NACER, a liver-specific lncRNA, functions as Nrf2-activating competing endogenous RNA for Plk2 and p21cip1

ABSTRACT: LncRNA for anti-oxidative capacity control has not been discovered yet. Nrf2 is a central molecule for cellular defense by increasing anti-oxidative capacity. Here, we identified a novel lncRNA named ‘NACER’ (Nrf2 Activating Competing Endogenous RNA) transcribed from an upstream region of MIR122. NACER existed in the cytoplasm, suggestive of its function as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA, miRNA sponge). NACER served as ceRNA for Plk2 and p21cip1 through binding for miR-128/224, inducing Plk2/Nrf2/p21cip1 complexation for Nrf2 activation in cells under p53-activating conditions (i.e., DNA damage and serum deprivation). NACER expression was suppressed when apoptosis was initiated, being a rheostat for cell fate determination. NACER levels correlated with the recurrence free survival rate of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after surgery. Collectively, NACER promotes Plk2 and p21cip1 translation by competing for specific miRNAs, activating Nrf2 under the surviving condition from oxidative stress, implying that NACER plays a fine-tuning rheostat for cell fate decision.

Project description:Identify gene expression changes in the absence of Plk2 Disruptions in polarity and mitotic spindle orientation contribute to the progression and evolution of tumorigenesis. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating these processes in vivo. Here we demonstrate that Polo-like kinase 2 (Plk2) regulates mitotic spindle orientation in the mammary gland and is a putative tumor suppressor. Plk2 is highly expressed in the mammary gland and is required for proper mammary gland development. Loss of Plk2 leads to increased mammary epithelial cell proliferation and ductal hyperbranching. Additionally a novel role for Plk2 in regulating the orientation of the mitotic spindle and maintaining proper cell polarity in the ductal epithelium was discovered. In support of a tumor suppressor function for Plk2, loss of Plk2 increased the formation of lesions in multiparous glands. Collectively, these results demonstrate a novel role for Plk2 in regulating mammary gland development and as a tumor suppressor in mammary tumorigenesis.
