Transcription factor KLF15 inhibits the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells via regulating the TFAP2A-AS1/NISCH axis

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recently, overwhelming evidence supports that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in the occurrence and progression of tumors. However, the role and mechanism of lncRNA TFAP2A-AS1 in human gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. Thus, the biological role and regulatory mechanisms of TFAP2A-AS1 in GC were explored.

Methods

Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was applied to detect gene expression. Western blot was used to measure protein expression. Cell proliferation and migration were determined by functional assays. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays were performed to determine the subcellular distribution of TFAP2A-AS1 in GC. Mechanism investigations were conducted to explore the downstream genes of TFAP2A-AS1 and the upstream transcription factor of TFAP2A-AS1 in GC cells.

Results

TFAP2A-AS1 inhibits the proliferation and migration of GC cells. In the downstream regulation mechanism, miR-3657 was verified as the downstream gene of TFAP2A-AS1 and NISCH as the target of miR-3657. NISCH also suppresses cell proliferation and migration in GC. In the upstream regulation mechanism, transcription factor KLF15 positively mediates TFAP2A-AS1 to suppress GC cell proliferation and migration.

Conclusion

KLF15-mediated TFAP2A-AS1 hampers cell proliferation and migration in GC via miR-3657/NISCH axis.

LncRNA DSCAM-AS1 Promotes Colon Cancer Cells Proliferation and Migration via Regulating the miR-204/SOX4 Axis.

Project description:Introduction:Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) DSCAM-AS1 was reported to be aberrantly expressed and play pivotal roles in various human cancers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression and roles of DSCAM-AS1 in colon cancer (CC). Methods:Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of DSCAM-AS1, miR-204 and the mRNA level of SOX4. Cell proliferation and cell cycle were analyzed by MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Transwell assay was used for migration capacity detection. Luciferase activity assay was conducted to verify the direct binding of DSCAM-AS1 and miR-204 or miR-204 and SOX4. The protein expression of SOX4 was determined by Western blot. Kaplan-Meier curves were calculated and the Log rank test was performed for the survival data analysis. Results:DSCAM-AS1 was significantly upregulated in CC and high expression of DSCAM-AS1 was associated with poor prognosis in patients with colon cancer. Knockdown of DSCAM-AS1 significantly suppressed CC cells proliferation and migration. In addition, DSCAM-AS acted as a molecular sponge for miR-204 and SOX4 was identified as a direct target of miR-204 in CC. Moreover, the rescue assay revealed that miR-204 inhibition partly abolished the effects of DSCAM-AS1 knockdown on CC cells proliferation, migration and SOX4 expression. Discussion:The present study demonstrated that DSCAM-AS1 acted as an oncogenic lncRNA in CC progression by regulating miR-204/SOX4 axis and DSCAM-AS1 may serve as a novel therapeutic target in the treatment of colon cancer.

Demethylzeylasteral inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion through FBXW7/c-Myc axis in gastric cancer.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most familiar malignancy in the digestive system. Demethylzeylasteral (Dem), a natural functional monomer extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, shows anti-tumor effects in a variety of cancers, including GC, however, with the underlying mechanism poorly understood. In our study, we show that Dem inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells, which are mediated by down-regulating c-Myc protein levels. Mechanistically, Dem reduces the stability of c-Myc by up-regulating FBXW7, an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Moreover, in xenograft tumor model experiment, Dem also inhibits GC, which depends on suppressing c-Myc expression. Finally, Dem enhances GC cell chemosensitivity to the combination treatment of 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) and doxorubicin (DOX) in vitro. Together, Dem exerts anti-neoplastic activities through destabilizing and suppressing c-Myc, establishing a theory foundation for using it in future treatment of GC.

lncRNA LOXL1-AS1 promotes liver cancer cell proliferation and migration by regulating the miR-377-3p/NFIB axis.

Project description:Liver cancer is becoming one of the most lethal malignancies due to its high incidence and mortality. Accumulating studies have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critical regulators of the tumorigenesis and development of various types of cancer, including liver cancer. LncRNA LOXL1-antisense RNA 1 (LOXL1-AS1) has been identified as an oncogene in some types of human cancer; however, its role in liver cancer remains obscure. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was used to measure LOXL1-AS1 expression in liver cancer tissues and cells. Western blot, MTT, colony formation, glucose uptake and wound healing assays were used to explore the biological function of LOXL1-AS1 in liver cancer cells. Bioinformatics analysis and RNA pull-down and luciferase reporter assays were used to explore the molecular mechanism of LOXL1-AS1 in liver cancer cells. Statistical analysis was used to compare the experimental results of different groups. In the present study, LOXL1-AS1 expression was significantly upregulated in liver cancer tissues and cells compared with in normal liver tissues and cells, respectively. High LOXL1-AS1 expression was associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with liver cancer. Furthermore, LOXL1-AS1-knockdown suppressed glucose metabolism, proliferation, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of liver cancer cells. Subsequently, LOXL1-AS1 acted as a microRNA (miR)-377-3p sponge, and nuclear factor I B (NFIB) was confirmed as the downstream target of miR-377-3p in liver cancer cells. Additionally, rescue assays suggested that NFIB overexpression countervailed the inhibitory influence of LOXL1-AS1 silencing on liver cancer cellular processes. The present study demonstrated that LOXL1-AS1 promoted glucose metabolism, proliferation, migration and EMT of liver cancer cells by sponging miR-377-3p and modulating NFIB, which may provide a novel insight for the treatment of liver cancer.

ELFN1-AS1 accelerates cell proliferation, invasion and migration via regulating miR-497-3p/CLDN4 axis in ovarian cancer.

Project description:Previous studies indicated that long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) were involved in the progression of multiple cancers including ovarian cancer (OV). LncRNA ELFN1-AS1 functioned as an oncogene in many cancers, but its potential roles in OV were largely unclear. In the current study, we were aimed at clarifying the biological roles and molecular mechanisms of ELFN1-AS1 in OV. We found that ELFN1-AS1 was significantly upregulated in OV tissues and cell lines. High expression of ELFN1-AS1 was associated with poor prognosis in OV patients. Knockdown of ELFN1-AS1 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of SKOV3 cell lines and repressed tumor growth in xenografted ovarian models. Mechanistically, ELFN1-AS1 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of SKOV3 cells by sponging miR-497-3p. Additionally, CLDN4 was verified to be the target of miR-497-3p. Rescue experiments revealed that miR-497-3p inhibition could partly reverse the inhibitory effect of ELFN1-AS1 silencing on proliferation, migration and invasion of SKOV3 cell lines. Taken together, our findings indicated that ELFN1-AS1 acted as an oncogene in ovarian cancer through regulating the expression of CLDN4 by directly interacting with miR-497-3p. The results suggested that ELFN1-AS1 might act as a promising therapeutic target for OV.

AKR1B10 inhibits the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer via regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is a common malignancy around the world with a poor prognosis. Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10) is indispensable to cancer development and progression, which has served as a diagnostic biomarker for tumors. In our study, we demonstrated that the expression of AKR1B10 in GC tissues was significantly lower compared with normal gastric tissues. Subgroup analysis showed that, according to the clinic-pathological factors, the effect of the AKR1B10 expression level on the prognosis of GC patients was significantly different. Moreover, reduced expression of AKR1B10 promoted the ability of GC cells in proliferation and migration. Furthermore, increased AKR1B10 levels resulted in the opposite trend in vitro. Moreover, AKR1B10 was correlated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a significant way. In vivo experiment, knockdown of AKR1B10 promoted the growth of tumor, increased Vimentin, and E-cadherin significantly. In summary, AKR1B10 is considered as a tumor suppressor in GC and is a promising therapeutic target.

Cir-ITCH inhibits gastric cancer migration, invasion and proliferation by regulating the Wnt/?-catenin pathway.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are differentially expressed in various tumours, but the expression and regulatory mechanisms of circular RNA ITCH (cir-ITCH) in gastric cancer remain unclear. For this reason, in the present study, we assessed the expression of cir-ITCH and the associated regulatory mechanism of cir-ITCH in gastric cancer. Through RTq-PCR assays, we observed that cir-ITCH expression was attenuated in gastric cancer cell lines and tissues, with cir-ITCH expression in gastric cancer tissues with lymph node metastasis being considerably lower than that observed in gastric cancer tissues without lymph node metastasis. In addition, we demonstrated that cir-ITCH or linear ITCH may be a useful marker for gastric cancer prognosis by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. We also showed that cir-ITCH overexpression could increase linear ITCH expression through miR-17 via RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and luciferase reporter assays. Moreover, in vivo and in vitro experimental results showed that cir-ITCH can act as a tumour suppressor to prevent gastric cancer tumourgenesis by sponging miR-17. The Wnt/?-catenin pathway plays a crucial role during the carcinogenesis of cancers, and we observed that cir-ITCH could negatively regulate Wnt/?-catenin signalling, which could be restored by miR-17. In summary, cir-ITCH was shown to prevent gastric cancer tumourgenesis through the Wnt/?-catenin signalling pathway by sequestering miR-17.

Circ_0032821 Facilitates Gastric Cancer Cell Proliferation, Migration, Invasion and Glycolysis by Regulating MiR-1236-3p/HMGB1 Axis.

Project description:Background:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an essential role in the pathogenesis of malignant tumors, including gastric cancer (GC). However, the effect of circ_0032821 on GC remains largely unknown. Methods:QRT-PCR assay was employed to examine the levels of circ_0032821, CEP128 mRNA and miR-1236-3p. RNase R digestion assay was utilized to verify the feature of circ_0032821. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and transwell assay were adopted to evaluate cell proliferation and metastasis. The level of glycolysis was evaluated through detecting ECAR, OCR, lactate production, glucose uptake and ATP synthesis. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RIP assay were conducted to analyze the relationship between miR-1236-3p and circ_0032821 or HMGB1. Western blot assay was adopted for high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) level. Murine xenograft model assay was utilized for the effect of circ_0032821 in vivo. Results:High level of circ_0032821 was observed in GC tissues and cells. Silencing of circ_0032821 markedly repressed cell proliferation, metastasis and glycolysis in GC cells in vitro and blocked tumorigenesis of GC in vivo. For mechanism analysis, circ_0032821 was identified as the sponge of miR-1236-3p and HMGB1 was the target gene of miR-1236-3p. Moreover, miR-1236-3p suppression restored the influences of circ_0032821 deficiency on GC cell proliferation, metastasis and glycolysis. Overexpression of miR-1236-3p relieved the malignant behaviors of GC cells by targeting HMGB1. Conclusion:Circ_0032821 accelerated GC development through elevating HMGB1 expression via sponging miR-1236-3p.

LncRNA OIP5-AS1 Knockdown Targets miR-183-5p/GLUL Axis and Inhibits Cell Proliferation, Migration and Metastasis in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is often associated with the infection of Epstein-Barr virus in nasopharynx and is mainly happened in South China and Southeast Asia. Recently, noncoding RNAs have been reported to regulate NPC carcinogenesis. LncRNA OIP5-AS1 participates in tumorigenesis and progression; however, the inherent mechanism of OIP5-AS1-mediated progression of NPC is unclear. In the current study, we aimed to explore the role of OIP5-AS1 in NPC progression. We measured the cell viability, apoptosis, migration, and invasion in NPC cells after OIP5-AS1 modulation. Moreover, we determined whether OIP5-AS1 exerts its oncogenic functions via sponging miR-183-5p in NPC. Furthermore, we determined whether glutamate ammonia ligase (GLUL) was a downstream target of miR-183-5p. We found that OIP5-AS1 downregulation inhibited the viability, migration and invasion of NPC via targeting miR-183-5p. We also identified that GLUL might be a potential downstream target of miR-183-5p in NPC cells. Mechanistically, OIP5-AS1 promotes cell motility via regulating miR-183-5p and GLUL in NPC cells. We concluded that OIP5-AS1 performed its biological functions via targeting miR-183-5p and GLUL in NPC cells.

Long Noncoding RNASBF2-AS1 Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression via Regulating miR-545/EMS1 Axis.

Project description:Objective:Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) SBF2-AS1 was reportedly to function as an oncogene in several types of cancers, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, nonsmall cell lung cancer, glioma, and colorectal cancer. However, the biological roles and regulatory mechanisms of SBF2-AS1 in gastric cancer (GC) are unknown. Methods:The expression of SBF2-AS1 and miR-545 were examined in GC tissues and cell lines via real-time quantitative PCR. The relationship of SBF2-AS1 with miR-545 was verified via dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA immunoprecipitation. The influences of SBF2-AS1 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were determined using cell counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), wound healing, and transwell invasion assays, respectively. Results:LncRNA SBF2-AS1 expression was upregulated in GC tissues, especially in advanced clinical stage cases. Moreover, increased SBF2-AS1 indicated a poor survival rate. Functionally, the downregulation of SBF2-AS1 by siRNA in GC cells suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion. In terms of mechanism, SBF2-AS1 can directly bind to miR-545 and regulate its expression. Moreover, SBF2-AS1 knockdown significantly decreased the expression of EMS1, which was the direct target of miR-545. Importantly, inhibition of miR-545 or overexpression of EMS1 partially reversed SBF2-AS1-depletion-caused suppression on proliferation, migration, and invasion. Conclusion:These findings elucidated a crucial role of SBF2-AS1 as a miR-545 sponge in GC cells, suggesting that SBF2-AS1 might be a potential target for GC.

LOXL1-AS1 Drives The Progression Of Gastric Cancer Via Regulating miR-142-5p/PIK3CA Axis.

Project description:Background:Gastric cancer (GC) is a deadly disease, and its incidence is especially high in East Asia including China. Recently, some long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) have been identified as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. This study aimed to determine the function and mechanism of lncRNA LOXL1-AS1 on the progression of GC. Methods:RT-PCR was done to measure the expression levels of LOXL1-AS1 and miR-142-5p in GC tissues. The association between pathological indexes and LOXL1-AS1 expression was also analyzed. Human GC cell lines AGS and BGC823 were used as cell models. CCK-8 and colony formation assays were conducted to assess the effect of LOXL1-AS1 on the proliferation of GC cell lines. Transwell assay was conducted to determine the influence of LOXL1-AS1 on cell migration and invasion. Furthermore, luciferase reporter assay was carried out to confirm the relationship of miR-142-5p with LOXL1-AS1. Additionally, Western blot was done to detect the regulatory function of LOXL1-AS1 on PIK3CA, a target of miR-142-5p. In vivo experiment was also performed to validate the roles and mechanism of LOXL1-AS1 on the growth and metastasis of GC cells. Results:LOXL1-AS1 expression in GC samples was significantly increased, which was correlated with unfavorable pathological indexes. Highly expressed LOXL1-AS1 was closely linked to shorter overall survival time and post-progression survival time of the patients. LOXL1-AS1 markedly modulated the malignant phenotypes of GC cells. Additionally, overexpressed LOXL1-AS1 notably reduced the expression of miR-142-5p, but enhanced the expression level of PIK3CA. In vivo experiments further validated that knockdown of LOXL1-AS1 inhibited the growth and metastasis of GC cells via regulating miR-142-5p and PIK3CA. Conclusion:LOXL1-AS1 was a sponge of tumor suppressor miR-142-5p in GC, enhanced the expression of PIK3CA indirectly and functioned as an oncogenic lncRNA.
