Long Non-Coding RNA GABPB1-AS1 Augments Malignancy of Glioma Cells by Sequestering MicroRNA-330 and Reinforcing the ZNF367/Cell Cycle Signaling Pathway.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Deregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is frequently relevant to the malignant phenotypical changes. This study aimed to explore the role of lncRNA GABPB1-AS1 in the malignancy of glioma cells.

Methods

Abnormally expressed genes in glioma were analyzed using a GEO GSE2223 dataset. Short hairpin (sh) RNA silencing of GABPB1-AS1 was introduced in glioma cells to explore its correlation with the proliferation, apoptosis, and invasiveness of cancer cells. The target transcripts of GABPB1-AS1 were predicted by bioinformatics analyses. MicroRNA (miR)-330 inhibition was additionally introduced in the glioma cells after GABPB1-AS1 knockdown for rescue experiments. Animal studies were performed by inducing xenograft tumors in nude mice.

Results

GABPB1-AS1 was highly expressed in the glioma tissues and associated with advanced WHO grades. GABPB1-AS1 knockdown reduced proliferation and invasiveness of glioma cells in vitro and in vivo. miR-330 was a target transcript of GABPB1-AS1. miR-330 inhibition restored the malignancy of glioma cells. miR-330 directly bound to ZNF367. ZNF367 was highly expressed in glioma tissues and positively correlated with GABPB1-AS1 expression, and it was relevant to the cell cycle signaling pathway. Downregulation of GABPB1-AS1 reduced the expression of ZNF367 and reduced the levels of cell cycle-related proteins PCNA, CDC20, CDC7 and CCNA1 in cells.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated that GABPB1-AS1 competitively bound to miR-330 and de-repressed ZNF367 expression, leading to activation of the cell cycle signaling pathway and the growth and metastasis of glioma cells.

LncRNA GABPB1-AS1 and GABPB1 regulate oxidative stress during erastin-induced ferroptosis in HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Project description:Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic, iron-dependent oxidative form of cell death that is specifically induced by erastin in RAS mutant cancer cells. Ferroptotic cell death is the result of membrane lipid peroxide damage caused by the accumulation of hydroxyl radicals derived from H2O2 by the Fenton reaction. Peroxidases are key cellular antioxidant enzymes that block such damaging processes. Few studies have examined the roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the regulation of cellular oxidative stress, especially in ferroptosis. Here, we demonstrated that erastin upregulated the lncRNA GABPB1-AS1, which downregulated GABPB1 protein levels by blocking GABPB1 translation, leading to the downregulation of the gene encoding Peroxiredoxin-5 (PRDX5) peroxidase and the eventual suppression of the cellular antioxidant capacity. Such effects critically inhibited the cellular antioxidant capacity and cell viability. Additionally, high expression levels of GABPB1 were correlated with poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) Patients, while high GABPB1-AS1 levels in HCC patients correlated with improved overall survival. Collectively, these data demonstrate a mechanistic link between GABPB1 and its antisense lncRNA GABPB1-AS1 in erastin-induced ferroptosis and establish GABPB1 and GABPB1-AS1 as attractive therapeutic targets for HCC.

LEF1-AS1, long non-coding RNA, inhibits proliferation in myeloid malignancy.

Project description:LEF1 antisense RNA 1 (LEF1-AS1) is an antisense long non-coding RNA encoded in the lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) locus. LEF1-AS1 is a conserved transcript dysregulated in hematopoiesis. This study aimed to functionally characterize the role of this transcript in myeloid malignancy and explore a possible regulatory effect of LEF1-AS1 upon LEF1. We show that LEF1-AS1 is highly expressed in normal hematopoietic stem cells but barely detectable in myeloid malignant cell lines. Additionally, bone marrow cells from myelodysplastic syndrome (n=12) and acute myeloid malignancy patients (n=28) expressed significantly reduced levels of LEF1-AS1 compared to healthy controls (n=15). Artificial LEF1-AS1 over-expression inhibited proliferation in HL60 and led to an upregulation of tumor suppressors p21 and p27, and reduced ERK1/2 activation. Unexpectedly, no underlying modulation of LEF1 was detected. Ectopic expression of LEF1-AS1 also inhibited proliferation in HELA, a cell line lacking endogenous expression of LEF1, supporting a LEF1-independent mechanism. Additionally, transient over-expression of LEF1-AS1 in AML patient cells also led to reduced proliferation and colony formation capacity. We used a mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach. Proteomic quantification identified the modulation of an important metabolic regulator, Fumarase, and concomitant accumulation of the metabolite fumarate.

Long Non-Coding RNA LUCAT1 Promotes Progression of Thyroid Carcinoma by Reinforcing ADAM10 Expression Through Sequestering microRNA-493.

Project description:BackgroundLong non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LUCAT1 has recently been recognized as an oncogene in several malignancies. This study was launched to probe its role in thyroid carcinoma (TC) development and the implicated molecules.MethodsLUCAT1 expression in TC cell lines and in normal thyroid follicular epithelial cell line Nthy-ori3-1 was determined by RT-qPCR. Binding relationships between LUCAT1 and microRNA (miR)-493, and between miR-493 and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase-10 (ADAM10) were predicted on a bioinformatics system and then validated through luciferase reporter gene assays. Expression of miR-493 and ADAM10 in TC cells was determined. Gain- and loss-of functions of LUCAT1, miR-493 and ADAM10 were performed to explore their influences on the behaviors of TC cells. Xenograft tumors were induced in nude mice for in vivo studies.ResultsLUCAT1 and ADAM10 were highly expressed, while miR-493 was poorly expressed in TC cell lines. LUCAT1 served as a miR-493 sponge to upregulate ADAM10 expression. Silencing of LUCAT1 discouraged proliferation, invasion, and migration but triggered apoptosis of TC cells. By contrast, these changes were abrogated by further miR-493 inhibition or ADAM10 upregulation. The in vitro experiment results were reproduced in vivo. In addition, miR-493 inhibition or ADAM10 overexpression was found to increase the phosphorylation of STAT3 in cells.ConclusionThis study evidenced that LUCAT1 increases ADAM10 expression through sequestering miR-493, leading to JAK-STAT activation and TC cell growth and metastasis. LUCAT1 and ADAM10 may serve as therapeutic targets for TC treatment.

Protein sumoylation with SUMO1 promoted by Pin1 in glioma stem cells augments glioblastoma malignancy.

Project description:BackgroundThe tumorigenic potential of glioma stem cells (GSCs) is associated with multiple reversible molecular alternations, but the role of posttranslational protein sumoylation in GSCs has not been elucidated. The development of GSC-targeting drugs relies on the discovery of GSC-preferential molecular modifications and the relevant signaling pathways. In this work, we investigated the protein sumoylation status, the major sumoylated substrate, and the key regulatory enzyme in GSCs to explore the therapeutic potential of disrupting protein sumoylation for glioblastoma (GBM) treatment.MethodsPatient-derived GSCs, primary GBM sections, and intracranial GBM xenografts were used to determine protein sumoylation and the related molecular mechanisms by immunoblot, quantitative PCR, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry. Orthotopic GBM xenograft models were applied to investigate the inhibition of tumor growth by disrupting protein sumoylation with short hairpin (sh)RNAs or molecular inhibitors.ResultsWe show that high levels of small ubiquitin-related modifier 1 (SUMO1)-but not SUMO2/3-modified sumoylation are preferentially present in GSCs. The promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein is a major SUMO1-sumoylated substrate in GSCs, whose sumoylation facilitates its interaction with c-Myc to stabilize c-Myc proteins. The prolyl-isomerase Pin1 is preferentially expressed in GSCs and functions as the key enzyme to promote SUMO1 sumoylation. Disruption of SUMO1 sumoylation by Pin1 silencing with shRNAs or inhibition with its inhibitor Juglone markedly abrogated GSC maintenance and mitigated GSC-driven tumor growth.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that high SUMO1-modified protein sumoylation as a feature of GSCs is critical for GSC maintenance, suggesting that targeting SUMO1 sumoylation may effectively improve GBM treatment.

Hypoxia-induced long non-coding RNA DARS-AS1 regulates RBM39 stability to promote myeloma malignancy.

Project description:Multiple myeloma is a malignant plasma-cell disease, which is highly dependent on the hypoxic bone marrow microenvironment. However, the underlying mechanisms of hypoxia contributing to myeloma genesis are not fully understood. Here, we show that long non-coding RNA DARS-AS1 in myeloma is directly upregulated by hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1. Importantly, DARS-AS1 is required for the survival and tumorigenesis of myeloma cells both in vitro and in vivo DARS-AS1 exerts its function by binding RNA-binding motif protein 39 (RBM39), which impedes the interaction between RBM39 and its E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF147, and prevents RBM39 from degradation. The overexpression of RBM39 observed in myeloma cells is associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, knockdown of DARS-AS1 inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway, an effect that is reversed by RBM39 overexpression. We reveal that a novel HIF-1/DARS-AS1/RBM39 pathway is implicated in the pathogenesis of myeloma. Targeting DARS-AS1/RBM39 may, therefore, represent a novel strategy to combat myeloma.

Long non-coding RNA, HOTAIRM1, promotes glioma malignancy by forming a ceRNA network.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs play critical roles in tumorigenesis and the immune process. In this study, RNA sequencing data for 946 glioma samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas databases were analyzed to evaluate the prognostic value and function of homeobox A transcript antisense RNA myeloid-specific (HOTAIRM)1. HOTAIRM1 expression was associated with clinical and molecular features of glioma: patients with high HOTAIRM1 expression were more likely to be classified as malignant cases, and elevated HOTAIRM1 level was associated with shorter survival time in subgroups stratified by clinical and molecular features. A multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that HOTAIRM1 was an independent prognostic factor for patient outcome. In vitro experiments revealed that HOTAIRM1 knockdown suppressed the malignant behavior of glioma and increased tumor sensitivity to temozolomide. The results of an in silico analysis indicated that HOTAIRM1 promotes the malignancy of glioma by acting as a sponge for microRNA (miR)-129-5p and miR-495-3p. HOTAIRM1 overexpression was also associated with immune activation characterized by enhanced T cell-mediated immune and inflammatory responses. These results suggest that HOTAIRM1 is a prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target in glioma.

Long non-coding RNA USP30-AS1 aggravates the malignant progression of cervical cancer by sequestering microRNA-299-3p and thereby overexpressing PTP4A1.

Project description:USP30 antisense RNA 1 (USP30-AS1) has been studied in bladder urothelial carcinoma. However, the detailed role of USP30-AS1 in cervical cancer remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the present study determined whether USP30-AS1 is implicated in cervical cancer malignancy, and investigated relevant molecular mechanisms. USP30-AS1 expression was measured via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Functional experiments, including the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, Transwell migration and invasion assays, and mouse tumour model, were performed in order to elucidate the roles of USP30-AS1. The target of USP30-AS1 was predicted using bioinformatics analysis, which was further verified via RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays. Herein, USP30-AS1 overexpression was detected in cervical cancer sample data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and our cohort. Patients with cervical cancer expressing high levels of USP30-AS1 exhibited shorter overall survival than those with low USP30-AS1 expression. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that USP30-AS1 interference promoted cell apoptosis; restrained cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro, and hindered tumour growth in vivo. Mechanistically, USP30-AS1 competed for microRNA-299-3p (miR-299-3p) in cervical cancer and lowered the regulatory actions of miR-299-3p on protein tyrosine phosphatase type IVA (PTP4A1), resulting in PTP4A1 overexpression. Furthermore, rescue experiments confirmed that miR-299-3p interventions or exogenous PTP4A1 could counteract the cancer-inhibiting actions of USP30-AS1 silencing on cervical cancer cells. In conclusion, the miR-299-3p/PTP4A1 axis is the downstream effector of USP30-AS1 in cervical cancer, forming the USP30-AS1/miR-299-3p/PTP4A1 pathway. This newly identified competing endogenous RNA pathway may offer a novel theoretical and experimental basis for developing promising new strategies for the targeted therapy of cervical cancer.

Single-nucleotide polymorphism rs4142441 and MYC co-modulated long non-coding RNA OSER1-AS1 suppresses non-small cell lung cancer by sequestering ELAVL1.

Project description:Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been involved in the process of lung cancer. Following clues given by lung cancer risk-associated SNP, we aimed to find novel functional lncRNAs as candidate targets in lung cancer. We identified a lncRNA Oxidative Stress Responsive Serine Rich 1 Antisense RNA 1 (OSER1-AS1) through a lung cancer risk-associated SNP rs4142441. OSER1-AS1 was down-regulated in tumor tissue and its low expression was significantly associated with poor overall survival among non-smokers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Gain- and loss-of-function studies showed that OSER1-AS1 acted as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting lung cancer cell growth, migration and invasion in vitro. Xenograft tumor assays and a metastasis mouse model confirmed that OSER1-AS1 suppressed tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. The promoter of OSER1-AS1 was repressed by MYC, and the 3'-end of OSER1-AS1 was competitively targeted by microRNA hsa-miR-17-5p and RNA-binding protein ELAVL1. Our results indicated that OSER1-AS1 exerted tumor-suppressive functions by acting as an ELAVL1 decoy to keep it away from its target mRNAs. Our findings characterized OSER1-AS1 as a new tumor-suppressive lncRNA in NSCLC, suggesting that OSER1-AS1 may be suitable as a potential biomarker for prognosis, and a potential target for treatment.

Long non-coding RNA <i>BZRAP1-AS1</i> functions in malignancy and prognosis for non-small-cell lung cancer.

Project description:PurposeThe function of BZRAP1-AS1 is unknown in lung cancer. We evaluated the clinicopathologic significance of BZRAP1-AS1, and its role in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression.Patient and methodsSixty-three NSCLC patients from Beijing Chest Hospital were included. The expression of BZRAP1-AS1 was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Then, the clinicopathological significance and prognostic value of BZRAP1-AS1 were analyzed by using our cohort and TCGA cohort. Finally, the effect of BZRAP1-AS1 on proliferation and motility of NSCLC cell lines were evaluated by cell growth assay, colony formation assay, xenograft tumorigenesis experiment in nude mice and transwell assays respectively.ResultsCompared with adjacent normal tissues, BZRAP1-AS1 showed lower expression in NSCLC tumor tissues. As for the relationship between BZRAP1-AS1 and clinical characteristics, our results were consistent with those of TCGA data. BZRAP1-AS1 was lower in T1 than T2-T4 patients, N1-N3 than N0 patients. Low level BZRAP1-AS1 was related to shorter overall survival time (OS) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and poor first progression time (FP) in LUAD and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) patients. BZRAP1-AS1 was significantly associated with the prognosis of NSCLC patients. Overexpression of BZRAP1-AS1 inhibited proliferation and migration of H1299 and HCC827 cells.ConclusionBZRAP1-AS1 expression decreases in tumor tissues with the increase of malignancy grades in NSCLC. BZRAP1-AS1 plays an anticancer role by inhibiting cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, and has a potential prognostic value in NSCLC. BZRAP1-AS1 may serve as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for NSCLC.

Long non-coding RNA DDX11-AS1 promotes the proliferation and migration of glioma cells by combining with HNRNPC.

Project description:Glioma is a malignant tumor of the central nervous system with complex pathogenesis, difficult operation, and a high postoperative recurrence rate. At present, there is still a lack of effective treatment. Long non-coding RNA DDX11 antisense RNA 1 (DDX11-AS1) has been shown to promote tumor development, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, esophageal cancer, etc. However, its molecular mechanism in glioma is poorly understood. In this study, we found that the expression of DDX11-AS1 was elevated in glioma tissues, and patients with high expression of DDX11-AS1 had poor prognosis. DDX11-AS1 was a potential prognostic marker. Functionally, DDX11-AS1 promoted glioma cell proliferation and migration. Mechanistically, DDX11-AS1 interacted with RNA-binding protein heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (HNRNPC) to promote Wnt/β-catenin and AKT pathways and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process. In summary, our study manifests that the DDX11-AS1/HNRNPC axis may play a vital part in the occurrence and development of glioma, which provides new ideas and therapeutic targets for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of glioma.
