Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known to regulate the development and progression of various cancers. However, few lncRNAs have been well characterized in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Here, we identified the expression profile of lncRNAs and protein-coding genes via microarrays analysis of paired LUAD tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues from five female non-smokes with LUAD. A total of 498 lncRNAs and 1691 protein-coding genes were differentially expressed between LUAD tissues and paired adjacent normal tissues. A novel lncRNA, LUAD transcript 1 (LUADT1), which is highly expressed in LUAD and correlates with T stage, was characterized. Both in vitro and in vivo data showed that LUADT1 knockdown significantly inhibited proliferation of LUAD cells and induced cell cycle arrest at the G0-G1 phase. Further analysis indicated that LUADT1 may regulate cell cycle progression by epigenetically inhibiting the expression of p27. RNA immunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that LUADT1 binds to SUZ12, a core component of polycomb repressive complex 2, and mediates the trimethylation of H3K27 at the promoter region of p27. The negative correlation between LUADT1 and p27 expression was confirmed in LUAD tissue samples. These data suggested that a set of lncRNAs and protein-coding genes were differentially expressed in LUAD. LUADT1 is an oncogenic lncRNA that regulates LUAD progression, suggesting that dysregulated lncRNAs may serve as key regulatory factors in LUAD progression.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known to regulate the development and progression of various cancers, however, few lncRNAs have been well characterized in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Understanding the expression profile of lncRNAs and protein-coding genes is critical to develop new diagnosis and treatment strategies for LUAD and improving the prognosis of diagnosed patients. Five female LUAD patients with no smoking history were selected to profile lncRNA and protein-coding gene expression with microarrays. Paired tumor tissues and adjacent nontumor tissues were collected and confirmed by pathologists.

Project description:PurposeLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) play critical roles in cancer development. In this study, we aimed to explore the function and possible molecular mechanism of HMMR-AS1 involved in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).Experimental designFirstly, we analyzed HMMR-AS1 expression in LUAD tissues with the sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Next, we evaluated the effects of HMMR-AS1 on LUAD cell proliferation and apoptosis, and its regulation of miR-138 by acting as a ceRNA. The animal model was used to support the in vitro experimental findings.ResultsHMMR-AS1 expression was significantly upregulated in LUAD tissues and was associated with larger tumor diameter, advanced TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and shorter survival. Knockdown of HMMR-AS1 induced apoptosis and growth arrest in vitro and inhibited tumorigenesis in mouse xenografts. Mechanistically, HMMR-AS1 functioned as a ceRNA of miR-138, thereby leading to repression of its endogenous target sirt6. Moreover, knockdown of HMMR-AS1 dramatically inhibited tumor growth and metastasis of LUAD in vivo.ConclusionsTaken together, HMMR-AS1 is significantly over-expressed in LUAD, and HMMR-AS1-miR-138-sirt6 axis play a critical role in LUAD tumorigenesis. Our findings highlight an oncogenic role of HMMR-AS1 in LUAD.

Project description:Due to limited treatment options, pre-eclampsia (PE) is associated with fetal perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. During the causes of PE, failure of uterine spiral artery remodeling which might be related to functioning abnormally of trophoblast cells, result in the occurrence and progression of PE. Recently, abnormal expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), as imperative regulators involved in human diseases progression (included PE), which has been indicated by increasing evidence. In this research, we found that TUG1, a lncRNA, was markedly reduced in placental samples from patients with PE. Loss-function assays indicated that knockdown TUG1 significantly affected cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and network formation in vitro. RNA-seq revealed that TUG1 could affect abundant genes, and then explore the function and regulatory mechanism of TUG1 in trophoblast cells. Furthermore, RNA immunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays validated that TUG1 can epigenetically inhibit the level of RND3 through binding to EZH2, thus promoting PE development. Therefore, via illuminating the TUG1 mechanisms underlying PE development and progression, our findings might furnish a prospective therapeutic strategy for PE intervention.

Project description:NLBP (novel LZAP-binding protein) was recently shown to function as a tumor suppressor capable of inhibiting the NFκB signaling pathway. NLBP is also known as a negative regulator of cell invasion, and its expression is reduced in several cancer cell lines that have little invasive activity. Although these phenomena suggest that NLBP may be a potential tumor suppressor, its role as a tumor suppressor in human lung cancer is not well established. In contrast to our expectation, NLBP was highly expressed in the early stage of lung adenocarcinoma tissues, and overexpression of NLBP promoted proliferation of H1299 lung adenocarcinoma cells. We also found that p120 catenin (p120ctn) was a novel binding partner of NLBP, and that NLBP binds to the regulatory domain of p120ctn, and p120ctn associates with N-terminal region of NLBP, respectively. This binding leads to p120ctn stability to inhibit proteasomal degradation of p120ctn by inhibiting its ubiqutination. In addition, we also found that overexpression of NLBP and p120ctn in human lung cancer are closely related with adenocarcinoma compared with squamous cell carcinoma. Taken together, our findings reveal that NLBP is highly overexpressed in human lung adenocarcinoma, and that overexpression of NLBP promotes the cell proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma through interacting with p120ctn and suggest that NLBP may function as an oncogene in early stage carcinogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibits poor prognosis, with high metastasis and low survival. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in tumor progression. Here, we identified lncRNA MIR100HG as a pro-oncogene for TNBC progression. Knockdown of MIR100HG decreased cell proliferation and induced cell arrest in the G1 phase, whereas overexpression of MIR100HG significantly increased cell proliferation. Furthermore, MIR100HG regulated the p27 gene to control the cell cycle, and subsequently impacted the progression of TNBC. In analyzing its underlying mechanism, bioinformatics prediction and experimental data demonstrated that MIR100HG participated in the formation of RNA-DNA triplex structures. MIR100HG in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and breast cancer cell lines showed higher expression in TNBC than in other tumor types with poor prognosis. In conclusion, our data indicated a novel working pattern of lncRNA in TNBC progression, which may be a potential therapeutic target in such cancers.

Project description:Cell division cycle associated 2(CDCA2) is overexpressed in neuroblastoma and oral squamous cell carcinoma, and its overexpression positively correlates to tumor progression. However, the biological and clinical significance of CDCA2 in lung adenocarcinoma(LAC) has never been investigated. We determined the expression profile and clinical significance of CDCA2 using The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA) and tissue microarray(TMA). Furthermore, we explored the biological function of CDCA2 both in vitro and in vivo. A great upregulation of CDCA2 was observed in LAC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. Importantly, Cox regression analysis indicated that high level of CDCA2 was an independent risk factor for overall survival(OS) in LAC patients (TCGA: HR = 1.720, p = 0.004; TMA: HR = 1.971, p = 0.023). Inhibition of CDCA2 suppressed the proliferation of LAC cells via G1 phase arrest by downregulating cyclin E1(CCNE1), while overexpression of CDCA2 promoted LAC cells proliferation by upregulating CCNE1. Moreover, the oncogenic activity of CDCA2 was also confirmed in vivo. In conclusion, CDCA2 promotes proliferation of LAC cells and predicts poor prognosis in LAC patients. CDCA2 might play a significant role in LAC progression.

Project description:BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is currently the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in tumor occurrence and development as crucial cancer regulators. The present study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism and regulatory network of Linc00511 in LUAD and to identify new potential therapeutic targets for LUAD.MethodsReal-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to determine the relative Linc00511 levels in LUAD tissues and cells. The proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion abilities of LUAD cells were assessed by a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, a colony formation assay, flow cytometry, and a Transwell assay. Changes in hsa_miR-126-5p, hsa_miR-218-5p, and COL1A1 expression were analyzed using western blotting and RT-qPCR. Targeted binding between miR-126-5p/miR-218-5p and Linc00511 or COL1A1 was verified with a luciferase reporter system and confirmed by an RNA pulldown assay. The participation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was confirmed via western blotting. Xenograft animal experiments were performed to detect the impact of Linc00511 on LUAD tumor growth in vivo.ResultsIn the present work, we observed that Linc00511 was upregulated in LUAD tissues and cells. Loss/gain-of-function experiments indicated that knockdown of Linc00511 significantly inhibited LUAD cell proliferation, migration and invasion and promoted LUAD cell apoptosis, whereas overexpression of Linc00511 showed the opposite effects. In addition, we determined that Linc00511 promoted COL1A1-mediated cell proliferation and cell motility by sponging miR-126-5p and miR-218-5p. Moreover, Linc00511 activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway through upregulation of COL1A1. Finally, silencing of Linc00511 inhibited LUAD tumor growth in vivo.ConclusionsLinc00511 acts as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate COL1A1 by targeting miR-126-5p and miR-218-5p, thereby promoting the proliferation and invasion of LUAD cells.

Project description:Uridine phosphorylase 1 (UPP1) is a dimeric enzyme that plays an indispensable role in pyrimidine salvage as well as uridine homeostasis and is upregulated in various cancers, including LUAD. However, the function and underlying mechanisms of UPP1 in mediating LUAD cell progression are still largely unknown. Single-cell RNA transcription analysis was applied to compare the expression of UPP1 in tumor tissues and adjacent tissue. In vitro gain- and loss-of-function experiments with LUAD cells were performed to elucidate the functions of UPP1. Western blotting, qRT-PCR, cell apoptosis, IHC staining, Seahorse XF24 Extracellular Flux analysis, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, and bioinformatics analysis were performed to reveal the underlying mechanisms. In this study, UPP1 was found to be the top metabolism-related gene that was upregulated by single-cell transcriptomic profiling of LUAD. Next, we confirmed that UPP1 was highly expressed in LUAD tissues and cell lines and was correlated with poor overall survival in LUAD patients. UPP1 drove glycolytic metabolism and significantly regulated the sensitivity of tumors to glycolytic inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. UPP1 is subject to epigenetic regulation through histone acetylation. The CBP/p300 inhibitor SGC-CBP30 reduced the protein levels of UPP1, H3K27ac, and H3K9ac. ChIP assays revealed that acetyl-histone H3 and RNA polymerase II bind to the UPP1 promoter. UPP1 overexpression restored lactic acid production and glucose uptake compared to the SGC-CBP30 group. Our findings confirm UPP1 as a novel oncogene in LUAD, thus providing a potential novel diagnostic and therapeutic target for LUAD.
