MiR-4293 upregulates lncRNA WFDC21P by suppressing mRNA-decapping enzyme 2 to promote lung carcinoma proliferation.

ABSTRACT: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) involve in diverse biological processes by post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Emerging evidence shows that miRNA-4293 plays a significant role in the development of non-small cell lung cancer. However, the oncogenic functions of miR-4293 have not been studied. Our results demonstrated that miR-4293 expression is markedly enhanced in lung carcinoma tissue and cells. Moreover, miR-4293 promotes tumor cell proliferation and metastasis but suppresses apoptosis. Mechanistic investigations identified mRNA-decapping enzyme 2 (DCP2) as a target of miR-4293 and its expression is suppressed by miR-4293. DCP2 can directly or indirectly bind to WFDC21P and downregulates its expression. Consequently, miR-4293 can further promote WFDC21P expression by regulating DCP2. With a positive correlation to miR-4293 expression, WFDC21P also plays an oncogenic role in lung carcinoma. Furthermore, knockdown of WFDC21P results in functional attenuation of miR-4293 on tumor promotion. In vivo xenograft growth is also promoted by both miR-4293 and WFDC21P. Overall, our results establish oncogenic roles for both miR-4293 and WFDC21P and demonstrate that interactions between miRNAs and lncRNAs through DCP2 are important in the regulation of carcinoma pathogenesis. These results provided a valuable theoretical basis for the discovery of lung carcinoma therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers based on miR-4293 and WFDC21P.

LncRNA OIP5-AS1 upregulates snail expression by sponging miR-34a to promote ovarian carcinoma cell invasion and migration.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough OIP5-AS1 has been characterized as an oncogenic lncRNA in many types of cancer, its role and underlying mechanism in ovarian carcinoma (OC) remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the role of OIP5-AS1 in OC.MethodsOC tissues and non-tumor tissues (ovary tissues within 3 cm around tumors) were collected from 58 OC patients (age range 36 to 67 years old, mean age 51.4 ± 5.9 years old). The expression of OIP5-AS1 and snail in paired tissues were determined by RT-qPCR. The interaction between OIP5-AS1 and miR-34a was predicted by IntaRNA2.0 and confirmed by dual luciferase reporter assay. The effects of overexpression of OIP5-AS1 and miR-34a on the expression of snail were analyzed by RT-qPCR and Western blotting. Cell invasion and migration were analyzed by Transwell assay.ResultsWe observed that the expression of OIP5-AS1 and snail was upregulated and positively correlated with each other in OC. RNA-RNA interaction analysis showed that OIP5-AS1 might sponge miR-34a. In OC cells, overexpression of OIP5-AS1 resulted in the upregulated expression of snail, while overexpression of miR-34a downregulated the expression of snail. In addition, overexpression of miR-34a reduced the effects of overexpression of OIP5-AS1 on the expression of snail. In cell invasion and migration assay, overexpression of OIP5-AS1 and snail resulted in increased OC cell invasion and migration, while overexpression of miR-34a decreased OC cell invasion and migration. Moreover, overexpression of miR-34a attenuated the effects of OIP5-AS1 overexpression on OC cell invasion and migration.ConclusionsTherefore, OIP5-AS1 may upregulate snail expression in OC by sponging miR-34a to promote OC cell invasion and migration.

lncRNA GABPB1 intronic transcript 1 upregulates pigment epithelium-derived factor via miR-93 to suppress cell proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Liver cancer ranks in the top 10 most common malignancies for both mortality rate and incidence worldwide. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common subtype of liver cancer. It has been reported that long non-coding RNA GABPB1 intronic transcript 1 (IT1) is downregulated in lung cancer and predicts poor survival. However, its role in live cancer remains unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the role of GABPB1-IT1 in HCC. A total of 64 patients with HCC (40 males and 24 females; range, 43-67 years old; mean age=55.1±5.1 years) were enrolled at the 96604 Military Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army between May 2012 and May 2014. The expression levels of GABPB1-IT1 and microRNA (miR)-93 in tumor and adjacent normal tissues were measured using quantitative PCR. A dual luciferase activity assay was performed to analyze the interaction between miR-93 and GABPB1-IT1. A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to analyze the effect of miR transfection on the proliferation of SNU-398 cells. It was demonstrated that GABPB1-IT1 can interact with miR-93 in HCC cells, while overexpression of GABPB1-IT1 and miR-93 in HCC cells did not affect the expression of each other. GABPB1-IT1 was downregulated in HCC tissues compared with paired non-tumor tissues and predicted poor survival. Notably, overexpression of GABPB1-IT1 in HCC cells led to upregulation of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a target of miR-93. In addition, overexpression of GABPB1-IT1 reduced the enhancing effects of miR-93 on HCC cell proliferation. Therefore, GABPB1-IT1 may upregulate PEDF through miR-93 to suppress cell proliferation in HCC.

The hDcp2 protein is a mammalian mRNA decapping enzyme.

Project description:Decapping of mRNA is a critical step in eukaryotic mRNA turnover, yet the proteins involved in this activity remain elusive in mammals. We identified the human Dcp2 protein (hDcp2) as an enzyme containing intrinsic decapping activity. hDcp2 specifically hydrolyzed methylated capped RNA to release m(7)GDP; however, it did not function on the cap structure alone. hDcp2 is therefore functionally distinct from the recently identified mammalian scavenger decapping enzyme, DcpS. hDcp2-mediated decapping required a functional Nudix (nucleotide diphosphate linked to an X moiety) pyrophosphatase motif as mutations in conserved amino acids within this motif disrupted the decapping activity. hDcp2 is detected exclusively in the cytoplasm and predominantly cosediments with polysomes. Consistent with the localization of hDcp2, endogenous Dcp2-like decapping activity was detected in polysomal fractions prepared from mammalian cells. Similar to decapping in yeast, the presence of the poly(A) tail was inhibitory to the endogenous decapping activity, yet unlike yeast, competition of cap-binding proteins by cap analog did not influence the efficiency of decapping. Therefore the mammalian homologue of the yeast Dcp2 protein is an mRNA decapping enzyme demonstrated to contain intrinsic decapping activity.

Biomolecular condensates amplify mRNA decapping by biasing enzyme conformation.

Project description:Cells organize biochemical processes into biological condensates. P-bodies are cytoplasmic condensates that are enriched in enzymes important for mRNA degradation and have been identified as sites of both storage and decay. How these opposing outcomes can be achieved in condensates remains unresolved. mRNA decapping immediately precedes degradation, and the Dcp1/Dcp2 decapping complex is enriched in P-bodies. Here, we show that Dcp1/Dcp2 activity is modulated in condensates and depends on the interactions promoting phase separation. We find that Dcp1/Dcp2 phase separation stabilizes an inactive conformation in Dcp2 to inhibit decapping. The activator Edc3 causes a conformational change in Dcp2 and rewires the protein-protein interactions to stimulate decapping in condensates. Disruption of the inactive conformation dysregulates decapping in condensates. Our results indicate that the regulation of enzymatic activity in condensates relies on a coupling across length scales ranging from microns to ångstroms. We propose that this regulatory mechanism may control the functional state of P-bodies and related phase-separated compartments.

LncRNA-LALR1 upregulates small nucleolar RNA SNORD72 to promote growth and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers and currently the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. One recent study reported that lncRNA-LALR1 promotes liver regeneration, the role and underlying mechanisms of lncRNA-LALR1 in HCC remain largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that lncRNA-LALR1 was significantly upregulated in HCC tissues compared with adjacent tissues and high expression of lncRNA-LALR1 was associated with advanced TNM stage, poor differentiation, and distant metastasis. RNA Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed lncRNA-LALR1 was expressed not only in cytoplasm but also in nucleolus. Knockdown of lncRNA-LALR1 obviously inhibited HCC cells growth and invasion in vivo and in vitro. Besides, transcriptomic analysis and subsequent confirmation revealed that lncRNA-LALR1 upregulated small nucleolar RNA SNORD72 via binding with SNORD72 and stabilized ID2 mRNA. SNORD72 was overexpressed in HCC tissues and enhanced HCC cells proliferation, colony formation and invasion. Overexpression of SNORD72 could also stabilize ID2 mRNA and rescue the inhibitory effect of silencing lncRNA-LALR1. In conclusion, lncRNA-LALR1 is highly expressed in HCC and promotes tumor growth and invasion by upregulating SNORD72 to stabilize ID2 mRNA, implying that lncRNA-LALR1 might be a novel target for intervention of HCC.

LncRNA SNHG20 promotes cell proliferation and invasion by suppressing miR-217 in ovarian cancer.

Project description:BackgroundOvarian cancer is the most common female gynecological malignancy. SNHG20, as a long non-coding RNA, has been proven to be an important regulator in the occurrence and development of various tumors. However, the potential mechanism of SNHG20 in ovarian cancer is unclear.ObjectiveThe present study was aimed to investigate the functions and mechanisms of SNHG20 in ovarian cancer.MethodsThe expression of SNHG20 and miR-217 in ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines was detected by qRT-PCR. CCK-8 assay was used to measure cell proliferation in transfected cells. The transwell assay was used to detect the relative invasion rate of transfected cells. The putative binding sites between SNHG20 and miR-217 were predicted by software LncBase v.2, and the interaction between SNHG20 and miR-217 was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assays and RIP assay. The rescue experiments were used to illustrate potential mechanisms.ResultsSNHG20 was upregulated in ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of SNHG20 promoted ovarian cancer cell proliferation and invasion. MiR-217 was downregulated in ovarian cancer tissues and cells, and was negatively regulated by SNHG20. Moreover, miR-217 overexpression inhibited ovarian cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Furthermore, miR-217 mimic reversed the inhibitory effect of SNHG20 overexpression on the biological behavior of ovarian cancer cells.ConclusionsSNHG20 promoted cell proliferation and invasion by sponging miR-217 in ovarian cancer. These results suggested that SNHG20 and miR-217 might provide new targets for therapeutic application in ovarian cancer.

The deadenylase components Not2p, Not3p, and Not5p promote mRNA decapping.

Project description:Decay of mRNA is essential for the efficient regulation of gene expression. A major pathway of mRNA degradation is initiated by the shortening of the poly(A) tail via the CCR4/NOT deadenylase complex. Deadenylation is followed by removal of the 5' cap (i.e., decapping) and then 5' to 3' exonucleolytic decay of the message body. The highly conserved CCR4/NOT deadenylase complex consists of the exonucleases CCR4 and POP2/CAF1, as well as a group of four or five (depending on organism) accessory factors of unknown function, i.e., the NOT proteins. In this study, we find thatSaccharomyces cerevisiaeNot2p, Not3p, and Not5p (close paralogs of each other) are involved in promoting mRNA decapping. Furthermore, we find that Not3p and Not5p bind to the decapping activator protein Pat1p. Together, these data implicate the deadenylase complex in coordinating the downstream decapping reaction via Not2p, Not3p, and Not5p. This suggests that the coupling of deadenylation with decapping is, in part, a direct consequence of coordinated assembly of decay factors.

Nudt3 is an mRNA decapping enzyme that modulates cell migration.

Project description:Removal of the 5'-end 7-methylguanosine cap structure is a critical step in the highly regulated process of mRNA decay. The Nudix hydrolase, Dcp2, was identified as a first decapping enzyme and subsequently shown to preferentially modulate stability of only a subset of mRNAs. This observation led to the hypothesis that mammalian cells possess multiple decapping enzymes that may function in distinct pathways. Here we report Nudt3 is a Nudix protein that possesses mRNA decapping activity in cells and is a modulator of MCF-7 breast cancer cell migration. Reduction of Nudt3 protein levels in MCF-7 cells promotes increased cell migration and corresponding enhanced filopodia extensions. Importantly, this phenotype was reversed by complementation with wild type, but not catalytically inactive Nudt3 protein indicating Nudt3 decapping activity normally functions to control cell migration. Genome-wide analysis of Nudt3 compromised cells identified elevated levels of transcripts involved in cell motility including integrin β6, lipocalin-2, and fibronectin. The observed increase in mRNA abundance was dependent on Nudt3 decapping activity where integrin β6 and lipocalin-2 were modulated directly through mRNA stability, while fibronectin was indirectly controlled. Moreover, increased cell migration observed in Nudt3 knockdown cells was mediated through the extracellular integrin β6 and fibronectin protein nexus. We conclude that Nudt3 is an mRNA decapping enzyme that orchestrates expression of a subset of mRNAs to modulate cell migration and further substantiates the existence of multiple decapping enzymes functioning in distinct cellular pathways in mammals.

The LncRNA LINC00963 facilitates osteosarcoma proliferation and invasion by suppressing miR-204-3p/FN1 axis.

Project description:Purpose: It remains unclear that long noncoding RNAs' role in cancer initiation and progression, including osteosarcoma. Long noncoding RNA LINC00963 was found to be participated in carcinogenesis and progression of osteosarcoma. However, the molecular mechanisms of LINC00963 engaged in osteosarcoma (OS) still needs to be explored. Methods: LINC00963 and miR-204-3p RNA expression levels were quantified by PCR in OS tissues and cells. CCK 8 assay, wound healing assay and transwell migration and invasion assay were chosen to assess cell growth, viability, migration, and invasion. Luciferase reporter assays were performed to verify direct interaction between LINC00963 and miR-204-3p and miR-204-3p and Fibronectin-1. Western blot was conducted to evaluate Fibronectin-1 expression in OS cells. Results: LINC00963 was verified to be highly expressed in OS samples and cells. Specifically, elevated expression of LINC00963 was correlated with poor prognosis in patients. Furthermore, LINC00963 overexpression was found to promote proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. The luciferase reporter assay showed that LINC00963 can suppress miR-204-3p by directly binding miR-204-3p. Rescue experiment results indicated that function of LINC00963 in osteosarcoma was miR-204-3p dependant. Besides, we initially explored Fibronectin-1 (FN1) as the target of LINC00963/miR-204-3p axis in osteosarcoma. Conclusions: Our findings implied that LINC00963/miR-204-3p/FN1 can play an important role in proliferation and progression in osteosarcoma. LINC00963 has the potential to be a therapeutic target for osteosarcoma treatment.

CircETFA upregulates CCL5 by sponging miR-612 and recruiting EIF4A3 to promote hepatocellular carcinoma

Project description:As a kind of malignant tumors, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been studied continuously, but the mechanisms are not well understood. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are widespread in eukaryotes and play an important role in the growth of organisms and in the occurrence of diseases. The role of circRNAs in HCC remains to be further explored. In this study, CircRNA microarray analysis was used to assess the plasma from HCC patients and healthy controls and to identify circRNAs involved in HCC tumorigenesis. CircETFA was overexpressed in HCC tissues, plasma, and cells. Clinicopathological data revealed that abnormally high circETFA expression was associated with a poor prognosis. In function, circETFA promotes the malignant phenotype of HCC cells in vivo and in vitro, inhibits cycle arrest, and decreases the proportion of apoptotic cells. In mechanism, it can upregulate C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) in HCC cells, thereby regulating the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway and other key downstream effectors (e.g., FoxO6). Furthermore, circETFA prolonged the half-life of CCL5 mRNA by recruiting the eukaryotic initiation factor 4A3 (EIF4A3) and acted as a sponge of hsa-miR-612 to suppress the silencing effect of hsa-miR-612 on CCL5. In conclusion, CircETFA can increase the expression of CCL5 to promote the progression of HCC by sponging hsa-mir-612 and recruiting EIF4A3, and is promising as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target.
