Hsa_circ_0007456 regulates the natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity toward hepatocellular carcinoma via the miR-6852-3p/ICAM-1 axis.

ABSTRACT: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) is one type of important non-coding RNAs that participate in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. In our previous study, we performed a microarray analysis of circRNAs between the tumor tissues and the adjacent normal tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, and found that the circRNA hsa_circ_0007456 is significantly downregulated in the tumor tissues and correlated with the prognosis of HCC. We further investigated the relationship between the expression levels of hsa_circ_0007456 in HCC and the susceptibility of NK cells, and found that the expression levels of hsa_circ_0007456 in HCC cell lines significantly influenced their susceptibility to NK cells. Through a series of screening and validation, we found that hsa_circ_0007456 mainly functioned through sponging miR-6852-3p and regulating the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in HCC. The miR-6852-3p/ICAM-1 axis is essential for the NK cytotoxicity toward HCC mediated by hsa_circ_0007456. In conclusion, we identify here hsa_circ_0007456 as a promising biomarker of HCC, and highlight hsa_circ_0007456/miR-6852-3p/ICAM-1 axis as an important signaling pathway in the process of tumor immune evasion and the tumorigenesis of HCC.

Project description:Long non‑coding RNA forkhead box D3 antisense RNA 1 (FOXD3‑AS1) functions as an oncogenic regulator in several types of cancer, including breast cancer, glioma and cervical cancer. However, the effects and mechanisms underlying FOXD3‑AS1 in cervical cancer (CC) are not completely understood. The present study aimed to investigate the biological functions and potential molecular mechanisms underlying FOXD3‑AS1 in CC progression. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR was performed to detect FOXD3‑AS1, microRNA (miR)‑128‑3p and LIM domain kinase 1 (LIMK1) expression levels in CC tissues and cells. Immunohistochemical staining and western blotting were conducted to assess LIMK1 protein expression levels in CC tissues and cells, respectively. Cell Counting Kit‑8 and BrdU assays were used to determine the role of FOXD3‑AS1 in regulating cell proliferation. CC cell migration and invasion were assessed by performing Transwell assays. Dual‑luciferase reporter assays were conducted to verify the binding between miR‑128‑3p and FOXD3‑AS1. FOXD3‑AS1 expression was significantly increased in CC tissues and cell lines compared with adjacent healthy tissues and normal cervical epithelial cells, respectively. High FOXD3‑AS1 expression was significantly associated with poor differentiation of tumor tissues, increased tumor size and positive lymph node metastasis. FOXD3‑AS1 overexpression significantly increased CC cell proliferation, migration and invasion compared with the negative control (NC) group, whereas FOXD3‑AS1 knockdown resulted in the opposite effects compared with the small interfering RNA‑NC group. Moreover, the results demonstrated that FOXD3‑AS1 targeted and negatively regulated miR‑128‑3p, which indirectly upregulated LIMK1 expression. Therefore, the present study demonstrated that FOXD3‑AS1 upregulated LIMK1 expression via competitively sponging miR‑128‑3p in CC cells, promoting CC progression.
