MiR-21 Promotes Glioma Invasion by Targeting MMP Regulators.

ABSTRACT: Substantial data indicate that microRNA-21 (miR-21) is significantly elevated in glioblastoma (GBM) and in many other tumors of various origins. This miRNA has been implicated in various aspects of carcinogenesis, including cellular proliferation, apoptosis and migration. We demonstrate that miR-21 regulates multiple genes associated with glioma cell apoptosis, migration, and invasiveness, including RECK and TIMP3, suppressors of malignancy and inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Specific inhibition of miR-21 with antisense olgonucleotides leads to elevated levels of RECK and TIMP3 and therefore reduces MMP activities in vitro and in a human model of glioma in nude mice. Moreover, down-regulation of miR-21 in glioma cells leads to decrease of their migratory and invasion abilities. Our data suggest that miR-21 contributes to the glioma malignancy by down-regulation of MMP inhibitors that leads to activation of MMPs thus promoting invasiveness of cancer cells. Our results also indicate that inhibition of a single oncomir like miR-21 with specific antisense molecules can provide a novel therapeutic approach for “physiological” modulation of multiple proteins whose expression is de-regulated in cancer.

miRNA-seq in human lung cancer tissues

Project description:we conducted transcriptome and small RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs), miRNAs (DEMs), and lncRNAs (DELs). Function analysis on DEM-target genes can explain the regulatory roles of miRNAs in LC. The lncRNA-miRNA pairs, miRNA-mRNA pairs, and lncRNA-mRNA pairs were identified, which were then combined to construct the interplay of lncRNAs/miRNAs/mRNAs. And we used the online databases to verify the selected DEMs, DELs, and DEGs. Our study identified 2509 DEGs, 34 DEMs, and 432 DELs in LC patients. miRNA-mRNA pairs, including 1 miRNA (hsa-miR-21-5p) and 5 targeted genes (RECK, TIMP3, EHD1, RASGRP1 and ERG), were figured out. We finally found the hub subnetwork (LINC00632/has-miR-21-5p/TIMP3) by combining lncRNA-miRNA pairs, miRNA-mRNA pairs and lncRNA-mRNA pairs.

miRNA profiling in MMP-8 overexpressing MDA-MB-231 cells

Project description:Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been traditionally implicated in cancer progression because of their ability to degrade the extracellular matrix. However, some members of the MMP family have recently been identified as proteases with antitumor properties. Thus, it has been described that collagenase-2 (MMP-8) has a protective role in tumor and metastasis progression, but the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects are unknown. We show herein that Mmp8 expression causes a decrease in miR-21 levels that in turn leads to a reduction in tumor growth and lung metastasis formation by MDA-MB-231 (4175) breast cancer cells. By using both in vitro and in vivo models, we demonstrate that the mechanism responsible for these MMP-8 beneficial effects involves cleavage of decorin by MMP-8 and a subsequent reduction of transforming growth factor ? (TGF-?) signaling that controls miR-21 levels. In addition, miR-21 downregulation induced by MMP-8 increases the levels of tumor suppressors such as programmed cell death 4, which may also contribute to the decrease in tumor formation and metastasis of breast cancer cells overexpressing this metalloproteinase. These findings reveal a new signaling pathway for cancer regulation controlled by MMP-8, and contribute to clarify the molecular mechanisms by which tumor-defying proteases may exert their protective function in cancer and metastasis.

TIMP2 and TIMP3 have divergent roles in early renal tubulointerstitial injury

Project description:Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP) are endogenous inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). While TIMP2 and TIMP3 inhibit MMPs, TIMP3 also inhibits activation of pro-MMP2 whereas TIMP2 promotes it. Here we assessed the differential role of TIMP2 and TIMP3 in renal injury using the unilateral ureteral obstruction model. Gene microarray assay showed that post-obstruction, the lack of TIMP3 had a greater impact on gene expression of intermediate, late injury- and repair-induced transcripts, kidney selective transcripts and solute carriers. Renal injury in TIMP3-/-, but not in TIMP2-/- mice increased expression of collagen type I/III, connective tissue growth factor, transforming growth factor-Î² and the downstream Smad2/3 pathway. Interestingly, ureteral obstruction markedly increased MMP2 activation in the kidneys of TIMP3-/- mice which was completely blocked in the kidneys of TIMP2-/- mice. These changes are consistent with enhanced renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis in TIMP3-/- and its reduction in TIMP2-/- mice. The activity of tumor necrosis factor-Î± converting enzyme, caspase-3 and mitogen activated kinases were elevated in the kidneys of TIMP3-/- but not TIMP2-/- mice, suggesting enhanced activation of apoptotic and pathological signaling pathways only in the obstructed kidney of TIMP3-/- mice. Thus, TIMP2 and TIMP3 play differential and contrasting roles in renal injury, TIMP3 protects from damage whereas TIMP2 promotes injury through MMP2 activation.

Interestingly, ureteral obstruction markedly increased MMP2 activation in the kidneys of TIMP3-/- mice which was completely blocked in the kidneys of TIMP2-/- mice. These changes are consistent with enhanced renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis in TIMP3-/- and its reduction in TIMP2-/- mice. The activity of tumor necrosis factor-α converting enzyme, caspase-3 and mitogen activated kinases were elevated in the kidneys of TIMP3-/- but not TIMP2-/- mice, suggesting enhanced activation of apoptotic and pathological signaling pathways only in the obstructed kidney of TIMP3-/- mice. Thus, TIMP2 and TIMP3 play differential and contrasting roles in renal injury, TIMP3 protects from damage whereas TIMP2 promotes injury through MMP2 activation.

Expression data from RECK-overexpressing HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells

Project description:RECK, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein, inhibits the enzymatic activities of some matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), thereby suppressing tumor cell metastasis; however, the detailed mechanism is still obscure. In this study, we compared the gene expression profiles between mock- and RECK-transfected HT1080 cells. Three established cell lines were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays: (1) mock-transfected HT1080 cells, designated as HT1080-Zeo, (2) RECK-overexpressing HT1080 cells, designated as HT1080-RECK, and (3) RECK/4NQ-overexpressing HT1080 cells (in which four N-glycosylation asparagine residues of RECK (Asn86, Asn200, Asn297, and Asn352) were replaced with glutamine residues), designated as HT1080-RECK/4NQ.

CDK8 Mediator kinase drives colon cancer hepatic metastasis by regulating gene expression of the matrix metalloproteinase network [Affymetrix]

Project description:CDK8 Mediator kinase is amplified and overexpressed in colon cancers; elevated CDK8 expression is associated with shorter patient survival. Nevertheless, CDK8 kinase inhibitors do not generally suppress colon cancer growth. We addressed this paradox by investigating the effects of CDK8 knockdown or a CDK8 kinase inhibitor on tumor growth at primary and metastatic sites. CDK8 knockdown or inhibition had no significant effect on primary tumors but suppressed the growth of hepatic metastases in murine and human colon cancer models. The effect of CDK8 inhibition on liver metastasis is mediated by upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor TIMP3 and downregulation of several MMPs.
