Long non-coding RNA HNF1A-AS1 promotes proliferation and suppresses apoptosis of bladder cancer cells through upregulating Bcl-2.

ABSTRACT: Emerging evidences have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pivotal regulators of tumor development and progression. HNF1A-AS1 (HNF1A antisense RNA 1, C12 or f27) is a novel long non-coding RNA that acts as a potential biomarker and is involved in development and progression of several cancers. Nevertheless, we know nothing about the clinical significance and molecular mechanism of HNF1A-AS1 in bladder cancer. In this study, we found that HNF1A-AS1 is significantly up-regulated in bladder cancer. Further experiments had demonstrated that silencing HNF1A-AS1 in bladder cancer cells could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis. Mechanistically, we found down-regulated of HNF1A-AS1 increased the expression of miR-30b-5p and subsequently inhibited the expression of Bcl-2, in a ceRNA-dependent way. Moreover, knockdown of miR-30b-5p reversed cell proliferation inhibition and cell apoptosis induced by silencing HNF1A-AS1. In conclusions, we demonstrated that HNF1A-AS1 plays an important regulatory role in bladder cancer and shed new light on lncRNA-directed diagnostic and therapeutics in bladder cancer.

Project description:ObjectiveIn this study, we aimed to clarify the effects of long noncoding ribonucleic acid prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 on bladder cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis.MethodsMicroarrays were implemented to investigate the long noncoding ribonucleic acid expression profiles in bladder cancer tissue (N = 9) and in noncancer bladder tissue (N = 5). Relative prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 expression levels in tissue samples or cell lines were detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 expression was enhanced by the transfection of pcDNA3.1-prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 and downregulated by the infection with pcMV-sh prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1. Additionally, cell proliferation and apoptosis were measured by the cell counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Cell invasion was determined by a Transwell assay.ResultsProstrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 expression was upregulated in bladder cancer tissues compared to adjacent nontumor tissues. Furthermore, prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 levels were successfully upregulated by pcDNA3.1-prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 and depleted by pCMV-sh prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 in bladder cancer cell lines (5637, T24). Enhanced prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 expression promoted cell proliferation and invasion and inhibited cell apoptosis. However, knockdown of prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 expression inhibited cell proliferation and invasion and induced cell apoptosis.ConclusionIn summary, these data suggest that the knockdown of prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 represents a tumor suppressor player in bladder cancer and contributes to the inhibition of tumor proliferation, the promotion of cell apoptosis, and the suppression of cell invasion. Prostrate androgen-regulated transcript-1 may function as a new prognostic biomarker and as a feasible therapeutic target for patients with bladder cancer.

Project description:Recent evidence has proven that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in cancer biology, while few lncRNAs have been characterized in NSCLC. Here, we characterized a novel lncRNA, SBF2 antisense RNA 1 (SBF2-AS1), in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Quantitative real-time PCR was used to quantify SBF2-AS1 expression in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. The correlation of SBF2-AS1 expression with clinicopathologic features was analyzed in a cohort NSCLC patient. Loss of function and gain of function studies were performed to determine the effects of SBF2-AS1 on proliferation and metastasis of NSCLC cells. RNA immunoprecipitation and chromosome immunoprecipitation assay was performed to confirm the interaction between SBF2-AS1 with protein and chromosome.We confirmed that SBF2-AS1 was significantly upregulated in NSCLC compared with corresponding non-tumor tissues, and a high expression level of SBF2-AS1 was correlated with lymph node metastasis and advanced TNM stage. Using siRNAs specifically targeting SBF2-AS1 and plasmid vector, we successfully silenced and overexpressed SBF2-AS1 in NSCCLC cell lines and investigated its biological function both in vitro and in vivo. After the silencing of SBF2-AS1, the metastasis of NSCLC cells was significantly inhibited, the silencing of SBF2-AS1 decreased the proliferation of NSCLC cells, and the cell cycle was arrested at the G1 phase; while overexpression promoted proliferation ability. Xenograft tumor models revealed that the silencing of SBF2-AS1 inhibited tumor growth in vivo. We speculated that SBF2-AS1 might negatively regulate P21. RNA immunoprecipitation discovered that SBF2-AS2 could bind with a core component of polycomb repressive complex2, SUZ12. Additionally chromatin immunoprecipitation assay demonstrated that, after silencing SBF2-AS1, the enrichment of SUZ12 and trimethylation of histone 3 lysine 27 decreased at the promoter region of P21.We demonstrated that SBF2-AS1 is upregulated in NSCLC and promotes proliferation of NSCLC tumor cells. SBF2-AS1 may serve as a novel biomarker and potential therapeutic target for NSCLC patients.
