SNF5 promotes cell proliferation and immune evasion in non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Immune evasion is the process that tumor cells accelerate growth and metastasis by evading the recognition and attack of immune cells. SNF5 is one of the core subunits of SWI/SNF, which is involved in the development of a variety of malignancies. However, the functions of SNF5 in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and the mechanism of SNF5 regulates immune evasion are still unclear. Based on this, we analyzed the expression of SNF5 and overall survival of lung cancer tissues through the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database. Then we performed genetic gain and loss of function experiments with SNF5 using lentivirus infection and siRNA in NSCLC A549 and NCI-H1299 cells, respectively. We investigated the proliferation and immune evasion of these cells. We further explored the mechanism of SNF5 on NSCLC cells immune evasion. Our data showed that SNF5 was significantly increased in lung cancer tissues than that in normal lung tissues. Furthermore, SNF5 promoted NSCLC cells proliferation and the expressions of immune evasion-related genes. Meantime, overexpressed SNF5 reduced mortality of A549 cells when co-cultured with T cells. Moreover, SNF5 regulated the immune evasion by activating the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3)/ phospho-STAT3 pathway in NSCLC cells. Together, our results validate SNF5 as a tumor oncogene and provide a new target for NSCLC treatment.

FIGNL1 promotes non?small cell lung cancer cell proliferation.

Project description:Lung cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer?associated mortality worldwide. In the present study, a novel molecular therapeutic target for lung cancer was investigated. The protein expression level of fidgetin?like 1 (FIGNL1) in human lung cancer tissues was determined and its potential functions in the H1299 and A549 lung cancer cell lines was subsequently studied. In addition, the protein expression level of FIGNL1 in 109 lung cancer samples and corresponding para?cancerous tissues was investigated, using immunohistochemical staining. RNA interference and overexpression of FIGNL1 was used to determine the role of FIGNL1 in regulating cell proliferation, and cDNA microarray analysis was performed to identify the potential regulatory pathways. Lastly, the potential role of FIGNL1 in regulating tumorigenesis in lungs and also the proliferation of lung cancer cells was investigated. Firstly, lung cancer tissues were found to express higher protein levels of FIGNL1 and was significantly associated with decreased cell proliferation, migration and invasion abilities, and enhanced cell death. Overexpression of FIGNL1 significantly promoted cell proliferation, including decreased arrest at the G1 phase of the cell cycle and apoptosis, as well as increased ability for fission and migration. These in vitro findings were consistent with the results of the cell?line derived xenografts in BALB/c nude mice, where tumor growth was decreased when injected with cells transfected with shFIGNL1. Collectively, these results provide suggest that FIGNL1 is involved in cell growth and tumorigenesis.

CCDC106 promotes non-small cell lung cancer cell proliferation.

Project description:Coiled-coil domain containing (CCDC) family members enhance tumor cell proliferation, and high CCDC protein levels correlate with unfavorable prognoses. Limited research demonstrated that CCDC106 may promote the degradation of p53/TP53 protein and inhibit its transactivity. The present study demonstrated that CCDC106 expression correlates with advanced TNM stage (P = 0.008), positive regional lymph node metastasis (P < 0.001), and poor overall survival (P < 0.001) in 183 non-small cell lung cancer cases. A549 and H1299 cells were selected as representative of CCDC106-low and CCDC106-high expressing cell lines, respectively. CCDC106 overexpression promoted A549 cell proliferation and xenograft tumor growth in nude mice, while siRNA-mediated CCDC106 knockdown inhibited H1299 cell proliferation. CCDC106 promoted AKT phosphorylation and upregulated the cell cycle-regulating proteins Cyclin A2 and Cyclin B1. Cell proliferation promoted by CCDC106 via Cyclin A2 and Cyclin B1 was rescued by treatment with the AKT inhibitor, LY294002. Our studies revealed that CCDC106 is associated with non-small cell lung cancer progression and unfavorable prognosis. CCDC106 enhanced Cyclin A2 and Cyclin B1 expression and promoted A549 and H1299 cell proliferation, which depended on AKT signaling. These results suggest that CCDC106 may be a novel target for lung cancer treatment.

Overexpression of HN1L promotes cell malignant proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a progressive malignant disease, involving the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressors. In this study, we identified and characterized a novel oncogene hematopoietic- and neurologic-expressed sequence 1-like (HN1L) in human NSCLC. Overexpression of HN1L was frequently detected in primary NSCLC compared with their non-tumor counterparts (P < 0.001), which was significantly associated with tumor size (P = 0.022). In addition, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that upregulation of HN1L correlated with worse overall survival (P = 0.029) and disease-free survival (P = 0.011) for NSCLC patients. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that inhibition of HN1L expression with shRNA dramatically inhibited cell growth, adherent and non-adherent colony formation, and tumorigenicity in nude mice. The positive correlation of HN1L expression and Ki67 level in a large NSCLC samples further suggested the key role of HN1L in the regulation of cell growth. Further study showed that knockdown of HN1L resulted in dramatic cell cycle arrest by interfering with MAPK pathway via interacting with RASA4 protein. In conclusion, HN1L plays a crucial role in the progression of NSCLC by contributing to malignant proliferation, with possible use as a new intervention point for therapeutic strategies.

Mechanisms of immune evasion and current status of checkpoint inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:In the past several years, immunotherapy has emerged as a viable treatment option for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without actionable driver mutations that have progressed on standard chemotherapy. We are also beginning to understand the methods of immune evasion employed by NSCLC which likely contribute to the 20% response rate to immunotherapy. It is also yet unclear what tumor or patient factors predict response to immunotherapy. The objectives of this review are (1) review the immunogenicity of NSCLC (2) describe the mechanisms of immune evasion (3) summarize efforts to target the anti-program death-1 (PD-1) and anti-program death-ligand 1(PD-L1) pathway (4) outline determinants of response to PD-1/PD-L1 therapy and (5) discuss potential future areas for research.

MiR-421 Is Overexpressed and Promotes Cell Proliferation in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Project description:BackgroundLung cancer is the main cause of cancer--related deaths worldwide, and the overall 5-year survival rate of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remained low. -MicroRNAs had been confirmed to be an important regulator in tumor progression, and they could serve as either tumor promoters or suppressors in NSCLC.ObjectivesTo identify the novel cancer-specific biomarkers for NSCLC patients, which may be useful to monitor tumor progression and improve NSCLC patients' survival.MethodThe expression profile of miR-421 was analyzed in NSCLC samples using public datasets, including The Cancer Genome Atlas and GSE102286. The expression level of miR-421 was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Cell proliferation and cell cycle were detected by Cell Counting Kit assay, flow cytometry assay, respectively. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis were applied to determine the biological roles of miR-421, based on the online DAVID system. Statistical comparisons between groups of normalized data were performed using t test or Mann-Whitney U test according to the test condition.ResultsIn this study, we focused on exploring the roles of miR-421 in NSCLC prognosis and growth. The present study for the first time showed that miR-421 was overexpressed in NSCLC and associated with a shorter overall survival time of patients with NSCLC. Bioinformatics analysis revealed miR-421 was involved in transcription, cell cycle, and insulin signaling pathway regulation. Furthermore, a gain of function assay showed that overexpression of miR-421 could promote NSCLC cell proliferation and cell cycle progression.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that miR-421 might be a promising prognostic and therapeutic target for NSCLC.

tRF-Leu-CAG promotes cell proliferation and cell cycle in non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:tRNA-derived RNA fragments (tRFs), non-coding single-stranded RNAs with 14-35 nt in length, were found to play important roles in gene regulation, even in carcinogenesis. In this study, we investigated the expression of tRF-Leu-CAG in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its function in the cell proliferation and cell cycle of NSCLC. The expression level of tRF-Leu-CAG was detected in NSCLC tissues, cell lines, and sera. tRF-Leu-CAG RNA levels were higher in NSCLC tumor tissues than in normal tissues, and also upregulated in NSCLC cell lines. A significant relationship was observed between stage progression and tRF-Leu-CAG in NSCLC sera. We found that in H1299 cells, inhibition of tRF-Leu-CAG suppressed cell proliferation and impeded cell cycle. AURKA was also repressed with the knockdown of tRF-Leu-CAG. Thus, our study revealed that tRF-Leu-CAG may be involved in regulating AURKA and could be a new diagnostic marker and potential therapeutic target in NSCLC.

Epididymal protein 3A is upregulated and promotes cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer types and a major contributor to cancer-associated mortalities worldwide. The aim of the present study was to investigate the function of the epididymal protein 3A (EDDM3A) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Data from patients with NSCLC were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas and analyzed, and the differences in EDDM3A expression level between 30 NSCLC tissues and matched adjacent non-tumor tissues (>5 cm) were assessed via tissue microarray analysis. It was revealed that, compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues, EDDM3A expression was significantly increased in NSCLC tissues (P=4.19×10?2). To knock down EDDM3A expression in a human NSCLC cell line, lentivirus-mediated short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) were used, and the knockdown efficiency was assessed via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting. Moreover, cell proliferation was evaluated with an MTT assay and Celigo imaging cytometry. In addition, cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V staining. It was demonstrated that knockdown of EDDM3A inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells. Furthermore, compared with the control group, the apoptotic rate of the EDDM3A-shRNA group was significantly higher. Collectively, the present results indicate the potential role of EDDM3A in NSCL and suggest that EDDM3A may represent a potent therapeutic target for treating patients with NSCLC.

MUC1-C promotes the suppressive immune microenvironment in non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:The cancer immune microenvironment is of importance for the effectiveness of immunotherapy; however, its dysregulation is poorly understood. The MUC1-C oncoprotein is aberrantly overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and has been linked to the induction of PD-L1. The present work investigated the effects of targeting MUC1-C in an immuno-competent MUC1 transgenic (MUC1.Tg) mouse model. We show that Lewis Lung Carcinoma cells expressing MUC1-C (LLC/MUC1) exhibit upregulation of PD-L1 and suppression of interferon-? (IFN-?). In studies of LLC/MUC1 cells growing in vitro and as tumors in MUC1.Tg mice, treatment with the MUC1-C inhibitor, GO-203, was associated with the downregulation of PD-L1 and induction of IFN-?. The results further demonstrate that targeting MUC1-C results in enhanced effector function of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as evidenced by increased expression of the activation marker CD69, the degranulation marker CD107?, and granzyme B. Notably, targeting MUC1-C was also associated with marked increases in TIL-mediated killing of LLC/MUC1 cells. Analysis of gene expression data sets further showed that overexpression of MUC1 in NSCLCs correlates negatively with CD8, IFNG and GZMB, and that decreases in CD8 and IFNG are associated with poor clinical outcomes. These findings in LLC/MUC1 tumors and in NSCLCs indicate that MUC1-C?PD-L1 signaling promotes the suppression of CD8+ T-cell activation and that MUC1-C is a potential target for reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment.

Periostin is a negative prognostic factor and promotes cancer cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:Periostin is a matricellular protein that is secreted by fibroblasts and interacts with various cell-surface integrin molecules. Although periostin is known to support tumor development in human malignancies, little is known about its effect on lung-cancer progression. We here demonstrate that periostin is a negative prognostic factor that increases tumor proliferation through ERK signaling in non-small cell lung carcinoma. We classified 189 clinical specimens from patients with non-small cell lung-cancer according to high or low periostin expression, and found a better prognosis for patients with low rather than high periostin, even in cases of advanced-stage cancer. In a syngenic implantation model, murine Ex3LL lung-cancer cells formed smaller tumor nodules in periostin-/- mice than in periostin+/+ mice, both at the primary site and at metastatic lung sites. An in vitro proliferation assay showed that stimulation with recombinant periostin increased Ex3LL-cell proliferation. We also found that periostin promotes ERK phosphorylation, but not Akt or FAK activation. These findings suggest that periostin represents a potential target in lung-cancer tumor progression.

Hsa_circ_0003998 promotes cell proliferation and invasion by targeting miR-326 in non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:Background:Circular RNAs represent a new class of noncoding RNAs involved in the development of cancer. However, little is known about their role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:We examined hsa_circ_0003998 levels in 60 NSCLC tissues by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and analyzed the clinicopathologic significance of hsa_circ_0003998 expression. The effect of small interfering RNA-mediated hsa_circ_0003998 knockdown on proliferation and invasion was analyzed in A549 and H1299 cells in vitro. Moreover, the target genes of hsa_circ_0003998 were further explored by bioinformatic analysis, dual luciferase reporter assays, and rescue experiments. Results:Hsa_circ_0003998 upregulation was associated with larger tumor size and lymph node metastasis and also correlated with shorter overall survival of NSCLC patients. Functional experiments showed knockdown of hsa_circ_0003998 restrained cell proliferation and invasion in NSCLC cells. In particular, hsa_circ_0003998 upregulated the expression of miR-326 target gene Notch1 through sponging miR-326. Furthermore, the tumor-inhibiting effect of hsa_circ_0003998 silencing was blocked by miR-326 inhibitor. Conclusion:hsa_circ_0003998/miR-326/Notch1 pathway regulates the progression of NSCLC.
