Long Noncoding RNA SNHG1 Regulates LMNB2 Expression by Sponging miR-326 and Promotes Cancer Growth in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Objective:The purpose of the study is to explore the potential competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and investigate the molecular mechanism of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. Methods:By analyzing the data of HCC in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we included differentially expressed lncRNA and microRNA (miRNA) profiles and constructed ceRNA networks related to the prognosis of HCC patients. qRT-PCR, Western blotting, 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), transwell assay, and the nude mouse model were employed to test the effects of SNHG1 and LMNB2 on tumor proliferation and growth in vitro and in vivo. Results:In the study, we identified 115 messenger RNAs (mRNAs), 12 lncRNAs, and 37 miRNAs by intersecting differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in TCGA and StarBase databases. Then, SNHG1-miR-326-LMNB2 pathway came into notice after further survival analysis and hub gene screening. Our results showed that SNHG1 expression was upregulated significantly in HCC tissues and cell lines. Downregulation of both LMNB2, the target of miR-326 in HCC, and SNHG1 inhibited tumor proliferation and growth in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, SNHG1 could regulate LMNB2 expression through binding to miR-326 in HCC cell lines. Conclusion:SNHG1 is a promising prognostic factor in HCC, and the SNHG1-miR-326-LMNB2 axis may be a potential therapeutic target for HCC.

Long non-coding RNA SNHG1 regulates NOB1 expression by sponging miR-326 and promotes tumorigenesis in osteosarcoma.

Project description:The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) has been demonstrated to participate in the deterioration of many types of cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms of SNHG1-mediating functions in osteosarcoma (OS) have yet to be elucidated. In the present study, our results showed that SNHG1 was upregulated in OS tissues and cell lines, and high SNHG1 expression predicts poor overall survival of OS patients. Knockdown of SNHG1 inhibited cell growth and metastasis of OS in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, our data demonstrated that there was reciprocal repression between SNHG1 and miR-326 which act as a tumor suppressor in OS cells, and exhibiting a strong negative relationship between SNHG1 and miR-326 expression in OS tissues. Additionally, we identified that SNHG1 increased human nin one binding protein (NOB1), an oncogene, through sponging miR-326 as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA), finally prompting cell growth, migration and invasion in OS. Collectively, these findings not only uncovered that the SNHG1/miR-326/NOB1 signaling axis has a key role in OS progression but also suggested the potential application of SNHG1 and miR-326 as biomarkers in the OS diagnosis and treatment.

Long noncoding RNA SNHG1 promotes TERT expression by sponging miR-18b-5p in breast cancer.

Project description:BackgroundLong noncoding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) plays a positive role in the progression of human malignant tumors. However, the molecular mechanism of SNHG1 remains elusive in breast cancer.ResultsLncRNA SNHG1 was upregulated and had a positive relationship with poor prognosis according to bioinformatics analysis in pan-cancer including breast cancer. Silencing SNHG1 inhibited tumorigenesis in breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, SNHG1 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to promote TERT expression by sponging miR-18b-5p in breast cancer. miR-18b-5p acted as a tumor repressor in breast cancer. Moreover, the combination of SNHG1 knockdown and TERT inhibitor administration showed a synergistic inhibitory effect on breast cancer growth in vivo. Finally, E2F1 as a transcription factor, binding to SNHG1 promoter and enhanced SNHG1 transcription in breast cancer.ConclusionsOur results provide a comprehensive understanding of the oncogenic mechanism of lncRNA SNHG1 in breast cancer. Importantly, we identified a novel E2F1-SNHG1-miR-18b-5p-TERT axis, which may be a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer. Our results also provided a potential treatment for breast cancer when knockdown SNHG1 and TERT inhibitor administration simultaneously.

Long noncoding RNA PP7080 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma development by sponging mir-601 and targeting SIRT1.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy in adults, ranking the second leading cause of cancer-related death. To date, the underlying mechanisms of HCC pathogenesis are still unclear. Recently, more and more studies have reported that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the occurrence and development of HCC. This study aims to investigate the expressions, clinical significance and roles of lncRNA PP7080 in HCC. We analyzed the transcriptome data of HCC cancer tissue (n = 369) and normal tissue (n = 50) in the TCGA database. We used the qRT-PCR method to detect the expression levels of lncRNA PP7080 in 40 pairs of HCC and adjacent tissues. The survival curve was drawn by KM-plotter. The changes of migration, invasion and proliferation of HCC cells were detected by transwall, CCK8 and colony forming assays, respectively. For the interaction between genes, we performed the luciferase activity assay to analyze. The expression of lncRNA PP7080 and miR-601 in cancer tissues of 40 cancer patients was analyzed by Pearson correlation. LncRNA PP7080 was highly expressed in HCC and predicted a poor prognosis. Luciferase activity assay identified lncRNA PP7080 as a molecular sponge for miR-601 in HCC cells. LncRNA PP7080 promoted HCC cells proliferation, migration and invasion by miR-601/SIRT1 signal axis. These results revealed lncRNA PP7080 effect in regulating miR-601/SIRT1 signal axis in the progression of HCC, indicating the important role of miR-601 in HCC pathogenesis.

Circular RNA circHIPK3 promotes breast cancer progression via sponging MiR-326.

Project description:Background: This study investigated the potential molecular mechanism of circular RNA HIPK3 (circHIPK3) in breast cancer (BCa). Methods: BCa cells were transfected with miR-326 mimic, miR-326 inhibitor, circHIPK3, sicircHIPK3. The expressions of circHIPK3 and miR-326 in BCa tissues and BCa cell lines were determined by RT-qPCR. Cell viability, colony formation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of the cells were detected by CCK-8 and colony formation, wound-healing, transwell and flow cytometric assays, respectively. The relationship between circHIPK3 and miR-326 was analyzed and confirmed by circInteractome, dual-luciferase reporter, RT-qPCR, Pearson's correlation assays. Western blot and RT-qPCR were performed to determine the expressions of apoptosis-related molecules (Bcl-2, Bax, and cleaved Caspase-3) and EMT-related molecules (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin) in the BCa cells and tumor tissues. The tumor growth in mice was examined in a xenograft tumor model in which Ki-67 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results: In BCa, the expression of circHIPK3 was up-regulated and that of miR-326 was down-regulated. CircHIPK3 knockdown inhibited the cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. MiR-326 was the direct target of circHIPK3, and was inversely correlated with circHIPK3 expression. CircHIPK3 overexpression promoted proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis resistance, and tumor growth and up-regulated Ki-67 expression, at the same time, the expressions of Bcl-2, N-cadherin, Vimentin were up-regulated, and those of Bax, cleaved Caspase-3 and E-cadherin were inhibited. These above expressions were partially reversed by miR-326 overexpression. Conclusion: CircHIPK3 sponges miR-326 to promote BCa growth and metastasis. The current findings provide a novel therapeutic target for treating BCa.

The long noncoding RNA SNHG1 regulates colorectal cancer cell growth through interactions with EZH2 and miR-154-5p.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Mounting evidence demonstrates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have critical roles during the initiation and progression of cancers. In this study, we report that the small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) is involved in colorectal cancer progression. METHODS:We analyzed RNA sequencing data to explore abnormally expressed lncRNAs in colorectal cancer. The effects of SNHG1 on colorectal cancer were investigated through in vitro and in vivo assays (i.e., CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry assay, EdU assay, xenograft model, immunohistochemistry, and western blot). The mechanism of SNHG1 action was explored through bioinformatics, RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization, luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. RESULTS:Our analysis revealed that SNHG1 was upregulated in human colorectal cancer tissues, and high SNHG1 expression was associated with reduced patient survival. We also found that high SNHG1 expression was partly induced by SP1. Moreover, SNHG1 knockdown significantly repressed colorectal cancer cells growth both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic investigations demonstrated that SNHG1 could directly interact with Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) and modulate the histone methylation of promoter of Kruppel like factor 2 (KLF2) and Cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B) in the nucleus. In the cytoplasm, SNHG1 acted as a sponge for miR-154-5p, reducing its ability to repress Cyclin D2 (CCND2) expression. CONCLUSIONS:Taken together, the results of our studies illuminate how SNHG1 formed a regulatory network to confer an oncogenic function in colorectal cancer and suggest that SNHG1 may serve as a potential target for colorectal cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Long non-coding RNA XIST regulates PTEN expression by sponging miR-181a and promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression.

Project description:BackgroundTumor metastasis often occurs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and influences the patient's prognosis, and microRNAs are reported to play key roles in tumor metastasis. This study was conducted to explore the effect of microRNAs on HCC metastasis.MethodsThe levels of miR-181a in HCC tissues, adjacent tissues, metastatic HCC tissues, and non-metastatic HCC tissues at different stages were determined by qRT-PCR. Effect of miR-181a on the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of HCC cells was estimated by cell counting kits-8 (CCK-8), wound-healing, and Transwell assays. Software analysis and luciferase assays were used to explore the target gene of miR-181a.ResultsMiR-181a was up-regulated in HCC tissues and its expression level in metastatic HCC tissues was much higher than in non-metastasis samples. PTEN was found to be a target gene of miR-181a. MiR-181a had multiple binding sites with the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) XIST. The regulation of miR-181a on PTEN was mediated by lncRNA XIST. The proliferation and invasion of cells with siXIST were significantly enhanced compared with those of control cells, while knockdown of miR-181a abolished the enhancing effects.ConclusionsMiR-181a can promote HCC metastasis by targeting PTEN, which is regulated by lncRNA XIST.

Long noncoding RNA PCAT1, a novel serum-based biomarker, enhances cell growth by sponging miR-326 in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the development and progression of human cancers. The lncRNA prostate cancer-associated transcript 1 (PCAT1) has been reported to be involved in multiple human cancers, including oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the detailed biological functions, underlying mechanisms and clinical relevance of PCAT1 in ESCC remain unclear. Here, we confirmed that PCAT1 was highly expressed in ESCC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of PCAT1 inhibited the growth of ESCC cells, whereas overexpression of PCAT1 showed the opposite effect both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, knockdown of PCAT1 arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase, reduced the expression of cyclin B1 and CDC2, and caused cells to be more sensitive to paclitaxel. Furthermore, PCAT1 could bind to miR-326, a tumour suppressor in diverse human cancers. Rescue experiments revealed that enforced expression of miR-326 attenuated the promotive effect of PCAT1 on ESCC cell growth. In addition, we discovered that PCAT1 was present in ESCC cell-derived exosomes, was higher in the serum of ESCC patients than those of healthy volunteer donors, and promoted cell growth through exosomes. Thus, our data indicate that PCAT1 promotes ESCC cell proliferation by sponging miR-326 and may serve as a non-invasive biomarker for ESCC.

Long noncoding RNA MST1P2 promotes cervical cancer progression by sponging with microRNA miR-133b.

Project description:Long noncoding RNA (lnc RNA) is aberrant expressed in many kinds of tumors and may be concerned with the occurrence and progression of tumors. Lnc RNA MST1P2 is increased in cervical cancer (CC), but its mechanism in CC has not been clarified. In this study, RT-qPCR was employed to analyze Lnc MST1P2 and miR-133b expression. CCK8 and cell apoptosis assay detect the proliferation optical density (OD) value and apoptosis rate. Cell metastasis was evaluated by Wound-healing assay and Transwell assay. Dual-Luciferase assay analyzed the relationship between Lnc MST1P2 and miR-133b. In vivo experiment was performed by establishing xenograft animal model. We found that Lnc MST1P2 is obviously overexpression in CC tissues and cells. Si-Lnc MST1P2 obviously repressed cell growth, cell migration, and cell invasion in Hela and SIHA cells. Moreover, Si-Lnc MST1P2 suppressed CC tumorigenesis in vivo. Dual-Luciferase assay and RT-qPCR assay further proved that Lnc MST1P2 has a negative regulation to miR-133b. miR-133b up-regulation inhibited cell viability and metastasis of Hela and SIHA cells. miR-133b inhibition notably decreased the anti-cancer effect of si-Lnc MST1P2. LncRNA MST1P2 serves as a Cervical Cancer oncogene by sponging with miR-133b.

Long noncoding RNA FAM225A promotes the malignant progression of gastric cancer through the miR-326/PADI2 axis.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is a global health problem and further studies of its molecular mechanisms are needed to identify effective therapeutic targets. Although some long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to be involved in the progression of GC, the molecular mechanisms of many GC-related lncRNAs remain unclear. In this study, a series of in vivo and in vitro assays were performed to study the relationship between FAM225A and GC, which showed that FAM225A levels were correlated with poor prognosis in GC. Higher FAM225A expression tended to be correlated with a more profound lymphatic metastasis rate, larger tumor size, and more advanced tumor stage. FAM225A also promoted gastric cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Further mechanistic investigation showed that FAM225A acted as a miR-326 sponge to upregulate its direct target PADI2 in GC. Overall, our findings indicated that FAM225A promoted GC development and progression via a competitive endogenous RNA network of FAM225A/miR-326/PADI2 in GC, providing insight into possible therapeutic targets and prognosis of GC.

Long noncoding RNA AC092171.4 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression by sponging microRNA-1271 and upregulating GRB2.

Project description:In this study, we investigated the mechanistic role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) AC092171.4 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). AC092171.4 was significantly upregulated in HCC tumor tissues compared to normal liver tissues. HCC patients with high AC092171.4 expression showed poorer overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) than those with low AC092171.4 expression. In vitro cell proliferation, migration and invasiveness were all higher in AC092171.4-overexpressing HCC cells, but lower in AC092171.4-silenced HCC cells, than in controls. Balb/c nude mice injected with AC092171.4-silenced HCC cells had smaller xenograft tumors, which showed less growth and pulmonary metastasis than control tumors. Bioinformatics analyses and dual luciferase reporter assays confirmed that AC092171.4 binds directly to miR-1271, which targets the 3'UTR of GRB2 mRNA. AC092171.4 expression correlates negatively with miR1271 expression and correlates positively with GRB2 mRNA expression in HCC tissues from patients. HCC cells co-transfected with miR-1271 mimics and sh-AC092171.4 show less proliferation, migration, invasiveness, GRB2 protein, and epithelial to mesencyhmal transition (EMT) than sh-AC092171.4-transfected HCC cells. These findings demonstrate that AC092171.4 promotes growth and progression of HCC by sponging miR-1271 and upregulating GRB2. This makes AC092171.4 a potential prognostic indicator and therapeutic target for HCC patients.
