TV-circRGPD6 Nanoparticle Suppresses Breast Cancer Stem Cell-Mediated Metastasis via the miR-26b/YAF2 Axis.

ABSTRACT: Metastatic tumor is a major contributor to death caused by breast cancer. However, effective and targeted therapy for metastatic breast cancer remains to be developed. Initially, we exploited a feasible biological rationale of the association between metastatic status and tumor-initiating properties in metastatic breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). Further, we explored that circular RNA RANBP2-like and GRIP domain-containing protein 6 (circRGPD6) regulates the maintenance of stem cell-like characteristics of BCSCs. Targeted expression of circRGPD6 via human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter-driven VP16-GAL4-woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE)-integrated systemic amplifier delivery composite vector (TV-circRGPD6) significantly inhibited expression of stem-cell marker CD44 and increased expression of the DNA damage marker p-H2AX. Furthermore, we determined TV-circRGPD6, alone or synergized with docetaxel, displays significant therapeutic responses on metastatic BCSCs. Mechanistic analyses exploited that TV-circRGPD6 suppresses BCSC-mediated metastasis via the microRNA (miR)-26b/YAF2 axis. Clinically, for the first time, we observed that expressions of circRGPD6 and YAF2 predict a favorable prognosis in patients with breast cancer, whereas expression of miR-26b is an unfavorable prognostic factor. Overall, we have developed a TV-circRGPD6 nanoparticle that selectively expresses circRGPD6 in metastatic BCSCs to eradicate breast cancer metastasis, therefore providing a novel avenue to treat breast cancers.

Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate suppresses bladder cancer progression by modulating the miR-26b/Nox4 axis.

Project description:Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MI), a magnesium salt of 18α-GA stereoisomer, has been reported to exert efficient hepatoprotective activity. However, its effect on bladder cancer remains unclear. The study explored the effects of MI on the growth, colony formation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration of bladder cancer cells (HTB9 and BIU87 cells). Typical apoptotic changes of bladder cancer cells such as nuclear concentration and fragmentation were observed using Hoechst staining. The effects of MI on the expression levels of microRNA-26b (miR-26b), NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4), nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB), and hHypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were detected using qRT-PCR and Western blot. The potential targets of miR-26b were predicted using Targetscan, and their interactions were determined by luciferase reporter assay. A xenograft mouse model was established to evaluate the anti-tumor effects of MI in vivo. MI significantly suppressed the proliferation, colony formation, invasion, and migration and induced apoptosis of human bladder cancer cells, and MI significantly increased miR-26b expression. Nox 4 was identified to be a direct target of miR-26b. MiR-26b mimics significantly decreased the relative luciferase activity of wild type (WT) Nox 4 but not mutant type (MUT) Nox4. Meanwhile, MI markedly downregulated the expression levels of Nox4, NF-κB, and HIF-1α both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, MI inhibited xenograft tumor growth in vivo and decreased the expression of Nox4, NF-κB, and HIF-1α. Overall, MI showed a potent anti-tumor effect against bladder cancer partially via modulating the miR-26b/Nox4 axis.

miR-7 suppresses brain metastasis of breast cancer stem-like cells by modulating KLF4.

Project description:Despite significant improvement in survival rates of patients with breast cancer, prognosis of metastatic disease is still dismal. Cancer stem-like cells (CSC) are considered to play a role in metastatic progression of breast cancer; however, the exact pathologic role of CSCs is yet to be elucidated. In this report, we found that CSCs (CD24(-)/CD44(+)/ESA(+)) isolated from metastatic breast cell lines are significantly more metastatic than non-CSC populations in an organ-specific manner. The results of our microRNA (miRNA) profile analysis for these cells revealed that CSCs that are highly metastatic to bone and brain expressed significantly lower level of miR-7 and that this miRNA was capable of modulating one of the essential genes for induced pluripotent stem cell, KLF4. Interestingly, high expression of KLF4 was significantly and inversely correlated to brain but not bone metastasis-free survival of patients with breast cancer, and we indeed found that the expression of miR-7 significantly suppressed the ability of CSCs to metastasize to brain but not to bone in our animal model. We also examined the expression of miR-7 and KLF4 in brain-metastatic lesions and found that these genes were significantly down- or upregulated, respectively, in the tumor cells in brain. Furthermore, the results of our in vitro experiments indicate that miR-7 attenuates the abilities of invasion and self-renewal of CSCs by modulating KLF4 expression. These results suggest that miR-7 and KLF4 may serve as biomarkers or therapeutic targets for brain metastasis of breast cancer.

Breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 up-regulates miR-146, which suppresses breast cancer metastasis.

Project description:Breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) is a predominantly nuclear protein that differentially regulates expression of multiple genes, leading to suppression of metastasis without blocking orthotopic tumor growth in multiple human and murine cancer cells of diverse origins. We hypothesized that miR-146 may be involved in the ability of BRMS1 to supress metastasis because miR-146 expression is altered by BRMS1 and because BRMS1 and miR-146 are both associated with decreased signaling through the nuclear factor-kappaB pathway. BRMS1 significantly up-regulates miR-146a by 6- to 60-fold in metastatic MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435 cells, respectively, and miR-146b by 40-fold in MDA-MB-435 as measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. Transduction of miR-146a or miR-146b into MDA-MB-231 down-regulated expression of epidermal growth factor receptor, inhibited invasion and migration in vitro, and suppressed experimental lung metastasis by 69% and 84%, respectively (mean +/- SE: empty vector = 39 +/- 6, miR-146a = 12 +/- 1, miR-146b = 6 +/- 1). These results further support the recent notion that modulating the levels of miR-146a or miR-146b could have a therapeutic potential to suppress breast cancer metastasis.

Nanoparticle Delivery of miR-708 Mimetic Impairs Breast Cancer Metastasis.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients exhibit the worst clinical outcome due to its aggressive clinical course, higher rate of recurrence, and a conspicuous lack of FDA-approved targeted therapies. Here, we show that multilayered nanoparticles (NPs) carrying the metastasis suppressor microRNA miR-708 (miR708-NP) localize to orthotopic primary TNBC, and efficiently deliver the miR-708 cargo to reduce lung metastasis. Using a SOX2/OCT4 promoter reporter, we identified a population of miR-708low cancer cells with tumor-initiating properties, enhanced metastatic potential, and marked sensitivity to miR-708 treatment. In vivo, miR708-NP directly targeted the SOX2/OCT4-mCherry+ miR-708low tumor cells to impair metastasis. Together, our preclinical findings provide a mechanism-based antimetastatic therapeutic approach for TNBC, with a marked potential to generate miR-708 replacement therapy for high-risk TNBC patients in the clinic. To our knowledge, this gold nanoparticle-based delivery of microRNA mimetic is the first oligonucleotide-based targeted therapy for TNBC.

lncRNA MALAT1/miR‑26a/26b/ST8SIA4 axis mediates cell invasion and migration in breast cancer cell lines.

Project description:Metastasis‑associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is a long non‑coding RNA that is overexpressed in various human cancers, including breast cancer. Evidence has associated the function of the α‑2,8‑sialyltransferase (ST8SIA) family with breast cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the potential roles of MALAT1 in breast cancer development and progression using analyses of both breast cancer tissues and cell lines. The mRNA levels of MALAT1, microRNA (miR)‑26a/26b and ST8SIA4 were detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR) and the protein level of ST8SIA4 was assessed by western blot analysis. Cell proliferation, invasion and migration were detected by CCK‑8, wound healing and Transwell assays, respectively. Interactions between MALAT1 and miR‑26a/26b were assessed using fluorescence in situ hybridization, RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays. Herein, different levels of MALAT1 were primarily observed in human breast cancer samples and cells. Upregulated MALAT1 was a crucial predictor of poor breast cancer prognosis. Altered MALAT1 modulated cell progression in breast cancer. Moreover, miR‑26a/26b was confirmed as a direct regulator of MALAT1, and ST8SIA4 was predicted as a target of miR‑26a/26b. Functional analysis in human breast cancer cell lines demonstrated that MALAT1 modulated breast cancer cell tumorigenicity by acting as a competing endogenous lncRNA (ceRNA) to regulate ST8SIA4 levels by sponging miR‑26a/26b. The identification of the MALAT1/miR‑26a/26b/ST8SIA4 axis which contributes to breast cancer progression may constitute a potential new therapeutic target.

MiR-519d suppresses breast cancer tumorigenesis and metastasis via targeting MMP3.

Project description:Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cause of death in women throughout the world. Although microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as novel regulators in carcinogenesis, there are still abundant hidden treasure needed to be excavated. In the present study, we found that miR-519d expression was remarkably decreased in both human BC tissues and MCF-7 cells. CCK8 and 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation. Wound-healing and transwell assays were performed for detection of cell migration and invasion. The results demonstrated miR-519d overexpression dramatically suppressed MCF-7 cells proliferation, migration and invasion. While downregulation of miR-519d by miR-519d inhibitor substantially increased MCF-7 cell carcinogenesis. Further analysis identified Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3) as a direct target of miR-519d. QRT-PCR and western blot results indicated the correlative expression of miR-519d and MMP3 in BC tissues and MCF-7 cells. In summary, our data uncovered the novel molecular interaction between miR-519d and MMP3, indicating a therapeutic strategy of miR-519d for BC.

GATA6 suppresses migration and metastasis by regulating the miR-520b/CREB1 axis in gastric cancer.

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are tightly linked to each other in tumor development and progression, but their interactions in gastric cancer (GC) metastasis remain elusive. Here we report a novel suppressive role of GATA6 in inhibiting GC metastasis by transactivating miR-520b. We found that GATA6 expression was significantly downregulated in metastatic GC cells and tissues and that its downregulation was correlated with a poor GC prognosis. Overexpression of GATA6 suppressed GC cell migration, invasion and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that miR-520b is a direct transcriptional target of GATA6. Moreover, miR-520b expression was positively correlated with GATA6 expression in GC tissues, and ectopic expression of miR-520b inhibited the migration and invasion of GC cells. Furthermore, cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1) was identified as a direct and functional target of miR-520b, and GATA6 could suppress GC cell migration and metastasis via miR-520b-mediated repression of CREB1. Downregulation of GATA6 and miR-520b may partly account for the overexpression of CREB1 in GC. In conclusion, our results provide novel insight into the TF-miRNA regulatory network involved in GC metastasis. Targeting the GATA6/miR-520b/CREB1 axis may be an effective approach for GC treatment.

Sodium new houttuyfonate suppresses metastasis in NSCLC cells through the Linc00668/miR-147a/slug axis.

Project description:BackgroundAs most lung cancer patients present with invasive, metastatic disease, it is vital to investigate anti-metastatic treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Houttuynia cordata is commonly used as a Chinese anticancer medicine in the clinic, and sodium new houttuyfonate (SNH), a main compound of this herb, has long been found to have antibiotic effects, although its anticancer effects have not been investigated. Here, we tried to address this lack of research from the perspective of the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) theory.MethodsThe effects of SNH on NSCLC cells were analysed with Cell Counting Kit-8 assays and colony formation assays. In addition, transwell assays and wound healing assays were used to determine the effects of SNH on migration and invasion in NSCLC cells. The levels of key genes and proteins were examined by quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting, immunofluorescence staining and IHC staining. Through transcriptome screening and digital gene expression profiling, Linc00668 was identified to be regulated by SNH. Dual-luciferase reporter assays and RNA immunoprecipitation assays verified the binding efficiency between miR-147a and Linc00668 or Slug.ResultsIn the present study, SNH regulated NSCLC cells in multiple ways, the most prominent of which was suppressing the expression of Linc00668, which was indicated to promote migration and invasion in NSCLC cells. Functional studies demonstrated that Linc00668 acted as a ceRNA by sponging miR-147a to further regulate Slug mRNA levels, thereby influencing the progression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Consistently, the results of in vivo animal models showed that SNH depressed Linc00668 and suppressed the metastasis of NSCLC.ConclusionsSNH suppressed metastasis of NSCLC cells and the mechanism may involve with the Linc00668/miR-147a/Slug axis.

Circular RNA ITCH suppresses metastasis of gastric cancer via regulating miR-199a-5p/Klotho axis.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are considered as a new regulatory factor in growth, metastasis and therapeutic resistance of human cancers. But the clinical significance and underlying mechanism of circular RNA ITCH (circ-ITCH) in gastric cancer (GC) remain unknown. In the present study, we found that circ-ITCH was down-regulated in GC cell lines, GC tissues and their serum-derived exosomes. The level of circ-ITCH was related to invasion depth. Functional assays showed that circ-ITCH overexpression inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) of GC cells, whereas circ-ITCH knockdown appeared an opposite effect. Bioinformatic analysis and luciferase reporter assay confirmed that circ-ITCH acted as miR-199a-5p sponge and increased the level of Klotho. The expression level of miR-199-5p was up-regulated in GC tissues and negatively correlated with that of circ-ITCH. MiR-199a-5p mimics reversed the effects on inhibiting metastasis induced by circ-ITCH overexpression and decreased the level of Klotho in GC cells. Our findings indicate that circ-ITCH suppresses metastasis of GC by acting as the sponge of miR-199a-5p and increasing Klotho expression, which serves as a potential biomarker and targets for the diagnosis and therapy of GC.Abbreviations: CircRNAs: circular RNAs; GC: gastric cancer; circ-ITCH: circular RNA Itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; ceRNA: competitive endogenous RNA; EMT: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition; siRNA: Small interfering RNA; TEM: transmission electron microscope; NTA: nanoparticle tracking analysis.

Circular RNA ACVR2A suppresses bladder cancer cells proliferation and metastasis through miR-626/EYA4 axis.

Project description:BackgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) have been considered to mediate occurrence and development of human cancers, generally acting as microRNA (miRNA) sponges to regulate downstream genes expression. However, the aberrant expression profile and dysfunction of circRNAs in human bladder cancer remain to be investigated. The present study aims to elucidate the potential role and molecular mechanism of circACVR2A in regulating the proliferation and metastasis of bladder cancer.MethodscircACVR2A (hsa_circ_0001073) was identified by RNA-sequencing and validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis. The role of circACVR2A in bladder cancer was assessed both in vitro and in vivo. Biotin-coupled probe pull down assay, biotin-coupled microRNA capture, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and fluorescence in situ hybridization were conducted to evaluate the interaction between circACVR2A and microRNAs.ResultsThe expression of circACVR2A was lower in bladder cancer tissues and cell lines. The down-regulation of circACVR2A was positively correlated with aggressive clinicopathological characteristics, and circACVR2A served as an independent risk factor for overall survival in bladder cancer patients after cystectomy. Our in vivo and in vitro data indicated that circACVR2A suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells. Mechanistically, we found that circACVR2A could directly interact with miR-626 and act as a miRNA sponge to regulate EYA4 expression.ConclusionscircACVR2A functions as a tumor suppressor to inhibit bladder cancer cell proliferation and metastasis through miR-626/EYA4 axis, suggesting that circACVR2A is a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for bladder cancer.
