Long Noncoding RNA FGD5-AS1 Knockdown Decrease Viability, Migration, and Invasion of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Cells by Regulating the MicroRNA-944/MACC1 Axis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Long noncoding RNA FGD5 antisense RNA 1 (FGD5-AS1) participates in the regulation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully revealed. This study aimed to determine the regulatory mechanism of FGD5-AS1 on the viability, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells.

Methods

QRT-PCR was performed to measure the expression of FGD5-AS1, microRNA-944 (miR-944), and MACC1 in NSCLC. The correlation between FGD5-AS1 and clinicopathological features of NSCLC patients was analyzed. The viability of NSCLC cells were detected using MTT assay, and the migration and invasion were measured by transwell assay. Additionally, dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to demonstrate the interactions among FGD5-AS1, miR-944, and MACC1. Furthermore, exosomes were isolated from NSCLC cells and identified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and western blot. Then, the macrophages treated with exosomes were co-cultured with NSCLC cells to assess the effect of exosomes containing lower FGD5-AS1 level on NSCLC.

Results

The expression of FGD5-AS1 and MACC1 was increased in NSCLC, but miR-944 expression was decreased. FGD5-AS1 expression had significantly correlation with TNM stage and metastasis in NSCLC patients. FGD5-AS1 knockdown decreased the viability, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells. Additionally, FGD5-AS1 and MACC1 were both targeted by miR-944 with the complementary binding sites at 3' UTR. In the feedback experiments, miR-944 inhibition or MACC1 overexpression reversed the reduction effect of FGD5-AS1 knockdown on the tumorigenesis of NSCLC. Moreover, silencing of FGD5-AS1 suppressed macrophages M2 polarization, and eliminated the promoting effects of exosomes mediated macrophages on NSCLC cell migration and invasion.

Conclusions

FGD5-AS1 knockdown attenuated viability, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells by regulating the miR-944/MACC1 axis, providing a new therapeutic target for NSCLC.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme is the most aggressive primary brain cancer in adults. Therefore, it is important to investigate the mechanisms associated with cell viability and invasion ability of the cells in glioblastoma multiforme. The opposite strand of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) gene is used to transcribe the cis-antisense GDNF opposite strand (GDNFOS) gene, which belongs to the long noncoding RNAs. The current study assessed the effects of GDNFOS1 overexpression and interference on GDNF expression, cell viability and invasion ability in U87 and U251 MG glioblastoma cells. Overexpression and interference were performed using constructed lentiviral vectors, including long non-coding RNA GDNFOS1 overexpression vector, pL-short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-GDNFOS1-9, pL-shRNA-GDNFOS1-49, pL-shRNA-GDNFOS1-248, pL-shRNA-GDNFOS1-9+49, pL-shRNA-GDNFOS1-9+248 and pL-shRNA-GDNFOS1-49+248. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was used to determine the efficiency of interference and overexpression of GDNFOS1 in U87 and U251 MG cells. GDNF protein expression in U87 and U251 MG cells was detected using western blot analysis. In addition, cell viability was detected using a cell counting kit-8 assay at 24, 48 and 72 h after GDNFOS1 overexpression or interference. A transwell invasion assay was used to detect invasion ability. Different shRNA sequences were tested and the results revealed that a combination (pL-shRNA-GDNFOS1-49+248) was most effective in the knock-down GDNFOS1. Compared with the control group, GDNF expression in U87 MG cells was significantly increased in the GDNFOS1 overexpression group and decreased in the shRNA-GDNFOS1-248 group. U87 MG cell viability was significantly increased in the GDNFOS1 overexpression group at 24, 48 and 72 h compared with the negative control group. The viability of U87 MG cells was decreased in the GDNFOS1 interference group at 72 h when compared with the control group. The relative invasive ability was significantly increased in the GDNFOS1 overexpression group when compared with the negative control group. The invasive ability was significantly decreased in the GDNFOS1 interference group when compared with the negative control group. Similar results were exhibited by the U251 MG cells. Overall, GDNF expression, cell viability and invasion ability of glioblastoma cells significantly increased with GDNFOS1 overexpression and decreased with GDNFOS1 interference.

Project description:ObjectiveOsteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disorder, accompanied by extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Reportedly, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in OA pathogenesis. However, the role of lncRNA FYVE, RhoGEF, and PH domain containing 5 antisense RNA 1 (FGD5-AS1) in OA development is still not fully clarified. This study was aimed to clarify the role of FGD5-AS1 in OA.MethodsFGD5-AS1 and miR-302d-3p expression levels were determined in cartilage tissues and chondrocytes by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Chondrocytes (C20/A4 cells) were stimulated with interleukin 1β (IL-1β) to mimic the inflammatory environment of OA. Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assays. Cell apoptosis was measured by the caspase-3 activity assay and flow cytometry. Transforming growth factor beta receptors II (TGFBR2), matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13), and ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 5 expression levels were examined by qRT-PCR or Western blot. The regulatory relationships among FGD5-AS1, miR-302d-3p, and TGFBR2 were predicted by the StarBase v2.0, miRanda, miRDB, and TargetScan databases, and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay.ResultsFGD5-AS1 and TGFBR2 expression levels were downregulated while miR-302d-3p expression was increased in cartilage tissues of OA patients. Knocking down FGD5-AS1 inhibited the viability of C20/A4 cells but induced apoptosis and ECM degradation, while FGD5-AS1 overexpression exerted opposite effects. MiR-302d-3p was identified as a target of FGD5-AS1, and TGFBR2 was identified as a target of miR-302d-3p. FGD5-AS1 positively regulated TGFBR2 expression by repressing miR-302d-3p expression, and miR-302d-3p inhibition or TGFBR2 restoration reversed the changes of cell viability, apoptosis, and ECM degradation induced by FGD5-AS1 knockdown.ConclusionFGD5-AS1 can probably inhibit OA progression by regulating miR-302d-3p/TGFBR2 axis.

Project description:BackgroundHuman naïve pluripotency state cells can be derived from direct isolation of inner cell mass or primed-to-naïve resetting of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) through different combinations of transcription factors, small molecular inhibitors, and growth factors. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified to be crucial in diverse biological processes, including pluripotency regulatory circuit of mouse pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), but few are involved in human PSCs' regulation of pluripotency and naïve pluripotency derivation. This study initially planned to discover more lncRNAs possibly playing significant roles in the regulation of human PSCs' pluripotency, but accidently identified a lncRNA whose knockdown in human PSCs induced naïve-like pluripotency conversion.MethodsCandidate lncRNAs tightly correlated with human pluripotency were screened from 55 RNA-seq data containing human ESC, human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC), and somatic tissue samples. Then loss-of-function experiments in human PSCs were performed to investigate the function of these candidate lncRNAs. The naïve-like pluripotency conversion caused by CCDC144NL-AS1 knockdown (KD) was characterized by quantitative real-time PCR, immunofluorescence staining, western blotting, differentiation of hESCs in vitro and in vivo, RNA-seq, and chromatin immunoprecipitation. Finally, the signaling pathways in CCDC144NL-AS1-KD human PSCs were examined through western blotting and analysis of RNA-seq data.ResultsThe results indicated that knockdown of CCDC144NL-AS1 induces naïve-like state conversion of human PSCs in the absence of additional transcription factors or small molecular inhibitors. CCDC144NL-AS1-KD human PSCs reveal naïve-like pluripotency features, such as elevated expression of naïve pluripotency-associated genes, increased developmental capacity, analogous transcriptional profiles to human naïve PSCs, and global reduction of repressive chromatin modification marks. Furthermore, CCDC144NL-AS1-KD human PSCs display inhibition of MAPK (ERK), accumulation of active β-catenin, and upregulation of some LIF/STAT3 target genes, and all of these are concordant with previously reported traits of human naïve PSCs.ConclusionsOur study unveils an unexpected role of a lncRNA, CCDC144NL-AS1, in the naïve-like state conversion of human PSCs, providing a new perspective to further understand the regulation process of human early pluripotency states conversion. It is suggested that CCDC144NL-AS1 can be potentially valuable for future research on deriving higher quality naïve state human PSCs and promoting their therapeutic applications.
