MicroRNA-9 enhances migration and invasion through KLF17 in hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Metastasis is one of the hallmarks of cancer malignancy that usually causes more detrimental effects than a primary tumor. Many microRNAs were reported to be involved in the process of tumor metastasis. Hep11 and Hep12 cells were derived from primary and recurrence (intrahepatic metastatic) sites of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), respectively. Hep12 exhibited a higher invasive and migratory potential than Hep11. There was also a significantly higher expression of miR-9 in Hep12 cells than in Hep11 cells. Further studies in HCC cell lines demonstrated that miR-9 could promote tumor cell migration and invasion. In addition, miR-9 downregulated KLF17 protein expression by targeting the 3'UTR region of the KLF17 gene directly. As a transcription factor, KLF17 directly acted on the promoters of EMT-related genes (ZO-1, Vimentin and Fibronectin (FN)) in HCC cell lines. Therefore, we conclude that miR-9 may possibly promote HCC migration and invasion through regulation of KLF17.

MicroRNA-1246 enhances migration and invasion through CADM1 in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundThe aberrant expression of microRNAs has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in the initiation and progression of hepatocarcinoma. miR-1246 expression in High invasive ability cell line than significantly higher than that in low invasive ability cell line.MethodsTranswell chambers (8-uM pore size; Costar) were used in the in vitro migration and invison anssay. Dual luciferase reporter gene construct and Dual luciferase reporter assay to identify the target of miR-1246. CADM1 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistric staining. The clinical manifestations, treatments and survival were collected for statistical analysis.ResultsInhibition of miR-1246 effectively reduced migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-1246 specifically targeted the 3'-UTR of Cell adhesion molecule 1 and regulated its expression. Down-regulation of CADM1 enhanced migration and invasion of HCC cell lines. Furthermore, in tumor tissues obtained from liver cancer patients, the expression of miR-1246 was negatively correlated with CADM1 and the high expression of miR-1246 combined with low expression of CADM1 might serve as a risk factor for stage1 liver cancer patients.ConclusionsOur study showed that miR-1246, by down-regulation CADM1, enhances migration and invasion in HCC cells.

MicroRNA-424 is down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma and suppresses cell migration and invasion through c-Myb.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of multiple cellular processes, and the aberrant miRNAs expressions have been observed in different types of cancer including HCC. Their pathysiologic role and their relevance to tumorigenesis are still largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated the down-regulation of miR-424 in HCC cell lines and tissues by quantitative RT-PCR analyses. Overexpression of miR-424 reduced the HCC cell prolifetation, migration, and invasion. Conversely, inhibiton of miR-424 expression significantly accelerated the cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In addition, we further identified c-Myb as a functional downstream target of miR-424 by directly targeting the 3'UTR of c-Myb. Furthermore, overexpression of c-Myb impaired miR-424-induced inhibition of proliferation and invasion in HCC cells. Our results demonstrated that miR-424 was involved in tumorigenesis of HCC at least in part by suppression of c-Myb.

Knockdown of MUC16 (CA125) Enhances the Migration and Invasion of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells.

Project description:As an important global medical problem, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been recognized as the most frequent primary liver cancer and a leading cause of death among patients with cirrhosis. Surveillance of HCC using serum markers aims to reduce the disease-related mortality of HCC. MUC16 (mucin 16, also known as carbohydrate antigen 125, CA125) has been predicted as a tumor biomarker for many cancer types. Based on the high frequency mutation rate in a database from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we investigated the effects of MUC16 knockdown and the regulatory profile of MUC16 in HepG2 and Huh7 cell lines. Knockdown of MUC16 was conducted via siRNA transfection, and the proliferation of cells was not affected by CCK8 assay results. Moreover, decreasing the expression of MUC16 enhanced the migration and invasion of cells, as shown by wound healing and transwell assays. Furthermore, RNA-seq was used to investigate the effect of MUC16 knockdown on the gene expression profile of HepG2 and Huh7 cells. Our study demonstrated the significant role of MUC16 in the inhibition of the migration and invasion of HepG2 and Huh7 cells.

Exosomal DLX6-AS1 from hepatocellular carcinoma cells induces M2 macrophage polarization to promote migration and invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma through microRNA-15a-5p/CXCL17 axis.

Project description:BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells-secreted exosomes (exo) could stimulate M2 macrophage polarization and promote HCC progression, but the related mechanism of long non-coding RNA distal-less homeobox 6 antisense 1 (DLX6-AS1) with HCC-exo-mediated M2 macrophage polarization is largely ambiguous. Thereafter, this research was started to unearth the role of DLX6-AS1 in HCC-exo in HCC through M2 macrophage polarization and microRNA (miR)-15a-5p/C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 17 (CXCL17) axis.MethodsDLX6-AS1, miR-15a-5p and CXCL17 expression in HCC tissues and cells were tested. Exosomes were isolated from HCC cells with overexpressed DLX6-AS1 and co-cultured with M2 macrophages. MiR-15a-5p/CXCL17 down-regulation assays were performed in macrophages. The treated M2 macrophages were co-cultured with HCC cells, after which cell migration, invasion and epithelial mesenchymal transition were examined. The targeting relationships between DLX6-AS1 and miR-15a-5p, and between miR-15a-5p and CXCL17 were explored. In vivo experiment was conducted to detect the effect of exosomal DLX6-AS1-induced M2 macrophage polarization on HCC metastasis.ResultsPromoted DLX6-AS1 and CXCL17 and reduced miR-15a-5p exhibited in HCC. HCC-exo induced M2 macrophage polarization to accelerate migration, invasion and epithelial mesenchymal transition in HCC, which was further enhanced by up-regulated DLX6-AS1 but impaired by silenced DLX6-AS1. Inhibition of miR-15a-5p promoted M2 macrophage polarization to stimulate the invasion and metastasis of HCC while that of CXCL17 had the opposite effects. DLX6-AS1 mediated miR-15a-5p to target CXCL17. DLX6-AS1 from HCC-exo promoted metastasis in the lung by inducing M2 macrophage polarization in vivo.ConclusionDLX6-AS1 from HCC-exo regulates CXCL17 by competitively binding to miR-15a-5p to induce M2 macrophage polarization, thus promoting HCC migration, invasion and EMT.

miR-185 inhibits cell migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma through CDC42.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary liver cancer with high incidence and mortality. miR-185, a microRNA with appriximately 22-28 nucleotides, was reported to be involved in many cancers. The potential mechanism of miR-185 on HCC through cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) was investigated. RT-qPCR was used to measure the RNA level of miR-185 and CDC42 in HCC tissues and cells. The dual luciferase reporter assay was used to verify whether CDC42 was a target gene for miR-185. Transwell assay was employed to detect the ability of migration and invasion to change miR-185. miR-185 expression was low in HCC and negatively correlated with CDC42. miR-185 inhibited HCC migration, invasion and miR-185 low expression predicted poor prognosis. CDC42 was predicted to be a target gene for miR-185, and regulated by miR-185. miR-185 suspressed the ability of cell migration and invasion through CDC42 in HCC. In conclusion, miR-185 suspressed migration and invasion of HCC cells by directly targeting CDC42. It is suggested that miR-185/CDC42 axis may present a novel target for HCC treatment.

MicroRNA-138 targets SP1 to inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Project description:The identification of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) has enabled the improved understanding of the carcinogenesis and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs comprised of 19-24 nucleotides that regulate the expression of target genes. In the present study, miR-138 was demonstrated to be downregulated in human HCC tissues and cell lines. Restoration of miR-138 expression repressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells. Furthermore, specificity protein 1 (SP1) was identified as a target gene of miR-138 in HCC using bioinformatics analysis, luciferase reporter assay, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. Knockdown of SP1 produced similar suppressive effects to those induced by miR-138 overexpression in HCC cells. These results indicate that miR-138 targeted SP1 to repress the growth, migration and invasion of HCC cells, and may therefore represent a therapeutic target in human HCC.

MicroRNA-144 inhibits cell proliferation, migration and invasion in human hepatocellular carcinoma by targeting CCNB1.

Project description:BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies with a high morbidity and mortality worldwide. MicroRNAs are key regulators of HCC genesis. However, the regulatory role and underlying mechanisms of microRNA in HCC is still limited.MethodsCyclin B1 (CCNB1) mRNA levels were examined in non-tumor and liver cancer of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort. CCNB1 was knockdown to evaluate the HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. MicroRNA-144 targeting CCNB1 was identified with TargetScan analysis and confirmed with reporter assay. Overexpression of MicroRNA-144 was achieved using microRNA mimics and function of microRNA-144 was tested in vitro HCC cell line proliferation and in vivo tumor formation experiments.ResultsHere, we found that the high level expression of CCNB1 was closely associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients. Knockdown of CCNB1 by RNA interference significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion in HCC. Furthermore, we found that miR-144 directly targeted CCNB1 and inhibited CCNB1 expression. Moreover, in vivo experiments of subcutaneous tumor formation further demonstrated that miR-144 delayed tumor formation by negative regulation of CCNB1.ConclusionTherefore, we conclude that microRNA-144/CCNB1 axis plays an important role in human HCC. Therapies targeting microRNA-144 could potentially improve HCC treatment.

Non-SMC condensin I complex subunit H enhances proliferation, migration, and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Non-SMC condensing I complex subunit H (NCAPH) is a member of the Barr protein family and part of the condensin I complex. The upregulation of NCAPH is associated with poor prognosis in patients with colon cancer. However, the relationship between NCAPH and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. This study aimed to explore NCAPH expression in HCC tissues and to investigate NCAPH functions in HCC cells. In this study, we found that high expression of NCAPH in HCC indicated worse prognosis via bioinformatics analysis. Consistently, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assays in 20 pairs of HCC specimens and the immunohistochemical analysis of 100 HCC tissues showed the upregulation of NCAPH. We established stable NCAPH-overexpressing and NCAPH knockdown cell lines. Cell Counting Kit-8 assays and colony formation assay were performed to analyze cell proliferation. Migration and invasion were analyzed by Transwell assays. Subcutaneous xenograft models were used to explore the role of NCAPH in tumor formation in vivo. Our results showed that NCAPH promoted tumor proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, our findings indicate that NCAPH could serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for patients with HCC.

MicroRNA-212-3p inhibits paclitaxel resistance through regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition, migration and invasion by targeting ZEB2 in human hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common tumor malignances with poor chemotherapeutic efficiency due to chemoresistance. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have essential roles in regulating chemoresistance. However, the mechanism underlying the involvement of miR-212-3p in paclitaxel (PTX) resistance in HCC remains unclear. PTX resistance was investigated in the present study by assessing cell viability, the half maximal inhibitory concentration of PTX, resistance-associated protein levels and apoptosis. The expression levels of miR-212-3p and zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and invasion were evaluated by western blotting and transwell assay. The association between miR-212-3p and ZEB2 was investigating by the luciferase activity. The results showed that treatment of HCC cells with PTX inhibited cell viability and miR-212-3p level. Moreover, miR-212-3p was reduced and its overexpression resulted in decreased cell viability, half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of PTX and levels of P-glycoprotein and glutathione S-transferase ?, but increased cell apoptosis, in Huh7/PTX cells. However, miR-212-3p knockdown induced opposite effects in Huh7 cells. Furthermore, EMT, migration and invasion were induced in Huh7/PTX cells and the addition of miR-212-3p inhibited EMT, migration and invasion. Meanwhile, miR-212-3p abrogation caused the opposite effects in Huh7 cells. Additionally, ZEB2 was directly targeted by miR-212-3p and its restoration or silencing abated the effect of miR-221-3p overexpression or knockdown in Huh7/PTX or Huh7 cells, respectively. The data from the present study suggest that miR-212-3p attenuates PTX resistance, by regulating EMT, migration and invasion via targeting ZEB2 in HCC cells, indicating a novel target for HCC chemotherapy.

MicroRNA-33a-3p suppresses cell migration and invasion by directly targeting PBX3 in human hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to function as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors by negatively regulating target genes involved in tumor initiation and progression. In this study, we demonstrated that down-regulation of miR-33a-3p in human primary hepatocellular cancer (HCC) specimens was significantly associated with metastases and poor survival. Over-expression of miR-33a-3p in HepG2 cells remarkably suppressed not only cell growth, migration and invasion, but also tumor growth and metastases in the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay, and down-regulated Pre-B-Cell Leukemia Homeobox 3 (PBX3) expression. Conversely, inhibition of miR-33a-3p in Bel-7402 cells resulted in increased of cell growth, spreading and invasion. Furthermore, rescue experiments by over-expression PBX3 completely eliminated the inhibitory effects of miR-33a-3p on tumor growth and metastasis, both in vitro and in vivo. The luciferase assay showed that 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) of PBX3 were inhibited significantly by miR-33a-3p, while mutations in the miR-33a-3p pairing residues rescued the luciferase expression. Taken together, our findings suggest that miR-33a-3p suppressed the malignant phenotype while also inhibiting PBX3 expression in hepatocellular cancer, implying that miR-33a-3p may be a promising biomarkers and therapy target for HCC intervention.
