MALAT1-dependent hsa_circ_0076611 regulates translation rate in triple-negative breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGFA) is the most commonly expressed angiogenic growth factor in solid tumors and is generated as multiple isoforms through alternative mRNA splicing. Here, we show that lncRNA MALAT1 (metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1) and ID4 (inhibitor of DNA-binding 4) protein, previously referred to as regulators of linear isoforms of VEGFA, induce back-splicing of VEGFA exon 7, producing circular RNA circ_0076611. Circ_0076611 is detectable in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells and tissues, in exosomes released from TNBC cells and in the serum of breast cancer patients. Circ_0076611 interacts with a variety of proliferation-related transcripts, included MYC and VEGFA mRNAs, and increases cell proliferation and migration of TNBC cells. Mechanistically, circ_0076611 favors the expression of its target mRNAs by facilitating their interaction with components of the translation initiation machinery. These results add further complexity to the multiple VEGFA isoforms expressed in cancer cells and highlight the relevance of post-transcriptional regulation of VEGFA expression in TNBC cells.

Project description:BackgroundAs a type of new targets for prognosis of malignancies, long non-coding RNA MALAT1 (metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcription 1) is associated with proliferation and metastatic abilities of several malignancies. However, its relations to development and migration of triple negative and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) positive breast cancers haven't been reported.ObjectivesIn this paper, we aimed to discuss how MALAT1 is connected with and affects proliferation and invasion abilities of cells in Her-2 positive and triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC).MethodsThe expression of MALAT1 in clinical samples with TNBC and Her-2 positive breast cancers was tested by qRT-PCR. The statistical analysis was performed to unveil the potential relationships between the expression of MALAT1 and prognostic factors of breast cancer such as OS (overall survival), RFS (relapse-free survival), number of metastatic lymph nodes and pTNM staging in patients with TNBC or Her-2 positive breast cancer. MALAT1 and XBP1 were knockdown respectively in Her-2 positive cell line MDA-MB-231, and MALAT1 and Her-2 were knockdown respectively in TNBC cell line MDA-MD-435 using siRNA. The alterations of expressions of MALAT1 and related genes were detected by qRT-PCR in two breast cancer cell lines. The changes of proliferation abilities in two cell lines were observed using CCK8 assays. Furthermore, transwell assays were performed to detect changes to invasion abilities of the cells.ResultsThe expression of MALAT1 in triple negative and Her-2 positive breast cancers was positively correlated to the number of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer. MALAT1 promotes proliferation and invasion abilities of breast cancer cells through XBP1 (X-box binding protein 1)-HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor)-1α pathway in MDA-MB-231 and through Her-2 pathway in MDA-MD-435. Moreover, MALAT1 could possibly be involved in regulation of MYC gene and CD47 (an immune checkpoint gene) in both cell lines.ConclusionsOur study suggested that MALAT1 is a core signaling molecule for promoting development and migration of triple negative and Her-2 positive breast cancers. It would be employed as common markers for prognosis of the two types of breast cancer mentioned above and potential targets for treating them.
