Hypoxia induces docetaxel resistance in triple-negative breast cancer via the HIF-1α/miR-494/Survivin signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT: Cytotoxic chemotherapy is the major strategy to prevent and reduce triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) progression and metastasis. Hypoxia increases chemoresistance and is associated with a poor prognosis for patients with cancer. Based on accumulating evidence, microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in acquired drug resistance. However, the role of miRNAs in hypoxia-induced TNBC drug resistance remains to be clarified. Here, we found that hypoxia induced TNBC docetaxel resistance by decreasing the miR-494 level. Modulating miR-494 expression altered the sensitivity of TNBC cells to DTX under hypoxic conditions. Furthermore, we identified Survivin as a direct miR-494 target. Hypoxia upregulated survivin expression. In a clinical study, the HIF-1α/miR-494/Survivin signaling pathway was also active in primary human TNBC, and miR-494 expression negatively correlated with HIF-1α and survivin expression. Finally, in a xenograft model, both miR-494 overexpression and the HIF-1α inhibitor PX-478 increased the sensitivity of TNBC to DTX by suppressing the HIF-1α/miR-494/Survivin signaling pathway in vivo. In conclusion, treatments targeting the HIF-1α/miR-494/Survivin signaling pathway potentially reverse hypoxia-induced drug resistance in TNBC.

Project description:Background Few reports have addressed the mechanism by which microRNA miR-10b-5p regulates post-myocardial infarction (post-MI) cardiomyocyte apoptosis under hypoxic conditions. Methods and Results C57BL/6 mice underwent surgical ligation of the left anterior descending artery to create an MI or ischemia/reperfusion animal model. The expression of miR-10b-5p, PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog), and HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor 1α) was detected in infarct border zone tissues at various time points. After precordial injections of the negative control or miR-10b-5p, overexpression lentiviruses were made in the areas surrounding the MI sites at 1 week, and myocardial infarct size, cardiac function, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were examined. A miR-10b-5p mimic was transfected into primary mouse cardiomyocytes to analyze its effects on cardiomyocyte apoptosis and PTEN expression. Meanwhile, PTEN as a target of miR-10b-5p was verified via luciferase reporter gene assays. Cotransfection of miR-10b-5 and PTEN verified the relationship between miR-10b-5 and PTEN. Under hypoxic stress, the expression of HIF-1α and miR-10b-5p was examined. The results showed that miR-10b-5p expression was markedly reduced in the infarct border zone. Overexpression of miR-10b-5p in the murine model of MI significantly reduced MI size, improved cardiac function, and inhibited apoptosis. Overexpression of miR-10b-5p in vitro antagonized hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and specifically inhibited the expression of the apoptosis-related gene PTEN, but overexpression of PTEN weakened these effects. We also found that hypoxia-induced accumulation of HIF-1α resulted in decreased expression of miR-10b-5p. Interfering with the activation of the HIF-1α signaling pathway promoted Pri-miR-10b and miR-10b-5p expression and inhibited PTEN expression. Conclusions MicroRNA miR-10b-5p antagonizes hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, indicating that miR-10b-5p may serve as a potential future clinical target for the treatment of MI.
