Long non-coding RNA NR2F1-AS1 induces breast cancer lung metastatic dormancy by regulating NR2F1 and ΔNp63.

ABSTRACT: Disseminated tumor cells often fall into a long term of dormant stage, characterized by decreased proliferation but sustained survival, in distant organs before awakening for metastatic growth. However, the regulatory mechanism of metastatic dormancy and awakening is largely unknown. Here, we show that the epithelial-like and mesenchymal-like subpopulations of breast cancer stem-like cells (BCSCs) demonstrate different levels of dormancy and tumorigenicity in lungs. The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NR2F1-AS1 (NAS1) is up-regulated in the dormant mesenchymal-like BCSCs, and functionally promotes tumor dissemination but reduces proliferation in lungs. Mechanistically, NAS1 binds to NR2F1 mRNA and recruits the RNA-binding protein PTBP1 to promote internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-mediated NR2F1 translation, thus leading to suppression of ΔNp63 transcription by NR2F1. Furthermore, ΔNp63 downregulation results in epithelial-mesenchymal transition, reduced tumorigenicity and enhanced dormancy of cancer cells in lungs. Overall, the study links BCSC plasticity with metastatic dormancy, and reveals the lncRNA as an important regulator of both processes.

Late recurrence-associated long non-coding RNA NR2F1 antisense 1 (NR2F1-AS1)

Project description:Long non-coding RNA NR2F1 antisense RNA1 (lncRNA NR2F1-AS1) was identified as the main candidate associated to late recurrence in ER-positive breast cancer clinical samples. Gain-of-function of NR2F1-AS1 induced the expression of dormancy-inducers BMP4 and DEC2, and upregulated pluripotency markers NANOG and OCT4. Representative pathways entailed to metastatic events such as HER2/Neu, hypoxia, EMT and inflammatory-response were also found enriched.

Long non-coding NR2F1-AS1 is associated with tumor recurrence in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers.

Project description:The tenacity of late recurrence of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer remains a major clinical issue to overcome. The administration of endocrine therapies within the first 5 years substantially minimizes the risk of relapse; however, some tumors reappear 10-20 years after the initial diagnosis. Accumulating evidence has strengthened the notion that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with cancer in various respects. Because lncRNAs may display high tissue/cell specificity, we hypothesized this might provide new insights to tumor recurrence. By comparing transcriptome profiles of 24 clinical primary tumors obtained from patients who developed distant metastases and patients with no signs of recurrence, we identified lncRNA NR2F1-AS1 whose expression was associated with tumor recurrence. We revealed the relationship between NR2F1-AS1 and the hormone receptor expressions in ER-positive breast cancer cells. Gain of function of NR2F1-AS1 steered cancer cells into quiescence-like state by the upregulation of dormancy inducers and pluripotency markers, and activates representative events of the metastatic cascade. Our findings implicated NR2F1-AS1 in the dynamics of tumor recurrence in ER-positive breast cancers and introduce a new biomarker that holds a therapeutic potential, providing favorable prospects to be translated into the clinical field.

Long non-coding RNA NR2F1-AS1 promoted proliferation and migration yet suppressed apoptosis of thyroid cancer cells through regulating miRNA-338-3p/CCND1 axis.

Project description:Thyroid cancer (TC) is a prevalent endocrine malignant cancer whose pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. The aim of the study was to investigate the roles of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NR2F1-AS1/miRNA-338-3P/CCND1 axis in TC progression. Differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in TC tissues were screened out and visualized by R program. Relative expression of NR2F1-AS1, miRNA-338-3p and cyclin D1 (CCND1) was determined by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction. In addition, Western blot analysis was adopted for evaluation of protein expression of CCND1. Targeted relationships between NR2F1-AS1 and miRNA-338-3p, as well as miRNA-338-3p and CCND1 were predicted using bioinformatics analysis and validated by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Besides, tumour xenograft assay was adopted for verification of the role of NR2F1-AS1 in TC in vivo. NR2F1-AS1 and CCND1 were overexpressed, whereas miRNA-338-3p was down-regulated in TC tissues and cell lines. Down-regulation of NR2F1-AS1 and CCND1 suppressed proliferation and migration of TC cells yet greatly enhanced cell apoptotic rate. Silence of NR2F1-AS1 significantly suppressed TC tumorigenesis in vivo. NR2F1-AS1 sponged miRNA-338-3p to up-regulate CCND1 expression to promote TC progression. Our study demonstrated that up-regulation of NR2F1-AS1 accelerated TC progression through regulating miRNA-338-3P/CCND1 axis.

Long non-coding RNA MUC5B-AS1 promotes metastasis through mutually regulating MUC5B expression in lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been involved in the process of cancer occurrence, progression, and treatment. Lung cancer-related lncRNAs are still an emerging field, thus we sought to identify novel functional lncRNAs as candidate targets in lung cancer. Here, we identified one novel lncRNA, MUC5B-AS1 (Ensembl: ENST00000532061.2). MUC5B-AS1 was upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues compared with normal lung tissues. Moreover, MUC5B-AS1 promoted lung cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and promoted lung cancer cell metastasis in vivo. MUC5B-AS1 and its cognate sense transcript MUC5B were highly co-expressed and mutually regulated in lung adenocarcinoma. Mechanistically, MUC5B-AS1 promoted cell migration and invasion by forming an RNA-RNA duplex with MUC5B, thereby increasing MUC5B expression levels in lung adenocarcinoma. The high expression of MUC5B was significantly associated with poor outcomes in lung adenocarcinoma. Our findings highlight MUC5B-AS1 functions as an oncogenic lncRNA in tumor metastasis and implicate MUC5B-AS1 as an attractive candidate target for lung adenocarcinoma treatment.

Hypoxia-induced long noncoding RNA NR2F1-AS1 maintains pancreatic cancer proliferation, migration, and invasion by activating the NR2F1/AKT/mTOR axis.

Project description:Accumulating evidence has demonstrated the essential role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in various types of human cancer, including pancreatic cancer (PC). However, the functions and regulatory mechanisms of nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 1 antisense RNA 1 (NR2F1-AS1) that are responsible for its role in the malignant progression of PC cells remains to be investigated. In this study, the biological effects of NR2F1-AS1 and NR2F1 in PC were investigated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. The mechanisms of NR2F1-AS1 were monitored by bioinformatic predictive analysis and confirmatory experiments. Our results indicated that NR2F1-AS1 was overexpressed and positively correlated with poor survival in PC. Depletion of NR2F1-AS1 restrained PC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and suppressed xenograft tumor growth and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic experiments suggested that NR2F1-AS1 positively regulated the neighboring NR2F1 gene, which subsequently activated AKT/mTOR signaling, resulting in the upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Further investigations elucidated that NR2F1-AS1 expression was transcriptionally regulated by HIF-1α under hypoxia. These findings demonstrated that hypoxia-induced NR2F1-AS1 expression directly increased NR2F1 levels to promote PC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by activating AKT/mTOR signaling. Together, these findings suggest that NR2F1-AS1 could be a prospective therapeutic target for PC.
