Long Non-Coding PROX1-AS1 Expression Correlates with Renal Cell Carcinoma Metastasis and Aggressiveness.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be specifically expressed in different tissues and cancers. By controlling the gene expression at the transcriptional and translational levels, lncRNAs have been reported to be involved in tumor growth and metastasis. Recent data demonstrated that multiple lncRNAs have a crucial role in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression-the most common malignant urogenital tumor. In the present study, we found a trend towards increased PROX1 antisense RNA 1 (PROX1-AS1) expression in RCC specimens compared to non-tumoral margins. Next, we found a positive correlation between PROX1-AS1 expression and the occurrence of distant and lymph node metastasis, higher tumor stage (pT1 vs. pT2 vs. pT3-T4) and high-grade (G1/G2 vs. G3/G4) clear RCC. Furthermore, global demethylation in RCC-derived cell lines (769-P and A498) and human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells induced a significant increase of PROX1-AS1 expression level, with the most remarkable change in HEK293 cells. In line with this evidence, bisulfite sequencing analysis confirmed the specific demethylation of bioinformatically selected CpG islands on the PROX1-AS1 promoter sequence in the HEK293 cell line but not in the tumor cells. Additionally, the human specimen analysis showed the hemimethylated state of CG dinucleotides in non-tumor kidney tissues, whereas the tumor samples presented the complete, partial, or no demethylation of CpG-islands. In conclusion, our study indicated that PROX1-AS1 could be associated with RCC progression, and further investigations may define its role as a new diagnostic marker and therapeutic target.

Long Non-Coding RNA TRIM52-AS1 Promotes Growth and Metastasis via miR-218-5p/ROBO1 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant disease with a high mortality among primary HCC patients worldwide. Lots of studies have shown that lncRNAs are known as the biomarkers in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore, clarifying the detailed function and mechanism of the lncRNA in the HCC progressing seems particularly important.MethodsThe TCGA and GEO database and RT-qPCR were used to analyse the expression of TRIM52-AS1 in HCC tissues and cell lines. Clinical data were collected to further analyze the correlation between indicators of clinical samples and the expression of TRIM52-AS1. CCK-8, plate clone and transwell assays were employed to evaluate the role of TRIM52-AS1 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Then, bioinformatics prediction, luciferase reporter, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and RT-qPCR were employed to analyze the direct interaction among TRIM52-AS1, miR-218-5p and ROBO1. Additionally, the rescue function assays were used to verify that miR-218-5p/ROBO1 was the function downstream of TRIM52-AS1.ResultsTRIM52-AS1 was overexpressed in HCC according to the TCGA database and RT-qPCR assay. The expression of TRIM52-AS1 was higher in the metastatic foci compared with primary tumor according to the GEO database. Additionally, TRIM52-AS1 knockdown inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells. TRIM52-AS1 could act as competitive endogenous RNA to regulate ROBO1 through miR-218-5p, then promoted the HCC cell progression.ConclusionTRIM52-AS1 is overexpressed in HCC and can promote the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells through miR-218-5p/ROBO1 axis, then drives the HCC cell progression.

Long Non-Coding RNA LINC00467 Correlates to Poor Prognosis and Aggressiveness of Breast Cancer.

Project description:Breast cancer remains the leading cause of female cancer-related mortalities worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been increasingly reported to play pivotal roles in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Herein, we focused on LINC00467, which has never been studied in breast cancer. Silence of LINC00467 suppressed proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of breast cancer cells in vitro, whereas forced expression of LINC00467 exhibited the opposite effects. Furthermore, we demonstrated overexpression of LINC00467 promoted tumor growth, while knockdown of LINC00467 inhibited pulmonary metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, LINC00467 down-regulated miR-138-5p by acting as a miRNA "sponge". Besides, LINC00467 also up-regulated the protein level of lin-28 homolog B (LIN28B) via a direct interaction. A higher expression level of LINC00467 was observed in breast cancer tissues as compared to the adjacent normal counterparts and elevated LINC00467 predicted poor overall survival. Our findings suggest LINC00467 promotes progression of breast cancer through interacting with miR-138-5p and LIN28B directly. LINC00467 may serve as a potential candidate for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

The long non-coding RNA HNF1A-AS1 regulates proliferation and metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of tumor development and progression. The lncRNA HNF1A-antisense 1 (HNF1A-AS1) is a 2455-bp transcript on chromosome 12 with a potential oncogenic role in esophageal adenocarcinoma. Nevertheless, current understanding of the involvement of HNF1A-AS1 in lung adenocarcinoma tumorigenesis remains limited. In this study, we analyzed the roles of HNF1A-AS1 in 40 lung adenocarcinoma tissues and five lung cancer cell lines. Our results showed that HNF1A-AS1 was significantly up-regulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues compared with corresponding non-tumor tissues, and its expression level was significantly correlated with TNM stage, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis. The UCSC Cancer Genomics Browser's Kaplan-Meier plot suggested that patients in the high HNF1A-AS1 expression subgroup experienced worse overall survival compared to the low expression subgroup. Moreover, HNF1A-AS1 was determined to promote tumor proliferation and metastasis, both in vitro and in vivo, by regulating cyclin D1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and ?-catenin expression. In addition, the binding of HNF1A-AS1 to DNMT1 may explain its regulation of E-cadherin. In conclusions, we demonstrated that increased HNF1A-AS1 expression could regulate cell proliferation and metastasis and identified it as a poor prognostic biomarker in lung adenocarcinoma.

Long non-coding RNA SNAI3-AS1 promotes the proliferation and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma by regulating the UPF1/Smad7 signalling pathway.

Project description:Emerging evidence has indicated that deregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can contribute to the progression of human cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the role and exact mechanism of most lncRNAs in tumours remains largely unknown. In the current study, we found a novel long non-coding RNA termed SNAI3-AS1 which was generally up-regulated in HCC tissues compared with normal control. Higher expression of SNAI3-AS1 was significantly correlated with shorter overall survival of HCC patients. Knockdown of SNAI3-AS1 inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells in vitro, whereas overexpression of SNAI3-AS1 promoted the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells. Further investigations showed that SNAI3-AS1 could affect HCC tumorigenesis by binding up-frameshift protein 1 (UPF1), regulating Smad7 expression and activating TGF-β/Smad pathway. Functionally, SNAI3-AS1 promoted HCC growth and metastasis by inducing tumour epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). Taken together, these findings showed that SNAI3-AS1 promotes the progression of HCC by regulating the UPF1 and activating TGF-β/Smad pathway.

Long non-coding RNA TPT1-AS1 promotes angiogenesis and metastasis of colorectal cancer through TPT1-AS1/NF90/VEGFA signaling pathway.

Project description:LncRNAs have been proven closely correlated to tumor progression. A recent study identified LncRNA TPT1-AS1 (TPT1-AS1) as one of the liver-metastasis associated LncRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, we report that TPT1-AS1 is upregulated in CRC tissues, which is associated with poor prognosis. Functional assays unravel a pro-angiogenesis and metastasis role of TPT1-AS1. Mechanistically, Flexmap 3D assays reveal that TPT1-AS1 upregulates the VEGFA secretion in CRC cells. RNA immunoprecipitation and mRNA stability assays further show that TPT1-AS1 interacts with nuclear factor 90 (NF90) and subsequently promotes the association between NF90 and VEGFA mRNA, which leads to the upregulation of VEGFA mRNA stability. Therefore, we elucidate a new regulatory mechanism of TPT1-AS1 in CRC angiogenesis and targeting the TPT1-AS1/NF90/VEGFA axis may provide a useful strategy for diagnosis and treatment for colorectal cancer patients.

Project description:BackgroundMetastasis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) severely worsens prognosis. Genetic alteration in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is closely associated with metastasis and other malignant biological properties of LUAD. In this study, we establish a metastasis-related risk model to accurately predict LUAD prognosis.MethodsRNA-sequencing profiles and clinical data of LUAD patients including 503 tumor tissues and 54 adjacent normal tissues were collected in TCGA database. Additionally, the paired specimens from 156 LUAD patients were obtained in a single center. The metastatic relevance and clinical significance of metastasis-related long non-coding RNA (MRLNRs) was validated by series of in vitro experiments including western blotting, qPCR and transwell assays.ResultsSix MRLNRs were significantly correlated to prognoses of LUAD patients, of which AL359220.1, SH3BP5-AS1 and ZF-AS1 were further used to establish a metastasis-related risk scoring model (MRRS) due to the close associations with overall survival of LUAD patients. According to the MRRS, patients with higher scores in the high-risk group obtained poorer prognoses and survival outcomes. ZFAS1 expressed highly in tumor tissues and showed the inverse results compared to SH3BP5-AS1 and AL359220.1. In addition, the high expression of ZFAS1 was prominently correlated to the more advanced T-stage and distant metastasis. The reduction of ZFAS1 induced by siRNAs dramatically diminished the migration and invasion abilities of LUAD cells.ConclusionsIn the present research, we elucidate the metastatic relevance and clinical significance of AL359220.1, SH3BP5-AS1 and ZF-AS1 in LUAD. Moreover, MRRS provide a promising assessing model for clinical decision making and prognosis of LUAD.

Long non-coding RNA FEZF1-AS1 facilitates cell proliferation and migration in colorectal carcinoma.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) have been shown to play important roles in the development and progression of cancer. Here, we discovered a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) FEZF1 antisense RNA1 (FEZF1-AS1) is markedly upregulated in human primary colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and associated with CRC metastasis and poor prognosis. Moreover, the downregulation of FEZF1-AS1 expression significantly inhibited the CRC cells proliferation, migration and invasiveness, suppressed S-phase entry in vitro, and repressed tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. In contrast, overexpression of FEZF1-AS1 could promote the aggressive behaviors of CRC cells. We further discovered that the downregulation of FEZF1-AS1 reduced its sense-cognate gene FEZF1 mRNA and protein expression in CRC cells. There was a positive correlation between FEZF1-AS1 and FEZF1 expression in CRC. Moreover, FEZF1 knockdown also significantly suppressed CRC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Our findings indicate that the dysregulation of FEZF1-AS1 participates in colorectal tumorigenesis and progression, which might be achieved, at least in part, through FEZF1 induction.

Long non-coding RNA MUC5B-AS1 promotes metastasis through mutually regulating MUC5B expression in lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been involved in the process of cancer occurrence, progression, and treatment. Lung cancer-related lncRNAs are still an emerging field, thus we sought to identify novel functional lncRNAs as candidate targets in lung cancer. Here, we identified one novel lncRNA, MUC5B-AS1 (Ensembl: ENST00000532061.2). MUC5B-AS1 was upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues compared with normal lung tissues. Moreover, MUC5B-AS1 promoted lung cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and promoted lung cancer cell metastasis in vivo. MUC5B-AS1 and its cognate sense transcript MUC5B were highly co-expressed and mutually regulated in lung adenocarcinoma. Mechanistically, MUC5B-AS1 promoted cell migration and invasion by forming an RNA-RNA duplex with MUC5B, thereby increasing MUC5B expression levels in lung adenocarcinoma. The high expression of MUC5B was significantly associated with poor outcomes in lung adenocarcinoma. Our findings highlight MUC5B-AS1 functions as an oncogenic lncRNA in tumor metastasis and implicate MUC5B-AS1 as an attractive candidate target for lung adenocarcinoma treatment.

Long non-coding RNAs MACC1-AS1 and FOXD2-AS1 mediate NSD2-induced cisplatin resistance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:The nuclear receptor-binding SET domain (NSD) protein family encoding histone lysine methyltransferases is involved in cancer progression. However, the role of NSDs in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear. Here we examined the expression of NSDs in cisplatin-resistant and parental ESCC cells and revealed the upregulation of NSD2 in cisplatin-resistant cells. Ectopic expression of NSD2 increased cisplatin resistance and attenuated cisplatin-induced apoptosis. Colony formation assay indicated that NSD2 overexpression enhanced long-term survival of ESCC cells after treatment with cisplatin. In contrast, knockdown of NSD2 inhibited ESCC cell proliferation and sensitized ESCC cells to cisplatin. Depletion of NSD2 augmented the cytotoxic effect of cisplatin on EC109 xenograft tumors. NSD2 stimulated long non-coding RNA MACC1-AS1 in ESCC cells. Knockdown of MACC1-AS1 impaired NSD2-induced cisplatin resistance. Moreover, MACC1-AS1 overexpression promoted ESCC cell proliferation and cisplatin resistance. Clinically, MACC1-AS1 was upregulated in ESCC relative to adjacent noncancerous tissues. High MACC1-AS1 levels were significantly associated with reduced overall survival of ESCC patients. There was a positive correlation between MACC1-AS1 and NSD2 expression in ESCC specimens. Taken together, MACC1-AS1 induced by NSD2 mediates resistance to cisplatin in ESCC and may represent a novel target to improve cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

Expression of long non-coding RNA MFI2-AS1 is a strong predictor of recurrence in sporadic localized clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.

Project description:Prediction of recurrence is a challenge for the development of adjuvant treatments in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). In these tumors, expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are deregulated and closely associated with prognosis. Thus, we aimed to predict ccRCC recurrence risk using lncRNA expression. We identified prognostic lncRNAs in a training set of 351 localized ccRCCs from The Cancer Genome Atlas and validated lncRNA-based recurrence classification in an independent cohort of 167 localized ccRCCs. We identified lncRNA MFI2-AS1 as best candidate in the training set. In the validation cohort, MFI2-AS1 expression was independently associated with shorter disease-free survival (Hazard Ratio (HR) for relapse 3.5, p = 0.0001). Combined with Leibovich classification, MFI2-AS1 status improved prediction of recurrence (C-index 0.70) compared to MFI2-AS1 alone (0.67) and Leibovich classification alone (0.66). In patients with aggressive tumors (Leibovich ≥5), MFI2-AS1 expression was associated with dramatically increased risk of relapse (HR 12.16, p < 0.0001) compared to patients with undetectable MFI2-AS1 who had favorable outcomes. Compared to normal samples, MFI2-AS1 was upregulated in tumor tissue, and higher expression was associated with metastatic dissemination. Overall, MFI2-AS1 status improves patient stratification in localized ccRCC, which supports further integration of lncRNAs in molecular cancer classifications.
