Impact of Genetic Variants of Long Noncoding RNA Metastasis-Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1 on Uterine Cervical Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Genetic variants of long noncoding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (lncRNA MALAT1) have been reported to be associated with several cancers. Until now, no study reveals the associations between lncRNA MALAT1 polymorphisms and cervical cancer (CC). The objectives of this study were to explore the correlations among MALAT1 polymorphisms and occurrence and clinicopathological parameters of CC, as well as patient 5 years survival in Taiwanese women. The study recruited 116 patients with cervical invasive cancer and 89 patients with cervical precancerous lesions, as well as 268 non-cancer control women. LncRNA MALAT1 polymorphisms rs3200401, rs619586 and rs1194338 were selected and their genotypic frequencies were defined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Our results revealed that there are no relationships between lncRNA MALAT1 genetic variants and occurrence of CC. The independent factor among lncRNA MALAT1 genetic variants and clinicopathological parameters were positive pelvic lymph node metastasis (p=0.001, HR: 10.94, 95% CI: 2.65-45.23). In conclusions, lncRNA MALAT1 genetic variants are not related to occurrence and clinicopathological characteristics of CC and patient 5 years survival in Taiwanese women. Pelvic lymph node metastasis could independently predict the patient 5 years survival among various MALAT1 polymorphisms and clinicopathological factors in CC.

Project description:Evidence shows that the long noncoding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (Lnc-MALAT1) is associated with activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and liver fibrosis in animal and in vitro studies. However, its roles in human liver fibrosis and the underlying mechanism in HSC activation are not yet defined. In our current study, the expression of Lnc-MALAT1 in the fibrotic liver tissues and in the plasma extracelllar vesicles (EVs) of liver fibrosis patients was detected by FISH and qRT-PCR. The results revealed that enhanced expression of Lnc-MALAT1 was co-localized with increased expression of the fibrotic markers (collagen I and α-SMA) and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling proteins (β-catenin, cyclinD1 and c-myc) in the fibrotic liver tissues. The level of Lnc-MALAT1 in the plasma EVs isolated from 60 liver fibrosis patients was significantly increased compared with that of the 46 control patients, and area under receiver operating curve (AUROC) analysis showed that plasma EVs-Lnc-MALAT1 was a potential diagnostic marker for liver fibrosis, especially for high liver fibrosis. Plasma EVs with highly expressed Lnc-MALAT1 derived from high liver fibrosis patients up-regulated the expression of the fibrotic markers and enhanced the Wnt/β-catenin signaling in human hepatic stellate cells LX-2, and the fibrogenic effects in LX-2 were inhibited by Lnc-MALAT1 knock-down. Interestingly, TGF-β1, a potent pro-fibrotic cytokine, promoted the expression of Lnc-MALAT1 in LX-2 and its pro-fibrotic effects were also abolished by siRNA for Lnc-MALAT1, suggesting that Lnc-MALAT1 probably functions as a common mediator in the activation and fibrogenesis of HSCs. Our results indicate that enhanced expression of Lnc-MALAT1 in the fibrotic liver stimulate the activation of HSCs and thus promote their fibrogenic activity. These results also provide evidences that Lnc-MALAT1 is a potential therapeutic target and plasma EVs-Lnc-MALAT1 is a potential diagnostic biomarker for liver fibrosis.

Project description:BackgroundGenomic instability is one of the representative features of cancer evolution. Recent research has revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in maintaining genomic instability. Our work proposed a gene signature (GILncSig) based on genomic instability-derived lncRNAs to probe the possibility of lncRNA signatures as an index of genomic instability, providing a potential new approach to identify genomic instability-related cancer biomarkers.MethodsLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) gene expression data from an RNA-seq FPKM dataset, somatic mutation information and relevant clinical materials were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). A prognostic model consisting of genomic instability-related lncRNAs was constructed, termed GILncSig, to calculate the risk score. We validated GILncSig using data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. In this study, we used R software for data analysis.ResultsThrough univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, five genomic instability-associated lncRNAs (LINC01671, LINC01116, LINC01214, lncRNA PTCSC3, and LINC02555) were identified. We constructed a lncRNA signature (GILncSig) related to genomic instability. LUAD patients were classified into two risk groups by GILncSig. The results showed that the survival rate of LUAD patients in the low-risk group was higher than that of those in the high-risk group. Then, we verified GILncSig in the GEO database. GILncSig was associated with the genomic mutation rate of LUAD. We also used GILncSig to divide TP53 mutant-type patients and TP53 wild-type patients into two groups and performed prognostic analysis. The results suggested that compared with TP53 mutation status, GILncSig may have better prognostic significance.ConclusionsBy combining the lncRNA expression profiles associated with somatic mutations and the corresponding clinical characteristics of LUAD, a lncRNA signature (GILncSig) related to genomic instability was established.
