LncRNA HIF1A-AS2 accelerates malignant phenotypes of renal carcinoma by modulating miR-30a-5p/SOX4 axis as a ceRNA.

ABSTRACT: Several reports have proposed that lncRNAs, as potential biomarkers, participate in the progression and growth of malignant tumors. HIF1A-AS2 is a novel lncRNA and potential biomarker, involved in the genesis and development of carcinomas. However, the molecular mechanism of HIF1A-AS2 in renal carcinoma is unclear. The relative expression levels of HIF1A-AS2 and miR-30a-5p were detected using RT-qPCR in renal carcinoma tissues and cell lines. Using loss-of-function and overexpression, the biological effects of HIF1A-AS2 and miR-30a-5p in kidney carcinoma progression were characterized. Dual luciferase reporter gene analysis and Western blot were used to detect the potential mechanism of HIF1A-AS2 in renal carcinomas. HIF1A-AS2 was upregulated in kidney carcinoma tissues when compared with para-carcinoma tissues (P < 0.05). In addition, tumor size, tumor node mestastasis stage and differentiation were identified as being closely associated with HIF1A-AS2 expression (P < 0.05). Knockdown or overexpression of HIF1A-AS2 either restrained or promoted the malignant phenotype and WNT/β-catenin signaling in renal carcinoma cells (P < 0.05). MiR-30a-5p was downregulated in renal cancers and partially reversed HIF1A-AS2 functions in malignant renal tumor cells. HIF1A-AS2 acted as a microRNA sponge that actively regulated the relative expression of SOX4 in sponging miR-30a-5p and subsequently increased the malignant phenotypes of renal carcinomas. HIF1A-AS2 showed a carcinogenic effect and miR-30a-5p acted as an antagonist of the anti-oncogene effects in the pathogenesis of renal carcinomas. The HIF1A-AS2-miR-30a-5p-SOX4 axis was associated with the malignant progression and development of renal carcinoma. The relative expression of HIF1A-AS2 was negatively correlated with the expression of miR-30a-5p, and was closely correlated with SOX4 mRNA levels in renal cancers.

Project description:BackgroundNumerous studies proved that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is involved in the progression of multifarious diseases, especially in some carcinomas. As a potential tumor biomarker, plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 gene (PVT1) is involved in the development and progression of multifarious cancers. Nevertheless, the intrinsic and concrete molecular mechanism of PVT1 in bladder cancer still remained unclear, which is also the dilemma faced in many non-coding RNA studies.ResultsOur research revealed that PVT1 was significantly higher expression in bladder carcinoma specimens and cell lines. Further experiments indicated that knockdown or overexpression of PVT1 restrained or promoted the malignant phenotype and WNT/β-catenin signaling in bladder cancer cells. Meanwhile miR-194-5p was in contrast and miR-194-5p could partially reverse the function of PVT1 in malignant bladder tumor cells. As a microRNA sponge, PVT1 actively promotes the expression of b-cells lymphoma-2-associated transcription factor 1 (BCLAF1) to sponge miR-194-5p and subsequently increases malignant phenotypes of bladder cancer cells. Therefore, it performs a carcinogenic effect and miR-194-5p as the opposite function, and serves as an antioncogene in the bladder carcinomas pathogenesis.ConclusionPVT1-miR-194-5p-BCLAF1 axis is involved in the malignant progression and development of bladder carcinomas. Experiments revealed that PVT1 has a significant regulatory effect on bladder cancer (BC) and can be used as a clinical diagnostic marker and a therapeutic molecular marker for patients suffering from BC.MethodsIn urothelial bladder carcinoma specimens and cell lines, the relative expression levels of PVT1 and miR-194-5p were detected by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). Through experiments such as loss-function and over-expression, the biological effects of PVT1 and miR-194-5p on the proliferation, migration, apoptosis and tumorigenicity were explored in bladder cancer cells. Co-immunoprecipitation, proteomics experiments, dual luciferase reporter gene analysis, western blot and other methods were adopted to investigate the PVT1 potential mechanism in bladder carcinomas.
