Project description:Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one kind of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the world. Recent evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in tissue development, gene transcription, signal regulation and tumorigenesis. However, whether circRNAs are involved in HCC progression and encode functional proteins remains largely unknown. Methods: circRNAs microarrays were performed using pathologically diagnosed HCC samples and paired adjacent normal liver tissues. Cell invasion, migration, cycle, and apoptosis post circRNA overexpression were measured using a transwell culture system, a wound healing assay, and flow cytometry. Full-length, mutated, and truncated sequences of circEPS15 with a FLAG tag were inserted into a circular expression vector. Western blotting was used to confirm circEPS15 expression and the requirement of internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) elements within the circRNA. The miRNA and mRNA expression profiles were obtained by analyzing data retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We then constructed a ceRNA network ofcircEPS15, miRNAs, and mRNAs. Results: The expression of circEPS15 was downregulated in HCC tissues, and the survival curves showed that low circEPS15 levels were associated with poor overall survival in HCC patients. Overexpression of circEPS15 suppressed tumor invasion and migration by inhibiting the TJP1/CDH2/VIM signaling pathway and retarded cell cycle progression, yet had no effect on cell apoptosis. ceRNA analysis and qRT-PCR results suggest a possible circRNA (circEPS15)-miRNA-mRNA network in HCC. The spanning junction open reading frame in circEPS15 driven by IRES encoded a novel protein. Conclusions: Endogenous circEPS15 plays a novel role in repressing HCC through the ceRNA network and encoding a functional protein.

Project description:Glioblastoma cells are characterized by a highly invasive behavior whose mechanisms are not yet understood. Using the wound healing and Boyden chamber assays we compared in the present study the migration and invasion abilities of 5 glioblastoma cell lines (DK-MG, GaMG, U87-MG, U373-MG, SNB19) differing in p53 and PTEN status. We also analyzed by Western blotting the expression of PTEN, p53, mTOR and several other marker proteins involved in cell adhesion, migration and invasion. Among 5 cell lines, GaMG cells exhibited the fastest rate of wound closure, whereas U87-MG cells showed the most rapid chemotactic migration in the Boyden chamber assay. In DK-MG and GaMG cells, F-actin mainly occurred in the numerous stress fibers spanning the cytoplasm, whereas U87-MG, U373-MG and SNB19 cells preferentially expressed F-actin in filopodia and lamellipodia. Moreover, the two glioblastoma lines mutated in both p53 and PTEN genes (U373-MG and SNB19) were found to exhibit the fastest invasion rates through the Matrigel matrix. Here, we performed a gene expression profiling of the five glioblastoma cell lines to examine the molecular framework of differences in invasive behavior to find possible targets for chemo- and radiation therapy.

Project description:Placentation requires the proper regulation of extravillous trophoblast (EVT) migration and invasion into the decidua and maternal vasculature, processes which are initiated in physiologic hypoxic conditions. Abnormal EVT migration and/or invasion have been suggested to lead to pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia. The objectives of this study are to determine how exposure to hypoxia impacts gene expression and cellular motility of first trimester trophoblasts, and to assess if expression of migration-associated genes is dysregulated in 2nd trimester chorionic villous samples (CVS) from preeclampsia pregnancies relative to CVS from healthy pregnancies. The 1st trimester trophoblast cell line, HTR8/SVneo, was used to investigate the relationship between hypoxia and Notch signaling in trophoblast migration and invasion. RNA sequencing and quantitative RT-PCR analyses show that exposure to hypoxia (2.5% O2) activates Notch signaling in HTR-8/SVneo. We demonstrate that exposure of HTR-8/SVneo to hypoxia induces expression of genes associated with cellular migration and invasion and increases HTR-8/SVneo cellular migration and invasion, whereas inhibition of gamma-secretase decreases Notch signaling and decreases HTR-8/SVneo migration and invasion. Analysis of RNA sequencing data from CVS of preeclampsia and uncomplicated pregnancies identified significant differentially expressed genes that are involved in cellular migration and invasion. Decreased expression of migration and invasion genes in CVS from preeclampsia pregnancies, may impair trophoblast migration and invasion in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, resulting in the development of preeclampsia.

Project description:We identified distinct sets of genes under the control of PRMT5 and E2F1. Some of the most highly regulated genes, such as cortactin/CTTN, influenced cell migration, invasion and adherence. We characterised the functional role of the cortactin/CTTN gene, which enabled PRMT5 through E2F1 to promote cellular migration and invasion, whilst decreasing cellular adherence. Most significantly, there was a striking coincidence between the expression of PRMT5 and E2F1 in certain human tumours, and elevated levels of PRMT5, E2F1 and cortactin/CTTN correlated with poor prognosis disease. Our results suggest a causal relationship between PRMT5, E2F1 and the migration and invasion of cancer cells, thereby highlighting an important pathway that contributes to the cancer biology of tumour cells.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators in cellular processes. In the present study, the effects of the long non-coding RNA, SNHG5 was investigated in lung adenocarcinoma (LAD) and we also revealed the underlying mechanisms of it. Overexpressed SNHG5 suppressed migration and invasion of LAD cell line A549 in vitro. Transcriptome sequencing analysis supported the inhibitory effects of SNHG5 were associated with cell adhesion molecules. In addition, western blot and immunofluorescence showed that the expression of SNHG5 was associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. Furthermore, we determined the effects of SNHG5 in EMT procession of A549 induced by TGF-β1. Consistent with previous results, overexpression of SNHG5 suppressed the migration and invasion, and also the expression of EMT-related transcription factors including Snail, SLUG and ZEB1 in EMT of A549 reduced by TGF-β1. Moreover, qRT-PCR demonstrated expression of SNHG5 was positively correlated with E-cadherin protein expression, but negatively correlated with N-cadherin and Vimentin in LAD tissues. In summary, our study demonstrated that lncRNA SNHG5 could suppress cell migration and invasion of LAD cancer by inhibiting EMT procession, highlighting the potential of SNHG5 as a therapy strategy for lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Metastasis accounts for almost 90% of breast cancer-related fatalities, making it frequent malignancy and the main reason of tumor mortality globally among women. A key player in breast cancer is the histone demethylase lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1). We used LSD1 knockdown MCF7 and T47D cell exosomes to treat breast cancer cells for greatly increasing the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells for evaluating the impact of LSD1 on breast cancer invasion and migration. miR-1290 expression was downregulated in LSD1 knockdown MCF7 exosomes. Furthermore, miR-1290 could control NAT1 expression by looking through the database of miR-1290 target genes. These data provide fresh insights into the biology of breast cancer therapy by demonstrating how the epigenetic factor LSD1 stimulates the breast cancer cells’ invasion and migration via controlling exosomal miRNA.

Project description:Tumors and tumor surrounding tissues produce multiple growth factors that influence tumor cell behavior via different signal transduction pathways. Growth factors like transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were shown to induce proliferation, migration and invasion in different cell models. Both factors are frequently overexpressed in cancer and will often act in combination. Although both factors are being used as rational targets in clinical oncology, similarities and differences of their contributions to cancer cell migration and invasion are not fully understood. Here we compared the impact of TGFβ, EGF and the combination of both factors on A549 cells. Both factors stimulated A549 migration to a similar extent but with a different kinetic and the combination had an additive effect. While EGF-induced migration depended on activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, this pathway was dispensable for TGFβ-induced migration despite a strong activation by TGFβ. Proteome analysis revealed an overlap in expression patterns of migration-related proteins and associated gene ontology (GO) terms by TGFβ and EGF but only TGFβ induced the expression of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins like matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2). EGF in contrast, made no major contribution to EMT marker expression on either the protein or the transcript level. In line with these expression patterns, EGF was unable to increase invasion of A549 cells on its own and failed to enhance TGFβ-induced invasion. Overall, these data suggest that TGFβ and EGF may partly compensate each other for stimulation of cell migration but abrogation of TGFβ signaling may be more suitable for antagonizing invasion.
