Hsa_circ_0000199 facilitates chemo-tolerance of triple-negative breast cancer by interfering with miR-206/613-led PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling.

ABSTRACT: Increasing attentions have been paid to the role of circRNAs in the etiology of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and we strived to figure out the association of circRNA AKT3/miRNA axis with TNBC chemo-resistance. Altogether 207 BC patients were divided into TNBC group (n=83) and non-TNBC group (n=124), and MCF-10A, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, SK-BR-3 and MCF-7 cell lines were prepared in advance. Expressions of AKT3-derived circRNAs and relevant miRNAs in the TNBC tissues and cell lines were determined by employing real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It was indicated that hsa_circ_0000199 expression was higher in TNBC tissues than in non-TNBC tissues, and high hsa_circ_0000199 expression was predictive of large tumor size, advanced TNM grade, high Ki-67 level and poor 3-year survival of TNBC patients (all P<0.05). Furthermore, miR-613 and miR-206 were sponged and negatively regulated by hsa_circ_0000199 (P<0.001), and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling was depressed by si-hsa_circ_0000199 in TNBC cell lines (P<0.01). Ultimately, miR-206/miR-613 inhibitor reversed impacts of si-hsa_circ_0000199 on PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, proliferation, migration, invasion, chemo-sensitivity and autophagy of TNBC cells (all P<0.01). Conclusively, silencing of hsa_circ_0000199 enhanced TNBC chemo-sensitivity by promoting miR-206/miR-613 expression and deactivating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, which was conducive to improving chemotherapeutic efficacy of TNBC patients.

Project description:Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most frequent pediatric liver malignancy. However, the treatment outcome for patients with advanced-stage HB remains unsatisfactory. Accumulating evidence indicates that βKlotho (KLB) acts as an oncogene or a tumor-suppressor gene in a context-dependent manner. Despite this, the expression profile and effects of KLB on the growth of HB are still elusive. This study aimed to explore the effect of miR-206/KLB axis on HB growth. The expression of KLB was explored in HB cells (HepG2 and HuH6) and tissues using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), Western blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry. Besides, miR-206 expression was determined in HB cells and tissues using qPCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The prognostic value of KLB or miR-206 in our patients with HB was investigated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The biological effects of KLB or miR-206 on HB cells were identified in vitro. The proliferative effects of KLB on HuH6 cells were also investigated in vivo. Moreover, the mechanical signaling of KLB in HB was determined through bioinformatics analysis followed by experimental validation. The results showed a significant upregulation of KLB in HB tissues and cells. Elevated level of KLB was found to be significantly correlated with the aggressive phenotype and poor overall survival for children with HB. The in vitro function assay demonstrated that KLB knockdown promoted apoptosis and suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HB cells. Besides, KLB knockdown inhibited the proliferation of HuH6 cells in vivo, while KLB overexpression had the opposite effect. Furthermore, KLB was proved to be the direct target of miR-206. Low level of miR-206 served as an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in children with HB. The overexpression of miR-206 negatively regulated the aggressive biological behaviors of HB cells, which was partially rescued by KLB overexpression. Mechanically, the miR-206/KLB axis played a vital role in HB growth through augmenting the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. In conclusion, the data demonstrated that the miR-206/KLB axis might serve as an important biomarker/therapeutic target for HB.

Project description:Background and Objective: Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are effective treatment options for cervical cancer (CC), but their efficacy is limited by short survival rate of about 5 years particularly for advance stage CC. Bioinformatics analysis combined with experimental in vivo and in vitro data can identify potential markers of tumorigenesis and cancer progression to improve CC prognosis and survival rate of the patients. This study aims to investigate the prognostic value of family with sequence similarity 83, member A (FAM83A) gene and miR-206 in promoting CC progression and the involved genetic signaling pathways. Method: This was a bioinformatic analysis study based on RNA sequencing data of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases and verification by in vivo and in vitro experimental data. It was designed to evaluate whether the aberrantly expressed gene signatures could serve as new potential biomarker to improve prognosis prediction in CC. The TCGA RNA sequencing data [306 cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and endocervical adenocarcinoma samples and 13 adjacent samples] and GEO data (GSE9750 and GSE52903 datasets) were integrated and performed a bioinformatics analysis. Results: The results showed that CC-associated FAM83A gene serves as a key regulator of CC development and progression. Functionally, we observed that FAM83A is significantly overexpressed in CC, which is linked to poor overall survival as well as disease-free survival in CC patients. The in-vitro and in-vivo assessments performed after silencing FAM83A revealed that cell proliferation was significantly inhibited and the S-phase cell cycle arrest was induced. Mechanistically, FAM83A plays a role in PI3K/AKT signaling, and its downstream molecules could promote CC cell proliferation. Furthermore, functionality assessments by in-vitro luciferase reporter system and immunoblot analysis showed that miR-206 was the upstream of FAM83A and negatively correlated with FAM83A. Conclusion: The miR-206/FAM83A/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway possibly serves as a critical effector in CC progression indicating the potential prognostic value of FAM83A gene as a novel biomarker for CC progression.
