Project description:We demonstrate that miR-708 is one of the most highly overexpressed miRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer. High level of miR-708 in tumor is also associated with a reduced overall survival in lung adenocarcinomas from never smokers. Functionally, miR-708 overexpression increases the proliferation, migration, and invasion in cultured cells and down regulates TMEM88, a negative regulator of Wnt signaling. Jointly, our results support an oncogenic role of miR-708 by activating Wnt signaling pathway to promote lung cancer progression. We performed miRNA expression profiling in matched lung adenocarcinoma and uninvolved lung using 47 pairs from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded [FFPE] tissues from never smokers. We performed miRNA expression profiling in matched lung adenocarcinoma and uninvolved lung using 56 pairs of fresh-frozen [FF] samples from never smokers.

Project description:miRNA plays an important role in human disease and cancer. We seek to investigate the expression status, clinical relevance, and functional role of miRNA in non-small cell lung cancer.We conducted miRNA expression profiling in matched lung adenocarcinoma and uninvolved lung using 56 pairs of fresh-frozen (FF) and 47 pairs of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from never smokers. The most differentially expressed miRNA genes were evaluated by Cox analysis and log-rank test. Among the best candidate, miR-708 was further examined for differential expression in two independent cohorts. Functional significance of miR-708 expression in lung cancer was examined by identifying its candidate mRNA target and through manipulating its expression levels in cultured cells.Among the 20 miRNAs most differentially expressed between tested tumor and normal samples, high expression level of miR-708 in the tumors was most strongly associated with an increased risk of death after adjustments for all clinically significant factors including age, sex, and tumor stage (FF cohort: HR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.08-3.35; P = 0.025 and FFPE cohort: HR, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.02-3.63; P = 0.042). The transcript for TMEM88 gene has a miR-708 binding site in its 3' UTR and was significantly reduced in tumors high of miR-708. Forced miR-708 expression reduced TMEM88 transcript levels and increased the rate of cell proliferation, invasion, and migration in culture.miRNA-708 acts as an oncogene contributing to tumor growth and disease progression by directly downregulating TMEM88, a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway in lung cancer.

Project description:The progression of cancer to metastatic disease is a major cause of death. We identified miR-708 being transcriptionally repressed by polycomb repressor complex (PRC2)-induced H3-K27 trimethylation in metastatic breast cancer. miR-708 targets the endoplasmic reticulum protein neuronatin (Nnat) to decrease intracellular calcium (Ca2+) level, resulting in reduction of activation of ERK and FAK, decreased cell migration, and impaired metastases. Functional complementation experiments with Nnat-3’UTR mutant, which is refractory to suppression by miR-708, rescued cell migration and metastasis defects. In breast cancer patients, miR-708 expression was decreased in lymph node and distal metastases, suggesting a metastasis-suppressive role. Our findings uncover a mechanistic role for miR-708 in metastasis and provide a rationale for developing miR-708 as a therapeutic agent against metastatic breast cancer.

Project description:microRNAs are posttranscriptional regulators that bind to target mRNAs. We tested the regulatory effect of miR-708-5p, a miRNA associated with Bipolar Disorder, in the mouse hippocampus. To unveil molecular mechanisms downstream of miR-708-5p, we stereotactically injected a virus overexpressing miR-708-5p for target discovery.

Project description:Aging is a major risk factors for osteoarthritis (OA), and cartilage of the elder are more sensitive to mechanical loading stress. Recently, cartilage progenitor cells (CPCs) arose much interests due to its important role in maintaining cartilage homeostasis. However, the potential mechanism of increased sensitivity to mechanical stress in CPCs has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential links between aging and age-related OA through establish CPCs replicative senescence model and fluid flow shear stress (FFSS) stimulated degeneration model. Small RNA and mRNA sequence were conducted to investigate miRNA-related mechanisms in this process. By gain-and-lost strategy we investigated the age-related miRNAs and their impacts on exacerbating the progression of biomechanical stimulated TMJ-OA. miR-708-5p was identified as age-related miRNA in CPCs, and TLR4 was identified as its direct target through luciferase report assay. Age-related miR-708-5p deficiency increased sensitivity of CPCs for exposure to FFSS by liberating TLR4 expression. Intra-articular delivery agomiR-708-5p alleviated TMJ osteoarthritic cartilage lesions in mice. In conclusion, age-related miR-708-5p deficiency increases the sensitivity to mechanical loading stress and promotes CPCs senescence like degeneration via TLR4.

Project description:Approximately 15% of lung cancer cases are not associated with smoking and show molecular and clinical characteristics distinct from those in smokers. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations, which are correlated with sensitivity to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), are more frequent in never-smoker lung cancers. In this study, microRNA (miRNA) expression profiling of 28 never-smoker lung cancer cases identified aberrantly expressed miRNAs, which were much fewer than in lung cancers of smokers and included miRNAs previously identified (e.g., upregulated miR-21) and unidentified (e.g., downregulated miR-138) in those smoker cases. The changes in expression of some of these miRNAs were more remarkable in cases with EGFR mutations than in those without: the most upregulated miRNA, miR-21, was more abundant in cancers with EGFR mutation. A significant correlation between phosphorylated-EGFR (p-EGFR) and miR-21 levels in lung carcinoma cell lines and the suppression of miR-21 by an EGFR-TKI, AG1478, suggested that the EGFR signaling pathway positively regulated miR-21 expression. In a never-smoker-derived lung adenocarcinoma cell line H3255 with mutant EGFR and high levels of p-EGFR and miR-21, antisense inhibition of miR-21 enhanced AG1478-induced apoptosis. In a never-smoker-derived adenocarcinoma cell line H441 with wild-type EGFR, the antisense miR-21 not only showed the additive effect with AG1478 but also induced apoptosis by itself. These results suggest that aberrantly increased expression of miR-21, which is further enhanced by the activated EGFR signaling pathway, plays a critical role in lung carcinogenesis in never-smokers and is a potential therapeutic target in both EGFR mutant and wild-type cases.
