MicroRNA-155-5p Contributes to 5-Fluorouracil Resistance Through Down-Regulating TP53INP1 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: The anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance is a major obstacle to reducing the effectiveness of cancer treatment, and its detailed mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Here, in 5-FU-resistant human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) HSC3 cells (HSC3/5-FU), the levels of 21 miRNA candidates were detected using RT-PCR and miR-155-5p level increased strikingly in HSC3/5-FU cells compared to HSC3 cells. Compared with HSC3 cells, the CCK-8 assay showed that the HSC3/5-FU cells transfected with miR-155-5p inhibitors decreased 5-FU IC50. Ectopic expression of miR-155-5p in HSC3 and HSC4 cells increased 5-FU IC50 (CCK-8 assay), migration (wound-healing and transwell assays) and invasion (transwell assay) abilities. Seven miR-155-5p target candidates were discovered by miRNA prediction algorithms (miRDB, Targetscan, and miRWalk), and the RT-PCR results showed that in HSC3/5-FU cells TP53INP1 was of the lowest mRNA expression level compared with HSC3 cells. The RT-PCR and Western blotting assays showed that ectopic expression of miR-155-5p in HSC3 and HSC4 cells decreased TP53INP1 expression level. Furthermore, the luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays determined the interference effect of miR-155-5p on TP53INP1 expression. The enhancement of cell viability (CCK-8 assay), migration (wound-healing and transwell assays) and invasion (transwell assay) by miR-155-5p after 5-FU treatment was reversed by TP53INP1 overexpression. After treatment with 5-FU, HSC3-miR-155-5p tumor-bearing nude mice presented growing tumors, while HSC3-TP53INP1 group possessed shrinking tumors. In conclusion, these results lead to the proposal that miR-155-5p enhances 5-FU resistance by decreasing TP53INP1 expression in OSCC.

Project description:Long non?coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC00473 plays a carcinogenic role in a variety of different tumor types. Nevertheless, the mechanisms through which LINC00473 regulates the radiosensitivity of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells remains elusive. In the present study, reverse transcription?quantitative PCR was used to quantify the expression of LINC00473, microRNA (miRNA/miR)?497?5p and cell division cycle 25A (CDC25A) in ESCC tissues. The association between LINC00473 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with ESCC was also assessed. Furthermore, Cell Counting kit?8 and colony formation assays were carried out to monitor the proliferation of ESCC cells exposed to X?ray radiation. A dual?luciferase reporter assay was also conducted to analyze the interaction between LINC00473 and miR?497?5p, as well as the interaction between CDC25A and miR?497?5p. The findings of the present study demonstrated that in ESCC tissues and cells, the expression levels of LINC00473 and CDC25A were significantly upregulated, while the expression of miR?497?5p was downregulated. The high expression level of LINC00473 was associated with a higher T stage, lymph node metastasis stage and a lower tumor differentiation grade in patients with ESCC. Following irradiation, transfection with miR?497?5p mimics reduced the promoting effect of LINC00473 overexpression on ESCC cell proliferation, and partially impeded the resistance of ESCC cells to X?ray radiation induced by LINC00473 overexpression. Moreover, transfection with miR?497?5p inhibitors partially alleviated the inhibitory effects of LINC00473 knockdown on cellular proliferation, and partly reversed the sensitivity of cells to X?ray irradiation induced by LINC00473 knockdown. Furthermore, it was confirmed that miR?497?5p was able to bind LINC00473 and the 3'?untranslated region of CDC25A. On the whole, the findings of the present study demonstrate that LINC00473 reduces the radiosensitivity of ESCC cells by modulating the miR?497?5p/CDC25A axis.
