MiR-92a-3p regulates cisplatin-induced cancer cell death.

ABSTRACT: Non-small cell lung cancer is characterized by a dismal prognosis largely owing to inefficient diagnosis and tenacious drug resistance. Therefore, the identification of new molecular determinants underlying sensitivity of cancer cells to existing therapy is of particular importance to develop new effective combinatorial treatment strategy. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNAs, have been established as master regulators of a variety of cellular processes that play a key role in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. This, along with their widespread deregulation in many distinct cancers, has triggered enthusiasm for miRNAs as novel therapeutic targets for cancer management, in particular in patients with refractory cancers such as those harboring KRAS mutations. In this study, we performed a loss-of-function screening approach to identify miRNAs whose silencing promotes sensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells to cisplatin. Our results showed in particular that antisense oligonucleotides directed against miR-92a-3p, a member of the oncogenic miR-17 ~ 92 cluster, caused the greatest increase in the sensitivity of KRAS-mutated LUAD cells to cisplatin. In addition, we demonstrated that this miRNA finely regulates the apoptotic threshold and the proliferative capacity of various tumor cell lines with distinct genetic alterations. Collectively, these data suggest that targeting miR-92a-3p may serve as an effective strategy to overcome treatment resistance of solid tumors.

Project description:Background and aimsCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, however, the underlying mechanisms that link CKD and CVD are not fully understood and limited treatment options exist in this high-risk population. microRNAs (miRNA) are critical regulators of gene expression for many biological processes in atherosclerosis, including endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. We hypothesized that renal injury-induced endothelial miRNAs promote atherosclerosis. Here, we demonstrate that dual inhibition of endothelial miRNAs inhibits atherosclerosis in the setting of renal injury.MethodsAortic endothelial miRNAs were analyzed in apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe-/-) mice with renal damage (5/6 nephrectomy, 5/6Nx) by real-time PCR. Endothelial miR-92a-3p and miR-489-3p were inhibited by locked-nucleic acid (LNA) miRNA inhibitors complexed to HDL.ResultsRenal injury significantly increased endothelial miR-92a-3p levels in Apoe-/-;5/6Nx mice. Dual inhibition of miR-92a-3p and miR-489-3p in Apoe-/-;5/6Nx with a single injection of HDL + LNA inhibitors significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesion area by 28.6% compared to HDL + LNA scramble (LNA-Scr) controls. To examine the impact of dual LNA treatment on aortic endothelial gene expression, total RNA sequencing was completed, and multiple putative target genes and pathways were identified to be significantly altered, including the STAT3 immune response pathway. Among the differentially expressed genes, Tgfb2 and Fam220a were identified as putative targets of miR-489-3p and miR-92a-3p, respectively. Both Tgfb2 and Fam220a were significantly increased in aortic endothelium after miRNA inhibition in vivo compared to HDL + LNA-Scr controls. Furthermore, Tgfb2 and Fam220a were validated with gene reporter assays as direct targets of miR-489-3p and miR-92a-3p, respectively. In human coronary artery endothelial cells, over-expression and inhibition of miR-92a-3p decreased and increased FAM220A expression, respectively. Moreover, miR-92a-3p overexpression increased STAT3 phosphorylation, likely through direct regulation of FAM220A, a negative regulator of STAT3 phosphorylation.ConclusionsThese results support endothelial miRNAs as therapeutic targets and dual miRNA inhibition as viable strategy to reduce CKD-associated atherosclerosis.
