LncRNA H19 Suppresses Osteosarcomagenesis by Regulating snoRNAs and DNA Repair Protein Complexes.

ABSTRACT: Osteosarcoma is one of the most frequent common primary malignant tumors in childhood and adolescence. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to regulate the initiation and progression of tumors. However, the exact molecular mechanisms involving lncRNA in osteosarcomagenesis remain largely unknown. Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a familial cancer syndrome caused by germline p53 mutation. We investigated the tumor suppressor function of lncRNA H19 in LFS-associated osteosarcoma. Analyzing H19-induced transcriptome alterations in LFS induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived osteoblasts, we unexpectedly discovered a large group of snoRNAs whose expression was significantly affected by H19. We identified SNORA7A among the H19-suppressed snoRNAs. SNORA7A restoration impairs H19-mediated osteogenesis and tumor suppression, indicating an oncogenic role of SNORA7A. TCGA analysis indicated that SNORA7A expression is associated with activation of oncogenic signaling and poor survival in cancer patients. Using an optimized streptavidin-binding RNA aptamer designed from H19 lncRNA, we revealed that H19-tethered protein complexes include proteins critical for DNA damage response and repair, confirming H19's tumor suppressor role. In summary, our findings demonstrate a critical role of H19-modulated SNORA7A expression in LFS-associated osteosarcomas.

Project description:ObjectiveAcute lung injury (ALI) increases sepsis morbidity and mortality. LncRNA H19 plays a critical role in sepsis. miR-107 is highly-expressed and TGFβ type III receptor (TGFBR3) is poorly-expressed in sepsis, yet their roles in sepsis development require further investigation. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of H19 in alleviating sepsis-induced ALI through the miR-107/TGFBR3 axis.MethodsMice were intravenously injected with Ad-H19 adenovirus vector or control vector one week before establishing the mouse model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) were transfected with oe-H19 or oe-NC plasmids and then stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Lung injury was assessed via hematoxylin-eosin staining, measurement of wet-to-dry (W/D) ratio, and TUNEL staining. Levels of H19, miR-107, and TGFBR3 were determined by RT-qPCR. Apoptosis of PMVECs was evaluated by flow cytometry. Levels of Bax and Bcl-2 in lung tissues and PMVECs were measured using Western blot. Total protein concentration and the number of total cells, neutrophils, and macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were quantified. Levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 in BALF, lung tissues, and PMVECs were measured by ELISA. Cross-linking relationships among H19, miR-107 and TGFBR3 were verified by dual-luciferase and RIP assays.ResultsH19 was poorly-expressed in CLP-operated mice. H19 overexpression attenuated sepsis-induced ALI, which was manifested with complete alveolar structure, decreased lung injury score and lung W/D ratio, and inhibited apoptosis in CLP-operated mice, which was manifested with decreased number of TUNEL-positive cells and Bax level and increased Bcl-2 level. CLP-operated mice had increased concentration of total protein and number of total cells, neutrophils, and macrophages in BALF, which was nullified by H19 overexpression. H19 overexpression declined levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 and elevated IL-10 levels. H19 inhibited LPS-induced PMVEC apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. H19 targeted TGFBR3 as the ceRNA of miR-107. miR-107 overexpression or silencing TGFBR3 partially averted the inhibition of H19 overexpression on LPS-induced PMVEC apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokine production.ConclusionLncRNA H19 inhibited LPS-induced PMVEC apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokine production and attenuated sepsis-induced ALI by targeting TGFBR3 as the ceRNA of miR-107.
