MiR-490-5p suppresses tumour growth in renal cell carcinoma through targeting PIK3CA.

ABSTRACT: Dysregulated micro-RNAs have been reported in many human cancers, including renal cell carcinoma. Recent studies indicated that miR-490 is involved in tumour development and progression. However, the expression profile and function in renal cell carcinoma remains unknown.Herein, we showed that miR-490-5p was down-regulated in renal cell carcinoma tissues and cells compared with the adjacent normal tissues and normal cells. We also provided evidence that miR-490-5p acts as a tumour suppressor in renal carcinoma in a variety of in vitro and in vivo assays. Mechanistically, miR-490-5p was verified to directly bind to 3' UTR of the PIK3CA mRNA and reduce the expression of PIK3CA at both mRNA and protein levels, which further inhibits phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signalling pathway. We further showed that knockdown of PIK3CA can block the growth inhibitory effect of miR-490-5p, and over-expression of PIK3CA can reverse the inhibitory effect of miR-490-5p on renal cancer cell tumourigenicity.Taken together, our results indicated for the first time that miR-490-5p functions as a tumour suppressor in renal carcinoma by targeting PIK3CA.Our findings suggest that miR-490-5p may be a potential gene therapy target for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma.

circAMOTL1L Suppresses Renal Cell Carcinoma Growth by Modulating the miR-92a-2-5p/KLLN Pathway.

Project description:Accumulating evidence indicates that the dysregulation of circular RNAs (circRNAs) contributes to tumor progression; however, the regulatory functions of circRNAs in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain largely unknown. In this study, the function and underlying mechanism of circAMOTL1L in RCC progression were explored. qRT-PCR showed the downregulation of circAMOTL1L in RCC tissues and cell lines. The decrease in circAMOTL1L expression correlated with the tumor stage, metastasis, and poor prognosis in patients with RCC. Functional experiments revealed that circAMOTL1L inhibited cell proliferation and increased apoptosis in RCC cells. Subcutaneous implantation with circAMOTL1L-overexpressing cells in nude mice decreased the growth ability of the xenograft tumors. Mechanistically, circAMOTL1L served as a sponge for miR-92a-2-5p in upregulating KLLN (killin, p53-regulated DNA replication inhibitor) expression validated by bioinformatics analysis, oligo pull-down, and luciferase assays. Further, reinforcing the circAMOTL1L-miR-92a-2-5p-KLLN axis greatly reduced the growth of RCC in vivo. Conclusively, our findings demonstrate that circAMOTL1L has an antioncogenic role in RCC growth by modulating the miR-92a-2-5p-KLLN pathway. Thus, targeting the novel circAMOTL1L-miR-92a-2-5p-KLLN regulatory axis might provide a therapeutic strategy for RCC.

FOXA1 Suppresses the Growth, Migration, and Invasion of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Cells through Repressing miR-100-5p and miR-125b-5p.

Project description:Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a unique subtype of head and neck cancer, within highest incidence in South China and southeastern Asia but rare in other regions worldwide. FOXA1 is a pioneer factor implicated in various human malignancies. Downregulation of FOXA1 promotes NPC cells proliferation, invasiveness in vitro and tumorigenicity in vivo. However, it is remain elusive to determine whether microRNAs (miRNAs) regulated by FOXA1 contribute to NPC progression. Methods: In this study, differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs induced by FOXA1 expression were determined by microarray. Integrative miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks mediated by FOXA1 in NPC were established. The expressions of differentially expressed miRNAs in NPC cells were measured by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR. Cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assays. Cell migration and invasiveness were measured by Transwell assays. The correlation between miRNAs and its target mRNAs was analyzed. Results: FOXA1 suppressed the expression of miR-100-5p and miR-125b-5p in NPC cells. Silencing either miR-100-5p or miR-125b-5p inhibited the malignant behaviors of NPC cells, whereas re-expression of miR-100-5p or miR-125b-5p restored the malignancy of NPC cells repressed by FOXA1. Mechanistically, miR-100-5p or miR-125b-5p suppressed RASGRP3 or FOXN3 expression respectively via direct binding to its 3'-UTR. Furthermore, we demonstrated that FOXA1 induced RASGRP3 or FOXN3 expression via inhibiting miR-100-5p or miR-125b-5p. Upregulation of RASGRP3 or FOXN3 contributed to inhibition of NPC by FOXA1. We also demonstrated that the mRNA levels of RASGRP3 and FOXN3 are positively correlated with FOXA1. Conclusion: Our study provided evidence the first time that FOXA1 suppresses NPC cells via downregulation of miR-100-5p or miR-125b-5p.

miR-590-5p suppresses hepatocellular carcinoma chemoresistance by targeting YAP1 expression.

Project description:BackgroundResistance to chemotherapeutic treatment is a common phenomenon in cancers, especially in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The Hippo signaling pathway has been demonstrated to play a role in tumor initiation, development, and progression. However, little is known about its roles in the HCC chemoresistance.MethodsIn this study, real-time PCR and western blotting were used to identify the expression profile of key components of Hippo signaling pathway between chemoresistant and chemosensitive HCC cell lines. In vitro and in vivo loss- and gain-of-function studies were performed to reveal the effects and related mechanism of microRNA-590-5p/YAP1 axis in the chemoresistant phenotype of HCC cells.FindingsWe identified yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) as the major dysregulated molecules in adriamycin (ADR)-resistant HCC cells. YAP1 was profoundly implicated in the chemoresistant phenotype of HCC cells. Furthermore, microRNA-590-5p was revealed as a functional modulator of YAP1. Importantly, YAP1-mediated chemoresistant phenotype was closely related to increased expression of stemness markers and ATP-binding cassette transporters. HCC patients with poor response to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) treatment had higher protein level of YAP1 than that in the responsive patients.InterpretationThe microRNA-590-5p/YAP axis plays an important role in the chemotherapeutic resistance of HCC cells, suggesting new adjuvant chemotherapeutic directions in HCC.

miR-877-5p Suppresses Gastric Cancer Cell Proliferation Through Targeting FOXM1.

Project description:PurposemiR-877-5p has been reported as a tumor suppressor in multiple cancers. Its role in gastric cancer, however, remains unclear. Hence, the purpose of this study was to elucidate the function, and underlying molecular mechanism, of miR-877-5p in the development of gastric cancer.Materials and methodsWe first analyzed miR-877-5p expression using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and detected its expression in gastric cancer and gastric epithelial cells via real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). We then assessed the role of miR-877-5p in gastric cancer proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycling. The gene targeted by miR-877-5p was predicted by bioinformatic analysis and confirmed by dual luciferase assay. Subsequently, rescue assays were carried out to validate whether the miR-877-5p effects on gastric cancer growth are dependent on the proposed target gene.ResultsmiR-877-5p levels were lower in gastric cancer than in controls, based on the GEO and qRT-PCR analyses. Overexpression of miR-877-5p significantly inhibited cell growth and cell cycle progression, whereas it promoted apoptosis. Furthermore, forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) was predicted as a target of miR-877-5p, the overexpression of which diminished the suppressive effect that upregulation of miR-877-5p had on gastric cancer cells.ConclusionOur study results indicate that the miR-877-5p/FOXM1 axis plays an important role in gastric cancer progression, while suggesting miR-877-5p as a novel potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer.

MiR-106a-5p inhibits the cell migration and invasion of renal cell carcinoma through targeting PAK5.

Project description:MicroRNA-106a-5p (MiR-106a-5p), a small non-coding RNA, has been reported to be downregulated in astrocytoma, osteosarcoma and colorectal cancer. However, the expression levels and biological function in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have not been studied yet. In this study, we found that the miR-106a-5p was significantly downregulated in RCC tissues and cell lines, and that overexpression of miR-106a-5p led to decreased cell metastasis ability in a xenograft model. Inhibition of miR-106a-5p in RCC cell lines altered the cell migration, invasion and wound healing abilities. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that miR-106a-5p directly bound to the 3'-UTR of the PAK5 mRNA and mediated a decrease in the protein expression of PAK5. We further proved that PAK5 protein levels were negatively correlated with the miR-106a-5p expression in both patient samples and xenograft model. In epigenetics, methylation specific PCR experiments indicated that the upstream gene promoter of miR-106a-5p was hypermethylated in RCC, which might be responsible for its downregulation. Our findings suggested that miR-106a-5p might be a potential gene therapy target for the treatment of RCC metastasis.

MiR-183-5p promotes renal cell carcinoma metastasis by targeting TET1.

Project description:Ten-eleven translocation 1 (TET1) is a member of the DNA demethylase family that regulates the methylation level of the genome. Dysregulation of TET1 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) may be associated with RCC progression, but the mechanism of TET1 down-regulation in RCC is not yet known. MiR-183-5p is up-regulated in various tumor tissues and acts as an oncogene. We used Transwell and wound healing assays to test cell invasion and migration. To investigate DNA methylation, we used dot blot, which indicates TET1 enzyme activity. We verified the binding of miR-183-5p and TET1 3'-UTR (untranslated region) using dual-luciferase reporter assay. Our study demonstrated, for the first time, that miR-183-5p can directly repress TET1 expression in RCC. We observed a significant decrease in TET1 expression in RCC specimens, as reported in the literature, and a significant decrease in the concentration of 5hmC in RCC. By aligning the microRNA with a database and using the luciferase reporter gene method, we found that miR-183-5p can inhibit luciferase activity by binding to 453-459 bp of TET1 3'-UTR, leading to inhibition of TET1 expression. Furthermore, down-regulation of TET1 inhibited miR-200c expression and promoted RCC cell invasion and migration. Our findings suggest that in RCC, increased expression of miR-183-5p inhibits the expression of TET1, which in turn inhibits the expression of miR-200c and E-cadherin, both of which are associated with cell adhesion. This leads to the promotion of cell invasion and migration.

Circular RNA MYLK promotes tumour growth and metastasis via modulating miR-513a-5p/VEGFC signalling in renal cell carcinoma.

Project description:Growing evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are promising biomarkers, as they play significant roles in the development of various cancers. The circular RNA MYLK (circMYLK) has been reported to be involved in the development of malignant tumours, including liver, prostate and bladder cancers. Nevertheless, the biological function of circMYLK in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear. In this study, we observed that circMYLK is notably up-regulated in RCC. Increased circMYLK expression led to a larger tumour size, distant metastasis and poor prognosis of RCC patients. Moreover, circMYLK silencing repressed RCC growth and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, circMYLK can capture miR-513a-5p to facilitate VEGFC expression and further promote the tumorigenesis of RCC cells. In summary, our findings demonstrate that circMYLK has an oncogenic role in RCC growth and metastasis by modulating miR-513a-5p/VEGFC signalling. Thus, circMYLK has potential as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in the treatment of RCC.

miR-1207-5p suppresses lung cancer growth and metastasis by targeting CSF1.

Project description:We previously reported that miR-1207-5p can inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by growth factors such as EGF and TGF-β, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Here we identified that Colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) is a target gene of miR-1207-5p. CSF1 controls the production, differentiation and function of macrophage and promotes the release of proinflammatory chemokines. We showed that miR-1207-5p inhibited lung cancer cell A549 proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro, and suppressed the STAT3 and AKT signalings. miR-1207-5p overexpression can increase HUVEC angiogenesis, and can modulate the M2 phenotype of macrophage. miR-1207-5p also significantly inhibited A549 cells metastasis in a nude mouse xenograft model. miR-1207-5p and CSF1 expression levels and their relationship with lung cancer survival and metastasis status were assayed by means of a lung cancer tissue microarray. Macrophage is an essential part of the tumor microenvironment, thus the miR-1207-5p-CSF1 axis maybe a new regulator of lung cancer development through modulating the tumor microenvironment.

Circ_0102543 suppresses hepatocellular carcinoma progression through the miR-942-5p/SGTB axis.

Project description:IntroductionHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most serious cancers. Circular RNA (circRNA) has been reported to regulate the progression of HCC. Herein, the role of circ_0102543 in HCC tumorigenesis was investigated.MaterialsThe expression levels of circ_0102543, microRNA-942-5p (miR-942-5p), and small glutamine rich tetratricopeptide repeat co-chaperone beta (SGTB) were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay, thymidine analog 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU) assay, transwell assay, and flow cytometry were conducted to explore the function of circ_0102543 in HCC cells and the regulatory mechanism among circ_0102543, miR-942-5p and SGTB in HCC cells. Western blot examined the related protein levels.ResultsThe expression of circ_0102543 and SGTB was decreased in HCC tissues, while the expression of miR-942-5p was increased. Circ_0102543 acted as a sponge for miR-942-5p, and SGTB was the target of miR-942-5p. Circ_0102543 up-regulation hindered tumor growth in vivo. In vitro experiments showed that overexpression of circ_0102543 significantly repressed the malignant behaviors of HCC cells, while co-transfection of miR-942-5p partially attenuated these effects mediated by circ_0102543. In addition, SGTB knockdown increased the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells inhibited by miR-942-5p inhibitor. Mechanically, circ_0102543 regulated SGTB expression in HCC cells by sponging miR-942-5p.ConclusionOverexpression of circ_0102543 suppressed proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells by regulating the miR-942-5p/SGTB axis, suggesting that circ_0102543/miR-942-5p/SGTB axis may be a potential therapeutic target for HCC.

LncRNA NORAD promotes thyroid carcinoma progression through targeting miR-202-5p.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to have several functional roles in tumor biology, and they are deregulated in many types of cancer. The role of a novel lncRNA, NORAD, in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is still unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that NORAD expression was upregulated in PTC cell lines and samples. Ectopic expression of NORAD promoted PTC cell growth, invasion and migration. Overexpression of NORAD promotes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression in the PTC cell. Furthermore, overexpression of NORAD suppressed miR-202-5p expression in PTC cells. The data suggested that miR-202-5p expression was downregulated in PTC cell lines and samples and was negatively correlated with NORAD expression in PTC tissues. Overexpression of miR-202-5p suppressed PTC cell growth, invasion and migration. In addition, we demonstrated that elevated expression of NORAD promoted PTC cell growth, invasion and migration by inhibiting miR-202-5p expression. These results suggested that the lncRNA NORAD acts as an oncogene in PTC progression, partly by regulating miR-202-5p expression.
