HnRNPK-regulated PTOV1-AS1 modulates heme oxygenase-1 expression via miR-1207-5p.

ABSTRACT: Antisense transcripts were initially identified as transcriptional noise, but have since been reported to play an important role in the quality control of miRNA functions. In this report, we tested the hypothesis that heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK) regulates miRNA function via competitive endogenous RNAs, such as pseudogenes, long non-coding RNAs, and antisense transcripts. Based on analyses of RNA sequencing data, the knockdown of hnRNPK decreased the antisense PTOV1-AS1 transcript which harbors five binding sites for miR-1207-5p. We identified heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mRNA as a novel target of miR-1207-5p by western blotting and Ago2 immunoprecipitation. The knockdown of hnRNPK or PTOV1-AS1 suppressed HO-1 expression by increasing the enrichment of HO-1 mRNA in miR-1207-5p-mediated miRISC. Downregulation of HO-1 by a miR-1207-5p mimic or knockdown of hnRNPK and PTOV1-AS1 inhibited the proliferation and clonogenic ability of HeLa cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate that hnRNPKregulated PTOV1-AS1 modulates HO-1 expression via miR- 1207-5p. [BMB Reports 2017; 50(4): 220-225].

Project description:Malignant characteristics of cancers, represented by rapid cell proliferation and high metastatic potential, are a major cause of high cancer-related mortality. As a multifunctional RNA-binding protein, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK) is closely associated with cancer progression in various types of cancers. In this study, we sought to identify hnRNPK-regulated long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) that play a critical role in the regulation of cancer malignancy. We found that hnRNPK controlled malignant phenotypes including invasiveness, proliferation, and clonogenicity. RNA sequencing and functional studies revealed that LINC00263, a novel target of hnRNPK, is involved in the oncogenic functions of hnRNPK. Knockdown of LINC00263 mitigated the malignant capabilities. Conversely, increased malignant phenotypes were observed in LINC00263-overexpressing cells. Since LINC00263 was mainly localized in the cytosol and highly enriched in Argonaute 2-immunoprecipitation (Ago2-IP), we hypothesized that LINC00263 acts as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA), and thus sought to identify LINC00263-associated microRNAs. Using small RNA sequencing followed by antisense oligonucleotide pull-down, miR-147a was selected for further study. We found that miR-147a negatively regulates LINC00263 via direct interaction, thus suppressing malignant capabilities. Moreover, knockdown of hnRNPK and LINC00263 upregulated miR-147a, indicating that LINC00263 serves as a ceRNA for miR-147a. By analyzing RNA sequencing data and miRNA target prediction, calpain 2 (CAPN2) was identified as a putative target of miR-147a. Ago2-IP and luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-147a suppressed CAPN2 expression by directly binding to the 3'UTR of CAPN2 mRNA. In addition, we found that the weakened malignant capabilities following knockdown of hnRNPK or LINC00263 were restored by miR-147a inhibition or CAPN2 overexpression. Furthermore, our findings were validated in various other types of cancer cells including lung cancer, colorectal cancer, neuroblastoma, and melanoma. Collectively, we demonstrate that hnRNPK-regulated LINC00263 plays an important role in cancer malignancy by acting as a miR-147a decoy and thus upregulating CAPN2.
