| PRJNA790453 | ENA
Project description:Purpose:Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death, with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) representing the most common subtype. Recently, exosome-based biomarkers have provided new diagnostic approaches for malignancies. We aimed to identify specific exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) as noninvasive biomarkers for LUAD. Patients and Methods:A total of 110 participants were enrolled and randomly divided into two sets: the discovery set (n=20) and the validation set (n=90). Exosomes were isolated from serum, and miRNAs were subsequently extracted. Candidate miRNAs (miR-21, miR-221-3p, miR-222-3p, miR-223, miR-638 and miR-1290) were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in the discovery set. The upregulated miR-1290 was then selected for further analysis in the validation set along with three tumor markers (CEA, CYFRA21-1 and NSE). The diagnostic and prognostic value of exosomal miR-1290 were estimated through receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) and survival analysis. Results:Serum exosomal miR-1290 was significantly upregulated in LUAD patients compared to healthy controls (P<0.001) and decreased after resection (P=0.0029). Its expression level was associated with tumor stage, tumor size, lymph node and distant metastasis (all P <0.05). Exosomal miR-1290 had a higher diagnostic efficacy than CEA, CYFRA21-1 and NSE, with a sensitivity of 80.0% and specificity of 96.7% (AUC: 0.937, 95% CI: 0.890-0.985; P<0.001). Moreover, LUAD patients with a high level of exosomal miR-1290 had significantly poorer progression-free survival (PFS) than those with a low level of exosomal miR-1290 (mean PFS: 14 months vs 37 months, P<0.001). Cox proportional hazards model analysis demonstrated that exosomal miR-1290 could be an independent risk factor for the prognosis of LUAD (HR=7.80, P=0.017). Conclusion:Serum exosomal miR-1290 could be a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for LUAD.

Project description:BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a highly malignant tumor with a very low five-year survival rate. In this study, we aimed to identify differentially expressed long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) and mRNAs from benign and malignant pleural effusion exosomes.MethodsWe used gene microassay and quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to detect and verify differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs in benign and malignant pleural effusion exosomes. Gene Ontology (GO) functional significance and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway significance enrichment analyses were performed to identify the difference in biological processes and functions between different mRNAs. We selected the lncRNA ZBED5-AS1 with an upregulated differential fold of 3.003 and conducted a preliminary study on its cellular function.ResultsGene microassay results revealed that 177 differentially expressed lncRNAs were upregulated, and 215 were downregulated. The top 10 upregulated were FMN1, AL118505.1, LINC00452, AL109811.2, CATG00000040683.1, AC137932.1, AC008619.1, AL450344.1, AC092718.6, and ZBED5-AS1. The top 10 downregulated were TEX41, G067726, JAZF1-AS1, AC027328.1, AL445645.1, AL022345.4, AC008572.1, AC123777.1, AC093714.1, and PHKG1. For the mRNAs, 79 were upregulated, and 123 were notably downregulated. GO analysis revealed that the upregulated differential mRNAs were mainly involved in "cellular response to acidic pH" (biological processes), "endoplasmic reticulum part" (cellular components), and "at DNA binding, cyclase activity" (molecular functions). KEGG pathways were found to be related to V. cholerae infection, Parkinson's disease, and cell adhesion molecules. RT-qPCR showed that ZBED5-AS1 was highly expressed in LUAD tissues, cells, and benign and malignant pleural fluid exosomes. Overexpression of ZBED5-AS1 could significantly promote the proliferation, migration, invasion, and colony formation of LUAD cells, and knockdown had the opposite consequence.ConclusionThe pleural effusion exosomes from patients with LUAD include several improperly expressed genes, and lncRNA-ZBED5-AS1 is a new biomarker that aids in our understanding of the occurrence and progression of LUAD.

Project description:BackgroundAmong the most aggressive and rapidly lethal types of lung cancer, lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type. Exosomes, as a hot area, play an influential role in cancer. By using proteomics analysis, we aimed to identify potential markers of lung adenocarcinoma in serum.MethodsIn our study, we used the ultracentrifugation method to isolate serum exosomes. The Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and bioinformatics analysis were used to identify potential serum exosomal proteins with altered expression among patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma, early lung adenocarcinoma, and healthy controls. A western blot (WB) was performed to confirm the above differential expression levels in a separate serum sample-isolated exosome, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was conducted to detect expression levels of the above differential proteins of serum exosomes in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues. Furthermore, we compared different expression models of the above differential proteins in serum and exosomes.ResultAccording to the ITGAM (Integrin alpha M chain) and CLU (Clusterin) were differentially expressed in serum exosomes among different groups as well as tumor tissues and adjacent tissues. ITGAM was significantly and specifically enriched in exosomes. As compared to serum, CLU did not appear to be significantly enriched in exosomes. ITGAM and CLU were identified as serum exosomal protein markers of lung adenocarcinoma.ConclusionsThis study can provide novel ideas and a research basis for targeting lung adenocarcinoma treatment as a preliminary study.

Project description:An increasing number of studies have reported that exosomes released from various cells can serve as mediators of information exchange between different cells. With further exploration of exosome content, a more accurate molecular mechanism involved in the process of cell-to-cell communication has been revealed; specifically, microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are shuttled by exosomes. In addition, exosomal miRNAs and lncRNAs may play vital roles in the pathogenesis of several respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, and asthma. Consequently, exosomal miRNAs and lncRNAs show promise as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in several lung diseases. This review will summarize recent knowledge about the roles of exosomal miRNAs and lncRNAs in lung diseases, which has shed light on the discovery of novel diagnostic methods and treatments for these disorders. Because there is almost no published literature about exosomal lncRNAs in COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, or tuberculosis, we summarize the roles of exosomal lncRNAs only in lung cancer in the second section. This may inspire some new ideas for researchers who are interested in whether lncRNAs shuttled by exosomes may play roles in other lung diseases.

Project description:Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the leading cause of deaths worldwide, and metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer-related deaths. Driver mutations play important roles in treatment decision making for LUAD patients, while the complicated metastatic progress cannot be explained by genetic aberrations alone. Epigenomic reprogramming is particularly notable as an important signature of the metastasis transition. However, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) hijacked by super-enhancer (SE), vital regulatory elements in epigenome, remain elusive in the progression of metastasis. Methods: SE associated lncRNAs microarray was utilized to identified the dysregulated lncRNAs related to metastasis. ChIP-seq, Hi-C data analysis and luciferase reporter assay were utilized to confirm LINC01977 was hijacked by SE. In vitro and in vivo assays were applied to elucidate effects of LINC01977 on the malignancy of LUAD. Results: In this study, we identified that LINC01977, a cancer-testis lncRNA, was up-regulated in tumor, which was driven by a …kb-long SE upstream of LINC01977 and sensitive to BRD4 inhibitor. LINC01977-antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) dramatically suppresses proliferation and invasion both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, LINC01977 promotes phosphorylation of SMAD3 to facilitate its nuclear retention, and it also act as a scaffold to cooperate the interaction between SMAD3 and CBP/P300, the transcriptional co-activators, to regulate the downstream target gene ZEB1. Interestingly, SMAD3 also positively regulated LINC09177 transcription by binding the promoter and active elements of its SE, which was medicated by canonical TGF-β signaling secreted by M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAM2). We also revealed that the expression of LINC01977 was positively correlated with TAM2 infiltration especially in early stage. Additionally, stage I LUAD patients with high LIN01977 expression predicated a shorter progression-free survival (PFS). Conclusions: LINC01977 promotes the malignant progression of LUAD through facilitating the interaction between SMAD3 and CBP/P300. The upregulation of LINC01977 was medicated by super-enhancer and TAM2 infiltration, dependent on canonical TGF-β signaling. LINC01977 could be a valuable therapeutic target especially for early stage patients.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in pathogenesis of various cancers, including lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). We used cBioPortal to analyze lncRNA alteration frequencies and their ability to predict overall survival (OS) using 504 LUSC and 522 LUAD samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. In LUSC, 624 lncRNAs had alteration rates > 1% and 64 > 10%. In LUAD 625 lncRNAs had alteration rates > 1% and 36 > 10%. Among those, 620 lncRNAs had alteration frequencies > 1% in both LUSC and LUAD, while 22 were LUSC-specific and 23 were LUAD-specific. Twenty lncRNAs had alteration frequencies > 10% in both LUSC and LUAD, while 44 were LUSC-specific and 16 were LUAD specific. Genome ontology and pathway analyses produced similar results for LUSC and LUAD. Two lncRNAs (IGF2BP2-AS1 and DGCR5) correlated with better OS in LUSC, and three (MIR31HG, CDKN2A-AS1 and LINC01600) predicted poor OS in LUAD. Chip-seq and luciferase reporter assays identified potential IGF2BP2-AS1, DGCR5 and LINC01600 promoters and enhancers. This study presented lncRNA landscapes and revealed differentially expressed, highly altered lncRNAs in LUSC and LUAD. LncRNAs that act as oncogenes and lncRNA-regulating transcription factors provide novel targets for anti-lung cancer therapeutics.
