Circular RNA hsa_circ_0001306 Functions as a Competing Endogenous RNA to Regulate FBXW7 Expression by Sponging miR-527 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to regulate many types of cancers, including HCC. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential roles of hsa_circ_0001306 in HCC. Firstly, the downregulation of hsa_circ_0001306 was identified by high‑throughput RNA sequencing and further verified by qRT-PCR. Secondly, we evaluated the effects of hsa_circ_0001306 on HCC cell proliferation, invasion, cell cycle. Finally, we used an animal model to validate the in vitro experimental results. The expression of hsa_circ_0001306 was closely related to tumor size. Knockdown of hsa_circ_0001306 could downregulate F-box and WD repeat domain containing 7(FBXW7), a target of miR-527, thereby promoting HCC cell proliferation and invasion. Furthermore, hsa_circ_0001306 siRNA increased the multiplication rate of HCC tumors. Mechanistic studies indicated that hsa_circ_0001306 acts as a ceRNA for miR-527, which resulted in the reduction of its endogenous target, FBXW7. Hsa_circ_001306 is significantly downregulated in HCC, and the hsa_circ_0001306/miR-527/FBXW7 axis plays an important role in HCC progression.

Lnc RNA HOTAIR functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate HER2 expression by sponging miR-331-3p in gastric cancer.

Project description:BackgroundAccumulating evidence indicates that the long non-coding RNA HOTAIR plays a critical role in cancer progression and metastasis. However, the overall biological role and clinical significance of HOTAIR in gastric carcinogenesis remains largely unknown.MethodsHOTAIR expression was measured in 78 paired cancerous and noncancerous tissue samples by real-time PCR. The effects of HOTAIR on gastric cancer cells were studied by overexpression and RNA interference approaches in vitro and in vivo. Insights of the mechanism of competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) were gained from bioinformatic analysis, luciferase assays and RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP). The positive HOTAIR/HER2 interaction was identified and verified by immunohistochemistry assay and bivariate correlation analysis.ResultsHOTAIR upregulation was associated with larger tumor size, advanced pathological stage and extensive metastasis, and also correlated with shorter overall survival of gastric cancer patients. Furthermore, HOTAIR overexpression promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric carcinoma cells, while HOTAIR depletion inhibited both cell invasion and cell viability, and induced growth arrest in vitro and in vivo. In particular, HOTAIR may act as a ceRNA, effectively becoming a sink for miR-331-3p, thereby modulating the derepression of HER2 and imposing an additional level of post-transcriptional regulation. Finally, the positive HOTAIR/HER2 correlation was significantly associated with advanced gastric cancers.ConclusionsHOTAIR overexpression represents a biomarker of poor prognosis in gastric cancer, and may confer malignant phenotype to tumor cells. The ceRNA regulatory network involving HOTAIR and the positive interaction between HOTAIR and HER2 may contribute to a better understanding of gastric cancer pathogenesis and facilitate the development of lncRNA-directed diagnostics and therapeutics against this disease.

Circular RNA ZNF609 functions as a competitive endogenous RNA to regulate AKT3 expression by sponging miR-150-5p in Hirschsprung's disease.

Project description:Research over the past decade suggested critical roles for circular RNAs in the natural growth and disease progression. However, it remains poorly defined whether the circular RNAs participate in Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). Here, we reported that the cir-ZNF609 was down-regulated in HSCR compared with normal bowel tissues. Furthermore, suppression of cir-ZNF609 inhibited the proliferation and migration of cells. We screened out several putative cir-ZNF609 ceRNAs of which the AKT3 transcript was selected. Finally, RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that cir-ZNF609 may act as a sponge for miR-150-5p to modulate the expression of AKT3. In conclusion, these findings illustrated that cir-ZNF609 took part in the onset of HSCR through the crosstalk with AKT3 by competing for shared miR-150-5p.

NEAT1_2 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate ATAD2 expression by sponging microRNA-106b-5p in papillary thyroid cancer.

Project description:Nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1), a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), is a core structural component of paraspeckles and is essential for paraspeckle formation. NEAT1 comprises two different isoforms: NEAT1_1 (3.7?kb) and NEAT1_2 (23?kb). Recently, NEAT1 has been shown to have oncogenic roles and to facilitate tumorigenesis in various human cancers. However, the function of NEAT1 in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is not well understood. The relative expression levels of NEAT1_2, ATPase family AAA domain-containing protein 2 (ATAD2), and microRNA-106b-5p (miR-106b-5p) were assessed via quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Four PTC cell lines were used to detect the relative expression of NEAT1_2. The effects of NEAT1_2 on PTC cells were studied by RNA interference approaches in vitro. The effects of NEAT1_2 on downstream proteins were detected by western blotting. The underlying mechanism was clarified by a rescue experiment, and three dual-luciferase reporter assays. NEAT1_2 expression was markedly increased in PTC tissues and the PTC cell lines (K1 and TPC1). The relative expression level of NEAT1_2 was positively associated with TNM stage and tumor size. NEAT1_2 knockdown led to a significant inhibition of growth and metastasis, and induced apoptosis in PTC cells. Knockdown of NEAT1_2 significantly inhibited malignant biological behavior by downregulating the oncogene ATAD2. In addition, NEAT1_2 could act as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate the expression of ATAD2 through downregulating miR-106b-5p. Taken together, our results indicated that NEAT1_2 is overexpressed in PTC. NEAT1_2 could function as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate ATAD2 expression by sponging miR-106b-5p in PTC. Targeting NEAT1_2 could be a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with PTC.

The lncRNA MALAT1 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate MCL-1 expression by sponging miR-363-3p in gallbladder cancer.

Project description:Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is an aggressive neoplasm, and the treatment options for advanced GBC are limited. Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as new gene regulators and prognostic markers in several cancers. In this study, we found that metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) expression was up-regulated in GBC tissues (P < 0.05). Luciferase reporter assays and RNA pull down assays showed that MALAT1 is a target of miR-363-3p. Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis indicated that MALAT1 regulated Myeloid cell leukaemia-1 (MCL-1) expression as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for miR-363-3p in GBC cells. Furthermore, MALAT1 silencing decreased GBC cell proliferation and the S phase cell population and induced apoptosis in vitro. In vivo, tumour volumes were significantly decreased in the MALAT1 silencing group compared with those in the control group. These data demonstrated that the MALAT1/miR-363-3p/MCL-1 regulatory pathway controls the progression of GBC. Inhibition of MALAT1 expression may be to a novel therapeutic strategy for gallbladder cancer.

The long noncoding RNA CASC2 functions as a competing endogenous RNA by sponging miR-18a in colorectal cancer.

Project description:Recent evidence highlights the crucial regulatory roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) in tumor biology. In colorectal cancer (CRC), the expression of several lncRNAs is dysregulated and play essential roles in CRC tumorigenesis. However, the potential biological roles and regulatory mechanisms of the novel human lncRNA, CASC2 (cancer susceptibility candidate 2), in tumor biology are poorly understood. In this study, CASC2 expression was significantly decreased in CRC tissues and CRC cell lines, and decreased expression was significantly more frequent in patients with advanced tumor-node-metastasis stage disease (TNM III and IV) (P?=?0.028). Further functional experiments indicate that CASC2 could directly upregulate PIAS3 expression by functioning as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for miR-18a. This interactions leads to the de-repression of genes downstream of STAT3 and consequentially inhibition of CRC cell proliferation and tumor growth in vitro and in vivo by extending the G0/G1-S phase transition. Taken together, these observations suggest CASC2 as a ceRNA plays an important role in CRC pathogenesis and may serve as a potential target for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

LncRNA MALAT1 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate ZEB2 expression by sponging miR-200s in clear cell kidney carcinoma.

Project description:Long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) play a critical role in the development of cancers. LncRNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1(MALAT1) has recently been identified to be involved in tumorigenesis of several cancers such as lung cancer, bladder cancer and so on. Here, we found that MALAT1 exist a higher fold change (Tumor/Normal) in clear cell kidney carcinoma (KIRC) from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Data Portal and a negative correlation with miR-200s family. We further demonstrated MALAT1 promote KIRC proliferation and metastasis through sponging miR-200s in vitro and in vivo. In addition, miR-200c can partly reverse the MALAT1's stimulation on proliferation and metastasis in KIRC. In summary we unveil a branch of the MALAT1/miR-200s/ZEB2 pathway that regulates the progression of KIRC. The inhibition of MALAT1 expression may be a promising strategy for KIRC therapy.

Long non-coding RNA MYOSLID functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate MCL-1 expression by sponging miR-29c-3p in gastric cancer.

Project description:ObjectiveLong non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has become an important regulator of many human malignancies. However, the biological role and clinical significance of most lncRNA in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear.MethodsWe investigate the biological function, mechanism of action and clinical expression of lncRNA MYOSLID in GC. First, we analysed the differential expression of lncRNA MYOSLID in GC tissues and non-cancerous tissues by analysing the sequencing data obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Subsequently, we verified that lncRNA MYOSLID regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of GC cells by acting as a ceRNA against miR-29c-3p. The nude mouse xenograft was used to further confirm the functional significance of lncRNA MYOSLID in vivo.ResultsWe found for the first time that the expression of lncRNA MYOSLID was significantly up-regulated in GC tissues, and the up-regulation of lncRNA MYOSLID in GC was correlated with tumour size, AJCC stage, depth of invasion and survival time. In addition, apoptosis and growth arrest can be induced in vitro after knockdown of lncRNA MYOSLID, which inhibits tumorigenesis in mouse xenografts in vivo. Further in-depth studies revealed that lncRNA MYOSLID acts as a ceRNA of miR-29c-3p, resulting in de-repression of its downstream target gene MCL-1.ConclusionThe lncRNA MYOSLID-miR-29c-3p-MCL-1 axis plays a key role in the development of GC. Our findings may provide potential new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of human GC.

Long Non-coding RNA SNHG12 Functions as a Competing Endogenous RNA to Regulate MDM4 Expression by Sponging miR-129-5p in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common histological subtype of kidney cancer, shows poor prognosis, and non-sensitivity to radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) has been revealed to play a carcinogenic role in various neoplasms, but the underlying mechanism in ccRCC is still unclear. To explore the potential role of SNHG12 in ccRCC, the data downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) Data Portal was used to compare the expression of SNHG12 in tumors and adjacent normal tissues. MRNA microarray and quantitative real-time PCR revealed that SNHG12 was overexpressed in the ccRCC tissues and cell lines. Functional inhibition of SNHG12 suppressed the viability and mobility of ccRCC cells. Mechanistically, dual luciferase assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay showed that miR-129-5p could bind to SNHG12 directly. There was a negative relationship between SNHG12 and miR-129-5p. What's more, we used bioinformatics-based prediction software to predict the target genes of miR-129-5p. Through data analysis and experimental verification, we found MDM4, a regulatory factor in p53 pathway, was involved in this ceRNA network. Our findings demonstrated that SNHG12 served as a sponge for miR-129-5p to regulate the expression of MDM4 and p53 pathway in the development of ccRCC.

LncRNA RP11-79H23.3 Functions as a Competing Endogenous RNA to Regulate PTEN Expression through Sponging hsa-miR-107 in the Development of Bladder Cancer.

Project description:Accumulating evidence indicates that the aberrant expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is involved in tumorigenesis and cancer development. However, the biological functions and underlying mechanisms of lncRNAs in bladder cancer (BC) remain largely unknown. Here, we analyzed the lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in BC using a microarray assay. We found that lncRNA RP11-79H23.3 and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) were significantly downregulated in BC tissues and cells. Meanwhile, RP11-79H23.3 expression was negatively correlated with clinical stage in BC. Functionally, we found that overexpression of RP11-79H23.3 could suppress cell proliferation, migration, and cell cycle progression, rearrange the cytoskeleton, and induce apoptosis in vitro. Moreover, upregulation of RP11-79H23.3 inhibited the angiogenesis, tumorigenesis, and lung metastasis in vivo, whereas RP11-79H23.3 knockdown exerted a contrary role. Mechanistically, we identified that RP11-79H23.3 could directly bind to miR-107 and abolish the suppressive effect on target gene PTEN, which leads to inactivation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Taken together, we first demonstrated that RP11-79H23.3 might suppress the pathogenesis and development of BC by acting as a sponge for miR-107 to increase PTEN expression. Our research revealed that RP11-79H23.3 could be a potential target for diagnosis and therapy of BC.

lncRNA MIAT functions as a competing endogenous RNA to upregulate DAPK2 by sponging miR-22-3p in diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Project description:We previously established a rat model of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and found that the expression of long non-coding RNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) was significantly upregulated. The present study was aimed to determine the pathologic role of MIAT in the development of DCM. MIAT knockdown was found to reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis and improve left ventricular function in diabetic rats. High glucose could increase MIAT expression and induce apoptosis in cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes. The results of luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay revealed that MIAT was targeted by miR-22-3p in an AGO2-dependent manner. In addition, the 3'-untranslated region of DAPK2 was fused to the luciferase coding region and transfected into HEK293 cells with miR-22-3p mimic, and the results showed that DAPK2 was a direct target of miR-22-3p. Our findings also indicated that MIAT overexpression could counteract the inhibitory effect of miR-22-3p on DAPK2. Moreover, MIAT knockdown was found to reduce DAPK2 expression and inhibit apoptosis in cardiomyocytes exposed to high glucose. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that MIAT may function as a competing endogenous RNA to upregulate DAPK2 expression by sponging miR-22-3p, which consequently leads to cardiomyocyte apoptosis involved in the pathogenesis of DCM.
