DSCAM-AS1 Long Non-Coding RNA Exerts Oncogenic Functions in Endometrial Adenocarcinoma via Activation of a Tumor-Promoting Transcriptome Profile.

ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence suggests that lncRNA DSCAM-AS1 acts tumor-promoting in various cancer entities. In breast cancer, DSCAM-AS1 was shown to be the lncRNA being most responsive to induction by estrogen receptor α (ERα). In this study, we examined the function of DSCAM-AS1 in endometrial adenocarcinoma using in silico and different in vitro approaches. Initial analysis of open-source data revealed DSCAM-AS1 overexpression in endometrial cancer (EC) (p < 0.01) and a significant association with shorter overall survival of EC patients (HR = 1.78, p < 0.01). In EC, DSCAM-AS1 was associated with endometrial tumor promotor gene PRL and with expression of ERα and its target genes TFF1 and PGR. Silencing of this lncRNA by RNAi in two EC cell lines was more efficient in ERα-negative HEC-1B cells and reduced their growth and the expression of proliferation activators like NOTCH1, PTK2 and EGR1. DSCAM-AS1 knockdown triggered an anti-tumoral transcriptome response as revealed by Affymetrix microarray analysis, emerging from down-regulation of tumor-promoting genes and induction of tumor-suppressive networks. Finally, several genes regulated upon DSCAM-AS1 silencing in vitro were found to be inversely correlated with this lncRNA in EC tissues. This study clearly suggests an oncogenic function of DSCAM-AS1 in endometrial adenocarcinoma via activation of a tumor-promoting transcriptome profile.

LncRNA MALAT1 exerts oncogenic functions in lung adenocarcinoma by targeting miR-204.

Project description:Accumulating evidence indicates that the lncRNAs play a critical role in cancer progression and metastasis. In this study, we found that MALAT1 upregulation was associated with larger tumor size and lymph-node metastasis, and also correlated with shorter overall survival of lung adenocarcinoma patients. Furthermore, MALAT1 promotes EMT and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo. In particular, MALAT1 upregulated the expression of miR-204 target gene SLUG through competitively 'spongeing' miR-204. In summary we unveil a branch of the MALAT1/miR-204/SLUG pathway that regulates the progression of lung adenocarcinoma.

The Long Non-Coding RNA SBF2-AS1 Exerts Oncogenic Functions In Gastric Cancer By Targeting The miR-302b-3p/E2F Transcription Factor 3 Axis.

Project description:Background and aims:Studies show that the long non-coding RNA, SBF2-AS1, plays a critical role in cancer progression, but the role of SBF2-AS1 in gastric cancer has not been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of SBF2-AS1 in gastric cancer (GC). Methods:A meta-analysis, based on the gene expression omnibus database and TCGA dataset was performed to explore the prognostic value of SBF2-AS1 in GC. RT-PCR was also conducted to investigate the clinicopathologic value of SBF2-AS1 in GC. The effect of SBF2-AS1 in GC cell lines was conducted by gain or loss-of-function assays, and the SBF2-AS1 target gene was confirmed using a luciferase reporter assay and bioinformatics. Results:SBF2-AS1 was overexpressed in GC tissues and cell lines, and SBF2-AS1 overexpression indicated poor overall survival and could serve as an independent prognostic factor. Moreover, knockdown of SBF2-AS1 inhibited cell growth, invasion, and metastasis, promoted apoptosis, and caused cell cycle arrest. Luciferase reporter and gain- or loss-of-function assays indicated that SBF2-AS1 acted as a competing endogenous (ceRNA) for microRNA (miR)-302b-3p, which blocked the inhibitory effect of miR-302b-3p on the E2F transcription factor 3 (E2F3). Conclusion:SBF2-AS1 could be a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in GC, and SBF2-AS1 accelerates tumor progression via the miR-302b-3p/E2F3 axis.

lncRNA DSCAM-AS1 facilitates the progression of endometrial cancer via miR-136-5p.

Project description:Previous studies have indicated that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) down syndrome cell adhesion molecule antisense 1 (DSCAM-AS1) serves an oncogenic role in numerous cancer types. However, its role in endometrial cancer (EC) remains largely unknown. In the present study, DSCAM-AS1 expression levels in EC tissues and cells and their normal counterparts were analyzed using reverse transcription-quantitative. In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to validate the functions of DSCAM-AS1 in EC. It was revealed that DSCAM-AS1 was expressed at a high level in EC tissues and cells after analyzing patient data and data obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Notably, it was also revealed that high DSCAM-AS1 expression was associated with a less favorable overall survival in patients with EC. Knockdown of DSCAM-AS1 was able to suppress EC cell proliferation by upregulating cell apoptosis in vitro. Furthermore, it was revealed that DSCAM-AS1 acted as a microRNA (miR)-136-5p sponge to exert its oncogenic roles in EC. Collectively and to the best of our knowledge, the current results provided first evidence that DSCAM-AS1 stimulated EC progression by regulating miR-136-5p, which may improve the understanding of the roles of ncRNAs in EC, and may help identify novel targets for anticancer treatment.

FAM83A and FAM83A-AS1 both play oncogenic roles in lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common subtype of lung cancer. Nevertheless, the detailed molecular mechanisms of the progression of LUAD remain largely unknown. The present bioinformatics analysis reported that FAM83A and FAM83A-AS1 were upregulated in LUAD tissues and associated with prognosis in patients with LUAD. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the role of FAM83A and its antisense long non-coding (lnc)RNA FAM83A-AS1 in LUAD. Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis was used to screen for potential oncogenes in LUAD and to analyze the clinical significance of FAM83A and FAM83A-AS1. Small interfering RNAs were constructed and transfected into LUAD cells to knock down the expression of FAM83A and FAM83A-AS1. EdU, Cell Counting Kit-8, Transwell and Matrigel assays were performed to detect the proliferation, migration and invasion of LUAD cells. The interaction between FAM83A-AS1, microRNA (miR)-495-3p and FAM83A was explored using a luciferase reporter assay. FAM83A and FAM83A-AS1 were both overexpressed in LUAD tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. High expression of FAM83A and FAM83A-AS1 predicted worse survival and more advanced clinical stage. Knockdown of FAM83A or FAM83A-AS1 could inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of LUAD cells. Moreover, lncRNA FAM83A-AS1 regulated the expression of FAM83A by functioning as competing endogenous RNA for miR-495-3p. These results implicated that FAM83A and FAM83A-AS1 both played oncogenic roles in LUAD and FAM83A-AS1 could regulate the expression of FAM83A by sponging miR-495-3p. The study revealed a novel regulatory mechanism of tumor development in LUAD and FAM83A and FAM83A-AS1 may be novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for LUAD.

LINC01232 exerts oncogenic activities in pancreatic adenocarcinoma via regulation of TM9SF2.

Project description:Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), one of the most prevailing malignant tumors in digestive system, is identified as one of the main culprits of cancer-associated mortality. Despite long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1232 (LINC01232) is found to be upregulated in TCGA PAAD tissues and associated with poor prognosis, the potential of LINC01232 in PAAD progression still needs more explorations. In this study, LINC01232 was chosen to be the research object in PAAD cellular processes. Functionally, loss-of function assays were carried out and the experimental results indicated that suppression of LINC01232 hindered the deterioration of PAAD by affecting cell proliferation and migration. Furthermore, relationship between LINC01232 and its nearby gene transmembrane 9 superfamily member 2 (TM9SF2) was investigated. The same expression pattern of TM9SF2 in TCGA PAAD samples was observed. It was found that upregulation of LINC01232 could be a crucial factor for the dysregulation of TM9SF2. Mechanistically, LINC01232 recruited EIF4A3 to boost TM9SF2 mRNA stability. Besides, our findings demonstrated that the transcriptional activation of LINC01232 and TM9SF2 was mediated by SP1. Therefore, we concluded that LINC01232 executed carcinogenic properties in PAAD progression via regulation of TM9SF2. In conclusion, this study was the first to unveil the role and molecular mechanism of LINC01232, suggesting LINC01232 as a promising molecular target for pancreatic cancer treatment.

A Review on the Carcinogenic Roles of DSCAM-AS1

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of transcripts with fundamental roles in the carcinogenesis. DSCAM Antisense RNA 1 (DSCAM−AS1) is an example of this group of transcripts which has been firstly identified in an attempt to find differentially expressed transcripts between breast tumor cells and benign breast samples. The pathogenic roles of DSCAM-AS1 have been vastly assessed in breast cancer, yet its roles are not restricted to this type of cancer. Independent studies in non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, osteosarcoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, melanoma and cervical cancer have validated participation of DSCAM-AS1 in the carcinogenic processes. miR-577, miR-122-5p, miR-204-5p, miR-136, miR−137, miR−382, miR−183, miR−99, miR-3173-5p, miR-874-3p, miR-874-3p, miR-150-5p, miR-2467-3p, miR-216b, miR-384, miR-186-5p, miR-338-3p, miR-877-5p and miR-101 are among miRNAs which interact with DSCAM-AS1. Moreover, this lncRNA has interactions with Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The current study aims at summarization of the results of studies which focused on the assessment of oncogenic role of DSCAM-AS1.

Long non-coding RNA DSCAM-AS1 contributes to the tumorigenesis of cervical cancer by targeting miR-877-5p/ATXN7L3 axis.

Project description:Cervical cancer (CC) is ranked as the fourth most common cancer that occurs in women universally, which normally causes pain in the lower belly. Plenty of studies have stated that the expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is linked to the cellular development of many kinds of cancers. DSCAM-AS1 has been reported to act as an oncogene in other cancer types and the aim of our study was to uncover the function and regulatory mechanism of DSCAM-AS1 in CC. In this research, our findings presented that DSCAM-AS1 expression was up-regulated in CC cells. DSCAM-AS1 led to the development of CC by enhancing cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability. DSCAM-AS1 was verified to combine with miR-877-5p and down-regulate the expression of miR-877-5p. Results also showed that ATXN7L3 was a downstream target gene of miR-877-5p and it was unfavorably modulated by miR-877-5p. Enhanced expression of ATXN7L3 counterbalanced the DSCAM-AS1 knockdown effect on the progression of CC. This was the first time to analyze the underlying regulatory mechanism of the oncogenic DSCAM-AS1. Our findings clarified that DSCAM-AS1 played as an oncogenic lncRNA by targeting miR-877-5p/ATXN7L3 axis to promote CC progression, which may provide insights into the prevention of CC.
