The long non-coding RNA HOXA11-AS activates ITGB3 expression to promote the migration and invasion of gastric cancer by sponging miR-124-3p

ABSTRACT:

Background

miR-124-3p can inhibit integrin β3 (ITGB3) expression to suppress the migration and invasion of gastric cancer (GC), and in the process lncRNA HOXA11-AS may act as a molecular sponge.

Methods

Luciferase reporter assay was conducted to verify the binding of miR-124-3p and HOXA11-AS. RT-PCR and western blot were performed to detect the expression of HOXA11-AS, miR-124-3p and ITGB3 in GC tissues and cells. Gene silence and overexpression experiments as well as cell migration and invasion assays on GC cell lines were performed to determine the regulation of molecular pathways, HOXA11-AS/miR-124-3p/ITGB3. Furthermore, the role of HOXA11-AS in GC was confirmed in mice models.

Results

We found HOXA11-AS is up-regulated in GC tissues and can bind with miR-124-3p. Through overexpression/knockdown experiments and function tests in vitro, we demonstrated HOXA11-AS can promote ITGB3 expression by sponging miR-124-3p, consequently enhance the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells. Meanwhile, we validated that HOXA11-AS promotes migration and invasion of GC cells via down-regulating miR-124-3p and up-regulating ITGB3 in vivo.

Conclusions

We demonstrated that lncRNA HOXA11-AS can increase ITGB3 expression to promote the migration and invasion of gastric cancer by sponging miR-124-3p. Our results suggested that HOXA11-AS may reasonably serve as a promising diagnostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target of GC.

LncRNA HOXA11-AS regulates calcium oxalate crystal-induced renal inflammation via miR-124-3p/MCP-1.

Project description:Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been suggested to play an important role in a variety of diseases over the past decade. In a previous study, we identified a novel lncRNA, termed HOXA11-AS, which was significantly up-regulated in calcium oxalate (CaOx) nephrolithiasis. However, the biological function of HOXA11-AS in CaOx nephrolithiasis remains poorly defined. Here, we demonstrated that HOXA11-AS was significantly up-regulated in CaOx nephrolithiasis both in vivo and in vitro. Gain-/loss-of-function studies revealed that HOXA11-AS inhibited proliferation, promoted apoptosis and aggravated cellular damage in HK-2 cells exposed to calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM). Further investigations showed that HOXA11-AS regulated monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) expression in HK-2 cell model of CaOx nephrolithiasis. In addition, online bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay results showed that miR-124-3p directly bound to HOXA11-AS and the 3'UTR of MCP-1. Furthermore, rescue experiment results revealed that HOXA11-AS functioned as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate MCP-1 expression through sponging miR-124-3p and that overexpression of miR-124-3p restored the inhibitory effect of proliferation, promotion effects of apoptosis and cell damage induced by HOXA11-AS overexpression. Taken together, HOXA11-AS mediated CaOx crystal-induced renal inflammation via the miR-124-3p/MCP-1 axis, and this outcome may provide a good potential therapeutic target for nephrolithiasis.

Long non-coding RNA EWSAT1 contributes to the proliferation and invasion of glioma by sponging miR-152-3p.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of ncRNA with a length ranging from 200-1,000 nucleotides. Previous studies have confirmed that the lncRNA Ewing sarcoma associated transcript 1 (EWSAT1) exerts regulatory roles in cancer development and progression. However, its clinical significance in glioma remains unknown. In the present study, RNA-sequencing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and The Cancer Genome Atlas was explored to investigate the association between EWSAT1 expression and prognosis in patients with glioma. Increased EWSAT1 was associated with the presence of necrosis on magnetic resonance imaging scans in patients with glioma. Furthermore, knockdown of EWSAT1 was indicated to suppress the proliferative and invasive abilities of glioblastoma cell lines using Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell assays. Additionally, microRNA (miR)-152-3p was identified as a potential target of EWSAT1. The present study demonstrated that EWSAT1 interacted directly with miR-152-3p, and rescue experiments confirmed that EWSAT1 participated in glioma development by suppressing miR-152-3p. These results indicated that EWSAT1 is involved in the occurrence and progression of glioma, and may serve as a novel target and potential prognostic biomarker of glioma treatment.

Project description:BackgroundGastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common malignant tumor and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. CircRNAs may provide new insights into the development of GC by acting as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. In this study, we aim to examine the biological role of hsa_circ_0001944 (circFIRRE) in tumor progression of GC.MethodsThe bioinformatic analysis, qPCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were fulfilled to detect the expression of hsa_circ_0001944, miR-498, and GSPT1 in gastric cancer. Gain or loss of function approaches were used to investigate the biological functions of hsa_circ_0001944. MTS, EDU, wound healing, and transwell assays were performed to study the proliferation, invasion, and migration of GC cells. These molecular mechanisms were detected by luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays.ResultsWe screened out hsa_circ_0001944, whose expression was significantly increased in gastric cancer tissues. Knockdown of hsa_circ_0001944 significantly suppressed the cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Mechanistic investigations showed that hsa_circ_0001944 can bind to and sponge miR-498. Moreover, hsa_circ_0001944 sponged miR-498 to increase GSPT1 expression, thereby promoted excessive proliferation and maintained the malignant phenotype of GC cells.ConclusionThe present study demonstrates the hsa_circ_0001944/miR-498/GSPT1 axis contributes to GC development. This may provide a target for GC therapy and potential prognostic biomarker.

Hypoxia-induced lncRNA PDIA3P1 promotes mesenchymal transition via sponging of miR-124-3p in glioma.

Project description:Hypoxia is a critical factor in the malignant progression of glioma, especially for the highly-invasive mesenchymal (MES) subtype. But the detailed mechanisms in hypoxia-induced glioma MES transition remain elusive. Pseudogenes, once considered to be non-functional relics of evolution, are emerging as a critical factor in human tumorigenesis and progression. Here, we investigated the clinical significance, biological function, and mechanisms of protein disulfide isomerase family A member 3 pseudogene 1 (PDIA3P1) in hypoxia-induced glioma MES transition. In this study, we found that PDIA3P1 expression was closely related to tumor degree, transcriptome subtype, and prognosis in glioma patients. Enrichment analysis found that high PDIA3P1 expression was associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition, extracellular matrix (ECM) disassembly, and angiogenesis. In vitro study revealed that overexpression of PDIA3P1 enhanced the migration and invasion capacity of glioma cells, while knockdown of PDIA3P1 induced the opposite effect. Further studies revealed that PDIA3P1 functions as a ceRNA, sponging miR-124-3p to modulate RELA expression and activate the downstream NF-κB pathway, thus promoting the MES transition of glioma cells. In addition, Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1 was confirmed to directly bind to the PDIA3P1 promotor region and activate its transcription. In conclusion, PDIA3P1 is a crucial link between hypoxia and glioma MES transition through the PDIA3P1-miR-124-3p-RELA axis, which may serve as a prognostic indicator and potential therapeutic target for glioma treatment.

Hsa_circ_0008434 regulates USP9X expression by sponging miR-6838-5p to promote gastric cancer growth, migration and invasion.

Project description:BackgroundThe role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer (GC) has recently attracted increasing interest. The following study investigates the role of a newly discovered hsa_circ_0008434, which has been confirmed to be highly expressed in GC tissues, in regulating GC biological behaviour.MethodsHigh-throughput RNA sequencing was used to identify differentially expressed genes between normal gastric tissues and GC tissues; actinomycin D and RNase R assays were used to determine the stability and loop structure of hsa_circ_0008434; and the miRanda database was used to predict the target genes of hsa_circ_0008434. The role of hsa_circ_0008434 in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion was examined using CCK-8, wound healing, Transwell and colony formation assays. The regulatory relationships among hsa_circ_0008434, microRNA-6838 (miR-6838), and ubiquitin-specific peptidase 9X (USP9X) were determined by dual-luciferase activity assays. The expression of hsa_circ_0008434 and miR-6838 was measured by qPCR; the expression of USP9X was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. The effects of hsa_circ_0008434 on in vivo tumour growth were assessed in xenograft models.ResultsWe found that hsa_circ_0008434 was one of the most upregulated circRNAs in GC tissue versus normal tissue. Further in vitro testing indicated that by acting as a miRNA sponge for miR-6838-5p, hsa_circ_0008434 promotes the expression of USP9X and further increases the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells. In addition, animal studies indicated that hsa_circ_0008434 could promote tumour growth in vivo.ConclusionsHsa_circ_0008434 may promote GC proliferation, invasion and migration by regulating the expression of miR-6838 and USP9X.

Long non-coding RNA-ZNF281 promotes cancer cell migration and invasion in gastric cancer via downregulation of microRNA-124.

Project description:It has previously been determined that long non-coding (lnc)RNA-zinc finger protein (ZNF)281 serves an oncogenic role in breast cancer; however, the role of lncRNA-ZNF281 in other cancer types is yet to be elucidated. The present study aimed to analyze the role of ZNF281 in gastric cancer by characterizing its activity in cancerous tissues and normal tissues using RT-qPCR. Overexpression experiments were also performed to investigate the interaction between ZNF281 and miR-124, and Transwell assays were conducted to analyze cell invasion and migration. The present study revealed that lncRNA-ZNF281 was upregulated, and that microRNA (miR)-124 was downregulated, in cancerous tissues compared with that in the paired adjacent healthy tissues of patients with gastric cancer. In addition, the expression levels of lncRNA-ZNF281 and miR-124 exhibited a significant inverse association. Furthermore, in vitro cell experiments determined that lncRNA-ZNF281 overexpression resulted in miR-124 inhibition, yet miR-124 overexpression did not influence lncRNA-ZNF281 expression. lncRNA-ZNF281 expression level was also associated with the clinical stage of the patient. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that lncRNA-ZNF281 may target the base pairs in the hairpin loop of the miR-124 precursor. Subsequent in vitro cell experiments indicated that lncRNA-ZNF281 overexpression resulted in promoting the migration and invasiveness of gastric cancer cells, while miR-124 over-expression led to its inhibition. In addition, miR-124 overexpression partially recovered the effects of lncRNA-ZNF281 overexpression. Therefore, lncRNA-ZNF281 may promote cancer cell migration and invasion in gastric cancer via downregulation of miR-124.

Long non-coding RNA ATB is associated with metastases and promotes cell invasion in colorectal cancer via sponging miR-141-3p.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve crucial roles in cancer development and progression. lncRNA-activated by transforming growth factor-β (lncRNA-ATB) mediates cell proliferation. However, the association between lncRNA-ATB and human colorectal cancer (CRC) is not completely understood. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA-ATB in CRC, as well as the underlying mechanism. 50 pairs of tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues from patients with primary CRC were collected. The expression of lncRNA-ATB and microRNA (miR)-141-3p in CRC tissues, adjacent normal tissues and cell lines was detected using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. CCK-8, colony formation, Transwell, western blot, dual luciferase reporter gene, RNA immunoprecipitation and immunohistochemistry staining assays were conducted to assess the biological function of lncRNA-ATB and miR-141-3p in CRC progression. lncRNA-ATB was upregulated in CRC tissues and cell lines compared with healthy tissues and cells, respectively. Moreover, high expression of lncRNA-ATB was significantly associated with advanced TNM stage and metastasis in CRC. In addition, the results indicated that lncRNA-ATB expression predicted the prognosis and overall survival of patients with CRC. Compared with small interfering RNA-negative control, lncRNA-ATB knockdown inhibited CRC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, whereas, compared with vector, lncRNA-ATB overexpression promoted CRC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Furthermore, the in vivo experiment suggested that lncRNA-ATB knockdown inhibited tumor growth. The results also indicated that lncRNA-ATB may contribute to CRC progression via binding to tumor suppressor microRNA-141-3p. Collectively, the present study suggested a crucial role of lncRNA-ATB in CRC tumorigenesis, suggesting that lncRNA-ATB may serve as an important marker for the diagnosis and development of CRC.

Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR acts as a competing endogenous RNA to promote malignant melanoma progression by sponging miR-152-3p.

Project description:HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) is associated with the growth and metastasis of many human tumors, but its biological roles in malignant melanoma remain unclear. In this study, we show that HOTAIR is overexpressed in melanoma tissues and cells, especially in metastatic melanoma. High HOTAIR levels correlate with poor prognosis in melanoma patients. We also determined that HOTAIR functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for miR-152-3p. miR-152-3p was decreased and acted as a tumor suppressor in melanoma, and c-MET was the functional target of miR-152-3p. Furthermore, HOTAIR promotes the growth and metastasis of melanoma cells by competitively binding miR-152-3p, which functionally liberates c-MET mRNA and results in the activation of the downstream PI3k/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. We determined that HOTAIR acts as a ceRNA to promote malignant melanoma progression by sponging miR-152-3p. This finding elucidates a new mechanism for HOTAIR in melanoma development and provides a potential therapeutic target for melanoma patients.

Regulation of MRP4 Expression by circHIPK3 via Sponging miR-124-3p/miR-4524-5p in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Project description:Multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (MRP4), a member of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding cassette transporter family, pumps various molecules out of the cell and is involved in cell communication and drug distribution. Several studies have reported the role of miRNAs in downregulating the expression of MRP4. However, regulation of MRP4 by circular RNA (circRNA) is yet to be elucidated. In this study, MRP4 was significantly upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues compared to the adjacent noncancerous tissues. Computational prediction, luciferase reporter assay and miRNA transfection were used to investigate the interaction between miRNAs and MRP4. miR-124-3p and miR-4524-5p reduced the expression of MRP4 at the protein but not mRNA level. Circular RNA in vivo precipitation and luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that circHIPK3, as a competitive endogenous RNA, binds with miR-124-3p and miR-4524-5p. Further, knockdown of circHIPK3 resulted in downregulation of MRP4 protein, whereas cotransfection of circHIPK3-siRNA and miR-124-3p or miR-4524-5p inhibitors restored its expression. In conclusion, we report that miR-4524-5p downregulates the expression of MRP4 and circHIPK3 regulates MRP4 expression by sponging miR-124-3p and miR-4524-5p for the first time. Our results may provide novel insights into the prevention of MRP4-related proliferation and multiple drug resistance in HCC.

Long non-coding RNA HOTTIP promotes CCL3 expression and induces cartilage degradation by sponging miR-455-3p

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). However, knowledge of the biological roles of lncRNAs is limited in OA. We aimed to explore the biological function and molecular mechanism of HOTTIP in chondrogenesis and cartilage degradation. We used the human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) model of chondrogenesis, in parallel with, tissue biopsies from normal and OA cartilage to detect HOTTIP, CCL3, and miR-455-3p expression in vitro. Biological interactions between HOTTIP and miR-455-3p were determined by RNA silencing and overexpression in vitro. We evaluated the effect of HOTTIP on chondrogenesis and degeneration, and its regulation of miR-455-3p via competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA). Our in vitro ceRNA findings were further confirmed within animal models in vivo. Mechanisms of ceRNAs were determined by bioinformatic analysis, a luciferase reporter system, RNA pull-down, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. We found reduced miR-455-3p expression and significantly upregulated lncRNA HOTTIP and CCL3 expression in OA cartilage tissues and chondrocytes. The expression of HOTTIP and CCL3 was increased in chondrocytes treated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in vitro. Knockdown of HOTTIP promoted cartilage-specific gene expression and suppressed CCL3. Conversely, HOTTIP overexpression reduced cartilage-specific genes and increased CCL3. Notably, HOTTIP negatively regulated miR-455-3p and increased CCL3 levels in human primary chondrocytes. Mechanistic investigations indicated that HOTTIP functioned as ceRNA for miR-455-3p enhanced CCL3 expression. Taken together, the ceRNA regulatory network of HOTTIP/miR-455-3p/CCL3 plays a critical role in OA pathogenesis and suggests HOTTIP is a potential target in OA therapy.
