Project description:Thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been discovered, yet the function of the vast majority remains unclear. Here, we show that a p53-regulated lncRNA which we named PINCR (p53-induced noncoding RNA), is induced ~100-fold after DNA damage and exerts a prosurvival function in human colorectal cancer cells (CRC) in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. Targeted deletion of PINCR in CRC cells significantly impaired G1 arrest and induced hypersensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs. PINCR regulates the induction of a subset of p53 targets involved in G1 arrest and apoptosis, including BTG2, RRM2B and GPX1. Using a novel RNA pulldown approach that utilized endogenous S1-tagged PINCR, we show that PINCR associates with the enhancer region of these genes by binding to RNA-binding protein Matrin 3 that, in turn, associates with p53. Our findings uncover a critical prosurvival function of a p53/PINCR/Matrin 3 axis in response to DNA damage in CRC cells.

Project description:We identified a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) upregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC). We elucidated its role and clinical significance in CRC carcinogenesis. Methods: LncRNA candidates were identified using TCGA database. LncRNA expression profiles were studied by qRT-PCR and microarray in paired tumor and normal tissues. The independence of the signature in survival prediction was evaluated by multivariable Cox regression analysis. The mechanisms of lncRNA function and regulation in CRC were examined using molecular biological methods. Results: We identified a novel long noncoding gene (PiHL, P53 inHibiting LncRNA) from 8q24.21 as a p53 negative regulator. PiHL is drastically upregulated in CRC and is an independent predictor of CRC poor prognosis. Further in vitro and in vivo models demonstrated that PiHL was crucial in maintaining cell proliferation and inducing 5-FU chemoresistance through a p53-dependent manner. Mechanistically, PiHL acts to promote p53 ubiquitination by sequestering RPL11 from MDM2, through enhancing GRWD1 and RPL11 complex formation. We further show that p53 can directly bind to PiHL promoter and regulating its expression. Conclusion: Our study illustrates how cancer cells hijack the PiHL-p53 axis to promote CRC progression and chemoresistance. PiHL plays an oncogenic role in CRC carcinogenesis and is an independent prognostic factor as well as a potential therapeutic target for CRC patients.

Project description:p53 plays a central role in tumor suppression. Emerging evidence suggests long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) as an important class of regulatory molecules that control the p53 signaling. Here, we report that the oncogenic lncRNA E2F1 messenger RNA (mRNA) stabilizing factor (EMS) and p53 mutually repress each other's expression. EMS is negatively regulated by p53. As a direct transcriptional repression target of p53, EMS is surprisingly shown to inhibit p53 expression. EMS associates with cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein 2 (CPEB2) and thus, disrupts the CPEB2-p53 mRNA interaction. This disassociation attenuates CPEB2-mediated p53 mRNA polyadenylation and suppresses p53 translation. Functionally, EMS is able to exert its oncogenic activities, at least partially, via the CPEB2-p53 axis. Together, these findings reveal a double-negative feedback loop between p53 and EMS, through which p53 is finely controlled. Our study also demonstrates a critical role for EMS in promoting tumorigenesis via the negative regulation of p53.

Project description:Maternally Expressed Gene 3 (MEG3) encodes a lncRNA which is suggested to function as a tumor suppressor. Previous studies suggested that MEG3 functioned through activation of p53, however, the functional properties of MEG3 remain obscure and their relevance to human diseases is under continuous investigation. Here, we try to illuminate the relationship of MEG3 and p53, and the consequence in hepatoma cells. We find that transfection of expression construct of MEG3 enhances stability and transcriptional activity of p53. Deletion analysis of MEG3 confirms that full length and intact structure of MEG3 are critical for it to activate p53-mediated transactivation. Interestingly, our results demonstrate for the first time that MEG3 can interact with p53 DNA binding domain and various p53 target genes are deregulated after overexpression of MEG3 in hepatoma cells. Furthermore, results of qRT-PCR have shown that MEG3 RNA is lost or reduced in the majority of HCC samples compared with adjacent non-tumorous samples. Ectopic expression of MEG3 in hepatoma cells significantly inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis. In conclusion, our data demonstrates that MEG3 functions as a tumor suppressor in hepatoma cells through interacting with p53 protein to activate p53-mediated transcriptional activity and influence the expression of partial p53 target genes.

Project description:Basal p53 levels are tightly suppressed under normal conditions. Disrupting this regulation results in elevated p53 levels to induce cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and tumor suppression. Here, we report the suppression of basal p53 levels by a nuclear, p53-regulated long noncoding RNA that we termed PURPL (p53 upregulated regulator of p53 levels). Targeted depletion of PURPL in colorectal cancer cells results in elevated basal p53 levels and induces growth defects in cell culture and in mouse xenografts. PURPL associates with MYBBP1A, a protein that binds to and stabilizes p53, and inhibits the formation of the p53-MYBBP1A complex. In the absence of PURPL, MYBBP1A interacts with and stabilizes p53. Silencing MYBBP1A significantly rescues basal p53 levels and proliferation in PURPL-deficient cells, suggesting that MYBBP1A mediates the effect of PURPL in regulating p53. These results reveal a p53-PURPL auto-regulatory feedback loop and demonstrate a role for PURPL in maintaining basal p53 levels.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in various human cancers. We aimed to determine the key lncRNAs mediating colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. We identified some lncRNAs aberrantly expressed in CRC tissues by using lncRNA microarrays and demonstrated that SH3PXD2A-AS1 was one of the most highly overexpressed lncRNAs in CRC. We further aimed to explore the roles and possible molecular mechanisms of SH3PXD2A-AS1 in CRC. RNA ISH revealed that SH3PXD2A-AS1 was overexpressed in CRC compared with adjacent normal colon tissues and indicated poor prognosis in CRC. Functional analyses showed that SH3PXD2A-AS1 enhanced cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Mechanistically, SH3PXD2A-AS1 can directly interact with p53 protein and regulate p53-mediated gene transcription in CRC. We provided mechanistic insights into the regulation of SH3PXD2A-AS1 on p53-mediated gene transcription and suggested its potential as a new prognostic biomarker and target for the clinical management of CRC.

Project description:The tumor-suppressor protein p53 is activated in response to numerous cellular stresses including DNA damage. p53 functions primarily as a sequence-specific transcription factor that controls the expression of hundreds of protein-coding genes and noncoding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). While the role of protein-coding genes and miRNAs in mediating the effects of p53 has been extensively studied, the physiological function and molecular mechanisms by which p53-regulated lncRNAs act is beginning to be understood. In this review, we discuss recent studies on lncRNAs that are directly or indirectly regulated by p53 and how they contribute to the biological outcomes of p53 activation.
