MiR-30b/30d regulation of GalNAc transferases enhances invasion and immunosuppression during metastasis

ABSTRACT: To metastasize, a tumor cell must acquire abilities such as the capacity to colonize new tissue and evade immune surveillance. Recent evidence suggests that microRNAs can promote the evolution of malignant behaviors by regulating multiple targets simultaneously. We performed a microRNA analysis of human melanoma, an aggressively invasive cancer, and found that miR-30b/30d upregulation correlates with stage, metastatic potential of primary tumors, shorter time to recurrence and reduced overall survival. Ectopic expression of miR-30b/30d promoted the metastatic behavior of melanoma cells by directly targeting the GalNAc transferase GALNT7, resulted in increased synthesis of the immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10, and reduced immune cell activation and recruitment. These data point to a key role of miR-30b/30d and GalNAc transferases in metastasis, by simultaneously promoting cellular invasion and immune suppression. MicroRNAs are emerging as key contributors to tumor metastasis because of their ability to regulate multiple targets, and thereby alter several functions, simultaneously. We found a miRNA cluster that promotes metastasis by concurrently enhancing invasive capabilities of melanoma cells and suppressing immune surveillance mechanisms, allowing the tumor cells to migrate and invade foreign tissue. Both these effects of miR-30b/30d are mediated by direct suppression of GalNAc transferases. Aberrant glycosylation has previously been connected to tumor progression, but the underlying molecular mechanisms and their impact on specific cellular pathways are poorly understood. Our work places the control of glycosylation as a novel molecular link between tumor cell migration and immune evasion, two processes that act synergistically during metastasis. 2 different melanoma cell line, 2 biological duplicates for each cell line Differentially expressed genes (mRNAs) in response to miRNA over-expression

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of miR-204 on the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer by targeted regulation of HNRNPA2B1.MethodsThe bioinformatics database was used to obtain data of the expressions of miR-204 in breast cancer patients and the survival rate of the patients. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-204 in breast cancer cell lines. The expression vector GV369-miR-204 was used to overexpress miR-204 in MDA-MB-231 cells. Transwell assay was performed to detect the effect of miR-204 on the migration and invasion ability of the breast cancer cells. The key genes (hub genes) of miR-204 were determined by bioinformatics method. A dual luciferase assay was used to analyze the targeting relationship between miR-204 and HNRNPA2B1. The expression of HNRNPA2B1 in MDA-MB-231 cells after miR-204 overexpression was detected by Western blotting, and Transwell assay was used to examine the changes in the cell invasion ability.ResultsThe expression of miR-204 was decreased in both breast cancer tissues, and was significantly lower in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells than in MCF-10A cells (P < 0.05). The decreased expression of miR-204 was associated with poorer prognosis of breast cancer patients (P < 0.05). Upregulation of miR-204 in MDA-MB-231 cells significantly inhibited the invasion and migration of the cells (P < 0.05). Analysis of the data from the Starbase revealed that the expression of miR-204-5p was negatively correlated with the expression of HNRNPA2B1, and the expression of HNRNPA2B1 was increased in breast cancer patients (P < 0.05) in association with a poorer prognosis of the patients (P < 0.05). Dual luciferase assay demonstrated that miR-204 could bind to HNRNPA2B1 in a target-specific manner. Western blotting and Transwell assay showed that miR-204 significant inhibited the migration and invasion ability of breast cancer cells by targeting HNRNPA2B1 (P < 0.05).ConclusionsmiR-204 expression is decreased in breast cancer tissues and cells, and its overexpression can inhibit the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells by targeted regulation of HNRNPA2B1.
