Identification of Minimal p53 Promoter Region Regulated by MALAT1 in Human Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells.

ABSTRACT: The MALAT1 long noncoding RNA is strongly linked to cancer progression. Here we report a MALAT1 function in repressing the promoter of p53 (TP53) tumor suppressor gene. p21 and FAS, well-known p53 targets, were upregulated by MALAT1 knockdown in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells. We found that these upregulations were mediated by transcriptional activation of p53 through MALAT1 depletion. In addition, we identified a minimal MALAT1-responsive region in the P1 promoter of p53 gene. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that MALAT1-depleted cells exhibited G1 cell cycle arrest. These results suggest that MALAT1 affects the expression of p53 target genes through repressing p53 promoter activity, leading to influence the cell cycle progression.

Project description:Background: Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy with poor prognosis. Importin 7 (IPO7) is a soluble nuclear transport factor, which has been linked to the pathogenesis of several human diseases. However, its role and underlying mechanism in pancreatic cancer are still obscure. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were performed to determine IPO7 expression in pancreatic cancer tissues and adjacent tissues. Western blot was used to measure IPO7 expression at the protein level in cell lines. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU), flow cytometry, and Transwell assays were employed to explore the biological functions of IPO7. Subcutaneous xenograft transplanted tumor model and caudal vein injection model in mice were also established to validate the oncogenic role of IPO7. Western blot and qPCR were utilized to detect the regulatory function of IPO7 on p53 and metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), respectively. Interaction between MALAT1 and miR-129-5p and interaction between miR-129-5p and IPO7 were verified by bioinformatics prediction, qPCR, dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and pull-down assay. Results: Upregulation of IPO7 in pancreatic cancer tissues was associated with adverse prognosis of the patients with pancreatic cancer. Knocking down IPO7 remarkably suppressed cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, while it promoted apoptosis. Overexpression of IPO7 facilitated the malignant phenotypes of pancreatic cancer cells. Mechanistically, IPO7 could repress the expression of p53 and induce the expression of MALAT1 but reduce miR-129-5p expression. Furthermore, miR-129-5p was identified as a posttranscriptional regulator for IPO7, and its inhibition led to IPO7 overexpression in pancreatic cancer cells. Conclusion: IPO7 is a novel oncogene for pancreatic cancer, and IPO7/p53/MALAT1/miR-129-5p positive feedback loop facilitates the progression of this deadly disease.

Project description:IntroductionThe regulatory mechanisms of super enhancers (SEs) and ceRNA networks in LUAD progression are not well understood. We aimed to discover the prognostic-related ceRNA network regulated by SEs in metastatic LUAD.MethodsRNA-seq data were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Differentially expressed (DE) RNAs were identified by edgeR. CeRNA network was predicted and visualized using starBase and Cytoscape. H3K27ac ChIP-seq data were derived from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and used for SE identification. Kaplan-Meier curve and multivariate Cox model were applied for prognostic analysis. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were performed for functional analysis. SEs of AC074117.1 were verified by ChIP-qPCR in A549 and H1299 cells. MTT assay was performed to analyze cell proliferation. Luciferase activity assay was carried out to validate the target targeting relationships of ceRNA network.ResultsA total of 2355 DEmRNA, 483 DElncRNA and 155 DEmiRNA were identified between metastatic LUAD and adjacent normal tissues. CeRNA network consisting of 7 DElncRNAs, 18 DEmiRNAs and 15 DEmRNAs was constructed. Among the seven DElncRNAs in ceRNA network, only AC074117.1 was regulated by SEs. SE-regulated prognostic ceRNA sub-network consisting of FKBP3, E2F2, AC074117.1 and hsa-let-7c-5p was screened and verified. The overlapping co-expressed mRNAs of FKBP3, E2F2, AC074117.1 and hsa-let-7c-5p were mainly related to cell division and Fanconi anemia pathway. Genes in the ceRNA sub-network were correlated with DNA mismatch repair markers. Functional experiments proved that AC074117.1 was highly expressed in LUAD cells. AC074117.1 silencing notably inhibited proliferation of A549 and H1299 cells. Luciferase activity assay confirmed the direct relationship in AC074117.1-hsa-let-7c-5p-FKBP3/E2F2 network.ConclusionA novel prognostic ceRNA sub-network regulated by SEs was identified in metastatic LUAD. This study provided potential therapeutic targets and prognostic markers for further study of metastatic LUAD.
