The Inhibition of miR-144-3p on Cell Proliferation and Metastasis by Targeting TOP2A in HCMV-Positive Glioblastoma Cells.

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common type of primary tumor in the central nervous system, is a very aggressive brain tumor with poor prognosis and a high recurrence rate. Increasing evidence suggests that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is related to GBM and leads to GBM cell growth and metastasis. MicroRNAs are important regulators in the growth and metastasis of glioblastoma. This study aimed to demonstrate the role of miR-144-3p in HCMV-positive glioblastoma. We found that, after HCMV infection, the expression of miR-144-3p decreased, whereas the expression of TOP2A increased. Bioinformatics analyses indicated that miR-144-3p directly targets the TOP2A 3'-UTR (Untranslated Region). We discovered that the overexpression of miR-144-3p downregulated the overexpression of TOP2A and inhibited the proliferation, clone formation, and invasion of HCMV-positive glioma in vitro. Taken together, these results show that miR-144-3p inhibited growth and promoted apoptosis in glioma cells by targeting TOP2A.

Project description:ObjectivesCircular RNA (circRNA) is a novel class of RNA, which exhibits powerful biological function in regulating cellular fate of various tumors. Previously, we had demonstrated that over-expression of circRNA circCDYL promoted progression of HER2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer via miR-1275-ULK1/ATG7-autophagic axis. However, the role of circCDYL in HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer, in particular its role in modulating cell proliferation, one of the most important characteristics of cellular fate, is unclear.Materials and methodsqRT-PCR and in situ hybridization analyses were performed to examine the expression of circCDYL and miR-92b-3p in breast cancer tissues or cell lines. The biological function of circCDYL and miR-92b-3p were assessed by plate colony formation and cell viability assays and orthotopic animal models. In mechanistic study, circRNAs pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, dual luciferase report, western blot, immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining assays were performed.ResultsCircCDYL was high-expressed in HER2+ breast cancer tissue, similar with that in HER2- breast cancer tissue. Silencing HER2 gene had no effect on expression of circCDYL in HER2+ breast cancer cells. Over-expression of circCDYL promoted proliferation of HER2+ breast cancer cells but not through miR-1275-ULK1/ATG7-autophagic axis. CircRNA pull down and miRNA deep-sequencing demonstrated the binding of miR-92b-3p and circCDYL. Interestingly, circCDYL did not act as miR-92b-3p sponge, but was degraded in miR-92b-3p-dependent silencing manner. Clinically, expression of circCDYL and miR-92b-3p was associated with clinical outcome of HER2+ breast cancer patients.ConclusionMiR-92b-3p-dependent cleavage of circCDYL was an essential mechanism in regulating cell proliferation of HER2+ breast cancer cells. CircCDYL was proved to be a potential therapeutic target for HER2+ breast cancer, and both circCDYL and miR-92b-3p might be potential biomarkers in predicting clinical outcome of HER2+ breast cancer patients.

Project description:Objective:Mounting research has established the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as oncogenes or anti-oncogenes (tumor suppressors) in the development and progression of several cancers. The purpose of our current study is to delineate the roles and functional mechanisms of miR-331-3p and MLLT10 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumorigenesis. Patients and Methods:Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was employed to measure miR-331-3p expression levels in twenty-six matched tumor tissues and non-cancerous tissues collected from patients suffering from NSCLC, and from six NSCLC cell lines separately: A549, H1650, H292, H1299, H1944 and BEAS-2b. We employed the dual-luciferase activity assay to check whether the putative gene, MLLT10, was a downstream target of miR-331-3p in NSCLC pathogenesis and development. Western blot was conducted to analyze the protein expression levels of MLLT10 (AF10), E-cadherin, Vimentin, and GAPDH. CCK-8 assay, transwell migration assay, and transwell invasion assay were carried out to observe the functions of miR-331-3p and MLLT10 on NSCLC tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, and invasion, respectively. To identify whether the metastasis of NSCLC tumor cells was EMT-mediated, supplementary experiments involving E-cadherin and Vimentin were implemented. Results:miR-331-3p was downregulated in NSCLC, which promoted tumor cell proliferation, whereas the overexpression of miR-331-3p inhibited tumor cell proliferation. Being a direct target of miR-331-3p, MLLT10 was negatively modulated by miR-331-3p, which suppressed tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in NSCLC. However, MLLT10 overexpression alleviated the above inhibitory effects. Furthermore, EMT-mediated metastasis was proved to be present in NSCLC. Conclusion:miR-331-3p played a suppressor role in NSCLC tumor cell proliferation, EMT-mediated metastasis, and invasion by targeting MLLT10. Our findings highlighted that miR-331-3p/MLLT10 axis could be useful as a clinical diagnostic marker and therapeutic target in NSCLC patients.
