Silencing of LOC389641 impairs cell proliferation and induces autophagy via EGFR/MET signaling in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: High-throughput RNA-sequencing studies of tumor samples have identified a large number of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) which are associated with various types of cancer. LncRNAs play key roles in regulating chromatin dynamics, gene expression, growth, differentiation and development. However, the role of LOC389641 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumorigenesis is not clear. Here, we investigated the expression pattern, roles and mechanism of LOC389641 in lung cancer. LOC389641 expressions in tumor tissues and cell lines were measured by qRT-PCR. Functional studies including colony formation, cell proliferation and invasion were performed in lung cancer cell lines and Western blot was used to exam the protein changes upon siRNA treatment. We found that LOC389641 was highly expressed in lung adenocarcinomas and was associated with poor patient survival. Silencing of LOC389641 reduced colony formation, cell proliferation and invasion, as well as induced autophagy and apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines in vitro. Mechanistically, downregulation of LOC389641 was found to decrease EGFR, MET and STAT3 proteins expression in lung cancer cells. LOC389641 is highly expressed and plays an oncogenic role in this type of NSCLC. Because of its specificity, LOC389641 may be a potential biomarker for prognosis and a possible target for lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:TCPOBOP (1,4-Bis [2-(3,5-Dichloropyridyloxy)] benzene) is a constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) agonist that induces robust hepatocyte proliferation and hepatomegaly without any liver injury or tissue loss. TCPOBOP-induced direct hyperplasia has been considered to be CAR-dependent with no evidence of involvement of cytokines or growth factor signaling. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), MET and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), are known to play a critical role in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy, but their role in TCPOBOP-induced direct hyperplasia, not yet explored, is investigated in the current study. Disruption of the RTK-mediated signaling was achieved using MET knockout (KO) mice along with Canertinib treatment for EGFR inhibition. Combined elimination of MET and EGFR signaling [MET KO + EGFR inhibitor (EGFRi)], but not individual disruption, dramatically reduced TCPOBOP-induced hepatomegaly and hepatocyte proliferation. TCPOBOP-driven CAR activation was not altered in [MET KO + EGFRi] mice, as measured by nuclear CAR translocation and analysis of typical CAR target genes. However, TCPOBOP-induced cell cycle activation was impaired in [MET KO + EGFRi] mice due to defective induction of cyclins, which regulate cell cycle initiation and progression. TCPOBOP-driven induction of FOXM1, a key transcriptional regulator of cell cycle progression during TCPOBOP-mediated hepatocyte proliferation, was greatly attenuated in [MET KO + EGFRi] mice. Interestingly, TCPOBOP treatment caused transient decline in hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha expression concomitant to proliferative response; this was not seen in [MET KO + EGFRi] mice. Transcriptomic profiling revealed the vast majority (~40%) of TCPOBOP-dependent genes primarily related to proliferative response, but not to drug metabolism, were differentially expressed in [MET KO + EGFRi] mice. Conclusion: Taken together, combined disruption of EGFR and MET signaling lead to dramatic impairment of TCPOBOP-induced proliferative response without altering CAR activation.
