Regulatory mechanisms and function of hypoxia-induced long noncoding RNA NDRG1-OT1 in breast cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Hypoxia is a classic feature of the tumor microenvironment that has profound effects on cancer progression and is tightly associated with poor prognosis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), a component of the noncoding genome, have been increasingly investigated due to their diverse roles in tumorigenesis. Previously, a hypoxia-induced lncRNA, NDRG1-OT1, was identified in MCF-7 breast cancer cells using next-generation sequencing. However, the regulatory mechanisms of NDRG1-OT1 remain elusive. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the regulatory mechanisms and functional roles of NDRG1-OT1 in breast cancer cells. Expression profiling of NDRG1-OT1 revealed that it was upregulated under hypoxia in different breast cancer cells. Overexpression and knockdown of HIF-1α up- and downregulated NDRG1-OT1, respectively. Luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays validated that HIF-1α transcriptionally activated NDRG1-OT1 by binding to its promoter (-1773 to -1769 and -647 to -643 bp). Next, to investigate whether NDRG1-OT1 could function as a miRNA sponge, results of in silico analysis, expression profiling of predicted miRNAs, and RNA immunoprecipitation assays indicated that NDRG1-OT1 could act as a miRNA sponge of miR-875-3p. In vitro and in vivo functional assays showed that NDRG1-OT1 could promote tumor growth and migration. Lastly, a small peptide (66 a.a.) translated from NDRG1-OT1 was identified. In summary, our findings revealed novel regulatory mechanisms of NDRG1-OT1 by HIF-1α and upon miR-875-3p. Also, NDRG1-OT1 promoted the malignancy of breast cancer cells and encoded a small peptide.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been implicated in the regulation of adipocyte and osteoblast differentiation. However, the functional contributions of LncRNAs to adipocyte or osteoblast differentiation remain largely unexplored. In the current study we have identified a novel LncRNA named peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1β-OT1 (PGC1β-OT1). The expression levels of PGC1β-OT1 were altered during adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation from progenitor cells. 5'- and 3'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) revealed that PGC1β-OT1 is 1759 nt in full length. Overexpression of PGC1β-OT1 in progenitor cells inhibited adipogenic differentiation, whereas silencing of endogenous PGC1β-OT1 induced adipogenic differentiation. By contrast, overexpression of PGC1β-OT1 in progenitor cells stimulated, whereas silencing of PGC1β-OT1 inhibited osteogenic differentiation. In vivo experiment showed that silencing of endogenous PGC1β-OT1 in marrow stimulated fat accumulation and decreased osteoblast differentiation in mice. Mechanism investigations revealed that PGC1β-OT1 contains a functional miR-148a-3p binding site. Overexpression of the mutant PGC1β-OT1 with mutation at the binding site failed to regulate either adipogenic or osteogenic differentiation. In vivo crosslinking combined with affinity purification studies demonstrated that PGC1β-OT1 physically associated with miR-148a-3p through the functional miR-148a-3p binding site. Furthermore, PGC1β-OT1 affected the expression of endogenous miR-148a-3p and its target gene lysine-specific demethylase 6b (KDM6B). Supplementation of miR-148a-3p in progenitor cells blocked the inhibitory effect of PGC1β-OT1 on adipocyte formation. Moreover, overexpression of Kdm6b restored the osteoblast differentiation which was inhibited by silencing of endogenous PGC1β-OT. Our studies provide evidences that the novel LncRNA PGC1β-OT1 reciprocally regulates adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation through antagonizing miR-148a-3p and enhancing KDM6B effect.
