Hsa_circ_0003258 promotes prostate cancer metastasis by complexing with IGF2BP3 and sponging miR-653-5p.

ABSTRACT:

Background

More and more studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a critical regulatory role in many cancers. However, the potential molecular mechanism of circRNAs in prostate cancer (PCa) remains largely unknown.

Methods

Differentially expressed circRNAs were identified by RNA sequencing. The expression of hsa_circ_0003258 was evaluated using quantitative real-time PCR and RNA in situ hybridization. The impacts of hsa_circ_0003258 on the metastasis of PCa cells were investigated by a series of in vitro and in vivo assays. Lastly, the underlying mechanism of hsa_circ_0003258 was revealed by Western blot, biotin-labeled RNA pulldown, RNA immunoprecipitation, luciferase assays and rescue experiments.

Results

Increased expression of hsa_circ_0003258 was found in PCa tissues and was associated with advanced TNM stage and ISUP grade. Overexpression of hsa_circ_0003258 promoted PCa cell migration by inducing epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT) in vitro as well as tumor metastasis in vivo, while knockdown of hsa_circ_0003258 exerts the opposite effect. Mechanistically, hsa_circ_0003258 could elevate the expression of Rho GTPase activating protein 5 (ARHGAP5) via sponging miR-653-5p. In addition, hsa_circ_0003258 physically binds to insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) in the cytoplasm and enhanced HDAC4 mRNA stability, in which it activates ERK signalling pathway, then triggers EMT programming and finally accelerates the metastasis of PCa.

Conclusions

Upregulation of hsa_circ_0003258 drives tumor progression through both hsa_circ_0003258/miR-653-5p/ARHGAP5 axis and hsa_circ_0003258/IGF2BP3 /HDAC4 axis. Hsa_circ_0003258 may act as a promising biomarker for metastasis of PCa and an attractive target for PCa intervention.

Project description:BackgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) often occurs in children and adolescents and is highly malignant. Analyzing the pathogenesis of OS has great significance for prognosis and the discovery of new treatment strategies.MethodsThe effects and mechanism of circular RNA (circRNA) on OS were analyzed, as was the correlation between circRASSF2 and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) in data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The expression levels of microRNA (miR)-6838-5p and circRASSF2 in OS cells and osteoblasts were detected. The dual luciferase report was used to verify the targeting relationship. OS cells overexpressing circRASSF2, miR-6838-5p and/or IGF1R were constructed. The expression level of IGF1R and the biological behavior of the cells were detected. Eighty-two pairs of OS tissue and adjacent normal tissue samples were collected, and the levels of circRASSF2, miR-6838-5p, and IGF1R mRNA were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR).ResultsCompared with osteoblasts, OS cells showed lower expression of miR-6838-5p and higher expression of circRASSF2. The dual luciferase report confirmed that miR-6838-5p targeted IGF1R. Overexpression of IGF1R significantly blocked the anticancer effects of miR-6838-5p. The dual luciferase report verified that circRASSF2 targeted miR-6838-5p, and promoted the expression of IGF1R. Overexpression of circRASSF2 not only promoted the malignant biological behavior of OS cells, but also blocked the anticancer effects of miR-6838-5p. In OS tissue, circRASSF2 and IGF1R were upregulated, and the two were positively correlated. MiR-6838-5p was downregulated, which negatively correlated with both circRASSF2 and IGF1R. High levels of circRASSF2 were associated with higher stage and metastasis of OS.ConclusionsIn conclusion, the promoting effects of IGF1R on OS are targeted by miR-6838-5p. CircRASSF2 restored the expression of IGF1R by sponging miR-6838-5p, thereby promoting the progression of OS.

Project description:BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is currently the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in tumor occurrence and development as crucial cancer regulators. The present study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism and regulatory network of Linc00511 in LUAD and to identify new potential therapeutic targets for LUAD.MethodsReal-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to determine the relative Linc00511 levels in LUAD tissues and cells. The proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion abilities of LUAD cells were assessed by a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, a colony formation assay, flow cytometry, and a Transwell assay. Changes in hsa_miR-126-5p, hsa_miR-218-5p, and COL1A1 expression were analyzed using western blotting and RT-qPCR. Targeted binding between miR-126-5p/miR-218-5p and Linc00511 or COL1A1 was verified with a luciferase reporter system and confirmed by an RNA pulldown assay. The participation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was confirmed via western blotting. Xenograft animal experiments were performed to detect the impact of Linc00511 on LUAD tumor growth in vivo.ResultsIn the present work, we observed that Linc00511 was upregulated in LUAD tissues and cells. Loss/gain-of-function experiments indicated that knockdown of Linc00511 significantly inhibited LUAD cell proliferation, migration and invasion and promoted LUAD cell apoptosis, whereas overexpression of Linc00511 showed the opposite effects. In addition, we determined that Linc00511 promoted COL1A1-mediated cell proliferation and cell motility by sponging miR-126-5p and miR-218-5p. Moreover, Linc00511 activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway through upregulation of COL1A1. Finally, silencing of Linc00511 inhibited LUAD tumor growth in vivo.ConclusionsLinc00511 acts as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate COL1A1 by targeting miR-126-5p and miR-218-5p, thereby promoting the proliferation and invasion of LUAD cells.
