Structural Modifications and Novel Protein-Binding Sites in Pre-miR-675-Explaining Its Regulatory Mechanism in Carcinogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Pre-miR-675 is a microRNA expressed from the exon 1 of H19 long noncoding RNA, and the atypical expression of pre-miR-675 has been linked with several diseases and disorders including cancer. To execute its function inside the cell, pre-miR-675 is folded into a particular conformation, which aids in its interaction with several other biological molecules. However, the exact folding dynamics of pre-miR-675 and its protein-binding motifs are currently unknown. Moreover, how H19 lncRNA and pre-miR-675 crosstalk and modulate each other's activities is also unclear. The detailed structural analysis of pre-miR-675 in this study determines its earlier unknown conformation and identifies novel protein-binding sites on pre-miR-675, thus making it an excellent therapeutic target against cancer. Co-folding analysis between H19 lncRNA and pre-miR-675 determine structural transformations in pre-miR-675, thus describing the earlier unknown mechanism of interaction between these two molecules. Comprehensively, this study details the conformation of pre-miR-675 and its protein-binding sites and explains its relationship with H19 lncRNA, which can be interpreted to understand the role of pre-miR-675 in the development and progression of tumorigenesis and designing new therapeutics against cancers.

Project description:This study assessed miR-675-3p-related regulatory mechanisms in melanoma and the clinical relevance of such regulatory activities. We downloaded miRNA mature strand expression RNA-Seq, phenotypic, and DNA methylation data pertaining to the TCGA Melanoma cohort. Differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) between metastatic and primary melanoma patient tissues were then identified, and miR-675-3p expression in melanoma patient peripheral blood was confirmed using the GSE20994 GEO dataset, while its expression in melanoma cell lines was evaluated via qRT-RCR. The clinical and prognostic implications of miR-675-3p in melanoma were assessed, and miR-675-3p target genes were identified using bioinformatics tools. Functional roles of this miRNA were explored via Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses. We identified 3 and 22 miRNAs that were up- and downregulated, respectively, in metastatic melanoma samples relative to primary melanoma samples. Upregulation of miR-675-3p was associated with poorer overall patient survival, tumor histologic grade, and Clark's level. Consistently, miR-675-3p was also overexpressed in the peripheral blood of melanoma patients relative to healthy controls, and in melanoma cell lines relative to control cells. Gene regulatory networks indicated that 32 transcription factors control miR-675-3p expression, and that it, in turn, regulates 10 target genes. KEGG analyses indicated that these genes were associated with cell cycle, transcriptional misregulation in cancer, TGF-beta signaling, and HIF-1 signaling pathways. Gain-of-function assays revealed that miR-675-3p could promote cell proliferation via accelerating cell cycle progression. Western blotting results indicated that miR-675-3p could active TGF-beta and HIF-1 signaling. Through upstream and downstream analyses of miR-675-3p-related regulatory activity, we confirmed that this miRNA participates in key melanoma-related processes and offers value as a prognostic biomarker in melanoma patients.
