Project description:Accumulating evidence suggests that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) contributes to metastasis, a major cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). MeCP2 (methyl CpG binding protein 2), a key modulator for initiating gene transcription, plays a pivotal role in EMT, but its upstream signaling pathways are poorly understood. We collected 137 colorectal cancer patients’ samples, including tumor tissues (n=137), adjacent normal tissues (n=137) and liver metastases (n=11). Three pairs of colorectal cancer cell lines were sequenced to identify high abundance of lincRNAs in primary tumor tissues. Two independent experiments (electrophoretic mobility shift assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay) were used to characterize the interaction between LINC00261 and MeCP2. Subsequently, the effects of LINC00261 on phosphorylation of MeCP2 and promotion of the MeCP2-ZEB1 feedback were examined. Consequently long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 261 (LINC00261) was down-regulated in highly metastatic CRC cells and liver metastases from patients with CRC. Down-regulating LINC00261 promoted the expression of EMT markers and increased the invasive and migratory properties of multiple CRC cell lines. Furthermore, knocking down LINC00261 increased colon-derived liver metastasis in an orthotopic CRC model and promoted distant metastatic colonization in a lung metastasis model. Mechanistic studies revealed that LINC00261 interacted with MeCP2 and stabilized it in the nucleus by inhibiting Ser80 phosphorylation Interestingly, ZEB1 could re-modulate MeCP2 expression by binding to the MeCP2 promoter, and they formed a positive feedback loop consequently. In contrast, the lower LINC00261 expression in CRC samples correlated with reduced E-cadherin and membrane β-catenin levels, and was associated with shorter overall survival. Taken together, LINC00261 suppresses EMT and CRC cells’ metastatic potential by negatively regulating the MeCP2-ZEB1 feedback loop; LINC00261’s loss in metastatic tissues may be a potential prognostic marker of aggressive disease.

Project description:To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study presenting detailed evidences for the underlying role of LINC00261 in pancreatic cancer both in vitro and in vivo. Also, we thoroughly explored the clinical value of LINC00261 in multicenter cohorts and developed an individualized predictive model of survival. To investigate the potential downstream pathway of LINC00261, we performed RNA-seq using two PANC-1 cell groups: LINC00261 knockdown and control.

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of regulatory molecules whose role in lung carcinogenesis is poorly understood. In this study, we profiled lncRNA expression in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cell lines, compared their expression to that of purified alveolar epithelial type II cells (the purported cell of origin for LUAD), cross-referenced these with lncRNAs altered in primary human tumors, and interrogated for lncRNA whose expression correlated with patient survival. We identified LINC00261, a lncRNA with unknown function in LUAD, adjacent to the pioneering transcription factor FOXA2. Loss of LINC00261 was observed in multiple tumor types, including liver, breast, and gastric cancer. Reintroduction of LINC00261 into human LUAD cell lines inhibited cell migration and slowed proliferation by inducing a G2/M cell cycle arrest while upregulating DNA damage pathway genes and inducing phosphorylation-mediated activation of components of the DNA damage pathway. FOXA2 was able to induce LINC00261 expression, and the entire locus underwent hypermethylation in LUAD, leading to loss of expression. We have thus identified an epigenetically deregulated lncRNA, whose loss of expression in LUAD promotes the malignant phenotype and blocks activation of the DNA damage machinery, predisposing lung cells to cancer development.

Project description:Keratinocyte skin cancer, comprising cutaneous squamous (cSCC) and basal cell carcinoma, is the most common malignancy in the UK. P53 is frequently mutated in cSCC. iASPP is a key inhibitor of p53 and NF-kB signalling pathways and has been documented as highly expressed in several types of human cancer. We have previously identified an autoregulatory feedback loop between iASPP and p63, which is critical in epidermal homeostasis. We hypothesised a potential role for dysregulation of this axis in the pathogenesis of keratinocyte malignancies. Immunostaining of 116 cSCC clinical samples revealed increased iASPP and ΔNp63 expression but also highlighted a significant alteration of iASPP cellular localisation, with consequent deregulation of its function. Expression patterns, functionality, gene and microRNA expression analysis were further investigated in 10 cSCC cell lines. Our data suggest that whilst direct effects of iASPP and p63 upon each other’s expression are maintained in cSCC, epigenetic dysregulation of the feedback loop occurs at the microRNA level by a novel mechanism controlling p63 expression. We demonstrate that this autoregulatory feedback loop controls cell migration in cSCC by blocking EMT and promoting proliferation, and provides future directions for clinical biomarker and therapeutic target discovery in cutaneous SCC.

Project description:BackgroundBreast cancer has become the most frequently diagnosed cancer worldwide. Increasing evidence indicated that zinc finger proteins (ZNFs), the largest family of transcription factors, contribute to cancer development and progression. Although ZNF384 is overexpressed in several types of human cancer, the role of ZNF384 in breast cancer remains unknown. Therefore, our research focused on ZNF384 regulation of the malignant phenotype of breast cancer and the underlying molecular mechanisms.MethodsCCK-8 and colony formation assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation. Transwell and scratch assays were used to evaluate the cell migration and invasion. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-qPCR and luciferase reporter assays were used to confirm the target relationship between ZNF384 and zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1). Xenografts were used to monitor the targets in vivo effects.ResultsWe noted that ZNF384 was significantly overexpressed in breast cancer and highlighted the oncogenic mechanism of ZNF384. ZNF384 transactivated ZEB1 expression and induced an epithelial and mesenchymal-like phenotype, resulting in breast cancer metastasis. Furthermore, ZNF384 may be a target of miR-485-5p, and ZEB1 can up-regulate ZNF384 expression by repressing miR-485-5p expression. Together, we unveiled a feedback loop of ZNF384-ZEB1 in breast cancer metastasis.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that ZNF384 can serve as a prognostic factor and a therapeutic target for breast cancer patients.

Project description:Epigenetic mechanisms can be influenced by environmental cues and thus evoke phenotypic variation. This plasticity can be advantageous for adaption, but also detrimental if not under tight control. Although having attracted considerable interest, it remains largely unknown if and how environmental cues such as temperature trigger epigenetic alterations. Using fission yeast, we demonstrate that environmentally induced discontinuous phenotypic variation is buffered by a negative feedback loop that involves the RNase Dicer and the protein disaggregase Hsp104. In the absence of Hsp104, Dicer accumulates in cytoplasmic inclusions and heterochromatin becomes unstable at elevated temperatures, an epigenetic state that is inherited for many generations after the heat stress. Dicer instead averts the toxic aggregation of a prionogenic protein. Our results highlight the importance of feedback regulation in building epigenetic memory and uncover Hsp104 and Dicer as homeostatic controllers that buffer environmentally induced stochastic epigenetic variation and toxic aggregation of prionogenic proteins.
