NEAT1/MALAT1/XIST/PKD--Hsa-Mir-101-3p--DLGAP5 Axis as a Novel Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker Associated With Immune Cell Infiltration in Bladder Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Background: The clinical value of the biomarkers of bladder cancer (BC) is limited due to their low sensitivity or specificity. As a biomarker, DLG associated protein 5 (DLGAP5) is a potential cell cycle regulator in cancer cell carcinogenesis. However, its functional part in BC remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to identify DLGAP5 expression in BC and its potential diagnostic and prognostic values. Eventually, it predicts the possible RNA regulatory pathways of BC. Methods: Data on DLGAP5 expression levels in BC and normal bladder tissues were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC), Kaplan-Meier survival curves, and the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis determined the diagnostic and prognostic values of DLGAP5 in BC patients. Finally, the StarBase predicted the target RNAs and constructed networks using Cytoscape. Results: DLGAP5 expression was significantly upregulated in BC tissue, verified by the TCGA (p < 0.001), GSE3167, GSE7476, and GSE65635 datasets (p < 0.01). BC patients with increased DLGAP5 had poor overall survival (OS) (p = 0.01), disease specific survival (DSS) (p = 0.006) and progress free interval (DFI) (p = 0.007). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.913. The multivariate Cox analysis identified that lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.007) and DLGAP5 (p = 0.002) were independent prognostic factors. Conclusion: Increased DLGAP5 expression was closely associated with a poor prognosis in BC patients. In this case, DLGAP5 might be a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for BC. DLGAP5 expression might be regulated by NEAT1/MALAT1/XIST/PKD--Hsa-mir-101-3p pathways.

Project description:BackgroundExosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted by most cells to deliver functional cargoes to recipient cells. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a significant part of exosomal contents. The ease of diffusion of exosomes renders them speedy and highly efficient vehicles to deliver functional molecules. Cancer cells secrete more exosomes than normal cells. Reports have showed that exosomal miRNAs of cancer cells facilitate cancer progression. Yet the complexity of cancer dictates that many more functional exosomal miRNAs remain to be discovered.MethodsIn this study, we analyzed miRNA expression profiles of tissue and plasma exosome samples collected from 10 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and 10 healthy individuals. We focused on hsa-miR-101-3p (101-3p), a profoundly up-regulated miRNA enriched in plasma exosomes of patients bearing CRC. We performed target analysis of 101-3p and pursued functional studies of this microRNA in two colorectal cancer cell lines, namely HCT116 and SW480.ResultsOur results indicated that inhibiting 101-3p slowed cell growth and retarded cell migration in vivo in two colorectal cancer cell lines. Target analysis showed that Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase (HIPK3) is a target of miR-101-3p. HCT116 and SW480 cells stably overexpressing HIPK3 showed increased level of phosphorylated FADD, as well as retarded cell growth, migration, and increased sensitivity to 5-FU. In-depth analysis revealed increased mitochondrial membrane potential upon HIPK3 overexpression along with increased production of reactive oxygen species, number of mitochondria, and expression of respiratory complexes. Measurements of glycolytic parameters and enzymes revealed decreased level of glycolysis upon HIPK3 overexpression in these two cell lines. Xenograft model further confirmed a profoundly improved potency of the synergistic treatment combining both 5-FU and 101-3p inhibitor compared to 5-FU alone.ConclusionThis study unraveled an oncogenic nature of the exosomal 101-3p and suggested a relationship between the 101-3p-HIPK3 axis and metabolic homeostasis in colorectal cancer. Expression level of 101-3p is positively correlated with glycolytic capacity in CRC and therefore 101-3p itself is an oncomiR. Combining 101-3p inhibitor with chemotherapeutic agents is an effective strategy against CRC.
