SPHK1 contributes to cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer cells via the NONO/STAT3 axis.

ABSTRACT: Sphingosine‑1‑phosphate (S1P) serves an important role in various physiological and pathophysiological processes, including the regulation of cell apoptosis, proliferation and survival. Sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) is a lipid kinase that phosphorylates sphingosine to generate S1P. S1P has been proven to be positively correlated with chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer, colorectal carcinoma and non‑small cell lung cancer. However, whether SPHK1 is involved in the development of cisplatin resistance remains to be elucidated. The present study aimed to identify the association between SPHK1 and chemoresistance in bladder cancer cells and to explore the therapeutic implications in patients with bladder cancer. Bladder cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined using Cell Counting Kit‑8 assays and flow cytometry, respectively. Apoptosis‑related proteins were detected via western blotting. The results revealed that SPHK1 was positively correlated with cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer cells, exhibiting an antiapoptotic effect that was reflected by the downregulation of apoptosis‑related proteins (Bax and cleaved caspase‑3) and the upregulation of an antiapoptotic protein (Bcl‑2) in SPHK1‑overexpression cell lines. Suppression of SPHK1 by small interfering RNA or FTY‑720 significantly reversed the antiapoptotic effect. A potential mechanism underlying SPHK1‑induced cisplatin resistance and apoptosis inhibition may be activation of STAT3 via binding non‑POU domain containing octamer binding. In conclusion, the present study suggested that SPHK1 displayed significant antiapoptotic effects in cisplatin‑based treatment, thus may serve as a potential novel therapeutic target for the treatment for bladder cancer.

Project description:Purpose:Lung cancer is one of the most prevailing human cancers worldwide. Emerging evidence implies that long non-coding RNA nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase-antisense RNA1 (NNT-AS1) is implicated in the tumorigenesis of lung cancer. Herein, we aimed to expose the impact of NNT-AS1 on the drug resistance of lung cancer. Methods:Levels of NNT-AS1, microRNA (miR)-1236-3p and autophagy-related gene 7 (ATG7) were evaluated using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was implemented to detect cell proliferation and the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of cisplatin (DDP) in vitro. Moreover, flow cytometry was performed to assess cell apoptosis. Cell migration and invasion were examined utilizing transwell assay in lung cancer cells. Besides, levels of ATG7 and cell behavior-related proteins were determined via Western blot. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was administrated to identify the interaction between miR-1236-3p and NNT-AS1 or ATG7. The biological role of NNT-AS1 in DDP ?resistance of lung cancer was examined by xenograft tumor model in vivo. Results:NNT-AS1 and ATG7 were upregulated, whereas miR-1236-3p was curbed in lung cancer tissues and in with or without DDP-resistant cell lines. NNT-AS1 detection significantly constrained cell growth, metastasis, and the IC50 of DDP in A549/DDP and H522/DDP cells. Interestingly, the influence of miR-1236-3p mimic on DDP resistance was overturned via NNT-AS1 upregulation in vitro. Reintroduction of miR-1236-3p inhibitor relieved the effect of ATG7 silencing on DDP sensitivity in A549/DDP and H522/DDP cells. Importantly, NNT-AS1 was a sponge of miR-1236-3p to separate ATG7. Besides, NNT-AS1 silencing enhanced DDP sensitivity of lung cancer in vivo. Conclusion:NNT-AS1/miR-1236-3p/ATG7 axis regulated DDP resistance in lung cancer cells and might supply a probable target and prognostic marker in lung cancer treatment.
