Long noncoding RNA UCA1 regulates HCV replication and antiviral response via miR-145-5p/SOCS7/IFN pathway.

ABSTRACT: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection involves a variety of viral and host factors, which leads to the dysregulation of number of relevant genes including long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs). LncRNA urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) has been reported to be upregulated in HCV-infected individuals. In a bid to elucidate on the contribution of UCA1 on HCV replication, we infected Huh7.5 cells with cell culture-derived HCV and found that UCA1 expression was elevated in time- and dose-dependent manners. Functionally, UCA1 knockdown by siRNA upregulated interferon (IFN) responses, thereby increasing the expression of interferon-stimulating genes (ISGs), and subsequently suppressing HCV replication. Bioinformatics analysis and experimental results indicated that, functioning as competitive endogenous RNA, UCA1 could sponge microRNA (miR)-145-5p, which targeted suppressor of cytokine signaling 7 (SOCS7) mRNA and subsequently mediated SOCS7 silencing. Moreover, SOCS7 protein exerted an inhibitory effect on IFN responses, thereby facilitating HCV replication. Taken together, at first, our findings demonstrate that UCA1 can counteract the expression of miR-145-5p, thereby upregulating the level of SOCS7, and in turn leading to the suppression of antiviral response in Huh7.5 cells.

Project description:Our present work was aimed to study on the regulatory role of MALAT1/miR-145-5p/AKAP12 axis on docetaxel (DTX) sensitivity of prostate cancer (PCa) cells. The microarray data (GSE33455) to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in DTX-resistant PCa cell lines (DU-145-DTX and PC-3-DTX) was retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. QRT-PCR analysis was performed to measure MALAT1 expression in DTX-sensitive and DTX-resistant tissues/cells. The human DTX-resistant cell lines DU145-PTX and PC3-DTX were established as in vitro cell models, and the expression of MALAT1, miR-145-5p and AKAP12 was manipulated in DTX-sensitive and DTX-resistant cells. Cell viability was examined using MTT assay and colony formation methods. Cell apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL staining. Cell migration and invasion was determined by scratch test (wound healing) and Transwell assay, respectively. Dual-luciferase assay was applied to analyse the target relationship between lncRNA MALAT1 and miR-145-5p, as well as between miR-145-5p and AKAP12. Tumour xenograft study was undertaken to confirm the correlation of MALAT1/miR-145-5p/AKAP12 axis and DTX sensitivity of PCa cells in vivo. In this study, we firstly notified that the MALAT1 expression levels were up-regulated in clinical DTX-resistant PCa samples. Overexpressed MALAT1 promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion but decreased cell apoptosis rate of PCa cells in spite of DTX treatment. We identified miR-145-5p as a target of MALAT1. MiR-145-5p overexpression in PC3-DTX led to inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion as well as reduced chemoresistance to DTX, which was attenuated by MALAT1. Moreover, we determined that AKAP12 was a target of miR-145-5p, which significantly induced chemoresistance of PCa cells to DTX. Besides, it was proved that MALAT1 promoted tumour cell proliferation and enhanced DTX-chemoresistance in vivo. There was an lncRNA MALAT1/miR-145-5p/AKAP12 axis involved in DTX resistance of PCa cells and provided a new thought for PCa therapy.
