LncRNA-H19 regulates chemoresistance to carboplatin in epithelial ovarian cancer through microRNA-29b-3p and STAT3.

ABSTRACT: Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy is part of current standard treatment for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, chemoresistance often rapidly developed, leading to chemotherapy failure and unfavored prognosis. Increasing evidence has demonstrated the important role of oncogenic long noncoding RNA H19 in various cancers, including EOC. No current study is available in exploring the role of lncRNA-H19 in carboplatin resistance of EOC and its underlying mechanism. Methods: Levels of lncRNA-H19, miR-29b-3p, and STAT3 mRNA were measured by qRT-PCR. The 50% inhibitory concentration value was detected with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8). Colony-formation and CCK8 assays were employed to measure cell viability. Cell migration and invasion ability was evaluated with transwells. Western blot assay was utilized to measure P-gp, MRP1, LRP, and STAT3 protein levels. The targeting between lncRNA-H19 and miR-29b-3p, as well as miR-29b-3p and STAT3, was verified by dual-luciferase, RNA immunoprecipitation, and RNA pull-down experiments. Results: lncRNA-H19 and STAT3 were sharply increased, while miR-29b-3p was decreased in carboplatin-resistant EOC. Carboplatin efficacy was enhanced by lncRNA-H19 silencing in chemo-resistant EOC cells. lncRNA-H19 served as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-29b-3p, causing the derepression of miR-29b-3p downstream target STAT3, leading to chemoresistance in carboplatin-tolerated EOC. Conclusions: The lncRNA-H19/miR-29b-3p axis improved carboplatin resistance of EOC by targeting STAT3, indicating a possible approach to improving chemotherapy for EOC.

LncRNA H19/miR-29b-3p/PGRN Axis Promoted Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Colorectal Cancer Cells by Acting on Wnt Signaling.

Project description:This investigation was aimed at working out the combined role of lncRNA H19, miR-29b and Wnt signaling in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). In the aggregate, 185 CRC tissues and corresponding para-carcinoma tissues were gathered. The human CRC cell lines (i.e. HT29, HCT116, SW480 and SW620) and normal colorectal mucosa cell line (NCM460) were also purchased. Si-H19, si-NC, miR-29b-3p mimics, miR-29b-3p inhibitor, si-PGRN and negative control (NC) were, respectively, transfected into the CRC cells. Lucif-erase reporter plasmids were prepared to evaluate the transduction activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was arranged to confirm the targeted relationship between H19 and miR-29b-3p, as well as between miR-29b-3p and PGRN. Finally, the proliferative and invasive capacities of CRC cells were appraised through transwell, MTT and scratch assays. As a result, over-expressed H19 and down-expressed miR-29b-3p displayed close associations with the CRC patients' poor prognosis (P < 0.05). Besides, transfection with si-H19, miR-29b-3p mimic or si-PGRN were correlated with elevated E-cadherin expression, decreased snail and vimentin expressions, as well as less-motivated cell proliferation and cell metastasis (P < 0.05). Moreover, H19 was verified to directly target miR-29b-3p based on the luciferase reporter gene assay (P < 0.05), and miR-29b-3p also bound to PGRN in a direct manner (P < 0.05). Finally, addition of LiCl (Wnt/β-catenin pathway activator) or XAV93920 (Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor) would cause remarkably altered E-cadherin, c-Myc, vimentin and snail expressions, as well as significantly changed transcriptional activity of β-catenin/Tcf reporter plasmid (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the lncRNA H19/miR-29b-3p/PGRN/Wnt axis counted a great deal for seeking appropriate diagnostic biomarkers and treatment targets for CRC.

LncRNA H19 overexpression induces bortezomib resistance in multiple myeloma by targeting MCL-1 via miR-29b-3p.

Project description:Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, autologous/allogeneic stem cell transplantation, and targeted drug therapy are currently available therapeutic options for multiple myeloma (MM), but the clinical outcome remains unsatisfactory owing to frequent occurrence of drug resistance. Anti apoptosis is one of the main mechanisms to mediate drug resistance. Studies have shown that MCL-1 plays a key role in the growth of cancer cells "escaping" drug attacks, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Our previous study demonstrated that lncRNA H19 was highly expressed in the serum of MM patients. Bioinformatics predicts that miR-29b-3p is the downstream target gene, and MCL-1 is the downstream target protein of miR-29b-3p. Therefore, we speculated that MCL-1 may be involved in the occurrence of drug resistance through epigenetics. On the basis of these previous findings, the present study was intended to explore the biological function of H19, interactions between the downstream target genes, and the effect of H19 on BTZ resistance of myeloma cells. In addition, in vivo experiments we have also confirmed that H19 promoted tumor growth and may develop resistance to bortezomib partly. It was found that H19 reduced cell sensitivity to the chemotherapeutic drug BTZ by working as a miRNA sponge to inhibit the expression of miR-29b-3p, enhance MCL-1 transcriptional translation and inhibit apoptosis. These findings may help gain insights into the molecular mechanism of acquired BTZ resistance and develop new drug targets for the clinical treatment of MM.

The umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomal lncRNA H19 improves osteochondral activity through miR-29b-3p/FoxO3 axis.

Project description:BackgroundOur previous study revealed that the exosomal lncRNA H19 derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs) plays a pivotal role in osteochondral regeneration. In this study, we investigated whether the exosomal lncRNA H19 could act as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to potentiate osteochondral activity in chondrocytes.MethodsDual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were carried to verify the interaction between miR-29b-3p and both lncRNA H19 and the target mRNA FoxO3. Chondrocytes were treated with UMSC-derived exosomes, which highly expressing lncRNA H19 expression, followed by apoptosis, migration, senescence, and matrix secretion assessments. An in vivo SD rat cartilage defect model was carried out to explore the role and mechanism of lncRNA H19/miR-29b-3p.ResultsUMSCs were successfully identified, and exosomes were successfully extracted. Exosomes exhibited the ability to transfer lncRNA H19 to chondrocytes. Mechanistically, exosomal lncRNA H19 potentiated osteochondral activity by acting as a competing endogenous sponge of miR-29b-3p, and miR-29b-3p directly targeted FoxO3. Intra-articular injection of exosomes overexpressing lncRNA H19 could promote sustained cartilage repair; however, this effect could be undermined by miR-29b-3p agomir.ConclusionsOur study revealed a significant role in the development of strategies against cartilage defects for UMSC-derived exosomes that overexpress lncRNA H19. Exosomal H19 was found to promote chondrocyte migration, matrix secretion, apoptosis suppression, as well as senescence suppression, both in vitro and in vivo. The specific mechanism lies in the fact that exosomal H19 acts as a ceRNA against miR-29b-3p to upregulate FoxO3 in chondrocytes.

Platelet lysate induces chondrogenic differentiation of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells by regulating the lncRNA H19/miR-29b-3p/SOX9 axis.

Project description:Platelet lysate (PL) has been shown to induce chondrogenic differentiation of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs). However, the underlying mechanism is still not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether long noncoding RNA H19 is involved in this process. hUCMSCs were isolated, identified and cultured in 5% PL-supplemented chondrogenic differentiation medium. Chondrogenic differentiation was assessed by Alcian blue staining. The expressions of H19, miR-29b-3p, SRY-related high-mobility-group box 9 (SOX9), collagen II and aggrecan were determined by quantitative real-time PCR and western blot. The interaction between miR-29b-3p and H19 or SOX9 was analyzed by luciferase reporter assay. During PL-induced chondrogenic differentiation of hUCMSCs, expressions of H19 and SOX9 were increased, whereas miR-29b-3p expression was decreased. H19 overexpression promoted, whereas H19 silencing attenuated the PL-induced chondrogenic differentiation of hUCMSCs. SOX9 was identified as a direct target of miR-29b-3p, and H19 was observed to act as a sponge of miR-29b-3p to up-regulate SOX9 expression. The chondrogenic differentiation-promoting effect of H19 overexpression was negated when miR-29b-3p expression was up-regulated by Lenti-miR-29b-3p infection. In conclusion, PL induced chondrogenic differentiation of hUCMSCs by regulating the H19/miR-29b-3p/SOX9 axis.

MicroRNA-520g promotes epithelial ovarian cancer progression and chemoresistance via DAPK2 repression.

Project description:The lack of efficient tumor progression and chemoresistance indicators leads to high mortality in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients. Dysregulated miR-520g expression is involved in these processes in hepatic and colorectal cancers. In this study, we found that miR-520g expression gradually increased across normal, benign, borderline and EOC tissues. High miR-520g expression promoted tumor progression and chemoresistance to platinum-based chemotherapy, and reduced survival in EOC patients. miR-520g upregulation increased EOC cell proliferation, induced cell cycle transition and promoted cell invasion, while miR-520g downregulation inhibited tumor-related functions. In vivo, overexpression or downregulation of miR-520g respectively generated larger or smaller subcutaneous xenografts in nude mice. Death-associated protein kinase 2 (DAPK2) was a direct target of miR-520g. In 116 EOC tissue samples, miR-520g expression was significantly lower following DAPK2 overexpression. DAPK2 overexpression or miR-520g knockdown reduced EOC cell proliferation, invasion, wound healing and chemoresistance. This study suggests that miR-520g contributes to tumor progression and drug resistance by post-transcriptionally downregulating DAPK2, and that miR-520g may be a valuable therapeutic target in patients with EOC.

H19 lncRNA regulates keratinocyte differentiation by targeting miR-130b-3p.

Project description:Aberrant differentiation of keratinocytes has been demonstrated to be associated with a number of skin diseases. A growing number of studies have showed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have an important part in gene regulation, however, the role of lncRNAs in keratinocyte differentiation remains to be largely unknown. In the present study, we demonstrated that lncRNA-H19 act as an endogenous 'sponge', which binds directly to miR-130b-3p and therefore inhibits its activity on Dsg1. MiR-130b-3p was illustrated to inhibit keratinocyte differentiation by targeting Dsg1. H19 regulates Dsg1 expression and the consequent keratinocyte differentiation through miR-130b-3p. Our study casts light on a novel regulatory model of keratinocyte differentiation, which may provide new therapeutic targets of skin diseases.

Targeting lncRNA H19/miR-29b/COL1A1 Axis Impedes Myofibroblast Activities of Precancerous Oral Submucous Fibrosis.

Project description:Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is known as a potentially malignant disorder, which may result from chemical irritation due to areca nuts (such as arecoline). Emerging evidence suggests that fibrogenesis and carcinogenesis are regulated by the interaction of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs. Among these regulators, profibrotic lncRNA H19 has been found to be overexpressed in several fibrosis diseases. Here, we examined the expression of H19 in OSF specimens and its functional role in fibrotic buccal mucosal fibroblasts (fBMFs). Our results indicate that the aberrantly overexpressed H19 contributed to higher myofibroblast activities, such as collagen gel contractility and migration ability. We also demonstrated that H19 interacted with miR-29b, which suppressed the direct binding of miR-29b to the 3'-untranslated region of type I collagen (COL1A1). We showed that ectopic expression of miR-29b ameliorated various myofibroblast phenotypes and the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), COL1A1, and fibronectin (FN1) in fBMFs. In OSF tissues, we found that the expression of miR-29b was downregulated and there was a negative correlation between miR-29b and these fibrosis markers. Lastly, we demonstrate that arecoline stimulated the upregulation of H19 through the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β pathway. Altogether, this study suggests that increased TGF-β secretion following areca nut chewing may induce the upregulation of H19, which serves as a natural sponge for miR-29b and impedes its antifibrotic effects.

LncRNA-ATB regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition progression in pulmonary fibrosis via sponging miR-29b-2-5p and miR-34c-3p.

Project description:Dysregulation of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has been proved to play pivotal roles in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and fibrosis. We have previously demonstrated the crucial function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ATB in silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis-related EMT progression. However, the underlying molecular mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Here, we verified miR-29b-2-5p and miR-34c-3p as two vital downstream targets of lncRNA-ATB. As opposed to lncRNA-ATB, a significant reduction of both miR-29b-2-5p and miR-34c-3p was observed in lung epithelial cells treated with TGF-β1 and a murine silicosis model. Overexpression miR-29b-2-5p or miR-34c-3p inhibited EMT process and abrogated the pro-fibrotic effects of lncRNA-ATB in vitro. Further, the ectopic expression of miR-29b-2-5p and miR-34c-3p with chemotherapy attenuated silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis in vivo. Mechanistically, TGF-β1-induced lncRNA-ATB accelerated EMT as a sponge of miR-29b-2-5p and miR-34c-3p and shared miRNA response elements with MEKK2 and NOTCH2, thus relieving these two molecules from miRNA-mediated translational repression. Interestingly, the co-transfection of miR-29b-2-5p and miR-34c-3p showed a synergistic suppression effect on EMT in vitro. Furthermore, the co-expression of these two miRNAs by using adeno-associated virus (AAV) better alleviated silica-induced fibrogenesis than single miRNA. Approaches aiming at lncRNA-ATB and its downstream effectors may represent new effective therapeutic strategies in pulmonary fibrosis.

Direct Upregulation of STAT3 by MicroRNA-551b-3p Deregulates Growth and Metastasis of Ovarian Cancer.

Project description:3q26.2 amplification in high-grade serous ovarian cancer leads to increased expression of mature microRNA miR551b-3p, which is associated with poor clinical outcome. Importantly, miR551b-3p contributes to resistance to apoptosis and increased survival and proliferation of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. miR551b-3p upregulates STAT3 protein levels, and STAT3 is required for the effects of miR551b-3p on cell proliferation. Rather than decreasing levels of target mRNA as expected, we demonstrate that miR551b-3p binds a complementary sequence on the STAT3 promoter, recruiting RNA polymerase II and the TWIST1 transcription factor to activate STAT3 transcription, and thus directly upregulates STAT3 expression. Furthermore, anti-miR551b reduced STAT3 expression in ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in vivo and reduced ovarian cancer growth in vivo. Together, our data demonstrate a role for miR551b-3p in transcriptional activation. Thus, miR551b-3p represents a promising candidate biomarker and therapeutic target in ovarian cancer.

lncRNA H19 Alleviated Myocardial I/RI via Suppressing miR-877-3p/Bcl-2-Mediated Mitochondrial Apoptosis.

Project description:Ischemic cardiac disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Despite the great efforts and progress in cardiac research, the current treatment of cardiac ischemia reperfusion injury (I/RI) is still far from being satisfactory. This study was performed to investigate the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 in regulating myocardial I/RI. We found that H19 expression was downregulated in the I/R hearts of mice and cardiomyocytes treated with H2O2. Overexpression of H19 alleviated myocardial I/RI of mice and cardiomyocyte injury induced by H2O2. We found that H19 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-877-3p, which decreased the expression of miR-877-3p through the base-pairing mechanism. In parallel, miR-877-3p was upregulated in H2O2-treated cardiomyocytes and mouse ischemia reperfusion (I/R) hearts. miR-877-3p exacerbated myocardial I/RI and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. We further established Bcl-2 as a downstream target of miR-877-3p. miR-877-3p inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of Bcl-2. Furthermore, H19 decreased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio at mRNA and protein levels, cytochrome c release, and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 in myocardial I/RI mice, which were canceled by miR-877-3p. In summary, the H19/miR-877-3p/Bcl-2 pathway is involved in regulation of mitochondrial apoptosis during myocardial I/RI, which provided new insight into molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of myocardial I/RI.
