LAMTOR5-AS1 regulates chemotherapy-induced oxidative stress by controlling the expression level and transcriptional activity of NRF2 in osteosarcoma cells.

ABSTRACT: Long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play roles in regulating cellular functions. High-throughput sequencing analysis identified a new lncRNA, termed LAMTOR5-AS1, the expression of which was much higher in the chemosensitive osteosarcoma (OS) cell line G-292 than in the chemoresistant cell line SJSA-1. Further investigations revealed that LAMTOR5-AS1 significantly inhibits the proliferation and multidrug resistance of OS cells. In vitro assays demonstrated that LAMTOR5-AS1 mediates the interaction between nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NFE2L2, NRF2) and kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), which regulate the oxidative stress. Further mechanistic studies revealed that LAMTOR5-AS1 inhibited the ubiquitination degradation pathway of NRF2, resulting in a higher level of NRF2 but a loss of NRF2 transcriptional activity. High level of NRF2 in return upregulated the downstream gene heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1). Moreover, NRF2 controls its own activity by promoting LAMTOR5-AS1 expression, whereas the feedback regulation is weakened in drug-resistant cells due to high antioxidant activity. Overall, we propose that LAMTOR5-AS1 globally regulates chemotherapy-induced cellular oxidative stress by controlling the expression and activity of NRF2.

Project description:NF-E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) transcription factor has a fundamental role in cell homeostasis maintenance as one of the master regulators of oxidative and electrophilic stress responses. Previous studies have shown that a regulatory connection exists between NRF2 and autophagy during reactive oxygen species-generated oxidative stress. The aim of the present study was to investigate how autophagy is turned off during prolonged oxidative stress, to avoid overeating and destruction of essential cellular components. AMPK is a key cellular energy sensor highly conserved in eukaryotic organisms, and it has an essential role in autophagy activation at various stress events. Here the role of human AMPK and its Caenorhabditis elegans counterpart AAK-2 was explored upon oxidative stress. We investigated the regulatory connection between NRF2 and AMPK during oxidative stress induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) in HEK293T cells and C. elegans. Putative conserved NRF2/protein skinhead-1 binding sites were found in AMPK/aak-2 genes by in silico analysis and were later confirmed experimentally by using EMSA. After addition of TBHP, NRF2 and AMPK showed a quick activation; AMPK was later down-regulated, however, while NRF2 level remained high. Autophagosome formation and Unc-51-like autophagy activating kinase 1 phosphorylation were initially stimulated, but they returned to basal values after 4 h of TBHP treatment. The silencing of NRF2 resulted in a constant activation of AMPK leading to hyperactivation of autophagy during oxidative stress. We observed the same effects in C. elegans demonstrating the conservation of this self-defense mechanism to save cells from hyperactivated autophagy upon prolonged oxidative stress. We conclude that NRF2 negatively regulates autophagy through delayed down-regulation of the expression of AMPK upon prolonged oxidative stress. This regulatory connection between NRF2 and AMPK may have an important role in understanding how autophagy is regulated in chronic human morbidities characterized by oxidative stress, such as neurodegenerative diseases, certain cancer types, and in metabolic diseases.-Kosztelnik, M., Kurucz, A., Papp, D., Jones, E., Sigmond, T., Barna, J., Traka, M.
