Downregulation of miR-335 exhibited an oncogenic effect via promoting KDM3A/YAP1 networks in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of renal cancer affecting many people worldwide. Although the 5-year survival rate is 65% in localized disease, after metastasis, the survival rate is <10%. Emerging evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial regulatory role in the progression of ccRCC. Here, we show that miR-335, an anti-onco-miRNA, is downregulation in tumor tissue and inhibited ccRCC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Our studies further identify the H3K9me1/2 histone demethylase KDM3A as a new miR-335-regulated gene. We show that KDM3A is overexpressed in ccRCC, and its upregulation contributes to the carcinogenesis and metastasis of ccRCC. Moreover, with the overexpression of KDM3A, YAP1 was increased and identified as a direct downstream target of KDM3A. Enrichment of KDM3A demethylase on YAP1 promoter was confirmed by CHIP-qPCR and YAP1 was also found involved in the cell growth and metastasis inhibitory of miR-335. Together, our study establishes a new miR-335/KDM3A/YAP1 regulation axis, which provided new insight and potential targeting of the metastasized ccRCC.

Project description:BackgroundNuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 4 (NR1H4) have been reported in various cancer types, however, little is known about the clinical values and biological function in clear cell Renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).MethodsThe expression pattens of NR1H4 in ccRCC were investigated in clinical specimens, cell lines and publicly‑available databases. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, 5-ethynyl-2' -deoxyuridine (EdU), transwell and cell wound healing assays were performed to assess the biological functions of NR1H4 in 786-O ccRCC cells. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), Flow Cytometry, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), western blot and immunofluorescence were performed to explore the molecular mechanism of NR1H4 in ccRCC. We explored the early diagnostic value, prognostic value, genetic mutation and DNA methylation of NR1H4 by a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis based on the data published in the following databases: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Kaplan-Meier Plotter, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA CRUZ Xena (UCSC Xena), cBio Cancer Genomics Portal, MethSurv, SurvivalMeth and The University of ALabama at Birmingham CANcer data analysis Portal (UALCAN). Its correlation with tumor-infiltrating immune cells in ccRCC was analyzed by Tumor Immune Estimation Resource 2.0 (TIMER2.0) and Tumor Immune System Interactions Database (TISIDB).ResultsIn this study, NR1H4 was found to be highly expressed in ccRCC tissues and ccRCC cell lines. Knockdown of NR1H4 significantly suppressed cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Mechanistically, tumor-associated signaling pathways were enriched in the NR1H4 overexpression group and si-NR1H4 could induce the downregulation of Cyclin E2 (CCNE2). By bioinformatics analysis, NR1H4 was identified as highly expressed in stage I ccRCC with a high diagnostic accuracy (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve > 0.8). Genetic alteration and DNA methylation of NR1H4 were significantly associated with prognosis in ccRCC patients. Moreover, NR1H4 expression associated with immune cell infiltration levels in ccRCC, which provides a new idea for immunotherapy.ConclusionsOur study indicated that NR1H4 might be a potential tumor biomarker and therapeutic target for ccRCC which could promote cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion via regulating CCNE2.

Project description:Clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRC) comprises a set of heterogeneous, fast-progressing pathologies with poor prognosis. Analyzing ccRC progression in terms of modifications at the molecular level may provide us with a broader understanding of the disease, paving the way for improved diagnostics and therapeutics. The role of micro-RNAs (miRs) in cancer by targeting both oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes is widely known. Despite this knowledge, the role of specific miRs and their targets in the progression of ccRC is still unknown. To evaluate the action of miRs and their target genes during ccRC progression, here we implemented a three-step method for constructing miR-gene co-expression networks for each progression stage of ccRC as well as for adjacent-normal renal tissue (NT). In the first step, we inferred all miR-gene co-expression interactions for each progression stage of ccRC and for NT. Afterwards, we filtered the whole miR-gene networks by differential gene and miR expression between successive stages: stage I with non-tumor, stage II with stage I, and so on. Finally, all miR-gene interactions whose relationships were inversely proportional (overexpressed miR and underexpressed genes and vice versa) were kept and removed otherwise. We found that miR-217 is differentially expressed in all contrasts; however, its targets were different depending on the ccRC stage. Furthermore, the target genes of miR-217 have a known role in cancer progression-for instance, in stage II network, GALNTL6 is overexpressed, and it is related to cell signaling, survival, and proliferation. In the stage III network, WNK2, a widely known tumor suppressor, is underexpressed. For the stage IV network, IGF2BP2, a post-transcriptional regulator of MYC and PTEN, is overexpressed. This data-driven network approach has allowed us to discover miRs that have different targets through ccRC progression, thus providing a method for searching possible stage-dependent therapeutic targets in this and other types of cancer.
