Long non-coding RNA RP11-480I12.5 promotes cervical carcinoma progression by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT: The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), RP11-480I12.5 is one of the most dysregulated lncRNAs, which is believed to contribute to the progression of cervical carcinoma (CC); however, the exact function of RP11-480I12.5 in human CC remains unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the function and underlying molecular mechanism of RP11-480I12.5 in CC. First, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was implemented in order to detect differences in the expression of RP11-480I12.5 between normal and CC tissues. The present study used in vitro analysis to establish RP11-480I12.5 stable knockdown and overexpressing cell lines, in order to investigate the function and potential molecular mechanism of RP11-480I12.5 in the progression of CC. RP11-480I12.5 was upregulated in CC tissue compared with normal tissue. Furthermore, RP11-480I12.5 was associated with clinical stage, tumor size and lymph node metastasis. RP11-480I12.5 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of CC cell lines. Subsequently, the present study investigated the association between RP11-480I12.5 and the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. RP11-480I12.5 promoted EMT through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Overall, the results of the present study demonstrate that RP11-480I12.5 promotes cercical cancer cell migration, invasion and EMT through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Project description:BackgroundStudies have shown that cancer susceptibility candidate 11 (CASC11), a newly discovered long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), was aberrantly overexpressed in hepatic carcinoma, gastric cancer and colorectal cancer. However, its effects on cervical cancer has been kept unknown up to now. The present study was aimed to investigate the relationship between lncRNA CASC11 and cervical cancer and further explore the mechanism of CASC11 effect on cervical cancer progression.MaterialsQuantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expressions of CASC11 in cancerous and adjacent normal tissues of patients with cervical cancer as well as in cell lines. The proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis were assayed after transfecting the cell with si-CASC11 or pcDNA3.1-CASC11. TOP/FOP-Flash luciferase reporter assay and western blot were used to analysis the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Si-CASC11-transfected HeLa cells were subcutaneously inoculated into male athymic (nude) mice to investigate the effect of CASC11 on the tumor formation.ResultsWe discovered that CASC11, the expression of which was positively associated with the tumor size and the FIGO staging and negatively related to the patients' survival rate, was up-regulated in the cervical cancer tissues and cell lines. Silencing CASC11 inhibited the proliferation, migration as well as invasion and promoted the cell apoptosis. Conversely, overexpression of CASC11 facilitated the cancer cell's proliferation, migration and invasion ability and suppressed the apoptosis. Further study showed that CASC11 promoted the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and silencing CASC11 inhibited the tumor growth in vivo.ConclusionOur study demonstrated that CASC11 promoted the cervical cancer progression by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway for the first time, which provides a new target or a potential diagnostic biomarker of the treatment for cervical cancer.

Project description:BackgroundThe expression of forkhead box protein H1 (FOXH1) is frequently upregulated in various cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the association between FOXH1 expression and lung cancer progression still remain poorly understood. Thus, the main objective of this study is to explore the role of FOXH1 in lung cancer.MethodsThe Cancer Genome Atlas dataset was used to investigate FOXH1 expression in lung cancer tissues, and the Kaplan-Meier plotter dataset was used to determine the role of FOXH1 in patient prognosis. A549 and PC9 cells were transfected with short hairpin RNA targeting FOXH1 mRNA. The Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, soft agar, wound healing, transwell invasion and flow cytometry assays were performed to evaluate proliferation, migration and invasion of lung cancer cells. Tumorigenicity was examined in a BALB/c nude mice model. Western blot analysis was performed to assess the molecular mechanisms, and β-catenin activity was measured by a luciferase reporter system assay.ResultsHigher expression level of FOXH1 was observed in tumor tissue than in normal tissue, and this was associated with poor overall survival. Knockdown of FOXH1 significantly inhibited lung cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and cycle. In addition, the mouse xenograft model showed that knockdown of FOXH1 suppressed tumor growth in vivo. Further experiments revealed that FOXH1 depletion inhibited the epithelial-mesenchymal transition of lung cancer cells by downregulating the expression of mesenchymal markers (Snail, Slug, matrix metalloproteinase-2, N-cadherin, and Vimentin) and upregulating the expression of an epithelial marker (E-cadherin). Moreover, knockdown of FOXH1 significantly downregulated the activity of β-catenin and its downstream targets, p-GSK-3β and cyclin D1.ConclusionFOXH1 exerts oncogenic functions in lung cancer through regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. FOXH1 might be a potential therapeutic target for patients with certain types of lung cancer.
