Long non-coding RNA Myd88 promotes growth and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma via regulating Myd88 expression through H3K27 modification.

ABSTRACT: Enhanced Myd88 expression has been found in various parenchymal tumors especially in hepatocellular carcinoma with little mechanism of its upregulation known. A lot of long non-coding RNAs are reported to regulate the protein-coding genes which have location association through various mechanisms. In our study we confirmed a new long non-coding RNA Myd88 aberrant upregulated in HCC located upstream of Myd88 and verified a positive regulation relationship between them indicating that Lnc-Myd88 might participate in the enhanced expression of Myd88 in HCC. The gain- and loss-of-function analysis revealed that Lnc-Myd88 could promote the proliferation and metastasis of HCC both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, ChIP assays demonstrated that Lnc-Myd88 might increase Myd88 expression through enhancing H3K27Ac in the promoter of Myd88 gene, thus resulting in the activation of both NF-?B and PI3K/AKT signal pathways. In conclusion, we proposed that Lnc-Myd88 might serve as a novel diagnosis and therapeutic target for HCC.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide with a low 5-year survival rate. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) double homeobox A pseudogene 8 (DUXAP8) is an oncogene and a potential biomarker in various tumors, such as ovarian, colorectal and non-small-cell lung cancer. However, the function and molecular mechanism underlying DUXAP8 in HCC progression is not completely understood. The expression of DUXAP8, microRNA (miR)-9-3p and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) in HCC tissues and cells was detected via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The expression levels of IGF1R and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-associated proteins (Snail, Slug, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin) were assessed via western blotting. The effects of DUXAP8, miR-9-3p and IGF1R on proliferation, migration and invasion were examined by conducting Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell assays, respectively. The interaction between miR-9-3p and DUXAP8 or IGF1R was predicted using StarBase or TargetScan, and further assessed using dual luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. DUXAP8 and IGF1R were upregulated and miR-9-3p was downregulated in HCC tissues and cells compared with adjacent healthy tissues and a normal liver cell line, respectively. miR-9-3p overexpression decreased the protein expression level of IGF1R, and miR-9-3p knockdown enhanced the protein expression level of IGF1R in HCC cells compared with the corresponding control groups. Moreover, compared with the corresponding control groups, DUXAP8 knockdown and miR-9-3p overexpression increased E-cadherin protein expression levels, and decreased Snail, Slug, N-cadherin and vimentin protein expression levels. However, miR-9-3p inhibitor and IGF1R overexpression reversed DUXAP8 knockdown- and miR-9-3p overexpression-induced effects, respectively. In addition, compared with the corresponding control groups, DUXAP8 knockdown and miR-9-3p overexpression suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion, which was reversed by miR-9-3p inhibitor and IGF1R overexpression, respectively. Moreover, miR-9-3p as the target of DUXAP8 and IGF1R as the target of miR-9-3p were verified in HCC cells. lncRNA DUXAP8 contributed to HCC tumorigenesis via the miR-9-3p/IGF1R axis, providing a novel therapeutic approach for HCC diagnosis and treatment.
