Circulating non-coding RNA cluster predicted the tumorigenesis and development of colorectal carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is the most significant plasma biomarker in colorectal cancer (CRC), which is mainly used to diagnose and monitor the recurrence of CRC. However, due to the low sensitivity of CEA, it is more recommended for postoperative surveillance rather than early diagnosis. It is necessary to find efficient biomarkers for CRC. In this study, the expression of plasma non-coding RNAs was confirmed in three independent cohorts with total 1201 participants. First, 12 non-coding RNAs were screened from 9 plasma samples by using microarray. The expression of selected non-coding RNAs was further validated by multiphase detection and risk score analysis. We found that miR-20b-5p, miR-329-3p, miR-374b-5p, miR-503-5p, XLOC_001120 and ENSG00000243766.2 were significantly elevated in CRC plasma, and the AUC in training and validation set was 0.996 and 0.954, respectively. Moreover, miR-20b-5p, miR-329-3p and miR-503-5p were found elevated in plasma from larger tumors (5 cm as the cutoff) in CRC patients, and the merged AUC in training and validation set was 0.896 and 0.881. In conclusion, a panel of 6 non-coding RNAs showed their important clinical value for the early diagnosis of CRC. Among, miR-20b-5p, miR-329-3p and miR-503-5p might be the potential markers for evaluating larger tumor size of CRC.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide with a low 5-year survival rate. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) double homeobox A pseudogene 8 (DUXAP8) is an oncogene and a potential biomarker in various tumors, such as ovarian, colorectal and non-small-cell lung cancer. However, the function and molecular mechanism underlying DUXAP8 in HCC progression is not completely understood. The expression of DUXAP8, microRNA (miR)-9-3p and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) in HCC tissues and cells was detected via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The expression levels of IGF1R and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-associated proteins (Snail, Slug, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin) were assessed via western blotting. The effects of DUXAP8, miR-9-3p and IGF1R on proliferation, migration and invasion were examined by conducting Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell assays, respectively. The interaction between miR-9-3p and DUXAP8 or IGF1R was predicted using StarBase or TargetScan, and further assessed using dual luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. DUXAP8 and IGF1R were upregulated and miR-9-3p was downregulated in HCC tissues and cells compared with adjacent healthy tissues and a normal liver cell line, respectively. miR-9-3p overexpression decreased the protein expression level of IGF1R, and miR-9-3p knockdown enhanced the protein expression level of IGF1R in HCC cells compared with the corresponding control groups. Moreover, compared with the corresponding control groups, DUXAP8 knockdown and miR-9-3p overexpression increased E-cadherin protein expression levels, and decreased Snail, Slug, N-cadherin and vimentin protein expression levels. However, miR-9-3p inhibitor and IGF1R overexpression reversed DUXAP8 knockdown- and miR-9-3p overexpression-induced effects, respectively. In addition, compared with the corresponding control groups, DUXAP8 knockdown and miR-9-3p overexpression suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion, which was reversed by miR-9-3p inhibitor and IGF1R overexpression, respectively. Moreover, miR-9-3p as the target of DUXAP8 and IGF1R as the target of miR-9-3p were verified in HCC cells. lncRNA DUXAP8 contributed to HCC tumorigenesis via the miR-9-3p/IGF1R axis, providing a novel therapeutic approach for HCC diagnosis and treatment.
