Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) have been associated with the development of cancer. However, the interplay between lncRNAs and androgen receptor (AR) signaling in prostate cancer is still unclear. Here, we identified lncRNAs induced by androgen in AR-positive prostate cancer cells, where induction was abolished by AR knockdown as well as an anti-androgen, bicalutamide. By combining these data, we identified an androgen-regulated lncRNA, suppressor of cytokine signaling 2-antisense transcript 1 (SOCS2-AS1), the expression of which was higher in castration-resistant prostate cancer model cells, i.e long-term androgen-deprived (LTAD) cells, than in parental androgen-dependent LNCaP cells. SOCS2-AS1 promoted castration-resistant and androgen-dependent cell growth. We found that SOCS2-AS1 knockdown up-regulated genes related to the apoptosis pathway, including tumor necrosis factor superfamily 10 (TNFSF10), and sensitized prostate cancer cells to docetaxel treatment. Moreover, we also demonstrated that SOCS2-AS1 promotes androgen signaling by modulating the epigenetic control for AR target genes including TNFSF10 These findings suggest that SOCS2-AS1 plays an important role in the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer by repressing apoptosis.

Project description:Although long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been associated with a variety of cancers, the interplay between lncRNAs and androgen receptor signaling in prostate cancer is still unclear. We identified an androgen-dependent lncRNA, POTEF-AS1, whose expression was regulated by androgen receptor in two androgen-dependent cells by using directional RNA sequencing analysis. POTEF-AS1 promoted cell growth, repressed genes related to the Toll-like receptor signaling and apoptosis pathways, and inhibited apoptosis in docetaxel-treated LNCaP cells. These findings suggest that POTEF-AS1 would play a key role in the progression of prostate cancer by repressing Toll-like receptor signaling.

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common types of tumors among males worldwide. However, the roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in PCa remain unclear. This study shows that lncRNA FAM83H-AS1 is upregulated in prostate adenocarcinoma, bladder urothelial carcinoma, and kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma samples. Androgen receptor (AR) signaling plays the most important role in PCa tumorigenesis and development. In this study, the results validate that AR signaling is involved in upregulating FAM83H-AS1 expression in PCa cells. Loss-of-function assays demonstrate that FAM83H-AS1 acts as an oncogene in PCa by modulating cell proliferation, cell cycle, and migration. Bioinformatics analysis demonstrates that FAM83H-AS1 is remarkably related to the regulation of the cell cycle and DNA replication through affecting multiple regulators related to these pathways, such as CCNE2. Mechanically, we found that FAM83H-AS1 plays its roles through sponging miR-15a to promote CCNE2 expression. These findings indicate that FAM83H-AS1 is a novel diagnostic and therapeutic marker for PCa.

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:We investigated the role of actin filament associated protein 1 antisense RNA1 (AFAP1-AS1) lncRNA in promoting cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). qRT-PCR analysis of patient samples showed that AFAP1-AS1 expression was higher in CCA tumors than matched adjacent non-tumor tissue. AFAP1-AS1 levels were also higher in CCA cell lines (HuCCT1 and TFK-1) than a normal biliary epithelium cell line (HIBEpic). AFAP1-AS1 knockdown in CCA cell lines using shAFAP1-AS1 reduced cell proliferation and colony formation in CCK-8 and colony formation assays, respectively. Cell cycle analysis demonstrated that AFAP1-AS1 knockdown resulted in G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and inhibition of S-G2/M transition compared to the controls. CCA cells transfected with shAFAP1-AS1 also exhibited reduced metastasis and invasiveness in Transwell and wound healing assays. This was further confirmed in xenograft experiments with nude mice using CCA cells transfected with shAFAP1-AS1 or control shRNA. AFAP1-AS1 knockdown cells produced smaller tumors, demonstrating that AFAP1-AS1 promotes tumor growth in vivo. AFAP1-AS1 knockdown also increased expression of actin filament associated protein 1 (AFAP1) and reduced cell stress filament integrity, as determined from western blot and immunofluorescence assays, respectively. These findings indicate that AFAP1-AS1 exerts oncogenic effects in CCA. We postulate that AFAP1-AS1 is a potentially useful diagnostic and prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for CCA.

Project description:Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and AR downstream signalings promote prostate cancer cell proliferation. We identified a novel androgen-regulated long non-coding (lnc) RNA, SOCS2-AS1. In order to investigate the SOCS2-AS1 function in prostate cancer cells, we performed gene expression in AR-positive prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP and LTAD) after siSOCS2-AS1 or siSOCS2 treatment. We also treated cells with vehicle or androgen to analyzed the effects of siSOCS2-AS1 on AR function. Observation of androgen dependent gene expression changes after treatmet with siSOCS2-AS1 with microarray.

Project description:As the most common cause of cancer death in women, the pathogenesis of breast cancer still remains unclear. Here, we reported a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), HOTTIP (HOXA transcript at the distal tip), that may play an important role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. Using gain-and-loss-of experiments in vitro and in vivo, we observed the marked upregulation of HOTTIP/HOXA11 in the breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, and the downregulation of HOTTIP or HOXA11, which might inhibit cell proliferation and migration but promote cell apoptosis in breast cancer MCF-7 cells. In addition, by further rescue experiments with HOXA11 overexpression, we uncovered a novel potential regulatory mechanism between HOTTIP and one of its physical HOXA clusters, HOXA11. Hence, HOTTIP may mediate, at least partly, HOXA11 expression involved in cell growth, migration, and apoptosis of breast cancer MCF-7 cells.

Project description:A growing number of dysregulated long non‑coding (lnc)RNAs have been verified to serve an essential role in human prostate cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms of lncRNA MNX1 Antisense RNA 1 (MNX1‑AS1) in prostate cancer has not been explored. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the function of MNX1‑AS1 in prostate cancer tumorigenesis and investigate the in‑depth mechanism. The expression of MNX1‑AS1, microRNA (miR)‑2113 and murine double min 2 (MDM2) in prostate cancer tissues and corresponding normal tissues were assessed by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. The protein expression levels of MDM2 were detected by western blotting. LNCaP and PC‑3 cells were transfected with short hairpin (sh)‑MNX1‑AS1, miR‑2113 mimics, miR‑2113 inhibitor and pCDH‑MDM2 vector using Lipofectamine® 3000. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion abilities were assessed by CCK‑8 assay, colony formation and Transwell assay, respectively. Dual luciferase reporter assay was carried out to confirm the putative targets of MNX1‑AS1 and miR‑2113. Tumor formation experiment in nude mice was applied to evaluate the tumor growth effect of MNX1‑AS1 in vivo. The expression of MNX1‑AS1 was significantly upregulated in the prostate cancer tissues and cell lines. MNX1‑AS1 knockdown suppressed the abilities of cell viability and migration and invasion in vitro and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Additionally, luciferase reporter assay revealed that MNX1‑AS1 could target miR‑2113 and negatively interacted with miR‑2113 in prostate cancer cells. miR‑2113 directly targeted to MDM2 and negatively modulated the expression of MDM2. Rescue assays suggested that the viability, migration and invasion of impaired cells triggered by transfection with sh‑MNX1‑AS1 alone could be recovered by co‑transfection with sh‑MNX1‑AS1 + miR‑2113 inhibitor or sh‑MNX1‑AS1 + pCDH‑ MDM2 vector. The present study demonstrated that MNX1‑AS1 promoted prostate cancer progression through regulating miR‑2113/ MDM2 axis.
