Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed single-stranded RNA molecules. After derived from precursor mRNA back-splicing, circRNAs play important roles in many biological processes. Recently, it was shown that several circRNAs were enriched in the mammalian brain with unclear functions. The expression of circRtn4 in the mouse brain was increased with the differentiation of primary neurons. In our study, knockdown of circRtn4 inhibited neurite growth, while overexpression of circRtn4 significantly increased neurite length. By dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA antisense purification assay, circRtn4 was identified as a miRNA sponge for miR-24-3p. Moreover, knockdown of miR-24-3p increased neurite length, while overexpression of miR-24-3p significantly inhibited neurite growth. Furthermore, CHD5 was confirmed to be a downstream target gene of miR-24-3p. And CHD5 silence counteracted the positive effect of circRtn4 overexpression on neurite growth. In conclusion, circRtn4 may act as the sponge for miR-24-3p to promote neurite growth by regulating CHD5.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a subclass of noncoding RNAs, are reportedly involved in the progression of various diseases. However, the exact role of circRIMS1, also termed hsa_circ_0132246, in human bladder cancer remains unknown. By performing RNA sequencing comparing bladder cell lines and normal uroepithelial cells, circRIMS1 was selected as a research object. We further verified by qRT-PCR that circRIMS1 is upregulated in both bladder cancer tissue and cell lines. Proliferation, colony-formation, Transwell migration, invasion, apoptosis, western blotting, and in vivo experiments were utilized to clarify the roles of circRIMS1, microRNA (miR)-433-3p, and cell cycle and apoptosis regulator 1 (CCAR1). For mechanistic investigation, RNA pulldown, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and luciferase reporter assay confirmed the binding of circRIMS1 with miR-433-3p. Inhibition of circRIMS1 suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of bladder cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the circRIMS1/miR-433-3p/CCAR1 regulatory axis was confirmed to be responsible for the biological functions of circRIMS1. Taken together, our research demonstrated that circRIMS1 promotes tumor growth, migration, and invasion through the miR-433-3p/CCAR1 regulatory axis, representing a potential therapeutic target and biomarker in bladder cancer.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are regarded as pivotal regulators in bone metabolism. However, the role of circRNAs in osteoblast mineralization remains largely unknown. Herein, we explored the expression profiles of circRNAs in 4 groups of osteoblasts with varying mineralization processes. Hsa_circ_0008500 (circ8500), which is upregulated in the RNA-seq data, is sifted through 194 candidate circRNAs in osteoblasts during mineralization. We characterize the features of novel circRNAs and find that the elevated expression of circ8500 promotes osteoblast mineralization. Mechanistically, circ8500 contains a critical binding site for miR-1301-3p. We further show that circ8500 competitively binds miR-1301-3p to abolish its suppressive effect on peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PADI4). PADI4 works as a binding partner of RUNX2 and stabilizes its protein expression levels by inhibiting the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. This work provides new insights on the circRNA patterns in osteoblasts and the role of PADI4 in matrix mineralization.

Project description:Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prominent cancer type, with long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) being known to be relevant to its progression. We therefore investigated how a particular lncRNA known as the metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) was associated with HCC. Methods: Quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qPCR) was used to assess expression of MALAT1, Forkhead Box M1 (FOXM1) and miR-125a-3p in HCC tissue samples. How MALAT1 regulates HCC proliferation and metastasis was assessed through appropriate assays. FOXM1 was identified as a miR-125a-3p target using luciferase assays, and how MALAT1/miR-125a-3p alter FOXM1 expression was explored via qPCR and Western blotting. Results: HCC tissues exhibited MALAT1 upregulation. miR-125a-3p targeted FOXM1 and could be regulated by MALAT1. MALAT1 knockdown disrupted proliferation and invasion, whereas miR-125a-3p knockdown partially reversed this phenotype. Conclusions: These results indicate that MALAT1 modulates FOXM1 expression via being a miR-125a-3p sponge, thus promoting HCC progression.

Inhibition of circRIMS1 suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, while overexpression of circRIMS1 exerted the opposite effects. Moreover, the circRIMS1/miR-433-3p/CCAR1 regulatory axis was confirmed to be responsible for the biological functions of circRIMS1. Conclusions: CircRIMS1 acts as a tumor promoter in bladder cancer to enhance tumor growth, migration and invasion via the miR-433-3p/CCAR1 regulatory axis, which provides a new therapeutic target and a novel biomarker in bladder cancer.

Project description:ObjectivesThe role of lncRNAs in gallbladder cancer (GBC) remains poorly understood. In this study, we explored the function of functional intergenic repeating RNA element (FIRRE) in GBC.Materials and methodsWhole transcriptome resequencing was performed in three pairs of GBC tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues. lncRNA FIRRE expression was verified by real-time PCR. The function of FIRRE in GBC was evaluated by experiments in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism of FIRRE was investigated via fluorescent in situ hybridization, RNA pull-down, dual luciferase reporter assays, and RNA immunoprecipitation.ResultsFIRRE level was dramatically increased in GBC tissues compared to that in the adjacent non-tumor tissues. High expression of FIRRE was closely related to clinical stage and poor prognosis in GBC patients. Moreover, FIRRE remarkably enhanced proliferation and migration, and inhibited apoptosis of GBC cells. Mechanistically, FIRRE modulated YOD1 expression by sponging miR-520a-3p, thus contributing to the development of GBC.ConclusionOur data revealed that FIRRE might act as a novel mediator in GBC progression by sponging miR-520a-3p and regulating YOD1. FIRRE might be regarded as a potential diagnostic marker or target for GBC treatment.

Project description:BACKGROUND:As a novel type of noncoding RNAs, covalently closed circular RNAs (circRNAs) are ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotes. Emerging studies have related dysregulation of circRNAs to tumorigenesis. However, the biogenesis, regulation, function and mechanism of circRNAs in gastric cancer (GC) remain largely unclear. METHODS:The expression profile of circRNAs in 6 pairs of GC tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues was analyzed by RNA-sequencing. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to determine the expression level of circCCDC9 in GC tissues and cell lines. Then, functional experiments in vitro and in vivo were employed to explore the effects of circCCDC9 on tumor growth and metastasis in GC. Mechanistically, dual luciferase reporter, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull-down assays were performed to confirm that circCCDC9 directly sponged miR-6792-3p and alleviated suppression on target CAV1 expression. RESULTS:Evidently down-regulated expression of circCCDC9 was observed in both GC tissues and cell lines. Expression of circCCDC9 was negatively correlated with tumor size, lymph node invasion, advanced clinical stage and overall survival in GC patients. Functionally, overexpression of circCCDC9 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of GC cell lines in vitro and tumor growth and metastasis in vivo, whereas miR-6792-3p mimics counteracted these effects. Mechanistic analysis demonstrated that circCCDC9 acted as a "ceRNA" of miR-6792-3p to relieve the repressive effect of miR-6792-3p on its target CAV1, then suppressed the tumorigenesis of GC. CONCLUSIONS:CircCCDC9 functions as a tumor suppressor in inhibiting the progression of GC through miR-6792-3p/CAV1 axis, which has provided an exploitable biomarker and therapeutic target for patients with GC.
