Project description:BackgroundStudies have discussed long noncoding RNA DDX11-AS1 (DDX11-AS1)-mediated downstream mechanism in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The goal of this study was to investigate the regulatory mechanism of DDX11-AS1-mediated microRNA-34a-3p (miR-34a-3p)/tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 5 (TRAF5) axis on HCC cells.MethodsDDX11-AS1, miR-34a-3p and TRAF5 expression levels in HCC were detected. The correlation of DDX11-AS1, miR-34a-3p and TRAF5 in HCC patients was analyzed by Pearson test. HCC cells were transfected with corresponding plasmid/oligonucleotide, and cell proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis and tumor formation ability were detected. Bioinformatics software, dual luciferase report experiment and RNA-pull down experiment analysis were applied to verify the targeting relationship between DDX11-AS1, miR-34a-3p and TRAF5.ResultsElevated DDX11-AS1 and TRAF5 and reduced miR-34a-3p exhibited in HCC. Silenced DDX11-AS1 or up-regulated miR-34a-3p inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, promoted apoptosis of HCC cells and repressed the tumor growth in nude mice. In addition, DDX11-AS1 bound to miR-34a-3p to target TRAF5. Silencing TRAF5 or elevating miR-34a-3p expression mitigated up-regulated DDX11-AS1-mediated promotion of tumor growth.ConclusionSilenced DDX11-AS1 or up-regulated miR-34a-3p inhibits HCC cell growth via elevation of TRAF5, which could be of great benefit to find early diagnostic markers for HCC patients.

Project description:Introduction:LncRNA FEZF1-AS1 has been reported to be an oncogene in many types of cancer, while its role in glioblastoma (GBM) is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the potential involvement of FEZF1-AS1 in GBM. Methods:FEZF1-AS1 expression in paired GBM and non-tumor tissues from GBM patients was determined by RT-qPCR. A 2-year follow-up was performed to analyze the prognostic value of FEZF1-AS1 for GBM. Cell transfections were performed to analyze the interactions between FEZF1-AS1, miR-34a and Notch-1. Transwell assay was performed to analyze the role of FEZF1-AS1, miR-34a and Notch-1 in regulating GBM cell invasion and migration. Results:In this study, analysis of TCGA dataset revealed the upregulation of FEZF1-AS1 in GBM, and the overexpression of FEZF1-AS1 in GBM was further confirmed using GBM tissues from GBM patients included in this study. High levels of FEZF1-AS1 were correlated with poor survival. FEZF1-AS1 was predicted to form base pairing with miR-34a. However, overexpression of FEZF1-AS1 and miR-34a failed to affect the expression of each other. However, upregulation of Notch-1, a target of miR-34a, was observed after FEZF1-AS1 in GBM cells. Moreover, increased invasion and migration rates of GBM cells were observed after FEZF1-AS1 and Notch-1 overexpression. MiR-34a played an opposite role and reduced the effects of FEZF1-AS1 and Notch-1 overexpression. Conclusion:FEZF1-AS1 may sponge miR-34a to upregulate Notch-1 in GBM, thereby promoting cancer cell invasion and migration.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate cancer progression and drug resistance. However, the role of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in regulating colon cancer (CC) progression is still largely unknown. Hence, this study investigated the role of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in regulating colon cancer (CC) progression and found that lncRNA FGD5-AS1 regulated miR-497-5p/PD-L1 axis to promote cancer progression in CC cells in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, we found that lncRNA FGD5-AS1 and PD-L1 tended to be high-expressed, while miR-497-5p was low-expressed in CC tissues and cell lines compared to the normal adjacent tissues and cells. Next, we found that lncRNA FGD5-AS1 positively regulated PD-L1 in CC cells by sponging miR-497-5p. Finally, our gain- and loss-of-function experiments evidenced that the lncRNA FGD5-AS1/miR-497-5p/PD-L1 axis regulates CC progression. Functionally, the data suggested that lncRNA FGD5-AS1 positively regulated while miR-497-5p negatively modulated malignant phenotypes, including cell proliferation, viability, invasion, migration, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and tumorigenesis in CC cells. Interestingly, the inhibiting effects of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 ablation on CC development were abrogated by both silencing miR-497-5p and upregulating PD-L1. This study found that lncRNA FGD5-AS1 sponged miR-497-5p to upregulate PD-L1, resulting in CC progression, and provided novel agents for CC diagnosis and prognosis.

Project description:Increasing research has demonstrated that lncRNAs participate in the development of multiple cancer types. However, the role of TTN‑AS1 in endometrial cancer (EC) remains unknown. The present study aimed to explore the function of titin‑antisense RNA1 (TTN‑AS1) in EC progression and the underlying mechanisms. qRT‑PCR was performed to assess the TTN‑AS1 expression patterns in EC tissues and cell lines. Loss of function experiments were carried out to estimate the effects of TTN‑AS1 on EC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. To reveal the underlying mechanisms, informatics tools were used to predict the targets. Rescue experiments were performed to investigate the TTN‑AS1‑regulated miR‑376a‑3p/pumilio homolog 2 (PUM2) axis involved. The results of the present study revealed that TTN‑AS1 was highly expressed in both EC tissues and cell lines, and TTN‑AS1 knockdown inhibited EC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. With respect to the mechanisms, miR‑376a‑3p was revealed to be targeted by TTN‑AS1, and reversed the effects on EC development induced by TTN‑AS1. In addition, PUM2 was positively regulated by TTN‑AS1, and miR‑376a‑3p mediated the regulation between them. Furtherly, in vivo experiments confirmed the results. Collectively, TTN‑AS1 enhanced EC cell proliferation and metastasis by targeting the miR‑376a‑3p/PUM2 axis, which may shed light on EC diagnosis and treatment.

Project description:LncRNA MNX1-AS1 is known to be involved in progression of several tumor types. However, few studies have investigated the molecular mechanism of MNX1-AS1 in lung adenocarcinoma (LAC). To explore the function of MNX1-AS1 in the pathogenesis of LAC, qRT-PCR was performed to show MNX1-AS1 expression. MNX1-AS1 expression in LAC cells was suppressed by siRNA to detect the biologic behavior. The relationships among miR-34a, MNX1-AS1 and SIRT1 were confirmed by pull-down and dual-luciferase reporter assay. Whether MNX1-AS1 was involved in LAC by targeting miR-34a/SIRT1 axis was verified. MNX1-AS1 was up-regulated in LAC, and over-expression of MNX1-AS1 was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis. In A549 and H1299 cells, cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were suppressed, the cell cycle was regulated, as well as apoptosis was increased after silencing MNX1-AS1. Mechanistically, MNX1-AS1 served as a ceRNA of miR-34a to down-regulate miR-34a expression. SIRT1 is targeted by miR-34a and its expression is regulated by MNX1-AS1 and miR-34a. Up-regulation of SIRT1 salvaged the effect of silencing MNX1-AS1 on A549 and H1299 cells, to some extent. These results showed that MNX1-AS1 contributes to LAC progression by targeting the miR-34a/SIRT1 axis.

Project description:Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most fatal cancers, whose incidence and death rates are still rising. Here, we report the identification of long non-coding RNAs (IncRNAs) that associated with HCC progression and metabolism based on the systematically analysis of large scale RNA-seq data from HCC patients. We identified seven lncRNAs with high confidence which were highly related with prognostic of HCC. Of note, three of them had quite different expression patterns between the control samples and the patients, and their critical roles in cancer progression were validated. We proposed that DDX11-AS1 play important role during HCC oncogenesis and may serve as potential therapy target for HCC.

Project description:Background:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) FOXD2 adjacent opposite strand RNA 1 (FOXD2-AS1) are reported could function as tumor promoter in several cancers. However, its role in hemangioma was not reported to yet. Methods:Expression level of FOXD2-AS1 in hemangioma tissues and cells was explored using quantitative reverse-time PCR. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, wound-healing assay, and transwell invasion assay were conducted to measure the roles of FOXD2-AS1. In addition, the levels of markers for proliferation and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition were investigated. Connection of FOXD2-AS1 and mcroRNA-324-3p (miR-324-3p) or miR-324-3p and p53 and DNA damage regulated 1 (PDRG1) was analyzed with bioinformatic analysis method and dual-luciferase activity reporter assay. Results:Here, we found that FOXD2-AS1 was highly expressed in proliferating-phase hemangioma tissues compared with the involuting-phase hemangioma tissues. Functionally, FOXD2-AS1 knockdown suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Conversely, overexpression of FOXD2-AS1 promoted tumor growth in vitro. Mechanistically, FOXD2-AS1 inversely regulated miR-324-3p abundance in hemangioma cells. We also found FOXD2-AS1 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by directly sponging miR-324-3p to regulate PDRG1 expression. In addition, the knockdown of PDRG1 reversed the stimulation effects of FOXD2-AS1 overexpression on HA cells. Conclusion:To conclude, our study sheds novel light on the biological roles of FOXD2-AS1 in hemangioma, which may help the development of targeted therapy method for cancer.

Project description:Abnormal accumulation of lipids has been highlighted in the progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Emerging evidence suggests long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the regulation of lipid metabolism. In this study, we found lncRNA COL18A1-AS1 was downregulated in ccRCC and that higher COL18A1-AS1 expression indicated better prognosis. Decreased COL18A1-AS1 expression was caused by DNA methylation at the CpG islands within its promoter. Restoring the epigenetically silenced COL18A1-AS1 repressed tumor progression, promoted lipid browning and consumption in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, COL18A1-AS1 could competitively bind miR-1286 to increase the expression of Krüppel-like factor 12 (KLF12). Downregulation of COL18A1-AS1 in ccRCC resulted in the low expression of KLF12. COL18A1-AS1/KLF12 positively regulated uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1)-mediated lipid browning, which promotes tumor cell "slimming" and inhibits tumor progression. When tumor cell "slimming" occurred, lipid droplets turned into tiny pieces, and lipids were consumed without producing ATP energy. Taken together, our findings on COL18A1-AS1-miR-1286/KLF12 axis revealed a potential mechanism of abnormal accumulation of lipids in ccRCC and could be a promising therapeutic target for ccRCC patients.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of long-chain noncoding growth stasis specific protein 6 antisense RNA1 (lncRNA DLX6-AS1) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tissues and cells, and its regulatory effect on malignant phenotypes of NPC cells.MethodsThe expressions of DLX6-AS1, miR-199a-5p, and HIF-1α mRNA in NPC issues and cells were detected by qRT-PCR. The proliferation, metastasis, and invasion of cells were monitored via MTT and transwell assay. The interactions between DLX6-AS1 and miR-199a-5p, miR-199a-5p and HIF-1α were verified by luciferase activity assay. Western blot was performed to determine the regulatory effect of DLX6-AS1 and miR-199a-5p on HIF-1α protein.ResultsThe expression of lncRNA DLX6-AS1 was up-regulated in NPC tissues and cells. The proliferation, migration, and invasion of NPC were enhanced by overexpressed DLX6-AS1 but inhibited by DLX6-AS1 knockdown. In addition, DLX6-AS1 can be used as a kind of ceRNA to regulate miR-199a-5p and, thereby modulating the expression of HIF-1α.ConclusionWe found that DLX6-AS1 was a cancer-promoting lncRNA to facilitate the progression of NPC, and its underlying mechanism was suppressing miR-199a-5p expression. This study can provide novel clues for the treatment of NPC.

Project description:Introduction:MCM3AP-AS1 has been characterized as an oncogenic lncRNA in several types of cancer, while its role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the role of MCM3AP-AS1 in NPC. Patients and Methods:Paired NPC tissues and non-tumor tissues were collected from 55 NPC patients. Expression of MCM3AP-AS1 and miR-34a in paired tissues was analyzed by RT-qPCR. Interactions between MCM3AP-AS1 and miR-34a were analyzed by overexpression experiments. The roles of MCM3AP-AS1 and miR-34a in regulating NPC cell proliferation and apoptosis were explored by cell proliferation assay and cell apoptosis assay, respectively. Results:Our bioinformatics analysis showed that MCM3AP-AS1 may be targeted by miR-34a, which is a well-studied tumor suppressor miRNA. In this study, we showed that miR-34a was downregulated and MCM3AP-AS1 was upregulated in NPC. An inverse correlation between the expression of MCM3AP-AS1 and miR-34a was found across NPC tissue samples. High expression level of MCM3AP-AS1 and low levels of miR-34a in NPC tissues predicted the poor survival. In NPC cells, overexpression of MCM3AP-AS1 did not affect the expression of miR34a, while overexpression of miR-34a led to downregulated MCM3AP-AS1. Cell proliferation and apoptosis assay showed that overexpression of miR-34a reduced the enhancing effects of overexpressing MCM3AP-AS1 on cell proliferation and the inhibitory effects on cell apoptosis. Conclusion:MiR-34a inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in human NPC by targeting MCM3AP-AS1.
