The long non-coding RNA SNHG4/microRNA-let-7e/KDM3A/p21 pathway is involved in the development of non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a foremost cause of malignancy-associated mortality globally. Recent studies have emphasized long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as important biomarkers with diagnostic and therapeutic potential in regard to NSCLC. This study aimed to elucidate the functional role of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 4 (SNHG4) in NSCLC. Initially, 50 paired cancerous and noncancerous tissues were obtained from NSCLC patients. Human NSCLC H1299 cells were assayed to evaluate viability, colony formation, invasion, migration, cycle arrest, and apoptosis via Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), plate clone formation, and transwell invasion assays, as well as a scratch test and flow cytometry. A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to examine lncRNA SNHG4 binding with miR-let-7e and miR-let-7e binding with lysine demethylase 3A (KDM3A). H1299 cells were xenografted into nude mice. lncRNAs SNHG4 and KDM3A were both upregulated in NSCLC tissues. The knockdown of lncRNA SNHG4 or KDM3A inhibited H1299 cell viability, colony formation, invasion, migration, and cycle progression while inducing apoptosis. lncRNA SNHG4 was found to bind to miR-let-7e that negatively targeted KDM3A. KDM3A inhibited p53-K372me1, thus reducing p21 expression. The NSCLC development was inhibited by downregulating lncRNA SNHG4 in nude mice. Taken together, the key findings of the current study demonstrate a novel lncRNA SNHG4/let-7e/KDM3A/p21 axis in NSCLC, highlighting a promising therapeutic target for NSCLC.

MicroRNA-encoding long non-coding RNAs.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Recent analysis of the mouse transcriptional data has revealed the existence of approximately 34,000 messenger-like non-coding RNAs (ml-ncRNAs). Whereas the functional properties of these ml-ncRNAs are beginning to be unravelled, no functional information is available for the large majority of these transcripts. RESULTS: A few ml-ncRNA have been shown to have genomic loci that overlap with microRNA loci, leading us to suspect that a fraction of ml-ncRNA may encode microRNAs. We therefore developed an algorithm (PriMir) for specifically detecting potential microRNA-encoding transcripts in the entire set of 34,030 mouse full-length ml-ncRNAs. In combination with mouse-rat sequence conservation, this algorithm detected 97 (80 of them were novel) strong miRNA-encoding candidates, and for 52 of these we obtained experimental evidence for the existence of their corresponding mature microRNA by microarray and stem-loop RT-PCR. Sequence analysis of the microRNA-encoding RNAs revealed an internal motif, whose presence correlates strongly (R2 = 0.9, P-value = 2.2 x 10(-16)) with the occurrence of stem-loops with characteristics of known pre-miRNAs, indicating the presence of a larger number microRNA-encoding RNAs (from 300 up to 800) in the ml-ncRNAs population. CONCLUSION: Our work highlights a unique group of ml-ncRNAs and offers clues to their functions.

Long non-coding RNA SNHG4 promotes cervical cancer progression through regulating c-Met via targeting miR-148a-3p.

Project description:Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG4 has been shown to be associated with the development of a variety of cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of SNHG4 on cervical cancer (CC) and the corresponding mechanism. The qRT-PCR was used to determine the expressions of SNHG4 and miR-148a-3p in CC cell lines and tissues. Cell apoptosis and proliferation were measured by flow cytometry and MTT assay, respectively. The interaction between SNHG4, miR-148a-3p and c-Met was verified by bioinformatics, dual-luciferase reporter gene and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and the effect of SNHG4 on the growth of CC tumor in vivo was explored. The expression of SNHG4 was increased in both CC cell lines and tissues, while the expression of miR-148a-3p was down-regulated. Meanwhile, silencing SNHG4 remarkably inhibited CC cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. In addition, miR-148a-3p was a direct target gene of SNHG4, and down-regulation of miR-148a-3p could observably reverse the effect of silencing SNHG4 on the proliferation and apoptosis of CC cells. More importantly, SNHG4 could up-regulate the expression of c-Met by targeting and interacting with miR-148a-3p. Finally, in vivo experiments confirmed that silence SNHG4 down-regulated the expression of c-Met by promoting miR-148a-3p, and ultimately suppressed the growth of CC tumor in vivo. In conclusion, SNHG4 could be used as a competitive endogenous RNA to bind to miR-148a-3p, thereby up-regulating the expression of c-Met and ultimately promoting the progression of CC, which provided a potential therapeutic target for the targeted treatment of CC.

Long non-coding RNA SNHG20 promotes non-small cell lung cancer cell proliferation and migration by epigenetically silencing of P21 expression.

Project description:Mounting evidence demonstrates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are novel transcripts governing multiple biological processes, and their dysregulation is involved in the development and progression of multiple types of cancers. Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene 20 (SNHG20) is a 2183?bp lncRNA, and its overexpression predicts poor prognosis in colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the clinical relevance of SNHG20 and its molecular mechanisms affecting cancer cell phenotype have not been documented. Here, we found that SNHG20 was upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues compared with normal samples. Higher SNHG20 expression was significantly associated with advanced tumor, lymph node and metastases (TNM) stage and tumor size, as well as poorer overall survival. Moreover, knockdown of SNHG20 repressed NSCLC cell proliferation, migration and induced cell apoptosis. Mechanistic investigations revealed that SNHG20 could interact with EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homolog 2), thereby repressing P21 expression. Furthermore, rescue experiments indicated that SNHG20 functioned as an oncogene partly via repressing p21 in NSCLC cells. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that SNHG20 is a new candidate for use in NSCLC diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.

Long Non-coding RNAs Involved in Pathogenic Infection.

Project description:Recently developed technologies have revealed that the genomes of many organisms produce transcripts that do not encode proteins. These are called non-coding RNAs. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of the expression of their target genes at the levels of transcription, translation, and degradation. Multiple studies have demonstrated a role for lncRNAs in various biological responses, including pathogenic infection. Upon pathogenic infection, the expression levels of lncRNAs are dynamically altered, suggesting that lncRNAs are involved in the host immune response or propagation of pathogens. In this review, we focused on host lncRNAs that are involved in pathogenic infection. Some host lncRNAs act as host defense molecules to prevent pathogenic proliferation, while others are utilized by the pathogen to enhance the propagation of pathogens.

Long non?coding RNA CCAT1 enhances human non?small cell lung cancer growth through downregulation of microRNA?218.

Project description:Long non?coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have critical functions in non?small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) growth. In the present study, we showed that lncRNA?CCAT1 was upregulated in NSCLC tissues. High expression of lncRNA?CCAT1 was related to tumor growth and reduced survival rate. We used short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) to inhibit the expression of lncRNA?CCAT1 in NSCLC cells. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that lncRNA?CCAT1 knockdown suppressed tumor proliferation and induced apoptosis. Furthermore, microRNA?218 (miR?218) was confirmed as an effective target of lncRNA?CCAT1 in NSCLC. B lymphoma Mo?MLV insertion region 1 homolog (BMI?1), which served as a downstream target of miR?218, was also inhibited by lncRNA?CCAT1 knockdown. In conclusion, the present study indicated that upregulation of lncRNA?CCAT1 in NSCLC is associated with tumor malignant potential. lncRNA?CCAT1 enhances tumor growth in NSCLC by directly inhibiting miR?218 and indirectly increasing BMI?1 expression.

Long non-coding RNA LINC01133 represses KLF2, P21 and E-cadherin transcription through binding with EZH2, LSD1 in non small cell lung cancer.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs are emerging as crucial regulators and prognostic markers in multiple cancers including non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we screened LINCO1133 as a new candidate lncRNA which promotes NSCLC development and progression, in two independent datasets (GSE18842 and GSE19804) from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). LINC01133 is previously found to be over-expressed in lung squamous cell cancer (LSCC) and knockdown its expression inhibits LSCC cells invasion. However, its' molecular mechanism and downstream targets involving in regulation of cancer cells phenotype is not known. Here, we found that LINC01133 expression is up-regulated in NSCLC tissues, and its' over-expression is associated with patients poor prognosis and short survival time. LINC01133 knockdown decreased NSCLC cells proliferation, migration, invasion and induced cell cycle G1/S phase arrest and cell apoptosis. Mechanistic investigations showed that LINC01133 could interact with EZH2, LSD1 and recruit them to KLF2, P21 or E-cadherin promoter regions to repress their transcription. Furthermore, rescue experiments demonstrated that LINC01133 oncogenic function is partly through regulating KLF2. Lastly, we found that there was negative correlation between LINC01133 and KLF2, P21 or E-cadherin in NSCLC. Overall, our findings illuminate how LINC01133 over-expression confers an oncogenic function in NSCLC that may offer a novel therapy target in this disease.

Long non-coding RNAs involved in metastasis of gastric cancer.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignant diseases. The molecular mechanisms of metastasis remain unclear. Recently, studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in metastasis. Therefore, deeper understanding of this mechanism could provide potential diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets for metastatic GC. This review focuses on dysregulated lncRNAs in GC metastases. Due to the identification of multiple diverse mechanisms involved in GC metastasis, we classified them into seven categories, including lncRNAs related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition, regulation of degradation of extracellular matrix, angiopoiesis, vasculogenic mimicry, and immunologic escape. As the TNM stage is pivotal for evaluating the severity and prognosis of GC patients, we summarize the lncRNAs relevant to lymphatic metastasis, distant metastasis and TNM classification. This review summarizes the lncRNAs related to metastasis, which may provide insight into the mechanisms, and provide potential markers for prognostic prediction and monitoring the relapse of GC.

Long Non-Coding RNA HOXA11-AS Promotes Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Tumorigenesis Through microRNA-148a-3p/DNMT1 Regulatory Axis.

Project description:Objective:Our present study aimed to further investigate the molecular basis of long non-coding RNA homeobox A11 antisense (HOXA11-AS) in the tumorigenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:HOXA11-AS, microRNA-148a-3p (miR-148a-3p), and DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) mRNA levels were measured by RT-qPCR assay. DNMT1 protein level was determined by Western blot assay. Cell proliferative capacity and apoptotic rate were determined by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. The relationships of HOXA11-AS, miR-148a-3p, and DNMT1 were tested through bioinformatics analysis, luciferase assay, and RNA pull down assay. Mouse xenograft models of NSCLC were established to examine the biological function of HOXA11-AS in vivo. Results:HOXA11-AS expression was notably upregulated and miR-148a-3p expression was conspicuously downregulated in NSCLC tissues and cells. HOXA11-AS knockdown curbed NSCLC cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis through directly increasing miR-148a-3p expression. Moreover, miR-148a-3p overexpression suppressed NSCLC cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis. HOXA11-AS functioned as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miR-148a-3p to increase DNMT1 expression in NSCLC cells. And, DNMT1 upregulation weakened the influence of HOXA11-AS1 loss on NSCLC cell proliferation and apoptosis. Additionally, HOXA11-AS knockdown suppressed NSCLC xenograft growth by upregulating miR-148a-3p and downregulating DNMT1 in vivo. Conclusion:HOXA11-AS facilitated NSCLC tumorigenesis through miR-148a-3p/DNMT1 axis in vitro and in vivo, deepening our understanding of the molecular basis of HOXA11-AS in the development of NSCLC.

Long non-coding RNA TUG1 enhances chemosensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer by impairing microRNA-221-dependent PTEN inhibition.

Project description:Long non-coding RNA taurine up-regulated gene 1 (TUG1) emerges as new players in gene regulation in several cancers; however, its mechanism of action in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been well-studied. Herein, we determined expression pattern of TUG1 in NSCLC and further identified its effect on the chemosensitivity of NSCLC. Low expression of TUG1 was found in NSCLC tissues obtained from non-responders to platinum-based chemotherapy and reflected poor overall survival. TUG1 overexpression was shown to inhibit cell proliferation, migration, invasion, but facilitate apoptosis and autophagy in NSCLC cells resistant to cisplatin (DDP). Smaller size of tumor xenografts of DDP resistant NSCLC cells in the presence of TUG1 demonstrated enhancement of chemosensitivity by TUG1 in vivo. High expression of miR-221 and low expression of PTEN were determined in cancer tissues obtained from non-responders to platinum-based chemotherapy and reflected poor overall survival. TUG1 inhibited miR-221 that targeted PTEN, as evidenced by an elevated expression of PTEN in the presence of miR-221 or the absence of TUG1. Our present study reveals a model of enhancement of chemosensitivity that consists of TUG1, miR-221 and PTEN. Modulation of their levels may offer a new approach for improving anti-tumor efficacy for chemotherapeutic agents in NSCLC.
