Project description:Deregulation of microRNAs (miRs) contributes to progression and metastasis of prostate and other cancers. miR-23b and -27b, encoded in the same miR cluster (miR-23b/-27b), are downregulated in human metastatic prostate cancer compared with primary tumors and benign tissue. Expression of miR-23b/-27b decreases prostate cancer cell migration, invasion and results in anoikis resistance. Conversely, antagomiR-mediated miR-23b and -27b silencing produces the opposite result in a more indolent prostate cancer cell line. However, neither miR-23b/-27b expression or inhibition impacts prostate cancer cell proliferation suggesting that miR-23b/-27b selectively suppresses metastasis. To examine the effects of miR-23b/-27b on prostate cancer metastasis in vivo, orthotopic prostate xenografts were established using aggressive prostate cancer cells transduced with miR-23b/-27b or non-targeting control miRNA. Although primary tumor formation was similar between miR-23b/-27b-transduced cells and controls, miR-23b/-27b expression in prostate cancer cells decreased seminal vesicle invasion and distant metastases. Gene-expression profiling identified the endocytic adaptor, Huntingtin-interacting protein 1-related (HIP1R) as being downregulated by miR-23b/-27b. Increased HIP1R expression in prostate cancer cells inversely phenocopied the effects of miR-23b/-27b overexpression on migration, invasion and anchorage-independent growth. HIP1R rescued miR-23b/-27b-mediated repression of migration in prostate cancer cells. HIP1R mRNA levels were decreased in seminal vesicle tissue from mice bearing miR-23b/-27b-transduced prostate cancer cell xenografts compared with scrambled controls, suggesting HIP1R is a key functional target of miR-23b/-27b. In addition, depletion of HIP1R led to a more rounded, less mesenchymal-like cell morphology, consistent with decreased metastatic properties. Together, these data demonstrate that the miR-23b/-27b cluster functions as a metastasis-suppressor by decreasing HIP1R levels in pre-clinical models of prostate cancer.

Project description:Overexpression of A-kinase-interacting protein 1 (AKIP1) has been reported in prostate and breast cancers. Nevertheless, the clinical potential of AKIP1 during the development of cervical cancer (CC) remains unclear. A series of experiments involving BdU, colony formation, wound healing and cell invasion assays were performed to determine cell proliferation, migration and invasion, respectively. Gene expression changes were validated by qRT-PCR, Western blotting and immunocytochemistry. We found that AKIP1 expression is increased in CC cell lines and tissue specimens from CC patients. The elevated AKIP1 expression in primary tumours was related to lymph node metastasis in CC patients. In addition, we observed that overexpression of AKIP1 promotes CC cell proliferation. Enhanced expression of AKIP1 facilitated the migration and invasion of CC cells by inducing NF-κB-dependent epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, mechanistic investigations revealed that AKIP1 induced nuclear translocation and phosphorylation of the p65 NF-κB subunit through the PI3K/Akt/IKKβ pathway. Conversely, enhanced expression of phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) inhibited this signalling pathway and restored an epithelial phenotype to CC cells in the presence of overexpressed AKIP1. Our results indicate that AKIP1 promotes the EMT and metastasis in CC by activating NF-κB signalling through the PI3K/Akt/IKKβ pathway, suggesting that AKIP1 could be a pivotal regulator of an EMT axis in CC. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: AKIP1 expression in the samples of CC patients and in in vitro tumour cell lines provides evidence that expression of AKIP1 in CC contributes to cancer progression. Our findings indicate that AKIP1 promotes the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis in CC by activating NF-κB signalling through the PI3K/Akt/IKKβ pathway, suggesting that AKIP1 is a pivotal regulator of an EMT axis in CC. AKIP1 could be implicated as a potential therapeutic target as well as a valuable biomarker for evaluating prognosis for patients with CC.
