MiR-383 is downregulated in medulloblastoma and targets peroxiredoxin 3 (PRDX3).

ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) are over- or under-expressed in tumors, and abnormalities in miRNA expression may contribute to carcinogenesis. MiR-383 was previously identified as one of the under-expressed miRNAs in medulloblastoma (MB) by miRNA expression profiling. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-based miRNA assays showed an enrichment of miR-383 in normal brain. Based on these data, we speculated that miR-383 is important in MB pathogenesis. In this study, we demonstrated significant downregulation of miR-383 in 23/29 (79%) MB samples and 7/7 (100%) MB cells lines. Ectopic expression of miR-383 in MB cells led to suppression of cell growth, cell accumulation at sub-G1 phase and alteration of apoptosis-related proteins. By transcriptomic analysis and computational algorithms, we identified peroxiredoxin 3 (PRDX3) as a target gene of miR-383. Luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-383 negatively regulated PRDX3 by interaction between miR-383 and complementary sequences in the 3' UTR of PRDX3. MiR-383 repressed PRDX3 at transcriptional and translational levels as revealed by quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Furthermore, depletion of PRDX3 by siRNAs resulted in similar effects as observed in miR-383-transfected cells. In conclusion, miR-383 acts as a regulator controlling cell growth of MB, at least in part, through targeting PRDX3.

miR-564 is downregulated in gastric carcinoma and targets E2F3.

Project description:Numerous aberrantly expressed microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) have been identified in gastric cancer (GC); however, only a fraction of these have been functionally investigated and novel deregulated miRNAs in GC remain to be explored. Through examining two public miRNA expression profile datasets, the present study identified aberrantly expressed miRNAs in GC. One of these miRNA, miR-564, was identified to be downregulated in GC, which was validated in tissue samples from patients with GC by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Targets of miR-564 were then predicted bioinformatically, including transcription factor E2F3 (E2F3), which was identified to be functionally enriched in several cancer signaling pathways. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-564 decreased the activity of a luciferase reporter carrying the 3'-untranslated region of E2F3, in addition to the mRNA and protein level of E2F3, indicating that miR-564 directly targets E2F3. These data suggest that by targeting E2F3, miR-564 may act as a tumor suppressor gene in gastric carcinogenesis.

Exosomal miR-130b-3p targets SIK1 to inhibit medulloblastoma tumorigenesis.

Project description:Exosomes are an important carrier for cell communication. miRNAs in exosomes are potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in different types of cancer. However, the role of exosomal miRNAs in medulloblastoma (MB) patients is largely unknown. In this study, we reported that there was a higher level of miR-130b-3p in exosomes derived from MB patient plasma compared with exosomes from healthy control plasma. Exosomes from MB patient plasma could transfer miR-130b-3p to an MB cell line and played suppressor roles for cell proliferation. miR-130b-3p suppressed MB tumorigenesis by targeting a previously unknown target, serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (SIK1), through the p53 signaling pathways. In addition, we found an unreported role of SIK1 in promoting MB tumor growth and an SIK1 inhibitor could inhibit MB cell proliferation. This research provides new insight into the molecular mechanism of MB and may provide a new therapeutic strategy for MB treatment.

P53-regulated miR-320a targets PDL1 and is downregulated in malignant mesothelioma.

Project description:Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer, related to asbestos exposure, which has a dismal prognosis. MPM diagnosis is late and often challenging, suggesting the need to identify more reliable molecular biomarkers. Here, we set out to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in epithelioid, biphasic, and sarcomatoid MPMs versus normal mesothelium and explored specific miRNA contribution to mesothelial tumorigenesis. We screened an LNA™-based miRNA-microrray with 14 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) MPMs and 6 normal controls. Through real-time qRT-PCR we extended the analysis of a miRNA subset and further investigated miR-320a role through state-of-the-art techniques. We identified 16 upregulated and 32 downregulated miRNAs in MPMs versus normal tissue, including the previously identified potential biomarkers miR-21, miR-126, miR-143, miR-145. We showed in an extended series that miR-145, miR-10b, and miR-320a levels can discriminate tumor versus controls with high specificity and sensitivity. We focused on miR-320a because other family members were found downregulated in MPMs. However, stable miR-320a ectopic expression induced higher proliferation and migration ability, whereas miR-320a silencing reduced these processes, not supporting a classic tumor-suppressor role in MPM cell lines. Among putative targets, we found that miR-320a binds the 3'-UTR of the immune inhibitory receptor ligand PDL1 and, consistently, miR-320a modulation affects PDL1 levels in MPM cells. Finally, we showed that p53 over-expression induces the upregulation of miR-320a, along with miR-200a and miR-34a, both known to target PDL1, and reduces PDL1 levels in MPM cells. Our data suggest that PDL1 expression might be due to a defective p53-regulated miRNA response, which could contribute to MPM immune evasion or tumorigenesis through tumor-intrinsic roles.

MIR-137 suppresses growth and invasion, is downregulated in oligodendroglial tumors and targets CSE1L.

Project description:MicroRNA-137 (miR-137) expression has been reported to be decreased in astrocytic tumors in two expression profiling studies but its role in the pathogenesis of oligodendroglial tumors is still limited. In this study, we demonstrate that miR-137 expression is significantly downregulated in a cohort of 35 oligodendroglial tumors and nine glioma cell lines compared with normal brains. Lower miR-137 expression is associated with shorter progressive-free survival and overall survival. Restoration of miR-137 expression in an oligodendroglial cells TC620, and also glioblastoma cells of U87 and U373 significantly suppressed cell growth, anchorage-independent growth, as well as invasion. Demethylation and deacetylation treatments resulted in upregulation of miR-137 expression in TC620 cells. In silico analysis showed that CSE1 chromosome segregation 1-like (yeast) (CSE1L) is a potential target gene of miR-137. Luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-137 negatively regulates CSE1L by interaction between miR-137 and complementary sequences in the 3' UTR of CSE1L. Immunohistochemistry revealed that CSE1L is upregulated in oligodendroglial tumors. Knockdown of CSE1L resulted in similar outcomes as overexpressing miR-137 in oligodendroglioma cells and glioblastoma cells. Overall, our data suggest that miR-137 regulates growth of glioma cells and targets CSE1L, providing further understanding in the tumorigenesis of gliomas.

Knockdown of circSOD2 ameliorates osteoarthritis progression via the miR-224-5p/PRDX3 axis.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough the implications of circular RNAs (circRNAs) with the progression of diverse pathological conditions have been reported, the circRNA players in osteoarthritis (OA) are barely studied.MethodsIn this study, twenty-five OA patients who received arthroplasty were recruited for cartilage tissue collection. Public circRNA microarray data from Gene Expression Omnibus was retrieved for circRNA identification. An in vitro cell model of OA-related damages was constructed by treating human chondrocytes (CHON-001 cell line) with IL-1β, and circSOD2 siRNA was used to silence circSOD2 expression to study its functional role in apoptosis, inflammatory responses, and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Besides, we investigated the functional interactions among circSOD2, miR-224-5p, and peroxiredoxin 3 (PRDX3) by luciferase reporter assay, RNA-immunoprecipitation assay, and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.ResultsOur findings revealed the overexpression of circSOD2 in the OA cartilage and cell samples, and circSOD2 knockdown alleviated ECM degradation, inflammation, and apoptosis in CHON-001 cell model. In addition, our findings suggested the regulatory function of circSOD2 knockdown on miR-224-5p expression, while miR-224-5p was capable of downregulating PRDX3 expression. The co-transfection of miR-224-5p inhibitor or pcDNA-PRDX3 could prevent the effect of circSOD2 knockdown.ConclusionHence, our results demonstrated that knockdown of circSOD2 may serve as an intervention strategy to alleviate OA progression through modulating miR-224-5p/PRDX3 signaling axis.

A large-scale proteomic identification of targets of cellular miR-197 downregulated by enterovirus A71

Project description:MicroRNAs are noncoding RNA species comprising 18–23 nucleotides that regulate host-virus interaction networks. Here, we showed that enterovirus A71 infection in human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) involved miR-197 expression. miR-197 can regulate virus replication in the context of viral RNA synthesis via the transfection of its mimic into RD cells. We employed a mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomic stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) approach for the identification of miR-197 target genes by transfecting mimetic miR-197 into RD cells, and the differential expression of prospective target proteins was identified. A total of 1,822 genes were repeatedly and considerably downregulated in miR-197-transfected RD cells, 106 of which were predicted to have seed sites by TargetScan. Seven of the selected 8 genes potentially related to viral replication and immune response were confidently validated as direct miR-197 targets using a luciferase (untranslated region (3'-UTR)) reporter assay. The expression of three selected endogenous molecules (ITGAV, ETF1, and MAP2K1 (MEK1)) was significantly reduced when RD cells were transfected with an miR-197 mimic. Our results provide a database of miR-197 targets, which is potentially of interest in the area of viral pathogenesis and other research fields.

LINC01128 expedites cervical cancer progression by regulating miR-383-5p/SFN axis.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Cervical cancer (CC), causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, is one of the most common gynecological malignancies in women. SFN has been reported as a potential prognostic marker with apparent high expression in tumors. Nevertheless, the function mechanism of SFN is not clear yet in CC. METHODS:The relative expressions of RNAs were detected by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Colony formation assay, EdU stained assay and CCK-8 assay were to check cell proliferation ability in CC. Flow cytometry and apoptosis related proteins analysis were used to measure cells apoptosis capacity. Luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull down assay were to verify the molecular mechanism. RESULTS:SFN was highly expressed in CC tissues and CC cell lines compared with normal tissues and normal cell line. After interfering SFN, cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability was inhibited as well as cell apoptosis ability was promoted. In subsequence, miR-383-5p exhibited conspicuous low expression in CC tissues. And miR-383-5p was found to bind to SFN and have anti-cancerous effects in CC. Moreover, LINC01128 displayed remarkable high expression in CC tissues. Besides, LINC01128 shortage could reduce the expression of SFN at mRNA and protein levels. And the affinity between LINC01128 and miR-383-5p was verified. In the end, it was proved that LINC01128 could enhance cell proliferation, migration and invasion as well as inhibit cell apoptosis by binding with miR-383-5p and upregulating SFN. CONCLUSION:LINC01128 expedited cells cellular process in CC by binding with miR-383-5p to release SFN.

LncRNA-UCA1 regulates lung adenocarcinoma progression through competitive binding to miR-383.

Project description:The present study aimed to assess the role of the long non-coding RNA-urothelial cancer associated 1 (lncRNA-UCA1)/microRNA (miR)-383/vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) axis in regulating lung adenocarcinoma physiology through in vivo and in vitro experiments. The expression profile of lncRNA-UCA1 was analyzed by genome-wide analysis from GSE146459. The cell counting Kit-8, colony formation, wound healing and transwell assays were performed to evaluate the effects of lncRNA-UCA1 in vitro. In addition, luciferase reporter assays were performed to confirm the binding site. The expression levels of miR-383 and VEGFA in tumor cells were measured using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. HCC-78 was also transfected with miR-383 mimics, inhibitors and siRNA-VEGFA before their viability was also assessed. Xenograft models were established in nude mice to investigate the tumor characteristics in vivo. The expression of lncRNA-UCA1 was significantly increased in tumor tissues and cells compared with adjacent tissues or HBE cells. Silencing lncRNA-UCA1 expression in cells resulted in a reduction in lung cancer cell viability. In addition, lncRNA-UCA1 silencing increased the expression of miR-383. Inhibiting miR-383 expression increased HCC-78 proliferation, migration and invasion, whilst reducing their apoptosis. miR-383 was shown to specifically target VEGFA to inhibit its expression at both the protein and mRNA levels. VEGFA knockdown resulted in a reduction in all aforementioned aspects of HCC-78 cell activity. In addition, inhibiting miR-383 expression led to larger tumor sizes in vivo. To conclude, the results of the study suggest that lncRNA-UCA1 can regulate the expression of miR-383 and, in turn, VEGFA.

miR-383 Down-Regulates the Oncogene CIP2A to Influence Glioma Proliferation and Invasion.

Project description:Background:Recent evidence showed cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) plays carcinogenesis roles in several types of human cancer. However, the expression and function of CIP2A in gliomas are unknown. Methods:qRT-PCR, IHC and ?Western blot were used to evaluate CIP2A expression in glioma tissues and cell lines. The influence of CIP2A on prognosis was analyzed by KM curve and Cox regression. CCK8, clonal formation, transwell and tumor xenograft assays were used to analyze cell proliferation and invasion. The upstream microRNA of CIP2A was verified by luciferase and RIP assays. Results:CIP2A was overexpressed in gliomas and associated with tumor size, WHO grade and postoperative overall survival rate. Depletion of CIP2A inhibited glioma cellular proliferation, invasion and xenograft tumorigenicity. miR-383 could bind to the 3'-UTR of CIP2A and inhibit CIP2A expression by forming an RNA-induced silencing complex with Ago2. Conclusion:CIP2A plays a carcinogenesis role in glioma progression and is one of the potential targets of miR-383.

Cullin 4B protein ubiquitin ligase targets peroxiredoxin III for degradation.

Project description:Cullin 4B (CUL4B) is a scaffold protein that assembles cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase (E3) complexes. Recent studies have revealed that germ-line mutations in CUL4B can cause mental retardation, short stature, and many other abnormalities in humans. Identifying specific CUL4B substrates will help to better understand the physiological functions of CUL4B. Here, we report the identification of peroxiredoxin III (PrxIII) as a novel substrate of the CUL4B ubiquitin ligase complex. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry showed that PrxIII was among the proteins up-regulated in cells after RNAi-mediated CUL4B depletion. The impaired degradation of PrxIII observed in CUL4B knockdown cells was confirmed by Western blot. We further demonstrated that DDB1 and ROC1 in the DDB1-CUL4B-ROC1 complex are also indispensable for the proteolysis of PrxIII. In addition, the degradation of PrxIII is independent of CUL4A, a cullin family member closely related to CUL4B. In vitro and in vivo ubiquitination assays revealed that CUL4B promoted the polyubiquitination of PrxIII. Furthermore, we observed a significant decrease in cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in CUL4B-silenced cells, which was associated with increased resistance to hypoxia and H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis. These findings are discussed with regard to the known function of PrxIII as a ROS scavenger and the high endogenous ROS levels required for neural stem cell proliferation. Together, our study has identified a specific target substrate of CUL4B ubiquitin ligase that may have significant implications for the pathogenesis observed in patients with mutations in CUL4B.
