Long noncoding RNA DLEU2 drives the malignant behaviors of thyroid cancer through mediating the miR-205-5p/TNFAIP8 axis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Considering the plight in thyroid cancer therapy, we aimed to find novel therapeutic targets from a molecular perspective.

Methods

Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot assay were carried out to determine RNA and protein expression. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay, flow cytometry, transwell migration assay and aerobic glycolysis analysis were performed to analyze cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and aerobic glycolysis of thyroid cancer cells. MiRcode and Starbase software were used to search the downstream genes of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) deleted in lymphocytic leukemia 2 (DLEU2) and microRNA-205-5p (miR-205-5p), and the intermolecular combination was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The in vivo role of DLEU2 in tumor growth was verified using the murine xenograft model.

Results

DLEU2 and tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) were highly expressed in thyroid cancer tissues and cell lines. DLEU2 and TNRAIP8 promoted the proliferation, migration and aerobic glycolysis and restrained the apoptosis of thyroid cancer cells. DLEU2/miR-205-5p/TNFAIP8 signaling axis was identified in thyroid cancer cells. TNFAIP8 overexpression largely rescued the malignant phenotypes in DLEU2-silenced thyroid cancer cells. DLEU2 positively regulated TNFAIP8 expression by acting as miR-205-5p sponge in thyroid cancer cells. DLEU2 silencing blocked the growth of xenograft tumors in vivo.

Conclusion

lncRNA DLEU2 exerted a pro-tumor role to promote proliferation, migration and aerobic glycolysis while repressing the apoptosis of thyroid cancer cells via miR-205-5p/TNFAIP8 axis.

MicroRNA-205-5p inhibits skin cancer cell proliferation and increase drug sensitivity by targeting TNFAIP8.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) is a member of the TIPE/TNFAIP8 family which regulates tumor growth and survival. Our goal is to delineate the detailed oncogenic role of TNFAIP8 in skin cancer development and progression. Here we demonstrated that higher expression of TNFAIP8 is associated with basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma development in patient tissues. Induction of TNFAIP8 expression by TNFα or by ectopic expression of TNFAIP8 in SCC or melanoma cell lines resulted in increased cell growth/proliferation. Conversely, silencing of TNFAIP8 decreased cell survival/cell migration in skin cancer cells. We also showed that miR-205-5p targets the 3'UTR of TNFAIP8 and inhibits TNFAIP8 expression. Moreover, miR-205-5p downregulates TNFAIP8 mediated cellular autophagy, increased sensitivity towards the B-RAFV600E mutant kinase inhibitor vemurafenib, and induced cell apoptosis in melanoma cells. Collectively our data indicate that miR-205-5p acts as a tumor suppressor in skin cancer by targeting TNFAIP8.

SNHG17 drives malignant behaviors in astrocytoma by targeting miR-876-5p/ERLIN2 axis.

Project description:BackgroundAstrocytoma is a common tumor type in primary central nervous system and has a high death rate around the world. Aberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been introduced by emerging studies to result in the development of diverse cancers.MethodsRT-qPCR examined the expression of SNHG17, miR-876-5p and ERLIN2, and western blot evaluated ERLIN2 protein level. RNA pull down and luciferase reporter assays illustrated the relationships between SNHG17 and its downstream molecules.ResultsSNHG17 was up-regulated in astrocytoma cells. Moreover, SNHG17 silence could repress the proliferation, migration and invasion of astrocytoma cells. Besides, miR-876-5p was selected out as a downstream molecule of SNHG17 in astrocytoma. ERLIN2 was determined to be targeted by miR-876-5p. ERLIN2 mRNA and protein levels were lessened by miR-876-5p overexpression and SNHG17 silence. Additionally, miR-876-5p overexpression decelerated the biological processes of astrocytoma cells, so did ERLIN2 knockdown. More importantly, the impacts of SNHG17 down-regulation on the malignant behaviors of astrocytoma cells were counteracted by overexpressed ERLIN2 or inhibited miR-876-5p.ConclusionsSNHG17 could induce the progression of astrocytoma by sponging miR-876-5p to elevate the expression of ERLIN2. This study indicated that SNHG17 has a high potential to be a therapeutic target for astrocytoma.

TNFAIP8 Promotes Cisplatin Chemoresistance in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer by Repressing p53-Mediated miR-205-5p Expression.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) is implicated in the tumor progression and prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), but the detailed regulatory mechanism of TNFAIP8 in cisplatin tolerance in TNBC has not yet been investigated. TNFAIP8 was evidently upregulated in TNBC tumor tissues and cell lines. Knocking down TNFAIP8 led to impaired proliferation and elevated apoptosis of TNBC cells upon cisplatin (DDP) treatment. Mechanistic studies revealed that TNFAIP8 repressed the expression of p53 and p53-promoted microRNA (miR)-205-5p; moreover, miR-205-5p targeted multiple genes required for the cell cycle and repressed Akt phosphorylation, which thus inhibited the proliferation of TNBC cells. In addition, silencing of TNFAIP8 led to the upregulation of miR-205-5p and the restraint of the TRAF2-NF-κB pathway, which thus enhanced the suppressive effects of DDP on tumor growth in nude mice. This study revealed that TNFAIP8 was essential in the DDP tolerance formation of TNBC cells by reducing p53-promoted miR-205-5p expression. Thus, targeting TNFAIP8 might become a promising strategy to suppress TNBC progression.

Long noncoding RNA DLEU2 predicts a poor prognosis and enhances malignant properties in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma through the miR-30c-5p/PIK3CD/Akt axis.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as potential prognostic tools and therapeutic biomarkers for a variety of human cancers. However, the functional roles and underlying mechanisms of key lncRNAs affecting laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas (LSCCs) are largely unknown. Here, we adopted a novel subpathway strategy based on the lncRNA-mRNA profiles from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and identified the lncRNA deleted in lymphocytic leukemia 2 (DLEU2) as an oncogene in the pathogenesis of LSCCs. We found that DLEU2 was significantly upregulated and predicted poor clinical outcomes in LSCC patients. In addition, ectopic overexpression of DLEU2 promoted the proliferation and migration of LSCC cells both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, DLEU2 served as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate PIK3CD expression by sponging miR-30c-5p and subsequently activated the Akt signaling pathway. As a target gene of DLEU2, PIK3CD was also upregulated and could predict a poor prognosis in LSCC patients. In conclusion, we found that the novel LSCC-related gene DLEU2 enhances the malignant properties of LSCCs via the miR-30c-5p/PIK3CD/Akt axis. DLEU2 and its targeted miR-30c-5p/PIK3CD/Akt axis may represent valuable prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for LSCCs.

Knockdown of Long Noncoding RNA 01124 Inhibits the Malignant Behaviors of Colon Cancer Cells via miR-654-5p/HAX-1.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key role in cancer, including colon cancer (CC). However, the exact role of long noncoding RNA 01124 (LINC01124) in CC and its mechanisms of action remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the functional effects and the possible mechanism of LINC01124 in CC.MethodsWe first determined the expression of LINC01124 in CC tissues (The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database) and cell lines (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)). Functional analysis via Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, cell cycle, wound healing and Transwell assays were performed, and a mechanistic experiment was performed with the western blotting. The function of LINC01124 was also determined in vivo using nude BALB/c mice.ResultsThe results showed that LINC01124 was upregulated in CC tissues and cell lines. Functional studies showed that knockdown of LINC01124 significantly suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of colon cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Subsequent mechanistic experiments indicated that LINC01124 acted as a sponge to suppress microRNA 654-5p, which targeted HAX-1. Downregulation of LINC01124 decreased the expression of HAX-1, and overexpression of the miR-654-5p inhibitor attenuated the sh-LINC01124-induced inhibition of CC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.ConclusionCollectively, this study revealed that the knockdown of LINC01124 inhibited the malignant behaviors of CC via the miR-654-5p/HAX-1 axis, suggesting that LINC01124 might be a therapeutic target for CC treatment.

SNHG16 enhances the growth and metastasis of melanoma. SNHG16 can promote the expression of P21-activated kinases 2 (PAK2) by sponging miR-205-5p. PAK2 is the target gene of miR-205-5p. We demonstrated that SNHG16 promotes the metastasis and growth of melanoma through miR-205-5p/PAK2 axis.ConclusionThis study firstly confirmed the role and mechanism of SNHG16 in the occurrence and development of melanoma. Therefore, SNHG16 may become a key point in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of melanoma patients in the future.

TNFAIP8 drives metabolic reprogramming to promote prostate cancer cell proliferation.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) is a member of TIPE/TNFAIP8 family, has been involved in the development and progression of various human cancers. We hypothesized that TNFAIP8 promotes prostate cancer (PCa) progression via regulation of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis. Ectopic expression of TNFAIP8 increased PCa cell proliferation/migration/spheroid formation by enhancing cell metabolic activities. Mechanistically, TNFAIP8 activated the PI3K-AKT pathway and up-regulated PCa cell survival. TNFAIP8 was also found to regulate the expression of glucose metabolizing enzymes, enhancing glucose consumption, and endogenous ATP production. Treatment with a glycolysis inhibitor, 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG), reduced TNFAIP8 mediated glucose consumption, ATP production, spheroid formation, and PCa cell migration. By maintaining mitochondrial membrane potential, TNFAIP8 increased OXPHOS and glycolysis. Moreover, TNFAIP8 modulates the production of glycolytic metabolites in PCa cells. Collectively, our data suggest that TNFAIP8 exerts its oncogenic effects by enhancing glucose metabolism and by facilitating metabolic reprogramming in PCa cells. Therefore, TNFAIP8 may be a biomarker associated with prostate cancer and indicate a potential therapeutic target.

MicroRNA-139-5p Suppresses Cell Malignant Behaviors in Breast Cancer through Targeting MEX3A

Project description:Objective The study was designed to evaluate the underlying mechanism of microRNA-139-5p in breast cancer (BC). Methods Expression statuses of microRNA-139-5p and MEX3A were measured by qRT-PCR and western blotting. The anticancer effect of microRNA-139-5p in vitro was tested by a set of assays. Interaction between microRNA-139-5p and MEX3A was validated by dual-luciferase detection. Results MicroRNA-139-5p expression in BC cells was obviously low, while MEX3A was significantly overexpressed. MicroRNA-139-5p restrained proliferative, invasive, and migratory abilities of BC cells and increased apoptosis level of BC cells, while MEX3A exerted a promoting effect on BC cell growth. Dual-luciferase reporter detection confirmed that microRNA-139-5p bound to MEX3A 3′-UTR. Conclusions MicroRNA-139-5p inhibited the development of BC by targeting MEX3A. MicroRNA-139-5p/MEX3A may be a target for BC therapy.

Long noncoding RNA landscapes specific to benign and malignant thyroid neoplasms of distinct histological subtypes.

Project description:The main types of thyroid neoplasms, follicular adenoma (FA), follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), classical and follicular variants of papillary carcinoma (clPTC and fvPTC), and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), differ in prognosis, progression rate and metastatic behaviour. Specific patterns of lncRNAs involved in the development of clinical and morphological features can be presumed. LncRNA landscapes within distinct benign and malignant histological variants of thyroid neoplasms were not investigated. The aim of the study was to discover long noncoding RNA landscapes common and specific to major benign and malignant histological subtypes of thyroid neoplasms. LncRNA expression in FA, FTC, fvPTC, clPTC and ATC was analysed with comprehensive microarray and RNA-Seq datasets. Putative biological functions were evaluated via enrichment analysis of coexpressed coding genes. In the results, lncRNAs common and specific to FTC, clPTC, fvPTC, and ATC were identified. The discovered lncRNAs are putatively involved in L1CAM interactions, namely, pre-mRNA processing (lncRNAs specific to FTC); PCP/CE and WNT pathways (lncRNAs specific to fvPTC); extracellular matrix organization (lncRNAs specific to clPTC); and the cell cycle (lncRNAs specific to ATC). Known oncogenic and suppressor lncRNAs (RMST, CRNDE, SLC26A4-AS1, NR2F1-AS1, and LINC00511) were aberrantly expressed in thyroid carcinomas. These findings enhance the understanding of lncRNAs in the development of subtype-specific features in thyroid cancer.

MiR-205 suppressed the malignant behaviors of breast cancer cells by targeting CLDN11 via modulation of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.

Project description:Some Aberrant expression of miRNAs plays an important role in the occurrence and distant metastasis of breast cancer. This study aimed to identify crucial miRNA signatures for breast cancer using microarray data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, including ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive duct carcinoma. In this study, we founded that miR-205 was significantly down-regulated in breast cancer, and the low expression of miR-205 was significantly associated with the TNM stage of breast cancer. In vitro, functional studies revealed that over-expression of miR-205 inhibited the proliferation and promoted apoptosis of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Mechanistically, claudin 11 (CLDN11) was found to be the direct target of miR-205; the function of miR-205 could be exerted via downregulation of the target gene CLDN11 in breast cancer cells. Furthermore, the over-expression of miR-205 promoted the expression of the epithelial marker E-cadherin but reduced the mesenchymal markers in breast cancer cells. These results collectively indicated the tumor-suppressive role of miR-205 in breast cancer by targeting CLDN11; implying miR-205 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for breast cancer.
