A negative feedback loop involving NF-κB/TIR8 regulates IL-1β-induced epithelial- myofibroblast transdifferentiation in human tubular cells.

ABSTRACT: Renal tubular epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation (EMT) plays a central role in the development of renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF). The profibrotic cytokine interleukin (IL)-1 and the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) also participate in RIF development, and Toll/IL-1R 8 (TIR8), a member of the Toll-like receptor superfamily, has been identified as a negative regulator of IL-1R signaling. However, the functions of TIR8 in IL-1-induced RIF remain unknown. Here, human embryonic kidney epithelial cells (HKC) and unilateral ureteric obstruction (UUO)-induced RIF models on SD rats were used to investigate the functions of TIR8 involving IL-1β-induced EMT. We showed that IL-1β primarily triggers TIR8 expression by activating nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in HKC cells. Conversely, high levels of TIR8 in HKC cells repress IL-1β-induced NF-κB activation and inhibit IL-1β-induced EMT. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo findings revealed that TIR8 downregulation facilitated IL-1β-induced NF-κB activation and contributed to TGF-β1-mediated EMT in renal tubular epithelial cells. These results suggested that TIR8 exerts a protective role in IL-1β-mediated EMT and potentially represents a new target for RIF treatment.

NF-κB regulates neuronal ankyrin-G via a negative feedback loop.

Project description:The axon initial segment (AIS) is a neuronal compartment defined by ankyrin-G expression. We here demonstrate that the IKK-complex co-localizes and interacts with the cytoskeletal anchor protein ankyrin-G in immunoprecipitation and proximity-ligation experiments in cortical neurons. Overexpression of the 270 kDa variant of ankyrin-G suppressed, while gene-silencing of ankyrin-G expression increased nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity in primary neurons, suggesting that ankyrin-G sequesters the transcription factor in the AIS. We also found that p65 bound to the ank3 (ankyrin-G) promoter sequence in chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses thereby increasing ank3 expression and ankyrin-G levels at the AIS. Gene-silencing of p65 or ankyrin-G overexpression suppressed ank3 reporter activity. Collectively these data demonstrate that p65/NF-κB controls ankyrin-G levels via a negative feedback loop, thereby linking NF-κB signaling with neuronal polarity and axonal plasticity.

HBXIP activates the PPARδ/NF-κB feedback loop resulting in cell proliferation.

Project description:Hepatitis B X-interacting protein (HBXIP, also termed as LAMTOR5) plays a crucial role in regulation of cancer progression, while the mechanism is still unclear. Here we found that HBXIP increased the expression of PPARδ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ) in gene and protein levels of SW480 or HT-29 colonic cancer cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays showed that HBXIP occupied the core promoter (-1079/-239 nt) regions of PPARδ and that HBXIP activated the transcription activity of PPARδ in an NF-κB (p65)-dependent manner. Moreover, Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence analysis showed that HBXIP bound to NF-κB/p65 in the cells. Interestingly, we found that PPARδ could conversely increase the expression of NF-κB/p65 through activating its transcription activity. In addition, the clinical observations showed that both HBXIP and PPARδ were highly expressed in colonic carcinoma, and HBXIP expression was positively associated with that of PPARδ in the clinical specimen. Importantly, HBXIP expression levels were positively correlated with the clinical pathological parameters including lymph node metastasis and advanced TNM stage. These findings suggest that HBXIP served as a co-activator to activate the positive feedback regulations of NF-κB/PPARδ, which promoted the fast proliferation of the colonic cancer cells. Therapeutically, HBXIP may serve as a potential drug target of colonic cancer cells.

lncRNA-NKILA/NF-κB feedback loop modulates laryngeal cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and radioresistance.

Project description:Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common head and neck malignant tumors and is commonly resistant to X-ray-based radiotherapy. NF-κB interacting lncRNA (NKILA) has been reported to serve as a tumor suppressor in several cancers through combining with NF-κB: IκB complex thereby inhibiting NF-κB activation. Herein, we demonstrated a low NKILA expression in laryngeal cancer and its correlation with shorter overall survival in patients with laryngeal cancer. NKILA serves as a tumor suppressor in laryngeal cancer by suppressing laryngeal cancer cell viability and migration, whereas promoting cell apoptosis; NKILA knockdown reverses the cytotoxicity of X-ray radiation on laryngeal cancer cells through combining with NF-κB: IκB complex to inhibit IκB phosphorylation, inhibit p65 nuclear translocation, and finally inhibit NF-κB activation. NF-κB binds to the promoter region of NKILA to activate its transcriptional activity, upregulated NKILA then inhibits IκB phosphorylation and NF-κB activation, thus forming a negative feedback loop to sensitize laryngeal cancer cell to X-ray radiation. In conclusion, NKILA can serve as a promising agent of enhancing the cytotoxicity of X-ray radiation on laryngeal cancer and addressing the radioresistance of laryngeal cancer.

Feedback loop in miR-449b-3p/ADAM17/NF-κB promotes metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Project description:An emerging body of evidence has promoted the understanding of the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in tumorigenesis and progression, but the mediating function of miRNAs in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) development remains poorly elucidated. In this study, miR-449b-3p was downregulated in NPC specimens (P < .001) and cells (P < .05). Cytological and animal experiments provided evidence that miR-449b-3p inhibited NPC metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) was revealed as a direct target of miR-449b-3p. Rescue experiments suggested that the downregulation of ADAM17 in the miR-449b-3p knockdown cells partially reversed the inhibition of cell invasion and migration. Luciferase reporter assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, and Western blot analysis showed that ADAM17 could suppress the promoter activity and expression of miR-449b-3p by inducing NF-κB transcriptional activity. In conclusion, our study provided new insights into the underlying mechanism of the invasion and metastasis of NPC. The novel miR-449b-3p/ADAM17/NF-κB feedback loop could be a target for the clinical treatment of NPC.

The negative feedback loop of NF-κB/miR-376b/NFKBIZ in septic acute kidney injury.

Project description:Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the pathogenesis of septic AKI remains largely unclear. Here, we demonstrate a significant decrease of microRNA-376b (miR-376b) in renal tubular cells in mice with septic AKI. Urinary miR-376b in these mice was also dramatically decreased. Patients with sepsis with AKI also had significantly lower urinary miR-376b than patients with sepsis without AKI, supporting its diagnostic value for septic AKI. LPS treatment of renal tubular cells led to the activation of NF-κB, and inhibition of NF-κB prevented a decrease of miR-376b. ChIP assay further verified NF-κB binding to the miR-376b gene promoter upon LPS treatment. Functionally, miR-376b mimics exaggerated tubular cell death, kidney injury, and intrarenal production of inflammatory cytokines, while inhibiting miR-376b afforded protective effects in septic mice. Interestingly, miR-376b suppressed the expression of NF-κB inhibitor ζ (NFKBIZ) in both in vitro and in vivo models of septic AKI. Luciferase microRNA target reporter assay further verified NFKBIZ as a direct target of miR-376b. Collectively, these results illustrate the NF-κB/miR-376b/NFKBIZ negative feedback loop that regulates intrarenal inflammation and tubular damage in septic AKI. Moreover, urinary miR-376b is a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of AKI in patients with sepsis.

S100A11 functions as novel oncogene in glioblastoma via S100A11/ANXA2/NF-κB positive feedback loop.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most universal type of primary brain malignant tumour, and the prognosis of patients with GBM is poor. S100A11 plays an essential role in tumour. However, the role and molecular mechanism of S100A11 in GBM are not clear. Here, we found that S100A11 was up-regulated in GBM tissues and higher S100A11 expression indicated poor prognosis of GBM patients. Overexpression of S100A11 promoted GBM cell growth, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, invasion and generation of glioma stem cells (GSCs), whereas its knockdown inhibited these activities. More importantly, S100A11 interacted with ANXA2 and regulated NF-κB signalling pathway through decreasing ubiquitination and degradation of ANXA2. Additionally, NF-κB regulated S100A11 at transcriptional level as a positive feedback. We also demonstrated the S100A11 on tumour growth in GBM using an orthotopic tumour xenografting. These data demonstrate that S100A11/ANXA2/NF-κB positive feedback loop in GBM cells that promote the progression of GBM.

A positive feedback loop consisting of C12orf59/NF-κB/CDH11 promotes gastric cancer invasion and metastasis.

Project description:BackgroundMetastasis remains the main cause of cancer-related death for gastric cancer (GC) patients, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data base and bioinformatics analyses, we identified C12orf59 might act as a potential oncogenic protein in GC.MethodsWe investigate the expression pattern and clinical significance of C12orf59 in two independent cohorts of GC samples. In the training cohort, we used the X-tile program software to generate the optimal cutoff value for C12orf59 expression in order to classify patients accurately according to clinical outcome. In the validation cohort, this derived cutoff score was applied to exam the association of C12orf59 expression with survival outcome. A series of in vivo and in vitro assays were then performed to investigate the function of C12orf59 in GC.ResultsC12orf59 was significantly upregulated, and associated with poor survival outcome in two cohorts of GC samples. Gain- and loss of- function studies demonstrated C12orf59 promotes GC cell invasive and metastatic capacity both in vitro and in vivo, and induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis. Mechanically, C12orf59 exerts oncogenic functions by up-regulating CDH11 expression via NF-κB signaling. Interesting, CDH11 could in turn promote NF-κB bind to C12orf59's promoter and form a positive feedback loop to sustain the metastatic ability of GC cells. Additionally, downregulation of miR-654-5p is another important mechanism for C12orf59 overexpression in GC.ConclusionOur finding suggested the newly identified C12orf59/NF-κB/CDH11 feedback loop may represent a new strategy for GC treatment.

PCDHB17P/miR-145-3p/MELK/NF-κB Feedback Loop Promotes Metastasis and Angiogenesis of Breast Cancer.

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the most common life-threatening cancers, mainly because of its aggressiveness and metastasis. Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the development and progression of breast cancer. Nevertheless, the function and expression level of lncRNAs in breast cancer are still not fully understood. Here, we demonstrated that lncRNA PCDHB17P was up-expressed in human breast cancer tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of PCDHB17P remarkably suppressed migration and invasion, as well as tube formation ability of breast cancer cells. MiR-145-3p was significantly decreased in breast cancer samples, which was negatively correlated to the expression of PCDHB17P. In addition, we identified that MELK was a direct target gene of miR-145-3p, which was higher expressed in breast cancer tissues than that in adjacent normal tissues. Mechanistic investigation indicated that PCDHB17P acted as a cancer-promoting competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by binding miR-145-3p and upregulating MELK. Interestingly, MELK could in turn increase the promoter activity and expression of PCDHB17P via NF-κB, thus forming a positive feedback loop that drives the metastasis and angiogenesis of breast cancer. Overall, the results demonstrated that the constitutive activation of PCDHB17P/miR-145-3p/MELK/NF-κB feedback loop promotes the metastasis and angiogenesis of breast cancer, suggesting that this lncRNA might be a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for breast cancer.

A positive feedback loop between LINC01605 and NF-κB pathway promotes tumor growth in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Project description:zong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as crucial effector in modulating the progression of assorted malignancies. In our study, the main aim was to unveil the role and the underlying regulatory mechanism of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1605 (LINC01605) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). RT-qPCR analysis results suggested that LINC01605 was upregulated in NPC cells. According to the results of function experiments, LINC01605 promoted NPC cell proliferation and impeded cell apoptosis. The oncogenic role of LINC01605 in NPC was further validated by animal experiments. Additionally, we verified that LINC01605 regulated Ikbkb expression to promote the nuclear translocation of p65 and thereby activated the NF-κB pathway in NPC cells. Mechanism experiments further suggested that LINC01605 could regulate Ikbkb expression via sponging miR-942-5p. Moreover, LINC01605 recruited IGF2BP2 to stabilize ubiquitin-specific protease 3 (USP3) mRNA and thereby enhanced the stability of IkB subunit beta (IKKβ) protein. In addition, p65 acted as a transcription activator to upregulate LINC01605 in NPC cells. In conclusion, this study demonstrated a positive feedback loop between LINC01605 and the NF-κB signalling pathway that promoted NPC cell growth, thus providing new insights to better understand NPC.

CircRNF10-DHX15 interaction suppressed breast cancer progression by antagonizing DHX15-NF-κB p65 positive feedback loop.

Project description:BackgroundBreast cancer (BC) is a common threat to women. The continuous activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway contributes to the development of BC. This study aimed to investigate the role of a circular RNA (circRNF10) in BC progression and regulating NF-κB signaling pathway.MethodsBioinformatics analysis, RT-qPCR, subcellular fractionation, FISH, RNase R treatment, and actinomycin D assay were used to explore the expression and characteristics of circRNF10 in BC. The biological functions of circRNF10 in BC were analyzed by MTT assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay, and Transwell assay. RNA pulldown and RIP assay were used to identify the interaction between circRNF10 and DEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) box helicase 15 (DHX15). The impact of circRNF10-DHX15 interaction on NF-κB signaling pathway was explored by western blot, IF, and co-IP. Furthermore, dual-luciferase reporter assay, ChIP, and EMSA were performed to assess the effect of NF-κB p65 on DHX15 transcription.ResultsCircRNF10 was downregulated in BC, and lower expression of circRNF10 was related to poor prognosis of patients with BC. CircRNF10 inhibited the proliferation and migration of BC. Mechanically, circRNF10-DHX15 interaction sequestered DHX15 from NF-κB p65, thereby inhibiting the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway. On the other hand, NF-κB p65 enhanced DHX15 transcription by binding to the promoter of DHX15. Altogether, circRNF10 impaired the DHX15-NF-κB p65 positive feedback loop and suppressed the progression of BC.ConclusionCircRNF10-DHX15 interaction suppressed the DHX15-NF-κB p65 positive feedback loop, thereby inhibiting BC progression. These findings provide new insights in the continuous activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and raised potential therapeutic approach for BC treatment.
