor progression. However, its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains elusive. In our study, we found that SP1-induced TINCR was significantly upregulated in CRC tissues and cell lines. Moreover, cox multivariate survival analysis revealed that high TINCR was an independent predictor of poor overall survival (OS). Functionally, knockdown of TINCR obviously suppressed CRC cells proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro, and inhibited CRC cells growth and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, we identified TINCR could act as a miR-7-5p sponge using RNA pull down, luciferase reporter and RIP assays. Furthermore, we showed that TINCR might promote CRC progression via miR-7-5p-mediated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Lastly, we revealed that plasma TINCR expression was upregulated in CRC when compared to healthy controls and could be a promising diagnostic biomarker for CRC. Based on above results, our data indicated that TINCR might serve as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for CRC.

SP1-induced HOXD-AS1 promotes malignant progression of cholangiocarcinoma by regulating miR-520c-3p/MYCN.

Project description:The purpose of this article is to explore the function and mechanism of HOXD-AS1 in cholangiocarcinoma. TCGA, StarBase and JASPAR were applied to predict the differential expression and molecular mechanism. The qRT-PCR was conducted to detect molecular expression. The effect of HOXD-AS1 on tumor proliferation, metastasis and stemness was measured through corresponding experiments. ChIP, luciferase reporter and RIP assays were implemented to explore the regulatory mechanism of HOXD-AS1 in CCA. In this study, HOXD-AS1 expression was significantly upregulated in CCA tissues and cells compared with control groups, respectively. Increased HOXD-AS1 was markedly correlated with lymph node invasion, advanced TNM stage and poor survival of CCA patients. Moreover, HOXD-AS1 was confirmed to be an unfavorable independent prognostic factor for CCA patients. Functionally, gain- and loss-of-function experiments demonstrated that HOXD-AS1 facilitated tumor proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT, stemness and drug resistance in vitro and in vivo. For the mechanism, transcription factor SP1-induced HOXD-AS1 upregulated oncogene MYCN through competitively binding to miR-520c-3p. Furthermore, HOXD-AS1-induced malignant phenotypes were rescued by interfering miR-520c-3p and MYCN, respectively. SP1/HOXD-AS1/miR-520c-3p/MYCN plays a vital role in initiation and progression of CCA, and HOXD-AS1 is expected to be an efficient biomarker and therapeutic target.
