MicroRNA-653-5p Promotes Gastric Cancer Proliferation and Metastasis by Targeting the SOCS6-STAT3 Pathway.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as significant regulators of the tumorigenesis of gastric cancer (GC), and may be effective biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic targeting for GC. In this study, miR-653-5p was found to be significantly upregulated in GC tissues, serum, and cell lines and was strongly associated with poor prognosis in patients with GC. Furthermore, miR-653-5p promoted GC cell proliferation and metastasis in vivo and in vitro. Suppressor of cytokine signaling 6 (SOCS6) was directly targeted by miR-653-5p, and SOCS6 attenuated miR-653-5p-mediated GC cell growth, migration, and invasion. In addition, SOCS6-mediated inactivation of the Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway was also reversed by the administration of miR-653-5p. The findings from this study support a novel regulatory axis between miR-653-5p, SOCS6, and JAK2/STAT3 that may be a target for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention for GC.

Project description:BackgroundBreast cancer is the most common cancer type in female. As microRNAs play vital role in breast cancer, this study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism and clinical value of miR-21 in breast cancer.MethodsqRT-PCR was performed to detect miR-21 levels in plasma of 127 healthy controls, 82 benign breast tumor, 252 breast cancer patients, as well as in breast cancer cell lines. Transwell and wound healing assay were used to analyze breast cancer metastasis in response to miR-21 inhibitor. Colony formation and eFluor™ 670 based flow cytometric analysis were used to test breast cancer proliferation following miR-21 inhibitor treatment. Leucine zipper transcription factor-like 1 (LZTFL1), the target gene of miR-21 was predicted by MIRDB, TargetScan 5.1, PicTar and miRanda. Survival analysis of LZTFL1 levels in breast cancer prognosis was estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method by log-rank test according to data from the Cancer Genome Atlas. Luciferase activity assay was performed to confirm the regulation of miR-21 on LZTFL1. LZTFL1 siRNA and miR-21 inhibitor were co-transfected to breast cancer cells, then cell proliferation, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) makers were tested. BALB/c nude mice were injected in situ with Hs578T cells stably overexpressing miR-21. Breast tumor growth, metastasis and the expression of EMT markers or LZTFL1 were detected in vivo.ResultsPlasma miR-21 levels were elevated in breast cancer patients compared with healthy controls and benign breast tumor patients, and the miR-21 levels were significantly decreased after surgery comparing with pre operation in 44 patients. Inhibition of miR-21 suppressed cell proliferation and metastasis in breast cancer cells. LZTFL1 was identified as a novel target gene of miR-21. Knockdown of LZTFL1 overcame the suppression of miR-21 inhibitor on cell proliferation, metastasis and the expression of EMT markers in breast cancer cells. miR-21 overexpression promoted breast cancer cell proliferation and metastasis in vivo.ConclusionsThese results indicate that plasma miR-21 level is a crucial biomarker for breast cancer diagnosis and targeting miR-21-LZTFL1-EMT axis might be a promising strategy in breast cancer therapy.Trial registrationRetrospectively registered.
