Effect of siRNA mediated silencing of lncRNA NRCP in cancer cells

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) significantly influence the development and regulation of genome expression in cells. Here, we demonstrate the role of lncRNA ceruloplasmin (NRCP) in cancer metabolism and elucidate functional effects leading to increased tumor progression. NRCP was highly upregulated in ovarian tumors and knockdown of NRCP resulted in significantly increased apoptosis, decreased cell proliferation, and decreased glycolysis compared with control cancer cells. In an orthotopic mouse model of ovarian cancer, siNRCP delivered via a liposomal carrier significantly reduced tumor growth compared with control treatment. We identified NRCP as an intermediate binding partner between STAT1 and RNA polymerase II, leading to increased expression of downstream target genes such as glucose-6-phosphate isomerase. Collectively, we report a previously unrecognized role of the lncRNA NRCP in modulating cancer metabolism. DOPC nanoparticle-incorporated siRNA-mediated silencing of this lncRNA in vivo demonstrates the first known preclinical model indicating therapeutic potential of modulating lncRNAs in cancer.

Project description:Recent studies show that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in human cancers. However, functional lncRNAs and their downstream mechanisms are largely unknown in the molecular pathogenesis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and its progression. In the present study, we performed transcriptomic profiling of five ICC and paired adjacent noncancerous tissues (N) using lncRNA and mRNA microarrays to identify relevant biomarkers in ICC. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the microarray results. We sought correlations between the expression levels of lncRNAs and those of target genes. Clinicopathological characteristics and overall survival were compared using the t-test and the Kaplan–Meier method, respectively. A total of 3,054 and 2,111 lncRNAs were significantly up- and down-regulated(fold change?2, p?0.05) in ICC tissues compared to the adjacent NT samples. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that most such genes were related to carcinogenesis, hepatic system disease, and signal transduction. Positive correlations were evident between four pairs of lncRNAs and target mRNAs (RNA43085 and SULF1, RNA47504 and KDM8, RNA58630 and PCSK6, and RNA40057 and CYP2D6). In addition, some lncRNAs and mRNAs were significantly associated with clinicopathological characteristics. The cumulative overall survival rate was significantly associated with low-level expression of CYP2D6 (p=0.005) and PCSK6 (p=0.038). And patients with high expression levels of CYP2D6 and RNA40057 have significant better prognosis (p=0.014). Our results suggested that lncRNA expression profile in ICC tissues is profoundly different from that in NT samples. The lncRNA signature could be used as a biomarker for the prognosis of patients with ICC. Furthermore, the combination of lncRNA and mRNA can reliably predict the survival. The lncRNA expression profiles of cancer and adjacent normal tissues form 5 ICC patients were studied by microarray and an combination of lncRNA and mRNA could be used as a biomarker for the prognosis of patients with ICC
