Long non-coding RNA CCAT1 promotes non-small cell lung cancer progression by regulating the miR-216a-5p/RAP2B axis.

ABSTRACT: The long non-coding RNA colon cancer-associated transcript 1 (CCAT1) has been investigated to involve in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Thus, this study aims to explore the detailed molecular mechanisms of CCAT1 in NSCLC. The expression of CCAT1, miR-216a-5p, RAP2B, Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase 3 was detected by qRT-PCR or Western blot. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were analyzed using cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry or Transwell assays, respectively. The interaction between miR-216a-5p and CCAT1 or RAP2B was analyzed by luciferase reporter, RNA immunoprecipitation, and pull-down assays. The expression of CCAT1 was elevated in NSCLC, and CCAT1 deletion could inhibit NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion but induce apoptosis in vitro as well as imped tumor growth in vivo. MiR-216a-5p was confirmed to be a target of CCAT1, and silencing miR-216a-5p could reverse CCAT1 depletion-mediated inhibitory effects on cell tumorigenesis in NSCLC. Besides that, miR-216a-5p was decreased in NSCLC, and miR-216a-5p restoration inhibited cell tumorigenesis by regulating RAP2B, which was verified to be a target of miR-216a-5p. Additionally, co-expression analysis suggested that CCAT1 indirectly regulated RAP2B level by targeting miR-216a-5p in NSCLC cells. Taken together, CCAT1 deletion could inhibit cell progression in NSCLC through miR-216a-5p/RAP2B axis, indicating a novel pathway underlying NSCLC cell progression and providing new potential targets for NSCLC treatment.

Project description:PurposeHepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer and the sixth largest common cancer worldwide. Although surgical resection, hepatic arterial chemoembolization, targeted drugs and immunotherapy are currently available, the mortality of advanced patients remains high. Therefore, new therapeutic targets are urgently needed. In recent years, many studies have found that The long non-coding RNA(lncRNA) has multiple functions in human tumors, including participating in epigenetic, transcriptional, post-transcriptional and translational regulation, and is closely related to the progression of HCC. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of AC006329.1 in HCC progression and provide theoretical guidance for finding new targets.Patients and methodsAC006329.1 was screened out by transcriptome sequencing and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Then a series of functional tests in vivo and in vitro were conducted to investigate the effects of AC006329.1 on HCC progression and metastasis. Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) of HCC was detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining. The targeted miRNA and downstream gene of AC006329.1 were predicted by databases and the pathway regulation axis eventually validated by dual luciferase reporter assays, qRT-PCR and WB.ResultsAC006329.1 was found high expressed in HCC tissues and cell lines by qRT-PCR. The prognosis of HCC patients with high expressed AC006329.1 was poor. In vitro and in vivo, overexpression of AC006329.1 can promote the progression, metastasis and EMT of HCC by acting as a sponge of miR-127-5p to increase the expression of SHC3. In addition, up-regulation of miR-127-5p or knockdown of SHC3 can both reverse the promoting effects of AC006329.1 on progression, metastasis and EMT of HCC. Finally, WB and qRT-PCR analysis was discovered that AC006329.1 can facilitate HCC progression, EMT and metastasis by competitively inhibiting miR-127-5p to activate SHC3/ERK signaling pathway.ConclusionThese above experimental results confirmed that AC006329.1 can facilitate HCC progression, EMT and metastasis by acting as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to inhibit miR-127-5p and activate SHC3/ERK signaling pathway.
