High expression of long non-coding RNA NEAT1 indicates poor prognosis of human cancer.

ABSTRACT: The nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) is a long non-coding RNA. Many studies have reported that NEAT1 plays critical oncogenic roles and facilitates tumorigenesis of various human cancers. High NEAT1 expression is associated with a poor prognosis in cancer patients. This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association between NEAT1 levels and survival times of cancer patients. Overall survival (OS) was the primary endpoint. Thirteen publications with 1,496 cancer patients from 5 databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Wiley Online Library, and Medline) met the criteria for this meta-analysis. Results of the analysis showed that NEAT1 expression in human cancer was significantly associated with OS (hazard ratio [HR]=1.53, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.39-1.68), including digestive system tumor (HR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.37-1.73) and respiratory carcinomas (HR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.11-1.85). The results also indicated that NEAT1 expression was highly associated with tumor size (>3 cm vs. ≤3 cm; odds ratio [OR]=2.51, 95% CI: 1.27-4.99; p=0.009), TNM stage (III+IV vs. I+II; OR=4.17, 95% CI: 2.42-7.18; p=0.00001), and distant metastasis (OR=2.73, 95% CI: 1.28-5.79; p=0.01). However, there was no significant association with differentiation (poor vs. well + moderate, OR=1.45, 95% CI: 0.72-2.91) and lymph node metastasis (OR=1.39, 95% CI: 0.54-3.60). This meta-analysis showed that NEAT1 expression may be a useful biomarker for predicting a poor prognosis in patients with cancer.

Long non-coding RNA SNHG1 indicates poor prognosis and facilitates disease progression in acute myeloid leukemia.

Project description:The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is becoming increasingly questioned. Previous studies have reported that the lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) is involved in multiple human malignant tumors, while its expression and role in AML is still unexplored. Here, we show that SNHG1 is highly expressed in AML specimens from non-M3 patients, as well as AML cell lines. Meanwhile, upregulation of SNHG1 is correlated with poor prognosis. Notably, SNHG1 facilitates the proliferation and inhibits the apoptosis of AML cells in vitro Consistent with these findings, knockdown of SNHG1 significantly inhibits AML progression in an immunodeficient mouse model. Mechanistically, we found that an anti-tumor microRNA-101 (miR-101) is upregulated and its target genes are downregulated in AML cells after SNHG1 knockdown. Further investigations display that SNHG1 can serve as a competing endogenous RNA to inhibit miR-101. In conclusion, our data indicate that SNHG1 plays an important role in facilitating AML progression at least in part by negatively regulating miR-101, and provides a new target for treating AML.

Long non-coding RNA NEAT1 overexpression is associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are playing important roles in cancer progression and metastasis. Recent studies have demonstrated that the lncRNA, nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1), was aberrantly up-regulated in various types of cancers and was reported to be associated with unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients. This study examined the relationship between NEAT1 and relevant clinical outcomes.A total of 1354 patients from 11 eligible studies were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that high expression level of NEAT1 was significantly associated with shorter overall survival in cancer patients (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.36-1.71); in the subgroup analysis, the positive association was also found in patients with hepato-gastroenterol cancers (HR = 1.79, 95% CI = 1.48-2.16), non-small cell lung cancer (HR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.04-1.76), ovarian cancer (HR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.11-1.79) and other types of cancers (HR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.11-1.81). The clinicopathological parameters analysis further showed that increased expression level of NEAT1 was positively correlated with larger tumor size (odds ratio (OR) = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.26-2.41), lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.71-3.06), advanced TNM stage (OR = 3.60, 95% CI = 2.27-5.72), poor tumor differentiation (OR = 2.16, 95% CI = 1.58-2.93), distant metastasis (OR = 3.51, 95% CI = 1.75-7.01), and invasion depth (OR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.36-2.75).A comprehensive search was performed in Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and CNKI databases, and eligible studies were included based on defined exclusion and inclusion criteria to perform meta-analysis.The meta-analysis results from present study suggested that increased expression level of NEAT1 was associated with unfavorable prognosis and may serve as a predictive factor for clinicopathological features in various cancers.

Clinical implication of long non-coding RNA NEAT1 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

Project description:UNLABELLED:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a primary malignancy of the liver, is associated with high mortality rate and poor prognosis. Emerging evidence showed that novel biomarkers are required toward a better understanding of the biological mechanisms of HCC. NEAT1 (nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1, also known as MEN?/?), a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), serves as a crucial regulator in several cancers. However, the correlation between NEAT1 expression with tumorigenesis and metastasis in HCC tissues remains out of the question so far. In the current study, the aim was to evaluate the potential role of NEAT1 expression in HCC tissues and its relationship with clinicopathological parameters. METHOD:The expression of NEAT1 was detected by qRT-PCR, in 95 cases of adjacent non-cancerous liver and their paired HCC tissues, respectively. The associations of NEAT1 with clinicopathological features and other biological factors were further analyzed. RESULT:Our results revealed that NEAT1 appeared to have higher expression in the HCC tissues, compared with the adjacent non-cancerous liver tissues. High levels of NEAT1 promoted the clinical features of HCC, including the number of tumor nodes, metastasis, clinical TNM stage, the status of portal vein tumor embolus, vaso-invasion and the infiltration of tumor cells. Additionally, high NEAT1 expression levels were significantly associated with the expression level of MDTH, NM23 and MALAT1. CONCLUSION:Our study demonstrates that NEAT1 acts as a pivotal player in tumorigenesis and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Decreased expression of long non-coding RNA GAS5 indicates a poor prognosis and promotes cell proliferation and invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma by regulating vimentin.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Recent studies have demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key in carcinogenesis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of lncRNA GAS5 in HCC tissues and to define the role of growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) in the regulation of hepatoma cell proliferation, invasion and apoptosis. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization were performed to investigate the expression of GAS5 in tumor tissues and corresponding adjacent tissues from 50 patients with HCC. Low expression of GAS5 was significantly correlated with differentiation (P<0.010) and portal vein tumor thrombosis (P=0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that GAS5 expression was an independent predictor for overall survival (P=0.017). Further experiments demonstrated that overexpression of GAS5 significantly suppressed the proliferation and invasion of hepatoma cells in vitro. Overexpression of GAS5 significantly promoted the apoptosis of hepatoma cells. In addition, it was demonstrated that GAS5 negatively regulates vimentin expression in vitro and in vivo. Notably, vimentin knockdown promoted GAS5-pcDNA3.1-inhibition of hepatoma cell proliferation. In conclusion, the present study suggests an important role of GAS5 in the molecular etiology of HCC and suggests the potential application of GAS5 in HCC therapy.

The TGF?-Induced Long Non-coding RNA TBULC Promotes the Invasion and Migration of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Cells and Indicates Poor Prognosis.

Project description:Objective: To investigate the biological function and clinicopathological significance of the TGF?-induced long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) TBULC in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to analyze its potential value in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods: RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression level of TBULC in NSCLC cells and tissues, and the correlation between the TBULC expression level and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed. A cytoplasmic/nuclear fractionation assay was performed to define the cellular localization of the TBULC. A rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) assay was performed to acquire the full-length sequence of the TBULC. Stable TBULC overexpression and TBULC knockdown cell clones were constructed by lentiviral infection, and Transwell assays were used to explore the effect of the TBULC on cell invasion and migration. Results: Stimulation with TGF? in NSCLC cell lines significantly upregulated the expression level of the nuclear-localized lncRNA TBULC. The RACE assay indicated that the full-length TBULC sequence was 1,020 nucleotides, and the sequence was located on chromosome 15. Cell function experiments showed that the TBULC played a crucial role in promoting NSCLC metastasis. Knockdown of TBULC significantly suppressed the invasion and migration of NSCLC cells, and overexpression of TBULC had the opposite effects. The expression level of TBULC in 106 NSCLC tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues, and TBULC was proven to be an independent prognostic factor in NSCLC patients [p = 0.030, OR = 0.513 (0.281-0.936)]. Conclusion: The TGF?-induced lncRNA TBULC was upregulated in NSCLC and promoted the invasion and migration of NSCLC cells. TBULC was an independent prognostic factor and might be a potential biomarker for predicting the prognosis of NSCLC patients.

High RNF40 expression indicates poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Human RING-finger protein 40 (RNF40) is reported as an E3 ligase of H2B ubiquitination. RNF40 needs to couple with its homolog RNF20 to format a complex to regulate DNA double strand break (DSB) response and chromatin stability. Deficient expression of RNF40 might cause incorrect DNA repair and contribute to genomic instability, leading to an abnormal transcriptional program. Incorrect DSB repair and aberrant gene transcription play important roles in tumorigenesis. The role in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), however, remains unclear. In this study, we selected 103 cases of HCC for immunohistochemistry to explore the role of RNF40 in HCC. The relationship between RNF40 expression and clinicopathological features of HCC was evaluated. RNF40 was mainly localized in the nucleus, where the percentage of low and high staining of RNF40 in tumor tissues was 50.4% (53/103) and 49.6% (50/103), respectively. By contrast, in para-normal tissues the percentage was 92.2% (95/103) and 7.8% (8/103) respectively. Expression of RNF40 in tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in para-normal tissues (P>0.01). Expression of RNF40 had significant association with AFP and TNM tumor stage (both P>0.01). However, age, gender, Hepatitis B Virus infection, liver cirrhosis, tumor size, tumor number, differential stage, and tumor thrombosis were not associated with RNF40 expression. Meanwhile, HCC patients with high expression of RNF40 had lower 5 year overall survival rates and disease-free survival rates (P>0.05). RNF40 is, potentially, an independent prognostic factor for survival in HCC.

Upregulated long non-coding RNA AFAP1-AS1 expression is associated with progression and poor prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Project description:Altered expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with human carcinogenesis. We performed a cDNA microarray analysis of lncRNA expression in 12 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and 4 non-tumor nasopharyngeal epitheliums. One lncRNA, actin filament associated protein 1 antisense RNA1 (AFAP1-AS1), was identified and selected for further study. AFAP1-AS1 expression was upregulated in NPC and associated with NPC metastasis and poor prognosis. In vitro experiments demonstrated that AFAP1-AS1 knockdown significantly inhibited the NPC cell migration and invasive capability. AFAP1-AS1 knockdown also increased AFAP1 protein expression. Proteomic and bioinformatics analyses suggested that AFAP1-AS1 affected the expression of several small GTPase family members and molecules in the actin cytokeratin signaling pathway. AFAP1-AS1 promoted cancer cell metastasis via regulation of actin filament integrity. AFAP1-AS1 might be a potential novel marker that can predict cancer patient prognosis and as a potential therapeutic target for NPC.

Over-Expression of Long Non-Coding RNA-AC099850.3 Correlates With Tumor Progression and Poor Prognosis in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common histological lung cancer, and it is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in the initiation and progression of various cancers. LncRNA-AC099850.3 is a novel lncRNA that is abnormally expressed in diverse cancer types including LUAD. However, the clinical significance, prognostic value, diagnostic value, immune role, and potential biological function of AC099850.3 LUAD remain elusive. In this study, we found that AC099850.3 was highly expressed in LUAD and associated with an advanced tumor stage, poor prognosis, and immune infiltration. Receiver operating curve analysis revealed the significant diagnostic ability of AC099850.3 (AUC=0.888). Functionally, the knockdown of AC099850.3 restrained LUAD cell proliferation and migration in vitro. Finally, we constructed a competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) network that included hsa-miR-101-3p and 4 mRNAs (ESPL1, AURKB, BUB3, and FAM83D) specific to AC099850.3 in LUAD. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that a lower expression of miR-101-3p and a higher expression of ESPL1, AURKB, BUB3, and FAM83D, were associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with LUAD. This finding provided a comprehensive view of the AC099850.3-mediated ceRNA network in LUAD, thereby highlighting its potential role in the diagnosis and prognosis of LUAD.

Long Non-Coding RNA LINC00467 Correlates to Poor Prognosis and Aggressiveness of Breast Cancer.

Project description:Breast cancer remains the leading cause of female cancer-related mortalities worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been increasingly reported to play pivotal roles in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Herein, we focused on LINC00467, which has never been studied in breast cancer. Silence of LINC00467 suppressed proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of breast cancer cells in vitro, whereas forced expression of LINC00467 exhibited the opposite effects. Furthermore, we demonstrated overexpression of LINC00467 promoted tumor growth, while knockdown of LINC00467 inhibited pulmonary metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, LINC00467 down-regulated miR-138-5p by acting as a miRNA "sponge". Besides, LINC00467 also up-regulated the protein level of lin-28 homolog B (LIN28B) via a direct interaction. A higher expression level of LINC00467 was observed in breast cancer tissues as compared to the adjacent normal counterparts and elevated LINC00467 predicted poor overall survival. Our findings suggest LINC00467 promotes progression of breast cancer through interacting with miR-138-5p and LIN28B directly. LINC00467 may serve as a potential candidate for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
