MicroRNA-425-5p regulates chemoresistance in colorectal cancer cells via regulation of Programmed Cell Death 10.

ABSTRACT: Acquired chemoresistance represents a major obstacle in cancer treatment, the underlying mechanism of which is complex and not well understood. MiR-425-5p has been reported to be implicated tumorigenesis in a few cancer types. However, its role in regulating chemoresistance has not been investigated in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Microarray analysis was performed in isogenic chemosensitive and chemoresistant HCT116 cell lines to identify differentially expressed miRNAs. miRNA quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect miR-425-5p expression levels between drug resistant and parental cancer cells. MiR-425-5p mimic and inhibitor were transfected, followed by CellTiter-Glo(®) assay to examine drug sensitivity in these two cell lines. Western Blot and luciferase assay were performed to investigate the direct target of miR-425-5p. Xenograft mouse models were used to examine in vivo function of miR-425-5p. Our data showed that expression of miR-425-5p was significantly up-regulated in HCT116-R compared with parental HCT116 cells. Inhibition of miR-425-5p reversed chemoresistance in HCT116-R cells. Programmed cell death 10 (PDCD10) is the direct target of miR-425-5p which is required for the regulatory role of miR-425-5p in chemoresistance. MiR-425-5p inhibitor sensitized HCT116-R xenografts to chemo drugs in vivo. Our study demonstrated that miR-425-5p regulates chemoresistance of CRC cells by modulating PDCD10 expression level both in vitro and in vivo. MiR-425-5p may represent a new therapeutic target for the intervention of CRC.

MicroRNA (miRNA)-to-miRNA Regulation of Programmed Cell Death 4 (PDCD4).

Project description:The regulation of tumor suppressor genes by microRNAs (miRNAs) is often demonstrated as a one-miRNA-to-one-target relationship. However, given the large number of miRNA sites within a 3' untranslated region (UTR), most targets likely undergo miRNA cooperation or combinatorial action. Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4), an important tumor suppressor, prevents neoplastic events and is commonly downregulated in cancer. This study investigates the relationship between miRNA 21 (miR-21) and miR-499 in regulating PDCD4. This was explored using miRNA overexpression, mutational analysis of the PDCD4 3' UTR to assess regulation at each miRNA site, and 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) calculations for combinatorial behavior. We demonstrate that the first miR-499 binding site within PDCD4 is inactive, but the two remaining sites are both required for PDCD4 suppression. Additionally, the binding of miR-21 to PDCD4 influenced miR-499 activity through an increase in its silencing potency and stabilization of its mature form. Furthermore, adjoining miRNA sites more than 35 nucleotides (nt) apart could potentially regulate thousands of 3' UTRs, similar to that observed between miR-21 and miR-499. The regulation of PDCD4 serves as a unique example of regulatory action by multiple miRNAs. This relationship was predicted to occur on thousands of targets and may represent a wider mode of miRNA regulation.

MicroRNA-17-5p regulates EMT by targeting vimentin in colorectal cancer.

Project description:BackgroundEpithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is the most common cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, we investigated the functional roles of miRNA-17-5p in EMT of CRC cells.MethodsIn order to determine if miRNA-17-5p regulated EMT, the precursors and inhibitors of miR-17-5p were transduced into four CRC cells. To evaluate the regulatory mechanism, we performed argonaute 2 (Ago2) immunoprecipitation (IP) and luciferase assay. In addition, we used an intra-splenic injection mouse model of BALB/c nude mice to investigate the metastatic potential of miRNA-17-5p in vivo.ResultsThe miRNA-17-5p expression was lower in primary CRC tissues with metastasis than in primary CRC tissues without metastasis in our RNA sequencing data of patient tissue. Real-time quantitative PCR revealed that miRNA-17-5p was inversely correlated with that of vimentin in five CRC cell lines. Over-expression of miRNA-17-5p decreased vimentin expression and inhibited cell migration and invasion in both LoVo and HT29 cells. However, inhibition of miRNA-17-5p showed the opposite effect. Ago2 IP and luciferase assay revealed that miRNA-17-5p directly bound to the 3'UTR of VIM mRNA. Furthermore, miRNA-17-5p inhibited the metastasis of CRC into liver in vivo.ConclusionsOur results demonstrated that miRNA-17-5p regulates vimentin expression, thereby regulating metastasis of CRC.

Autophagy regulates inflammatory programmed cell death via turnover of RHIM-domain proteins.

Project description:RIPK1, RIPK3, ZBP1 and TRIF, the four mammalian proteins harboring RIP homotypic interaction motif (RHIM) domains, are key components of inflammatory signaling and programmed cell death. RHIM-domain protein activation is mediated by their oligomerization; however, mechanisms that promote a return to homeostasis remain unknown. Here we show that autophagy is critical for the turnover of all RHIM-domain proteins. Macrophages lacking the autophagy gene Atg16l1accumulated highly insoluble forms of RIPK1, RIPK3, TRIF and ZBP1. Defective autophagy enhanced necroptosis by Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands. TNF-mediated necroptosis was mediated by RIPK1 kinase activity, whereas TLR3- or TLR4-mediated death was dependent on TRIF and RIPK3. Unexpectedly, combined deletion of Atg16l1 and Zbp1 accelerated LPS-mediated necroptosis and sepsis in mice. Thus, ZBP1 drives necroptosis in the absence of the RIPK1-RHIM, but suppresses this process when multiple RHIM-domain containing proteins accumulate. These findings identify autophagy as a central regulator of innate inflammation governed by RHIM-domain proteins.

PHD1 regulates p53-mediated colorectal cancer chemoresistance.

Project description:Overcoming resistance to chemotherapy is a major challenge in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, especially since the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We show that silencing of the prolyl hydroxylase domain protein PHD1, but not PHD2 or PHD3, prevents p53 activation upon chemotherapy in different CRC cell lines, thereby inhibiting DNA repair and favoring cell death. Mechanistically, PHD1 activity reinforces p53 binding to p38? kinase in a hydroxylation-dependent manner. Following p53-p38? interaction and chemotherapeutic damage, p53 can be phosphorylated at serine 15 and thus activated. Active p53 allows nucleotide excision repair by interacting with the DNA helicase XPB, thereby protecting from chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. In accord with this observation, PHD1 knockdown greatly sensitizes CRC to 5-FU in mice. We propose that PHD1 is part of the resistance machinery in CRC, supporting rational drug design of PHD1-specific inhibitors and their use in combination with chemotherapy.

Maintenance of cancer stemness by miR-196b-5p contributes to chemoresistance of colorectal cancer cells via activating STAT3 signaling pathway.

Project description:Emerging studies indicated that cancer stem cells represent a subpopulation of cells within the tumor that is responsible for chemotherapeutic resistance. However, the underlying mechanism is still not clarified yet. Here we report that miR-196b-5p is dramatically upregulated in CRC tissues and high expression of miR-196b-5p correlates with poor survival in CRC patients. Moreover, recurrent gains (amplification) contribute to the miR-196b-5p overexpression in CRC tissues. Silencing miR-196b-5p suppresses spheroids formation ability, the fraction of SP cells, expression of stem cell factors and the mitochondrial potential, and enhances the apoptosis induced by 5-fluorouracil in CRC cells; while ectopic expression of miR-196b-5p yields an opposite effect. In addition, downregulation of miR-196b-5p resensitizes CRC cells to 5-fluorouracil in vivo. Our results further demonstrate that miR-196b-5p promotes stemness and chemoresistance of CRC cells to 5-fluorouracil via targeting negative regulators SOCS1 and SOCS3 of STAT3 signaling pathway, giving rise to activation of STAT3 signaling. Interestingly, miR-196b-5p is highly enriched in the serum exosomes of patients with CRC compared to the healthy control subjects. Thus, our results unravel a novel mechanism of miR-196b-5p implicating in the maintenance of stem cell property and chemotherapeutic resistance in CRC, offering a potential rational registry of anti-miR-196b-5p combining with conventional chemotherapy against CRC.

MicroRNA-28-5p Regulates Liver Cancer Stem Cell Expansion via IGF-1 Pathway.

Project description:Background:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in the regulation of cancer stem cells (CSCs). However, the role of miRNAs in liver CSCs has not been fully elucidated. Methods:Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-miR-28-5p in liver cancer stem cells (CSCs). The impact of miR-28-5p on liver CSC expansion was investigated both in vivo and in vitro. The correlation between miR-28-5p expression and sorafenib benefits in HCC was further evaluated in patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). Results:Our data showed that miR-28-5p was downregulated in sorted EpCAM- and CD24-positive liver CSCs. Biofunctional investigations revealed that knockdown miR-28-5p promoted liver CSC self-renewal and tumorigenesis. Consistently, miR-28-5p overexpression inhibited liver CSC's self-renewal and tumorigenesis. Mechanistically, we found that insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) was a direct target of miR-28-5p in liver CSCs, and the effects of miR-28-5p on liver CSC's self-renewal and tumorigenesis were dependent on IGF-1. The correlation between miR-28-5p and IGF-1 was confirmed in human HCC tissues. Furthermore, the miR-28-5p knockdown HCC cells were more sensitive to sorafenib treatment. Analysis of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) further demonstrated that the miR-28-5p may predict sorafenib benefits in HCC patients. Conclusion:Our findings revealed the crucial role of the miR-28-5p in liver CSC expansion and sorafenib response, rendering miR-28-5p an optimal therapeutic target for HCC.

CircPOFUT1 fosters colorectal cancer metastasis and chemoresistance via decoying miR-653-5p/E2F7/WDR66 axis and stabilizing BMI1.

Project description:CircRNAs are implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC) development and progression. Protein O-fucosyltransferase 1 (POFUT1) plays an oncogenic role via activating Notch1 signaling in CRC. However, the roles of circPOFUT1, which is originated from POFUT1, have not been investigated. Our study showed circPOFUT1 was highly expressed in CRC tissues and cells. CircPOFUT1 enhanced the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells, and promoted tumor growth and liver metastasis in vivo. It also reinforced stemness and chemoresistance of CRC cells. Mechanistically, circPOFUT1 regulated the function of E2F7 via sponging miR-653-5p, thereby transcriptionally inducing WDR66 expression and further promoting metastasis in CRC. On the other hand, circPOFUT1 promoted stemness and chemoresistance of CRC cells via stabilizing BMI1 in an IGF2BP1-dependent manner. In conclusion, circPOFUT1 fosters CRC metastasis and chemoresistance via decoying miR-653-5p/E2F7/WDR66 axis and stabilizing BMI1.

Programmed Death Ligand-1 on Microglia Regulates Th1 Differentiation via Nitric Oxide in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis.

Project description:Microglia are considered to be potential antigen-presenting cells and have the ability to present antigen under pathological conditions. Nevertheless, whether and how microglia are involved in immune regulation are largely unknown. Here, we investigated the suppressive activity of microglia during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, with the goal of understanding their role in regulating the T cell reaction. Using flow cytometric analysis, we found that microglia were characterized by increased cell number and up-regulated programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) at the peak phase of EAE. Meanwhile, both the CD4(+) T cells and microglia that infiltrated the central nervous system expressed higher levels of PD1, the receptor for PD-L1, accompanied by a decline of Th1 cells. In an ex vivo co-culture system, microglia from EAE mice inhibited the proliferation of antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells and the differentiation of Th1 cells, and this was significantly inhibited by PD-L1 blockade. Further, microglia suppressed Th1 cells via nitric oxide (NO), the production of which was dependent on PD-L1. Thus, these data suggest a scenario in which microglia are involved in the regulation of EAE by suppressing Th1-cell differentiation via the PD-L1-NO pathway.

MicroRNA-145-5p regulates the proliferation of epithelial ovarian cancer cells via targeting SMAD4.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies affecting females worldwide; however, its etiology mechanism remains unclear. In various malignancies, miR-145-5p is a widely accepted and versatile miRNA. Therefore, our research focused on exploring the activity and etiology of miR-145-5p in the modulation of metastasis, migration, and proliferation of EOC cells. The direct reactions between the 3'UTRs of SMAD4 mRNA and miR-145-5p were verified using dual luciferase reporter test. SKOV-3 cells were subsequently transfected using miR-145-5p mimics. Cell migration, death, and proliferation were evaluated using MTT, flow cytometry, and Transwell test. In addition, SMAD4 transcription and translation were evaluated using qRT-PCR and Western blot. RESULTS:We found that miR-145-5p expression was repressed prevalently in EOC tissues, apart from SMAD4 upregulation. Excessive miR-145-5p expression remarkably reinforced EOC cell death and repressed EOC cell proliferation. Furthermore, upregulated miR-145-5p expression noticeably repressed migration via MMP-2 and MMP-9 downregulation. Moreover, SMAD4 was downregulated via miR-145-5p transfection. The dual luciferase test revealed that miR-145-5p directly targeted SMAD4. CONCLUSIONS:Our research suggests that miR-145-5p serves as a malignancy repressor and exerts an essential impact on inhibiting malignancy generation and reinforcing EOC death via targeting SMAD4. MiR-145-5p application could serve as a promising strategy to treat EOC.

Programmed cell death 10 promotes metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of hepatocellular carcinoma via PP2Ac-mediated YAP activation.

Project description:Tumour metastasis is the main cause of postoperative tumour recurrence and mortality in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that programmed cell death 10 (PDCD10) plays an important role in many biological processes. However, the role of PDCD10 in HCC progression is still elusive. In this study, we aimed to explore the clinical significance and molecular function of PDCD10 in HCC. PDCD10 is significantly upregulated in HCC, which also correlates with aggressive clinicopathological characteristics and predicts poor prognosis of HCC patients after liver resection. High PDCD10 expression promotes HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and tumour growth, metastasis in vivo. In addition, PDCD10 could facilitate epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of HCC cells. In terms of the mechanism, PDCD10 directly binds to the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2Ac) and increases its enzymatic activity, leading to the interaction of YAP and dephosphorylation of the YAP protein. This interaction contributes to YAP nuclear translocation and transcriptional activation. PP2Ac is necessary for PDCD10-mediated HCC progression. Knocking down PP2Ac abolished the tumour-promoting role of PDCD10 in the migration, invasion and EMT of HCC. Moreover, a PP2Ac inhibitor (LB100) could restrict tumour growth and metastasis of HCC with high PDCD10 expression. Collectively, PDCD10 promotes EMT and the progression of HCC by interacting with PP2Ac to promote YAP activation, which provides new insight into the mechanism of cancer metastasis. PDCD10 may be a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for HCC.
