The circ_0004463/miR-380-3p/FOXO1 axis modulates mitochondrial respiration and bladder cancer cell apoptosis.

ABSTRACT: Bladder cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed and fatal malignancies of the urinary tract. Noncoding RNAs have been reported to be new biomarkers and effective treatment targets for bladder cancer. In the present study, we identified a novel bladder cancer-related circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network, the circ_0004463/miR-380-3p/FOXO1 axis. circ_0004463 is significantly downregulated, whereas miR-380-3p is upregulated in bladder carcinoma tissue samples and cells. circ_0004463 acts as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting bladder cancer cell proliferation. Genes that negatively correlated with miR-380-3p and genes that miR-380-3p might target are enriched in mitochondrial respiration chain-related pathways. miR-380-3p promotes the proliferation of bladder cancer cells and mitochondrial respiration by acting as an oncogenic miRNA. circ_0004463 competes with FOXO1 for miR-380-3p binding to counteract miR-380-3p-mediated repression of FOXO1. Circ_0004463 overexpression inhibits cancer cell proliferation and mitochondrial respiration in bladder cancer cell lines, while miR-380-3p overexpression dramatically reverses the roles of circ_0004463 overexpression. In conclusion, the circ_0004463/miR-380-3p/FOXO1 axis could regulate mitochondrial respiration and bladder cancer cell apoptosis via FOXO1 signaling.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Melanocytes are derived from neural crest stem cells in the embryonic stage. In mature melanocytes, a series of complex enzyme-catalyzed reactions leads to the production of melanins, which determine the hair and skin colors of animals. The process of melanogenesis is complex and can be regulated by mRNA, microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) genes. MiRNAs are a type of endogenous noncoding RNA approximately 22 nt in size that predominantly regulate gene expression by inhibiting translation. miR-380-3p is a candidate miRNA potentially related to melanogenesis. To better understand the mechanism of miR-380-3p melanogenesis regulation, plasmids to overexpress or knockdown miR-380-3p were transfected into alpaca melanocytes, and their effects on melanogenesis were evaluated. RESULTS:In situ hybridization identified a positive miR-380-3p signal in alpaca melanocyte cytoplasm. Luciferase activity assays confirmed that SOX6 is targeted by miR-380-3p. miR-380-3p overexpression and knockdown in alpaca melanocytes respectively downregulated and upregulated SOX6 expression at the mRNA and protein levels. Additionally, miR-380-3p overexpression and knockdown, respectively, in alpaca melanocytes decreased and increased the mRNA levels of melanin transfer-related genes, including microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase (TYR), tyrosine-related protein-1 (TYRP1), and dopachrome tautomerase (DCT). In contrast, miR-380-3p overexpression and knockdown respectively increased and decreased the mRNA levels of β-catenin. Additionally, the effect of miR-380-3p on melanogenesis was assessed by Masson-Fontana melanin staining. CONCLUSIONS:The results demonstrated that miR-380-3p targeted SOX6 to regulate melanogenesis by influencing β-catenin and MITF transcription and translation, which reduced the expression of downstream genes, including TYR, TYRP1, and DCT. These results provide insights into the mechanisms through which miR-380-3p controls melanogenesis.
