The miR-28-5p targetome discovery identified SREBF2 as one of the mediators of the miR-28-5p tumor suppressor activity in prostate cancer cells


ABSTRACT: miR-28-5p is downregulated in some tumor tissues in which it has been demonstrated to have a tumor suppressor (TS) activity. Here, we demonstrate that miR-28-5p acts as a TS in prostate cancer (PCa) cells affecting cell proliferation/survival as well as migration and invasion. Using the miRNA pull out assay and next generation sequencing we collected the complete repertoire of miR-28-5p targets obtaining a data set (miR-28-5p targetome) of 191 mRNAs. Filtering the targetome with TargetScan 7, PITA and RNA22 we found that the 61% of the transcripts had miR-28-5p binding sites. To assign a functional value to the captured transcripts, we grouped the miR-28-5p targets into gene families with annotated function and showed that six transcripts belong to the transcription factor category. Among them we selected SREBF2, a gene with increasing importance in PCa. We validated miR-28-5p/SREBF2 interaction demonstrating that SREBF2 inhibition affects almost all the tumor processes affected by the miR-28-5p re-expression, suggesting that SREBF2 is an important mediator of miR-28-5p TS activity. Our findings support the identification of the targetome of cancer-related miRNAs as a tool to discover genes and pathways fundamental for tumor development and potential new targets for anti-tumor therapy.
