Project description:The peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor (PPAR)? pathway is involved in cancer, but it appears to have both tumor suppressor and oncogenic functions. In neuroblastoma cells, miR-27b targets the 3' untranslated region of PPAR? and inhibits its mRNA and protein expression. miR-27b overexpression or PPAR? inhibition blocks cell growth in vitro and tumor growth in mouse xenografts. PPAR? activates expression of the pH regulator NHE1, which is associated with tumor progression. Lastly, miR-27b through PPAR? regulates nuclear factor-?B activity and transcription of inflammatory target genes. Thus, in neuroblastoma, miR-27b functions as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting the tumor-promoting function of PPAR?, which triggers an increased inflammatory response. In contrast, in breast cancer cells, PPAR? inhibits NHE1 expression and the inflammatory response, and it functions as a tumor suppressor. We suggest that the ability of PPAR? to promote or suppress tumor formation is linked to cell type-specific differences in regulation of NHE1 and other target genes.

Project description:To identify potential targets of miR-34a, we performed transcriptional profiling on proneural TS543 GBM cells, focusing on mRNAs whose levels decreased in response to miR-34a transfection as compared to control oligonucleotide. Proneural TS543 GBM cells were transfected with 100 nM hsa-miR-34a or control oligonucleotide using Hiperfect transfection reagent (Qiagen). After 3 days, RNA was isolated and expression analyses were performed using Illumina HT-12 bead array. The microarray dataset was normalized using a variance stable normalization (VSN) procedure in the ‘lumi’ package from the Bioconductor framework.

Project description:Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite that infects the gastrointestinal epithelium and causes a diarrheal disease. Toll-like receptor (TLR)- and NF-κB-mediated immune responses from epithelial cells, such as production of antimicrobial peptides and generation of reactive nitrogen species, are important components of the host's defense against cryptosporidial infection. Here we report data demonstrating a role for miR-27b in the regulation of TLR4/NF-κB-mediated epithelial anti-Cryptosporidium parvum responses. We found that C. parvum infection induced nitric oxide (NO) production in host epithelial cells in a TLR4/NF-κB-dependent manner, with the involvement of the stabilization of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) mRNA. C. parvum infection of epithelial cells activated NF-κB signaling to increase transcription of the miR-27b gene. Meanwhile, downregulation of KH-type splicing regulatory protein (KSRP) was detected in epithelial cells following C. parvum infection. Importantly, miR-27b targeted the 3'-untranslated region of KSRP, resulting in translational suppression. C. parvum infection decreased KSRP expression through upregulating miR-27b. Functional manipulation of KSRP or miR-27b caused reciprocal alterations in iNOS mRNA stability in infected cells. Forced expression of KSRP and inhibition of miR-27b resulted in an increased burden of C. parvum infection. Downregulation of KSRP through upregulating miR-27b was also detected in epithelial cells following LPS stimulation. These data suggest that miR-27b targets KSRP and modulates iNOS mRNA stability following C. parvum infection, a process that may be relevant to the regulation of epithelial anti-microbial defense in general.

Project description:BackgroundChemoresistance remains an enormous challenge in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) exhibit important regulation in tumor progression and chemoresistance. This research focused on exploring the regulatory function and mechanism of circ_MACF1 (has_circ_0011780) in paclitaxel (PTX) resistance in LADC.MethodsCirc_MACF1, miR-421 and flavin-containing monooxygenase 2 (FMO2) were determined by RT-qPCR. MTT was applied to detect IC50 of PTX. The proliferation analysis was performed using EdU and colony formation assay. Cell apoptosis and motility were examined using flow cytometry and transwell assay, respectively. Western blot was administered for protein detection. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed for confirming target interaction. PTX sensitivity in vivo was researched via xenograft tumor assay.ResultsExpression of circ_MACF1 was decreased in PTX-resistant LADC tissues and cells. Circ_MACF1 overexpression reduced chemoresistance, proliferation, motility and accelerated apoptosis in PTX-resistant LADC cells. Circ_MACF1 targeted miR-421 and miR-421 upregulation reverted circ_MACF1-evoked effects. FMO2 served as a downstream target of miR-421 and circ_MACF1 sponged miR-421 to elevate the expression of FMO2. MiR-421 enhanced PTX resistance and LADC progression via targeting FMO2. FMO2 knockdown enhanced IC50 of PTX and cell proliferation. In vivo, circ_MACF1 elevated PTX sensitivity of LADC by mediating miR-421/FMO2 axis.ConclusionThese findings elucidated that circ_MACF1 inhibited PTX resistance by absorbing miR-421 to upregulate FMO2 in LADC.

Project description:Analysis of genes regulated by miR-23b/-27b overexpression in aggressive PC3-ML cells, confirmed by antagomiR inhibition of miR-23b and miR-27b in the relatively indolent cell line LNCaP. Genes that were downregulated in PC3-ML overexpression and upregulated with LNCaP inhibition were further explored as downstream targets of miR-23b/-27b. PC3-Ml cells were transduced with miR-23b/-27b or a scrambled miRNA control, and only cells expressing greater than 95% transduction efficiency were used for array. LNCaP cells were transfected with antagomiRs to miR-23b and miR-27b, or a non-coding control.

Project description:BackgroundCircRNA CNST (circ-CNST) is a newly identified biomarker for prognosis of osteosarcoma (OS). However, its role in OS progression remains to be well documented.MethodsExpression of circ-CNST, microRNA (miR)-578, lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. The physical interaction was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Cell behaviors and glycolysis were measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, transwell assays, xenograft experiment, and commercial kits.ResultsCirc-CNST was upregulated in human OS tissues and cells, accompanied with downregulation of miR-578 and upregulation of LDHA and PDK1. There were negative correlations between miR-578 expression and circ-CNST or LDHA/PDK1 in OS tissues. Moreover, high circ-CNST/LDHA/PDK1 or low miR-578 might predict shorter overall survival, advanced TNM stages, and lymph node metastasis. Physically, miR-578 was targeted by circ-CNST, and miR-578 could target LDHA/PDK1. Functionally, blocking circ-CNST and restoring miR-578 enhanced apoptosis rate and suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion in 143B and U2OS cells, accompanied with decreased glucose consumption, lactate production, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)/adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ratio. Furthermore, in vivo growth of U2OS cells was retarded by silencing circ-CNST. Depletion of miR-578 could counteract the suppressive role of circ-CNST deficiency in 143B and U2OS cells, and restoring LDHA or PDK1 partially reversed the role of miR-578 inhibition as well.ConclusionCirc-CNST knockdown could antagonize malignant behaviors and glycolysis of OS cells by regulating miR-578-LDHA/PDK1 axes.

Project description:Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary and highly malignant mesenchymal tissue tumor. The specific pathological mechanism underlying disease initiation or progression remains unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a type of covalently circular RNA with a head-to-tail junction site. In this study, we aimed to investigate the sponging mechanism between circRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs) in OS. Based on the inhibited effect of miR-16-5p reported on OS, circUSP34 was analyzed as a sponge of miR-16-5p via Starbase. We found that circUSP34 promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of OS in vitro and in vivo. circUSP34 increased but miR-16-5p decreased in OS by qRT-PCR. Function assays showed that the malignancy of OS cells, including proliferation, migration, and invasion, was inhibited after knocking out circUSP34. Western blotting results showed that the expression level of vimentin and Ki-67 decreased. Similarly, miR-16-5p mimic compromised the proliferation, migration, and invasion of OS cells. FISH assay results indicated that circUSP34 and miR-16-5p were colocalized in the cytoplasm. The sponging mechanism of circUSP34 and miR-16-5p was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and RNA pull down assays. Interestingly, the miR-16-5p inhibitor partly reversed the inhibitory effect of sh-circUSP34 on the malignancy of OS cells. Further, mice tumors for IHC indicated that vimentin, N-cadherin, and Ki-67 protein expression decreased, but E-cadherin protein expression increased. Collectively, circUSP34 promoted OS malignancy, including proliferation, migration, and invasion, by sponging miR-16-5p. It can serve as a potential therapeutic target and biomarker.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers globally and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths due to therapy resistance and metastasis. Understanding the mechanism underlying colorectal carcinogenesis is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of CRC. microRNAs (miRNAs) can act as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors in many cancers. A tumor suppressor role for miR-27b has recently been reported in neuroblastoma, while no information about miR-27b in CRC is available. In this study, we demonstrated that miR-27b expression is decreased in most CRC tissues and determined that overexpression of miR-27b represses CRC cell proliferation, colony formation and tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. We identified vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) as a novel target gene of miR-27b and determined that miR-27b functioned as an inhibitor of tumor progression and angiogenesis through targeting VEGFC in CRC. We further determined that DNA hypermethylation of miR-27b CpG islands decreases miR-27b expression. In summary, an anti-tumor role for miR-27b and its novel target VEGFC in vivo could lead to tumor necrosis and provide a rationale for developing miR-27b as a therapeutic agent.
