AMOTL2‑knockdown promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma by regulating β‑catenin nuclear localization.

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most prevalent type of malignant cancer in the adult central nervous system; however, its mechanism remains unclear. Angiomotin‑like 2 (AMOTL2) is a member of the motin family of angiostatin‑binding proteins. It has been reported as an oncogene in cervical and breast cancer, but its association with glioma remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate AMOTL2‑regulated processes in glioma cell lines using extensive in vitro assays and certain bioinformatics tools. These results revealed that AMOTL2 was downregulated in high‑grade glioma cells and tissues, with patients with glioma exhibiting a high AMOTL2 expression having a higher survival rate. The results of the glioma cell phenotype experiment showed that AMOTL2 suppressed GBM proliferation, migration and invasion. In addition, immunoblotting, co‑immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assays demonstrated that AMOTL2 could directly bind to β‑catenin protein, the key molecule of the Wnt signaling pathway, and regulate its downstream genes by regulating β‑catenin nuclear translocation. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that AMOTL2 inhibited glioma proliferation, migration and invasion by regulating β‑catenin nuclear localization. Thus, AMOTL2 may serve as a therapeutic target to further improve the prognosis and prolong survival time of patients with glioma.

Long Noncoding RNA FGD5-AS1 Promotes Glioma Cell Proliferation, Migration and Invasion by Regulating wnt/?-Catenin Pathway.

Project description:Purpose:To investigate the specific function of long noncoding RNA FGD5 antisense RNA 1 (lncRNA FGD5-AS1) in glioma. Materials and Methods:The level of FGD5-AS1 was detected in clinical samples and cell lines by qRT-PCR. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) of FGD5-AS1 or scramble siRNA was transfected into U87 cell lines to examine the role of FGD5-AS1 on glioma development. The proliferation of glioma cells was tested by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), the migration and invasion of glioma cells were tested by transwell assay without matrigel or with matrigel. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression, and XAV-939 was used to inhibit wnt/?-catenin pathway. The effect of FGD5-AS1 on tumorigenesis of glioma was confirmed by xenograft nude mice model. Results:FGD5-AS1 was significantly increased in glioma tissues and cells. Loss of FGD5-AS1 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of U87 cells. Furthermore, overexpression of FGD5-AS1 increased the mRNA and protein levels of ?-catenin and cyclin D1. Blocking of wnt/?-catenin using XAV-939 reversed the promotion role of FGD3-AS1 on glioma cells' migration and invasion. The in vivo tumor growth assay showed that FGD3-AS1 accelerated glioma tumorigenesis with activating wnt/?-catenin pathway. Conclusion:Our research emphasized FGD5-AS1 acting as an oncogene by regulating wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway, thus providing some novel experimental basis for clinical treatment of glioma.

Long noncoding RNA DANCR knockdown inhibits proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma by regulating miR-135a-5p/BMI1.

Project description:Background:Glioma is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor with high mortality rate around the world. LncRNAs have been identified to play key roles in tumorigenesis in various cancers, including glioma. However, the precise mechanism of DANCR in progression of glioma remains poorly defined. Methods:The expression levels of DANCR, miR-135a-5p and BMI1 were measured by qRT-PCR in glioma tissues and cells. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were detected by CCK-8 assay and transwell assay, respectively. The possible binding sites of miR-135a-5p and DANCR or BMI1 were predicted by online software and verified using luciferase report assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. Western blot analysis was carried out to detect the protein of BMI1 expression. A xenograft tumor model was established to investigate the functions of DANCR in glioma progression in vivo. Results:DANCR was upregulated and miR-135a-5p was downregulated in glioma tissues and cells. Knockdown of DANCR inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion in glioma cells. In addition, miR-135a-5p was a direct target of DANCR, and its elevated expression could reverse miR-135a-5p inhibition-mediated progression of glioma. Moreover, miR-135a-5p could specially bind to BMI1, and the expression of BMI1 was obviously elevated in glioma tissues and cells. Furthermore, DANCR acted as a ceRNA to regulate BMI1 expression and BMI1-mediated effects on progression of glioma by sponging miR-135a-5p. Besides, inhibition of DANCR limited tumor growth by regulating miR-135a-5p and BMI1 expression in vivo. Conclusion:DANCR knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion in glioma cells through regulating miR-135a-5p/BMI1 axis, providing viable therapeutic avenues for treatment of glioma.

Knockdown of TMEM45A inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma cells.

Project description:Gliomas are the most common and aggressive type of primary adult brain tumor. Although high expression and prognostic value of TMEM45A has been recently reported in various types of human tumors, the association of TMEM45A expression and glioma is still unknown. Here, we reported that TMEM45A was significantly overexpressed in glioma tissues compared to non-tumorous brain tissues. Furthermore, TMEM45A mRNA levels were gradually increased with the increasing severity of histological grade of glioma. Moreover, high TMEM45A expression level was correlated with short survival time of glioma patients. Down-regulation of TMEM45A in two glioma cell lines, U251 and U373 by transected with TMEM45A siRNA resulted in a significant reduction of cell proliferation and G1-phase arrest. Additionally, we found that suppressing of TMEM45A expression in glioma cells remarkably suppressed cell migration and cell invasion. More importantly, TMEM45A siRNA treatment significantly down-regulated the proteins promoting cell cycles transition (Cyclin D1, CDK4 and PCNA) and cell invasion (MMP-2 and MMP-9), which indicted a possible mechanism underlying its functions on glioma. In summary, our study suggests that TMEM45A may work as an oncogene and a new effective therapeutic target for glioma treatment.

Knockdown of E2F3 Inhibits Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion and Increases Apoptosis in Glioma Cells.

Project description:E2F3a, as a member of the E2F family, is essential for cell division associated with the progression of many cancers. However, the biological effect of E2F3a on glioma is not understood as well. To investigate the functional mechanism of E2F3a in glioma, we examined the expression of E2F3a in glioma tissue and cell lines. We found that E2F3a was upregulated in glioma tissue compared with adjacent tissue, and this was associated with a poor survival rate. E2F3a was highly expressed in glioma cell lines compared with normal HEB cell lines. Knockdown of E2F3a significantly inhibited cell proliferation, promoted G0/G1 phase arrest, elevated apoptosis rates, and suppressed cell migration and invasion. However, overexpression of E2F3a markedly promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and inhibited apoptosis. Moreover, in vivo studies showed that knockdown of E2F3a expression dramatically inhibited U373 tumor growth in a nude mouse model. Results of real-time PCR and Western blot showed that the depletion of E2F3a upregulated the expression levels of cell apoptosis-related proteins and downregulated migration-related proteins. Conversely, E2F3a overexpression downregulated the expression levels of cell apoptosis-related proteins and upregulated migration-related proteins. In conclusion, our results highlight the importance of E2F3a in glioma and provide new insights into the diagnostics and therapeutics of gliomas.

ZEB2 mediates multiple pathways regulating cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis in glioma.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The aim of the present study was to analyze the expression of Zinc finger E-box Binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) in glioma and to explore the molecular mechanisms of ZEB2 that regulate cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:Expression of ZEB2 in 90 clinicopathologically characterized glioma patients was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, siRNA targeting ZEB2 was transfected into U251 and U87 glioma cell lines in vitro and proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were examined separately by MTT assay, Transwell chamber assay, flow cytometry, and western blot. RESULTS:The expression level of ZEB2 protein was significantly increased in glioma tissues compared to normal brain tissues (P<0.001). In addition, high levels of ZEB2 protein were positively correlated with pathology grade classification (P = 0.024) of glioma patients. Knockdown of ZEB2 by siRNA suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion, as well as induced cell apoptosis in glioma cells. Furthermore, ZEB2 downregulation was accompanied by decreased expression of CDK4/6, Cyclin D1, Cyclin E, E2F1, and c-myc, while p15 and p21 were upregulated. Lowered expression of ZEB2 enhanced E-cadherin levels but also inhibited ?-Catenin, Vimentin, N-cadherin, and Snail expression. Several apoptosis-related regulators such as Caspase-3, Caspase-6, Caspase-9, and Cleaved-PARP were activated while PARP was inhibited after ZEB2 siRNA treatment. CONCLUSION:Overexpression of ZEB2 is an unfavorable factor that may facilitate glioma progression. Knockdown ZEB2 expression by siRNA suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion and promoted cell apoptosis in glioma cells.

Circ_0001367 inhibits glioma proliferation, migration and invasion by sponging miR-431 and thus regulating NRXN3.

Project description:Many studies have reported that circular RNAs play a vital role in the malignant progression of human cancers. However, the role and underlying mechanism of circRNAs in the development of gliomas have not been fully clarified. In this study, we found that circ_0001367 was downregulated in glioma tissues and showed a close correlation with glioma patient survival. Functional assays demonstrated that upregulation of circ_0001367 could suppress the proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma cells in vitro and inhibit glioma growth in vivo. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis, luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay indicated that circ_0001367 can serve as a sponge for miR-431 and that miR-431 acts as an oncogene by regulating neurexin 3 (NRXN3). In addition, rescue experiments verified that circ_0001367 could regulate both the expression and function of NRXN3 in a miR-431-dependent manner. In conclusion, circ_0001367 functions as an suppressor in glioma by targeting the miR-431/NRXN3 axis and may be a promising therapeutic target against gliomas.

Cir-ITCH inhibits gastric cancer migration, invasion and proliferation by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are differentially expressed in various tumours, but the expression and regulatory mechanisms of circular RNA ITCH (cir-ITCH) in gastric cancer remain unclear. For this reason, in the present study, we assessed the expression of cir-ITCH and the associated regulatory mechanism of cir-ITCH in gastric cancer. Through RTq-PCR assays, we observed that cir-ITCH expression was attenuated in gastric cancer cell lines and tissues, with cir-ITCH expression in gastric cancer tissues with lymph node metastasis being considerably lower than that observed in gastric cancer tissues without lymph node metastasis. In addition, we demonstrated that cir-ITCH or linear ITCH may be a useful marker for gastric cancer prognosis by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. We also showed that cir-ITCH overexpression could increase linear ITCH expression through miR-17 via RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and luciferase reporter assays. Moreover, in vivo and in vitro experimental results showed that cir-ITCH can act as a tumour suppressor to prevent gastric cancer tumourgenesis by sponging miR-17. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a crucial role during the carcinogenesis of cancers, and we observed that cir-ITCH could negatively regulate Wnt/β-catenin signalling, which could be restored by miR-17. In summary, cir-ITCH was shown to prevent gastric cancer tumourgenesis through the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway by sequestering miR-17.

GSG2 knockdown suppresses cholangiocarcinoma progression by regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis and migration.

Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common type of hepatocellular carcinoma characterized by high aggressiveness and extremely poor patient prognosis. The germ cell‑specific gene 2 protein (GSG2) is a histone H3 threonine‑3 kinase required for normal mitosis. Nevertheless, the role and mechanism of GSG2 in the progression and development of CCA remain elusive. In the present study, the association between GSG2 and CCA was elucidated. Firstly, we demonstrated that GSG2 was overexpressed in CCA specimens and HCCC‑9810 and QBC939 cells by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. It was further revealed that high expression of GSG2 in CCA had significant clinical significance in predicting disease deterioration. Subsequently, cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution and migration were measured by MTT, flow cytometry, and wound healing assays, respectively in vitro. The results demonstrated that downregulation of GSG2 decreased proliferation, promoted apoptosis, arrested the cell cycle and weakened migration in the G2 phase of CCA cells. Additionally, GSG2 knockdown inhibited CCA cell migration by suppressing epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT)‑related proteins, such as N‑cadherin and vimentin. Mechanistically, GSG2 exerted effects on CCA cells by modulating the PI3K/Akt, CCND1/CDK6 and MAPK9 signaling pathways. In vivo experiments further demonstrated that GSG2 knockdown suppressed tumor growth. In summary, GSG2 was involved in the progression of CCA, suggesting that GSG2 may be a potential therapeutic target for CCA patients.
