LncRNA NR038975, A Serum-Based Biomarker, Promotes Gastric Tumorigenesis by Interacting With NF90/NF45 Complex.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the deadliest cancers, and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to be the important regulators during the occurrence and development of GC. The present study identified a novel and functional lncRNA in GC, named NR038975, which was confirmed to be markedly upregulated in the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) dataset and our independent cohort of GC tissues. We firstly characterized the full-length sequence and subcellular location of NR038975 in GC cells. Our data demonstrated that upregulated NR038975 expression was significantly related to lymph node metastasis and TNM stage. In addition, knockdown of NR038975 inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and clonogenicity and vice versa. Mechanistically, RNA pull-down and mass spectrometry assays identified the NR038975-binding proteins and NF90/NF45 complex, and the binding was also confirmed by RNA immunoprecipitation and confocal experiments. We further demonstrated that genetic deficiency of NR038975 abrogated the interaction between NF45 and NF90. Moreover, NF90 increased the stability of NR038975. Thus, NR038975-NF90/NF45 will be an important combinational target of GC. Finally, we detected NR038975 in serum exosomes and serum of GC patients. Our results indicated that NR038975 was a biomarker for gastric tumorigenesis. The current study demonstrated that NR038975 is a novel lncRNA that is clinically and functionally engaged in GC progression and might be a novel diagnostic marker and potential therapeutic target.

Long non-coding RNA DANCR stabilizes HIF-1α and promotes metastasis by interacting with NF90/NF45 complex in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in the development and progression of cancers. However, the clinical significances of lncRNAs and their functions and mechanisms in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain largely unclear. Methods: Quantitative RT-PCR was used to determine DANCR expression and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to evaluate its prognostic value. RNA sequencing followed by bioinformatic analysis was performed to determine the potential function of DANCR. In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to investigate its biological effects. DANCR-interacting proteins were identified by RNA pull-down assay followed by mass spectrometry and western blotting, and then confirmed by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Results: Our previous microarray analysis identified a metastasis-associated lncRNA DANCR. Here, we found that DANCR was upregulated in NPC, especially in those with lymph lode metastasis, and its upregulation could predict poor survival. We then constructed a prognostic predictive model. RNA sequencing followed by bioinformatic analysis revealed that DANCR was responsible for NPC metastasis and hypoxia phenotype. Functional studies showed that DANCR promoted NPC cell invasion and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Further investigation suggested that DANCR could increase HIF-1α mRNA stability through interacting with the NF90/NF45 complex. Additionally, overexpression of HIF-1α in DANCR knockdown cells restored its suppressive effects on NPC cell migration and invasion. Conclusions: Taken together, our results suggest that DANCR acts as a prognostic biomarker and increases HIF-1α mRNA stability by interacting with NF90/NF45, leading to metastasis and disease progression of NPC.

LncRNA LINC00649 promotes the growth and metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer by maintaining the stability of HIF-1α through the NF90/NF45 complex.

Project description:There is no clear treatment guideline or individualized treatment plan for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The aim of this study was to investigate more effective targets for TNBC-targeted therapy. MDA-MB-231 and BT549 cell lines were used to explore the function of LINC00649 on the proliferation, invasion, and migration of TNBC cells. A mice subcutaneous tumor model and a pulmonary metastasis model was established to identify the role of LINC00649 on the growth and metastasis of TNBC in vivo. LINC00649 was found to be a key molecule involved in the occurrence and development of TNBC by screening of public databases and detection of TNBC clinical samples. LINC00649 increased hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) mRNA stability and protein expression by interacting with the nuclear factor 90 (NF90)/NF45 complex. In vitro, interference with LINC00649 inhibits MDA-MB-231 and BT549 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and the addition of HIF-1α revised this effect. In vivo experiments showed that LINC00649 promoted the growth and metastasis of TNBC. We demonstrated that LINC00649 interacts with the NF90/NF45 complex to increase the mRNA stability of HIF-1α and up-regulate HIF-1α expression, thereby inducing the proliferation, invasion, and migration of TNBC cells as well as tumor growth and metastasis.

The NF90/NF45 complex participates in DNA break repair via nonhomologous end joining.

Project description:Nuclear factor 90 (NF90), an RNA-binding protein implicated in the regulation of gene expression, exists as a heterodimeric complex with NF45. We previously reported that depletion of the NF90/NF45 complex results in a multinucleated phenotype. Time-lapse microscopy revealed that binucleated cells arise by incomplete abscission of progeny cells followed by fusion. Multinucleate cells arose through aberrant division of binucleated cells and displayed abnormal metaphase plates and anaphase chromatin bridges suggestive of DNA repair defects. NF90 and NF45 are known to interact with the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), which is involved in telomere maintenance and DNA repair by nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). We hypothesized that NF90 modulates the activity of DNA-PK. In an in vitro NHEJ assay system, DNA end joining was reduced by NF90/NF45 immunodepletion or by RNA digestion to an extent similar to that for catalytic subunit DNA-PKcs immunodepletion. In vivo, NF90/NF45-depleted cells displayed increased γ-histone 2A.X foci, indicative of an accumulation of double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs), and increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation consistent with decreased DSB repair. Further, NF90/NF45 knockdown reduced end-joining activity in vivo. These results identify the NF90/NF45 complex as a regulator of DNA damage repair mediated by DNA-PK and suggest that structured RNA may modulate this process.

The NF90-NF45 complex functions as a negative regulator in the microRNA processing pathway.

Project description:The positive regulatory machinery in the microRNA (miRNA) processing pathway is relatively well characterized, but negative regulation of the pathway is largely unknown. Here we show that a complex of nuclear factor 90 (NF90) and NF45 proteins functions as a negative regulator in miRNA biogenesis. Primary miRNA (pri-miRNA) processing into precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) was inhibited by overexpression of the NF90 and NF45 proteins, and considerable amounts of pri-miRNAs accumulated in cells coexpressing NF90 and NF45. Treatment of cells overexpressing NF90 and NF45 with an RNA polymerase II inhibitor, alpha-amanitin, did not reduce the amounts of pri-miRNAs, suggesting that the accumulation of pri-miRNAs is not due to transcriptional activation. In addition, the NF90 and NF45 complex was not found to interact with the Microprocessor complex, which is a processing factor of pri-miRNAs, but was found to bind endogenous pri-miRNAs. NF90-NF45 exhibited higher binding activity for pri-let-7a than pri-miR-21. Of note, depletion of NF90 caused a reduction of pri-let-7a and an increase of mature let-7a miRNA, which has a potent antiproliferative activity, and caused growth suppression of transformed cells. These findings suggest that the association of the NF90-NF45 complex with pri-miRNAs impairs access of the Microprocessor complex to the pri-miRNAs, resulting in a reduction of mature miRNA production.

A novel metastasis–associated lncRNA destabilizes p21 through cooperative interactions with the NF90/NF45 complex

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) have emerged as important regulators of gene expression at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. While altered expressions of lncRNAs have been observed in breast cancer (BCa) development, their roles in BCa progression and metastasis are still poorly understood. To identify novel BCa-associated lncRNA candidates, we have employed a high-density SNP array based approach to uncover lncRNA genes at intergenic region that are aberrantly expressed in BCa. Here we report the role of a novel lncRNA, LincIN, in breast cancer progression and metastasis. High levels of LincIN expression are frequently observed in tumors compared to adjacent normal tissues, and are strongly associated with aggressive breast cancers. Importantly, analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data further suggested that high LincIN expression was associated with poor overall survival in patients with breast cancer (P<0.05). Our gain-and-loss experiments demonstrate that LincIN play a role in tumor cell migration and invasion and knockdown of LincIN diminishes tumor cell invasion in vitro and lung metastasis in a mouse xenograft model. We also identified a LincIN-binding protein complex, NF90/NF45, through which LincIN destabilizes tumor suppressor p21 mRNA post-transcriptionally and thereby represses its protein expression. In summary, our findings delineated an oncogenic role of LincIN in breast tumor progression-metastasis, and mechanistically uncovered its cooperative actions with NF90/NF45 in regulating tumor suppressor gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.

NF45 and NF90/NF110 coordinately regulate ESC pluripotency and differentiation.

Project description:While years of investigation have elucidated many aspects of embryonic stem cell (ESC) regulation, the contributions of post-transcriptional and translational mechanisms to the pluripotency network remain largely unexplored. In particular, little is known in ESCs about the function of RNA binding proteins (RBPs), the protein agents of post-transcriptional regulation. We performed an unbiased RNAi screen of RBPs in an ESC differentiation assay and identified two related genes, NF45 (Ilf2) and NF90/NF110 (Ilf3), whose knockdown promoted differentiation to an epiblast-like state. Characterization of NF45 KO, NF90 + NF110 KO, and NF110 KO ESCs showed that loss of NF45 or NF90 + NF110 impaired ESC proliferation and led to dysregulated differentiation down embryonic lineages. Additionally, we found that NF45 and NF90/NF110 physically interact and influence the expression of each other at different levels of regulation. Globally across the transcriptome, NF45 KO ESCs and NF90 + NF110 KO ESCs show similar expression changes. Moreover, NF90 + NF110 RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP)-seq in ESCs suggested that NF90/NF110 directly regulate proliferation, differentiation, and RNA-processing genes. Our data support a model in which NF45, NF90, and NF110 operate in feedback loops that enable them, through both overlapping and independent targets, to help balance the push and pull of pluripotency and differentiation cues.

Knockdown of ILF2/ILF3 (NF45/NF90) in the gastric cancer cell line SGC7901

Project description:Our data showed that lncRNA ELF3-AS1 could bind on the exon1 of ELF3-201 to form a double-stranded RNA molecule. This double-stranded RNA could interact with ILF2/ILF3 complex. To explore the biofunction of the interaction between ELF3-AS1 and ILF2/ILF3 complex, loss-of-function studies regarding ILF2 and ILF3 were performed in SGC7901 cell line. RNA sequencing studies showed that knockdown of ILF3 significantly decreased ELF3-AS1, while knockdown of ILF2 significantly increased ELF3-AS1 and NF90 expression. Our data revealed that ILF2/ILF3 complex interacted with ELF3-AS1/ELF3 double-stranded RNA and regulated their transcripts stability.

NF45 and NF90 regulate HS4-dependent interleukin-13 transcription in T cells.

Project description:Expression of the cytokine interleukin-13 (IL13) is critical for Th2 immune responses and Th2-mediated allergic diseases. Activation of human IL13 expression involves chromatin remodeling and formation of multiple DNase I-hypersensitive sites throughout the locus. Among these, HS4 is detected in the distal IL13 promoter in both naive and polarized CD4(+) T cells. We show herein that HS4 acts as a position-independent, orientation-dependent positive regulator of IL13 proximal promoter activity in transiently transfected, activated human CD4(+) Jurkat T cells and primary murine Th2 cells. The 3'-half of HS4 (HS4-3') was responsible for IL13 up-regulation and bound nuclear factor (NF) 90 and NF45, as demonstrated by DNA affinity chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and gel shift analysis. Notably, the CTGTT NF45/NF90-binding motif within HS4-3' was critical for HS4-dependent up-regulation of IL13 expression. Moreover, transfection of HS4-IL13 reporter vectors into primary, in vitro differentiated Th2 cells from wild-type, NF45(+/-), or NF90(+/-) mice showed that HS4 activity was exquisitely dependent on the levels of endogenous NF45 (and to a lesser degree NF90), because HS4-dependent IL13 expression was virtually abrogated in NF45(+/-) cells and reduced in NF90(+/-) cells. Collectively, our results identify NF45 and NF90 as novel regulators of HS4-dependent human IL13 transcription in response to T cell activation.

NF45/NF90-mediated rDNA transcription provides a novel target for immunosuppressant development.

Project description:Herein, we demonstrate that NFAT, a key regulator of the immune response, translocates from cytoplasm to nucleolus and interacts with NF45/NF90 complex to collaboratively promote rDNA transcription via triggering the directly binding of NF45/NF90 to the ARRE2-like sequences in rDNA promoter upon T-cell activation in vitro. The elevated pre-rRNA level of T cells is also observed in both mouse heart or skin transplantation models and in kidney transplanted patients. Importantly, T-cell activation can be significantly suppressed by inhibiting NF45/NF90-dependent rDNA transcription. Amazingly, CX5461, a rDNA transcription-specific inhibitor, outperformed FK506, the most commonly used immunosuppressant, both in terms of potency and off-target activity (i.e., toxicity), as demonstrated by a series of skin and heart allograft models. Collectively, this reveals NF45/NF90-mediated rDNA transcription as a novel signaling pathway essential for T-cell activation and as a new target for the development of safe and effective immunosuppressants.

CFIm25-regulated lncRNA acv3UTR promotes gastric tumorigenesis via miR-590-5p/YAP1 axis.

Project description:Accumulating evidences indicate that 3'UTR of the coding gene can act as crucial regulators in gastric cancer (GC). However, the detailed mechanisms and responsive targets are not well established. Here, we found that acvr1b gene 3'UTR (acv3UTR) was elevated in GC tissue, the expression of which was significantly correlated with advanced pTNM-stage and poor outcome in clinical patients. Forced expression of acv3UTR promoted GC cells growth in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, our results suggested that acv3UTR functioned as an oncogenic competing endogenous RNA via sponging miR-590-5p and enhancing YAP1 level. Tumor suppressor miR-590-5p was a molecular module in acv3UTR regulatory axis, the forced expression of which led to impairing of oncogenic potential of acv3UTR. The positive correlation of acv3UTR and YAP1 expression, and the negative correlation of acv3UTR and miR-590-5p expression, were verified in GC patients. Moreover, CFIm25 was identified as a key regulator contributing to acv3UTR aberrant expression in GC binding to UGUA-264 motif. Overall, our finding defines a mechanism for understanding the potential role of acv3UTR transcription in GC tumorigenesis, and indicates a correlation between 3'UTR trans-regulatory effect and GC development.
