Microarray profiling analysis of lncRNAs expression in glioma cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Tremendous studies have found that the abnormality of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) contributed to cancer initiation, progression, and recurrence via multiple signaling cascades. Nevertheless, the possible underlying mechanisms of lncRNA in temozolomide (TMZ)-resistant glioma were not well understood, hindering the improvement of TMZ-based therapies against glioma. The present study illustrated that the lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 increased in TMZ-resistant gliomas cells compared to the parental cells. Introduction of KCNQ1OT1 boosted glioma cell viability, clonogenicity and rhodamine 123 efflux while hampered apoptosis post-exposure to TMZ. Consistent with bioinformatic prediction, KCNQ1OT1 directly sponged miR-761, which was downregulated in TMZ-resistant glioma cell lines. Overexpression of miR-761 attenuated glioma cell viability and clonogenicity while triggered apoptosis and rhodamine 123 cellular accumulation post-exposure to TMZ, leading to rehabilitated glioma TMZ-sensitivity, which was against the function of KCNQ1OT1. miR-761 bound to 3’-untranslated region of PIM1, a proto-oncogene with constitutive serine/threonine kinase activity, attenuated PIM1-mediated signaling cascades. Furthermore, stable knockdown of KCNQ1OT1 by small hairpin RNA amplified the TMZ-induced tumor regression in TMZ-resistant U251 mouse models. Briefly, the present study evaluated KCNQ1OT1 conferred TMZ resistance by sponging miR-761 and releasing PIM1 expression, resulting in activation of PIM-mediated MDR1/c-Myc/Survivin signaling pathways. The findings mentioned above extended the knowledge of lnRNA KCNQ1OT1 in the regulation of chemoresistance in glioma and provided a promising therapeutic target for TMZ-resistant glioma patients.
