Project description:Background:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a very belligerent primary liver tumor with high metastatic potential. Aberrant expression of lncRNAs drives tumorous invasion and metastasis. Whether lncRNAs engage mechanisms of liver cancer metastasis remains largely unexplored. Patients and Methods:We collected HCC tissues from the tumors and their adjacent normal samples in the Chinese population and analyzed the levels of lncRNAs by microarray analysis. The gain- and loss-of-function analysis demonstrated that PCBP1-AS1 accelerated tumorous growth and metastasis in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, we used RNA-pulldown assay to show that PCBP1-AS1 physically interacted with polyC-RNA-binding protein 1 (PCBP1); meanwhile, PCBP1-AS1 was indeed detected in RIP with the PCBP1 antibody. Mechanistically, we first explored the relationship between PCBP1-AS1 and PCBP1 in HCC cell lines. Results:Here we show that PCBP1-AS1, identified by microarray analysis on pre- and post-operative HCC plasma specimens, was highly expressed in human HCC, clinically verified as a prometastatic factor and markedly associated with poor prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. PCBP1-AS1 was negatively related with PCBP1 at the messenger RNA and protein expression levels. PCBP1-AS1 triggered PRL-3 and AKT in HCC tumor cells. Additionally, the double knockout of PCBP1 and PCBP1-AS1 abolished the PCBP1-AS1-induced PRL-3-AKT signalling pathway activation. Conclusion:The upregulation of PCBP1-AS1 enhances proliferation and metastasis in HCC, thus regulating the PCBP1-PRL-3-AKT signalling pathway.

Project description:Alterations in endometrial DNA methylation profile have been proposed as one potential mechanism initiating the development of endometriosis. However, the normal endometrial methylome is influenced by the cyclic hormonal changes and the menstrual cycle phase-dependent epigenetic signature should be considered when studying endometrial disorders. So far, no studies have been performed to evaluate the menstrual cycle influences and endometriosis-specific endometrial methylation pattern at the same time. Therefore, we used Infinium HumanMethylation 450K BeadChip arrays to explore DNA methylation profiles of endometrial tissues from various menstrual cycle phases. Infinium HumanMethylation 450K BeadChip arrays were used to explore DNA methylation profiles of endometrial tissues from mid secretory cycle phase from 17 patients without endometriosis

Project description:Repair after damage is essential for tissue homeostasis. Post-menstrual repair of the uterine endometrium is a unique cyclical manifestation of rapid, scar-free, tissue repair taking ~3-5 days. Skin repair post-wounding is slower (~2 weeks) and, in the case of chronic wounds, takes months/years to restore integrity. Herein, the unique ‘rapid-repair’ endometrial environment is translated to the ‘slower-repair’ skin environment. Menstrual fluid (MF), the milieu of post-menstrual endometrial repair, facilitates healing of endometrial and keratinocyte ‘wounds’ in vitro, promoting cellular adhesion and migration, stimulates keratinocyte migration in an ex vivo human skin-reconstruct model and promotes re-epithelialization in an in vivo porcine wound model. Proteomic analysis of MF identified a large number of proteins; several proteins were selected for further investigation, with the endometrium demonstrated as the source of these factors. Functionally, they promote repair of endometrial and keratinocyte wounds by promoting migration, differing significantly from currently available wound-repair treatments, which mainly promote proliferation. Development of these and other menstrual fluid factors into a ‘migration-inducing’ treatment paradigm will provide novel therapies for tissue repair.

Project description:The gut-uterus axis plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of endometrial cancer (EC). However, the correlations between the endometrial microbiome and endometrial tumor transcriptome in patients with EC and the impact of the endometrial microbiota on hematological indicators have not been thoroughly clarified. In this prospective study, endometrial tissue samples collected from EC patients (n = 30) and healthy volunteers (n = 10) were subjected to 16S rRNA sequencing of the microbiome. The 30 paired tumor and adjacent nontumor endometrial tissues from the EC group were subjected to RNAseq. Result: We found that Pelomonas and Prevotella were enriched in the EC group with a high tumor burden. Further transcriptome analysis identified 8 robust associations between Prevotella and fibrin degradation-related genes expressed within ECs. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the increasing abundance of Prevotella in endometrial tissue combined with high serum DD and FDP contents may be important factors associated with tumor burden.

Project description:Chronic hepatitis B virus infection is a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV infection affects lncRNA expression in infected cells, but the detailed mechanism and biological significance are not yet clear. In this study, we focused on exploring the function of the HBV-upregulated lncRNA SAMD12-AS1 in cell proliferation. We found that there is a higher level of SAMD12-AS1 expression in tumors than in adjacent nontumorous liver tissues. We showed that ectopic expression of SAMD12-AS1 promotes cell growth and blocks apoptosis, while knockdown of SAMD12-AS1 inhibits cell proliferation and enhances etoposide-induced apoptosis. Using RNA immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry, we determined that SAMD12-AS1 interacts with NPM1 and confirmed that SAMD12-AS1(1-350) is required for the interaction with NPM1. As it is known that NPM1 interacts with the E3 ligase HDM2 and reduces HDM2-mediated p53 degradation, we examined whether SAMD12-AS1 can affect p53 stability. Overexpression of SAMD12-AS1 caused a reduction in p53 protein levels by shortening its half-life. Conversely, knockdown of SAMD12-AS1 prolonged the half-life of p53. We further demonstrated that SAMD12-AS1 increased the interaction of HDM2 and p53 and enhanced p53 ubiquitination. Our findings reveal that HBV-upregulated SAMD12-AS1 regulates cell proliferation and apoptosis via the NPM1-HDM2-p53 axis.

Project description:AimsLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as crucial regulators in osteoporosis (OP). Nonetheless, the effects and potential molecular mechanism of lncRNA PCBP1 Antisense RNA 1 (PCBP1-AS1) on OP remain largely unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the role of lncRNA PCBP1-AS1 in the pathogenesis of OP.MethodsUsing quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), osteogenesis-related genes (alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2)), PCBP1-AS1, microRNA (miR)-126-5p, group I Pak family member p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2), and their relative expression levels were determined. Western blotting was used to examine the expression of PAK2 protein. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to measure cell proliferation. To examine the osteogenic differentiation, Alizarin red along with ALP staining was used. RNA immunoprecipitation assay and bioinformatics analysis, as well as a dual-luciferase reporter, were used to study the association between PCBP1-AS1, PAK2, and miR-126-5p.ResultsThe expression of PCBP1-AS1 was pre-eminent in OP tissues and decreased throughout the development of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) into osteoblasts. PCBP1-AS1 knockdown and overexpression respectively promoted and suppressed hBMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation capacity. Mechanistically, PCBP1-AS1 sponged miR-126-5p and consequently targeted PAK2. Inhibiting miR-126-5p significantly counteracted the beneficial effects of PCBP1-AS1 or PAK2 knockdown on hBMSCs' ability to differentiate into osteoblasts.ConclusionPCBP1-AS1 is responsible for the development of OP and promotes its progression by inducing PAK2 expression via competitively binding to miR-126-5p. PCBP1-AS1 may therefore be a new therapeutic target for OP patients.
