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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Project description:BackgroundAccumulation evidence indicates the vital role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumorigenesis and the progression of malignant tumors, including pancreatic cancer (PC). However, the role and the molecular mechanism of long non-coding RNA 00976 is unclear in pancreatic cancer.MethodsIn situ hybridization (ISH) and qRT-PCR was performed to investigate the association between linc00976 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with PC. Subsequently, linc00976 over-expression vector and shRNAs were transfected into PC cells to up-regulate or down-regulate linc00976 expression. Loss- and gain-of function assays were performed to investigate the role of linc00976 in proliferation and metastasis in vitro and vivo. ITRAQ, bioinformatic analysis and rescue assay were used to illustrate the ceRNA mechanism network of linc00976/miR-137/OTUD7B and its downstream EGFR/MAPK signaling pathway.Resultslinc00976 expression was overexpressed in PC tissues and cell lines and was positively associated with poorer survival in patients with PC. Function studies revealed that linc00976 knockdown significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vivo and in vitro, whereas its overexpression reversed these effects. Based on Itraq results and online database prediction, Ovarian tumor proteases OTUD7B was found as a downstream gene of linc00976, which deubiquitinated EGFR mediates MAPK signaling activation. Furthermore, Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase assays and rescue experiments revealed that linc00976/miR137/OTUD7B established the ceRNA network modulating PC cell proliferation and tumor growth.ConclusionThe present study demonstrates that linc00976 enhances the proliferation and invasion ability of PC cells by upregulating OTUD7B expression, which was a target of miR-137. Ultimately, OTUD7B mediates EGFR and MAPK signaling pathway, suggesting that linc00976/miR-137/OTUD7B/EGFR axis may act as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for PC.

Project description:Although the functions of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) called FOXD2 adjacent opposite strand RNA 1 (FOXD2-AS1) have been well studied in multiple human cancer types, its expression status and detailed roles in cervical cancer remain unknown and merit investigation. This study was aimed at assessing FOXD2-AS1 expression in cervical cancer and at determining its effects on the aggressive behavior of cervical cancer in vitro and in vivo. Expression of FOXD2-AS1 in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines was determined via reverse-transcription quantitative PCR. The effects of FOXD2-AS1 on cervical cancer cells were examined by a 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, flow-cytometric analysis, migration and invasion assays, and an in vivo tumorigenicity assay. FOXD2-AS1 was found to be significantly upregulated in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines. High FOXD2-AS1 expression was notably linked with the Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, lymph node metastasis, and depth of cervical invasion in patients with cervical cancer. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed significantly shorter overall survival of patients when the tumor expression of FOXD2-AS1 was higher in comparison with those in patients with lower FOXD2-AS1 expression. In vitro functional assays revealed that downregulation of FOXD2-AS1 led to suppression of proliferation, migration, and invasiveness as well as to the induction of apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. In addition, FOXD2-AS1 silencing hindered tumor growth in vivo. Mechanism investigation revealed that FOXD2-AS1 functioned as a molecular sponge of microRNA-760 (miR-760). Furthermore, hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) was validated as a direct target gene of miR-760 in cervical cancer cells. Moreover, an miR-760 knockdown reversed the effects of FOXD2-AS1 silencing on cervical cancer cells. FOXD2-AS1 possesses significant oncogenic activity in cervical cancer progression; this activity is mediated by sponging of miR-760 with consequent upregulation of HDGF. The FOXD2-AS1-miR-760-HDGF axis might harbor promising targets for novel treatment strategies of cervical cancer.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important biological factors that contribute to the initiation and progression of different types of cancer, including gastric, bladder and colorectal cancer. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 3 (SNHG3) has been implicated in prostate cancer (PCa) progression. However, the expression pattern and function of SNHG3 in PCa remain unclear, impeding the development of novel treatment strategies for this cancer. The present study aimed to investigate a combination of molecular and biochemical approaches to determine the role of SNHG3 in patients at different stages of disease, and elucidate the pathway by which SNHG3 affects PCa progression. A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to assess cell proliferation. Transwell assays were used to analyze cell migration and invasion. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to evaluate the expression levels of RNAs and proteins, respectively. The results demonstrated that SNHG3 expression was upregulated in PCa tissues downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, which was associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, cell proliferation, migration and invasion were significantly inhibited following SNHG3 knockdown in vitro, the effects of which were reversed following overexpression of SNHG3 in PCa cells. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that microRNA (miRNA/miR)-1827 was a downstream target of SNHG3. The direct interaction between SNHG3 and miR-1827 was validated via the dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Pearson's correlation analysis demonstrated that SNHG3 expression was negatively correlated with miR-1827 expression at different stages of PCa. Furthermore, rescue assays indicated that cotransfection with small interfering-SNHG3 and miR-1827 inhibitor reversed the effects of SNHG3 knockdown on cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In addition, SNHG3 knockdown in vivo suppressed tumor growth. Notably, lncRNA SNHG3 promoted PCa progression through miR-1827 via the Wnt/AKT/mTOR pathway. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that SNHG3 promotes PCa progression by sponging miR-1827, indicating that SNHG3 may be a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target of PCa.
