ELFN1-AS1 accelerates cell proliferation, invasion and migration via regulating miR-497-3p/CLDN4 axis in ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies indicated that long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) were involved in the progression of multiple cancers including ovarian cancer (OV). LncRNA ELFN1-AS1 functioned as an oncogene in many cancers, but its potential roles in OV were largely unclear. In the current study, we were aimed at clarifying the biological roles and molecular mechanisms of ELFN1-AS1 in OV. We found that ELFN1-AS1 was significantly upregulated in OV tissues and cell lines. High expression of ELFN1-AS1 was associated with poor prognosis in OV patients. Knockdown of ELFN1-AS1 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of SKOV3 cell lines and repressed tumor growth in xenografted ovarian models. Mechanistically, ELFN1-AS1 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of SKOV3 cells by sponging miR-497-3p. Additionally, CLDN4 was verified to be the target of miR-497-3p. Rescue experiments revealed that miR-497-3p inhibition could partly reverse the inhibitory effect of ELFN1-AS1 silencing on proliferation, migration and invasion of SKOV3 cell lines. Taken together, our findings indicated that ELFN1-AS1 acted as an oncogene in ovarian cancer through regulating the expression of CLDN4 by directly interacting with miR-497-3p. The results suggested that ELFN1-AS1 might act as a promising therapeutic target for OV.

Long-Noncoding RNA FGD5-AS1 Enhances the Viability, Migration, and Invasion of Glioblastoma Cells by Regulating the miR-103a-3p/TPD52 Axis.

Project description:Purpose:This study was designed to explore the functional role of FYVE, RhoGEF, and PH domain containing 5 antisense RNA 1 (FGD5-AS1) and the underlying regulatory mechanism in the progression of glioblastoma (GBM). Materials and Methods:FGD5-AS1 expression was analyzed in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and then detected in GBM tissues and cells by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Viability, migration, and invasion of GBM cells were assessed using the MTT, wound healing, and transwell assays, respectively. StarBase/TargetScan analysis and dual-luciferase reporter gene (DLR) assay were performed to investigate the relationship between FGD5-AS1/tumor protein D52 (TPD52) and miR-103a-3p. A xenograft tumor model was established to evaluate the role of FGD5-AS1 in GBM tumorigenesis in vivo. Results:FGD5-AS1 was overexpressed in GBM tissues and cells, and silencing of FGD5-AS1 expression resulted in the inhibition of the viability, migration, and invasion of GBM cells. miR-130-3p was a target of FGD5-AS1, and its expression was negatively regulated by FGD5-AS1. Silencing miR-103a-3p expression resulted in the abrogation of the inhibitory effects of si-FGD5-AS1 on the viability, migration, and invasion of GBM cells. TPD52 was a target of miR-103a-3p and suppressed the antitumor effects of FGD5-AS1 silencing on GBM cells. In addition, FGD5-AS1 silencing inhibited the growth of xenograft tumors in vivo by modulating the miR-103a-3p/TPD52 axis. Conclusion:Silencing of FGD5-AS1 inhibited the viability, migration, and invasion of GBM cells by regulating the miR-103a-3p/TPD52 axis.

lncRNA LOXL1-AS1 promotes liver cancer cell proliferation and migration by regulating the miR-377-3p/NFIB axis.

Project description:Liver cancer is becoming one of the most lethal malignancies due to its high incidence and mortality. Accumulating studies have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critical regulators of the tumorigenesis and development of various types of cancer, including liver cancer. LncRNA LOXL1-antisense RNA 1 (LOXL1-AS1) has been identified as an oncogene in some types of human cancer; however, its role in liver cancer remains obscure. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was used to measure LOXL1-AS1 expression in liver cancer tissues and cells. Western blot, MTT, colony formation, glucose uptake and wound healing assays were used to explore the biological function of LOXL1-AS1 in liver cancer cells. Bioinformatics analysis and RNA pull-down and luciferase reporter assays were used to explore the molecular mechanism of LOXL1-AS1 in liver cancer cells. Statistical analysis was used to compare the experimental results of different groups. In the present study, LOXL1-AS1 expression was significantly upregulated in liver cancer tissues and cells compared with in normal liver tissues and cells, respectively. High LOXL1-AS1 expression was associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with liver cancer. Furthermore, LOXL1-AS1-knockdown suppressed glucose metabolism, proliferation, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of liver cancer cells. Subsequently, LOXL1-AS1 acted as a microRNA (miR)-377-3p sponge, and nuclear factor I B (NFIB) was confirmed as the downstream target of miR-377-3p in liver cancer cells. Additionally, rescue assays suggested that NFIB overexpression countervailed the inhibitory influence of LOXL1-AS1 silencing on liver cancer cellular processes. The present study demonstrated that LOXL1-AS1 promoted glucose metabolism, proliferation, migration and EMT of liver cancer cells by sponging miR-377-3p and modulating NFIB, which may provide a novel insight for the treatment of liver cancer.

The miR-24-3p/p130Cas: a novel axis regulating the migration and invasion of cancer cells.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression by suppressing translation or facilitating mRNA decay. Differential expression of miRNAs is involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases including cancer. Here, we investigated the role of-miR-24-3p as a downregulated miRNA in metastatic cancer. miR-24-3p was decreased in metastatic cancer and lower expression of miR-24-3p was related to poor survival of cancer patients. Consistently, ectopic expression of miR-24-3p suppressed the cell migration, invasion, and proliferation of MCF7, Hep3B, B16F10, SK-Hep1, and PC-3 cells by directly targeting p130Cas. Stable expression of p130Cas restored miR-24-3p-mediated inhibition of cell migration and invasion. These results suggest that miR-24-3p functions as a tumor suppressor and the miR-24-3p/p130Cas axis is a novel factor of cancer progression by regulating cell migration and invasion.

The LMCD1-AS1/miR-526b-3p/OSBPL5 axis promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion in non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:PurposeTo explore the specific role and regulatory mechanism of oxysterol binding protein like 5 (OSBPL5) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods and resultsQuantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis demonstrated that OSBPL5 expression was notably elevated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines, and Kaplan-Meier analysis manifested that high OSBPL5 expression was closely related to the poor prognosis of NSCLC patients. Besides, according to the results from western blot analysis, cell counting kit-8, EdU and Transwell assays, knockdown of OSBPL5 suppressed NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Additionally, by performing qRT-PCR analysis, luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays, we verified that OSBPL5 was a downstream target of miR-526b-3p and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) LMCD1-AS1 served as a sponge for miR-526b-3p. Moreover, from rescue assays, we observed that OSBPL5 overexpression offset LMCD1-AS1 knockdown-mediated inhibition in cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT in NSCLC.ConclusionsThis paper was the first to probe the molecular regulatory mechanism of OSBPL5 involving the LMCD1-AS1/miR-526b-3p axis in NSCLC and our results revealed that the LMCD1-AS1/miR-526b-3p/OSBPL5 axis facilitates NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT, which may offer a novel therapeutic direction for NSCLC.

Project description:Background:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an essential role in the pathogenesis of malignant tumors, including gastric cancer (GC). However, the effect of circ_0032821 on GC remains largely unknown. Methods:QRT-PCR assay was employed to examine the levels of circ_0032821, CEP128 mRNA and miR-1236-3p. RNase R digestion assay was utilized to verify the feature of circ_0032821. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and transwell assay were adopted to evaluate cell proliferation and metastasis. The level of glycolysis was evaluated through detecting ECAR, OCR, lactate production, glucose uptake and ATP synthesis. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RIP assay were conducted to analyze the relationship between miR-1236-3p and circ_0032821 or HMGB1. Western blot assay was adopted for high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) level. Murine xenograft model assay was utilized for the effect of circ_0032821 in vivo. Results:High level of circ_0032821 was observed in GC tissues and cells. Silencing of circ_0032821 markedly repressed cell proliferation, metastasis and glycolysis in GC cells in vitro and blocked tumorigenesis of GC in vivo. For mechanism analysis, circ_0032821 was identified as the sponge of miR-1236-3p and HMGB1 was the target gene of miR-1236-3p. Moreover, miR-1236-3p suppression restored the influences of circ_0032821 deficiency on GC cell proliferation, metastasis and glycolysis. Overexpression of miR-1236-3p relieved the malignant behaviors of GC cells by targeting HMGB1. Conclusion:Circ_0032821 accelerated GC development through elevating HMGB1 expression via sponging miR-1236-3p.

Project description:Background:LncRNA dysregulation is implicated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) progression; However, the precise role and function of lncRNA MAFG-AS1 in ESCC remains unknown. Materials and Methods:Expressions of MAFG-AS1, miR-765, PDX1, GLUT1 and LDH-A were detected via qRT-PCR or/and Western blot in ESCC tissues and cell lines. CCK-8, transwell and glycolysis assays were used to investigate the effects of MAFG-AS1 on ESCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis after knockdown or overexpression of MAFG-AS1, and bioinformatics analyses, RNA pull-down and dual luciferase reporter systems were applied to investigate the interaction between MAFG-AS1, miR-765 and PDX1. Results:MAFG-AS1 was significantly up-modulated in ESCC tissues and cell lines. MAFG-AS1 significantly accelerated ESCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis. MAFG-AS1 competitively adsorbed miR-765, while miR-765 negatively modulated the expression of PDX1. miR-765 and PDX1 participated in the promotive effects of MAFG-AS1 on cell migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis in ESCC cells. Conclusion:Our research indicates that the MAFG-AS1/miR-765/PDX1 axis accelerates ESCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and aerobic glycolysis.

Long non-coding RNA PSMA3-AS1 enhances cell proliferation, migration and invasion by regulating miR-302a-3p/RAB22A in glioma.

Project description:Glioma is the most prevalent solid tumor in the central nervous system (CNS). Recently, it has been indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) substantially adjust the development of a variety of human cancers. In the present study, it was found and verified via microarray analysis that lncRNA PSMA3-AS1 exhibited a high expression in glioma tissues and cell lines. Then CCK-8, 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, plate clone assay, Transwell assay, Western blotting and nude mouse model were adopted to verify PSMA3-AS1's effects on glioma. Knockdown of PSMA3-AS1 inhibited the migration, proliferation and invasion of glioma cells in vivo and in vitro. Besides, PSMA3-AS1 bound to miR-302a-3p directly reduced the expression of miR-302a-3p, thus functioning as an endogenous sponge confirmed by luciferase reporter assay and bioinformatics analysis. PSMA3-AS1 knockdown remarkably enhanced the role of miR-302a-3p overexpression in cell behaviors in glioma. Moreover, these assays also confirmed that RAB22A was a target of miR-302a-3p. In this research, therefore, the PSMA3-AS1/miR-302a-3p/RAB22A pathway regulatory axis may be revealed in the pathogenesis of glioma, and PSMA3-AS1 can be used as an underlying target for the treatment and prognosis of glioma.

ADAR2/miR-589-3p axis controls glioblastoma cell migration/invasion.

Project description:Recent studies have reported the emerging role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in human cancers. We systematically characterized miRNA expression and editing in the human brain, which displays the highest number of A-to-I RNA editing sites among human tissues, and in de novo glioblastoma brain cancer. We identified 299 miRNAs altered in their expression and 24 miRNAs differently edited in human brain compared to glioblastoma tissues. We focused on the editing site within the miR-589-3p seed. MiR-589-3p is a unique miRNA almost fully edited (?100%) in normal brain and with a consistent editing decrease in glioblastoma. The edited version of miR-589-3p inhibits glioblastoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion, while the unedited version boosts cell proliferation and motility/invasion, thus being a potential cancer-promoting factor. We demonstrated that the editing of this miRNA is mediated by ADAR2, and retargets miR-589-3p from the tumor-suppressor PCDH9 to ADAM12, which codes for the metalloproteinase 12 promoting glioblastoma invasion. Overall, our study dissects the role of a unique brain-specific editing site within miR-589-3p, with important anticancer features, and highlights the importance of RNA editing as an essential player not only for diversifying the genomic message but also for correcting not-tolerable/critical genomic coding sites.

lncRNA TUG1 Promotes Cell Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma via Regulating miR-29c-3p/COL1A1 Axis.

Project description:Background:Taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) has been recognized as a novel oncogenic gene. The current study was established to explore the function and regulatory mechanism of TUG1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods:Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of TUG1, miR-29c-3p, and COL1A1 in tissues and cell lines. MTT assay, wound-healing and transwell assay were utilized for the detection of cell viability, migration and invasion, respectively. The interactions between miR-29c-3p and TUG1/COL1A1 were predicted by starBase v2.0 (http://starbase.sysu.edu.cn/) and verified by the dual-luciferase reporter or RNA immunoprecipitation assay. Western blot assay was performed to determine the protein levels of COL1A1, cyclin D1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Bcl-2, and Bax. Results:Dramatically increased expression of TUG1 was noticed in HCC tissues and cell lines. TUG1 knockdown restrained the proliferation, migration, and invasion, and promoted the apoptosis of HCC cells. TUG1 targeted miR-29c-3p and inhibited miR-29c-3p expression. Overexpression of miR-29c-3p inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells. MiR-29c-3p directly targeted COL1A1 and down-regulated COL1A1 expression. In addition, downregulation of miR-29c-3p and upregulation of COL1A1 both reversed the effects of TUG1 knockdown on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of HCC cells. Conclusion:TUG1 could promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells through regulating miR-29c-3p/COL1A1 axis. This novel finding might provide a latent target for the treatment of HCC.

Circ_0008039 supports breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and glycolysis by regulating the miR-140-3p/SKA2 axis.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been shown to modulate gene expression and participate in the development of multiple malignancies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of circ_0008039 in breast cancer (BC). The expression of circ_0008039, miR-140-3p and spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 2 (SKA2) was detected by qRT-PCR. Cell viability, colony formation, migration and invasion were evaluated using methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, colony formation assay, and transwell assay, respectively. Glucose consumption and lactate production were measured using commercial kits. Protein levels of hexokinase II (HK2) and SKA2 were determined by western blot. The interaction between miR-140-3p and circ_0008039 or SKA2 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Finally, a mouse xenograft model was established to investigate the roles of circ_0008039 in BC in vivo. We found that circ_0008039 and SKA2 were upregulated in BC tissues and cells, while miR-140-3p was downregulated. Knockdown of circ_0008039 suppressed BC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and glycolysis. Moreover, miR-140-3p could bind to circ_0008039 and its inhibition reversed the inhibitory effect of circ_0008039 interference on proliferation, migration, invasion, and glycolysis in BC cells. SKA2 was verified as a direct target of miR-140-3p and its overexpression partially inhibited the suppressive effect of miR-140-3p restoration in BC cells. Additionally, circ_0008039 positively regulated SKA2 expression by sponging miR-140-3p. Consistently, silencing circ_0008039 restrained tumor growth via increasing miR-140-3p and decreasing SKA2. In conclusion, circ_0008039 downregulation suppressed BC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and glycolysis partially through regulating the miR-140-3p/SKA2 axis, providing an important theoretical basis for treatment of BC.
