Project description:Breast cancer (BC) is a commonly identified life-threatening type of cancer and a major cause of death among women worldwide. Several microRNAs (miRs), including miR-143-5p, have been reported to be vital for regulating hallmarks of cancer; however, the effect of miR-143-5p on BC requires further exploration. The present study performed bioinformatics analysis on GSE42072 and GSE41922 datasets from the National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify miR-143-5p expression patterns. Furthermore, miR-143-5p expression was detected in BC cell lines and tissues via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Post-transfection with miR-143-5p mimics, Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation and Transwell assays were performed to explore the effects of miR-143-5p on BC cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration. The association of miR-143-5p with the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-associated glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) pathway was explored via western blotting, immunofluorescence and dual-luciferase reporter assay. The present study detected high expression of miR-143-5p in BC tissue of the GSE42072 and serum of the GSE41922 datasets by GEO chip analysis. Additionally, the expression levels of miR-143-5p were decreased in BC tissues compared with those in adjacent healthy tissues, and low miR-143-5p expression was associated with a poorer prognosis and shorter survival time in patients with BC. In vitro, miR-143-5p expression levels were decreased in BC cells, and transfection with miR-143-5p mimics suppressed BC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration. Furthermore, miR-143-5p targeted the HIF-1α-related GLUT1 pathway, and inhibited HIF-1α and GLUT1 expression. Additionally, HIF-1α agonists reversed the miR-143-5p-induced inhibition during tumorigenesis. In conclusion, miR-143-5p exhibited low expression in BC tissues, and suppressed BC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration. Moreover, the antitumor effects of miR-143-5p targeted the HIF-1α-related GLUT1 pathway.

Project description:BackgroundPeriodontitis is a prevalent oral inflammatory disease, which can cause periodontal ligament to a local hypoxia environment. However, the mechanism of hypoxia associated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in periodontitis is still largely unknown.MethodsMicroarray was performed to detect the expression patterns of lncRNAs in 3 pairs of gingival tissues from patients with periodontitis and healthy controls. The expression of lncRNA 01126 (LINC01126), miR-518a-5p and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in periodontal tissues and in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) under hypoxia was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or western blot. Fluorescence in situ hybridization and cell fraction assay were performed to determine the subcellular localization of LINC01126 and miR-518a-5p. Overexpression or knockdown of LINC01126 or HIF-1α was used to confirm their biological roles in hPDLCs. MTT assays were performed to evaluate hPDLCs proliferation ability. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis. ELISA was used to measure the expression levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed to assess the binding of miR-518a-5p to LINC01126 and HIF-1α. RNA immunoprecipitation assay was used to identify whether LINC01126 and miR-518a-5p were significantly enriched in AGO-containing micro-ribonucleoprotein complexes.ResultsWe selected LINC01126, which was the most highly expressed lncRNA, to further verify its functions in periodontitis-induced hypoxia. The expression of LINC01126 was increased in periodontal tissues. In vitro experiment demonstrated that LINC01126 suppressed proliferation, promoted apoptosis and inflammation of hPDLCs under hypoxia via sponging miR-518a-5p. Moreover, we identified HIF-1α acted as a direct target of miR-518a-5p in hPDLCs and LINC01126 promoted periodontitis pathogenesis by regulating the miR-518a-5p/HIF-1α/MAPK pathway.ConclusionLINC01126 promotes periodontitis pathogenesis of hPDLCs via miR-518a-5p/HIF-1α/MAPK pathway, providing a possible clue for LINC01126-based periodontal therapeutic approaches.
