Effect of rs67085638 in long non-coding RNA (CCAT1) on colon cancer chemoresistance to paclitaxel through modulating the microRNA-24-3p and FSCN1.

ABSTRACT: It has been reported that rs67085638 in long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA)-CCAT1 was associated with the risk of tumorigenesis. Also, CCAT1 could affect chemoresistance of cancer cells to paclitaxel (PTX) via regulating miR-24-3p and FSCN1 expression. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of rs67085638 on the expression of CCAT1/miR-24-3p/FSCN1 and the response of colon cancer to the treatment of PTX. 48 colon cancer patients were recruited and grouped by their genotypes of rs67085638 polymorphism as a CC group (N = 28) and a CT group (N = 20). PCR analysis, IHC assay and Western blot, TUNEL assay and flow cytometry were conducted. LncRNA-CCAT1 and FSCN1 mRNA/protein were overexpressed, whereas miR-24-3p was down-regulated in the CT-genotyped patients and cells compared with those in the CC-genotyped patients and cells. The survival of colon cancer cells was decreased, whereas the apoptosis of colon cancer cells was increased by PTX treatment in a dose-dependent manner. MiR-24-3p was validated to target lncRNA-CCAT1 and FSCN1 mRNA, and the overexpression of CCAT1 could reduce the expression of miR-24-3p although elevating the expression of FSCN1. Knockdown of lncRNA-CCAT1 partly reversed the suppressed growth of CT-genotyped tumours. And the knockdown of lncRNA-CCAT1 partly reversed the dysregulation of lncRNA-CCAT1 and FSCN1 mRNA/protein in rs67085638-CT + NC shRNA mice. The findings of this study demonstrated that the presence of the minor allele of rs67085638 increased the expression of CCAT1 and accordingly enhanced the resistance to PTX. Down-regulation of CCAT1 significantly re-stored the sensitivity to PTX of colon cancer cells.

Project description:Two mature miRNA species may be generated from the 5' and 3' arms of a pre-miRNA precursor. In most cases, only one species remains while the complementary species is degraded. However, co-existence of miRNA-5p and -3p species is increasingly being reported. In this work, we aimed to systematically investigate co-expression of miRNA-5p/3p in colon cancer cells in a genome-wide analysis, and to examine cross-targeting of the dysregulated miRNAs and 5p/3p species.Four colon cancer cell lines were examined relative to two normal colon tissues. Of the 1,190 miRNAs analyzed, 92 and 36 were found to be up- or down-regulated, respectively, in cancer cells. Nineteen co-expressed miRNA-5p/3p pairs were further identified suggesting frequent 5p/3p co-accumulation in colon cancer cells. Of these, 14 pairs were co-up-regulated and 3 pairs were co-down-regulated indicating concerted 5p/3p dysregulation. Nine dysregulated miRNA pairs fell into three miRNA gene families, namely let-7, mir-8/200 and mir-17, which showed frequent cross-targeting in the metastasis process. Focusing on the let-7d-5p/3p pair, the respectively targeted IGF1R and KRAS were shown to be in a reverse relationship with expression of the respective miRNA, which was confirmed in transient transfection assays using let-7d mimic or inhibitor. Targeting of KRAS by let-7d was previous reported; targeting of IGF1R by let-7d-5p was confirmed in luciferase assays in this study. The findings of let-7d-5p/3p and multiple other miRNAs targeting IGF1R, KRAS and other metastasis-related factors suggest that 5p/3p miRNAs contribute to cross-targeting of multiple cancer-associated factors and processes possibly to evade functional abolishment when any one of the crucial factors are inactivated.miRNA-5p/3p species are frequently co-expressed and are coordinately regulated in colon cancer cells. In cancer cells, multiple cross-targeting by the miRNAs, including the co-existing 5p/3p species, frequently occurs in an apparent safe-proof scheme of miRNA regulation of important tumorigenesis processes. Further systematic analysis of co-existing miRNA-5p/3p pairs in clinical tissues is important in elucidating 5p/3p contributions to cancer pathogenesis.
