MiR-211 facilitates platinum chemosensitivity by blocking the DNA damage response (DDR) in ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: The DNA damage response (DDR) is one of the most important mechanisms of platinum resistance in ovarian cancer. Some miRNAs have been identified to be involved in the regulatory network of DDR, thus the abnormal expression of miRNAs might affect platinum chemosensitivity in ovarian cancer. In this study, by assessing miRNAs simultaneously targeting a set of DDR genes that exhibited response to platinum, we found that miR-211 inhibited most of those genes, and proposed that miR-211 might affect the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to platinum by targeting multiple DDR genes and thereby determine the prognosis of ovarian cancer. To verify the hypothesis, we analyzed the association between miR-211 level and clinical prognosis, assessed the effect of miR-211 on DDR and platinum chemosensitivity, and explored the possible molecular mechanism. We revealed that miR-211 enhanced platinum chemosensitivity and was positively correlated with favorable outcomes in ovarian cancer patients. Many DDR genes including TDP1 were identified as targets of miR-211. In contrast, TDP1 suppressed DNA damage and platinum chemosensitivity. Moreover, the miR-211 level in tissues was shown to be associated with the good outcome of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and negatively correlated with the expression of TDP1. Conclusively, we demonstrated that miR-211 improves the prognosis of ovarian cancer patients by enhancing the chemosensitivity of cancer cells to platinum via inhibiting DDR gene expression, which provides an essential basis to identify novel treatment targets to block DDR effectively and improve chemosensitivity in ovarian cancer.

Project description:Ten human ovarian cancer cell lines were kindly provided as follows: an ovarian serous adenocarcinoma cell line, SKOV3 (Dr. N. Nagai, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan); KF28 and its TXL/CDDP-resistant variant (Dr. Y. Kikuchi, National Defense Medical College, Saitama, Japan); KF, SHIN3 and 5 ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma cell lines, KK, TAYA, RMG-1, OVISE and OVTOKO (Dr. M. Suzuki, Jichi Medical School, Tochigi, Japan). All cell lines were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Life Technologies, Inc., Grand Island, NY) containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS; BioWhittaker, Verviers, Belgium) in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 and maintained in continuous exponential growth by passage every 3 days. Exponentially growing cultured cells were collected after two-washings with PBS. The cell pellets were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored until use. Total RNA was extracted using QIAGEN RNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN, Inc., Valencia, CA). The quality of the RNA was checked using Agilent Technologies 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Palo Alto, CA). CodeLink Expression Bioarray System (Amersham Bioscience, Tokyo, Japan) was used according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, first-strand cDNA was generated from 1 microgram of total RNA of each cell line using reverse transcriptase and a T7 primer, and then second-strand cDNA was produced using DNA polymerase mix and RNase H. Complementary RNA (cRNA) was generated via an in vitro transcription reaction using T7 RNA polymerase and biotin-11-UTP (Perkin Elmer, Boston, MA), which was quantified by spectrometry and checked using Agilent Technologies 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent). Ten-microgram of cRNA was then fragmented and hybridized to a Uniset Human 20K I Bioarray containing 19,881 probes with positive and negative bacterial control probes. After hybridization, the arrays were rinsed and labeled with Streptavidin-Cy5, scanned using Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner (Agilent), then analyzed with CodeLink Expression Analysis Software ver.2.3. Expression levels were normalized to the median expression value of the whole array spots. Keywords: parallel sample
