Tumor promoting effect of long non-coding RNA RP11-556E13.1 and its clinical significance as a prognostic factor in hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The aim of this study was to reveal the function of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) RP11-556E13.1 (RP11) and its clinical significance in hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: LncRNA and mRNA expression profiling was performed using lncRNA and mRNA microarrays in 5 pairs of HCC and adjacent tissues. 112 paired HCC and adjacent tissue samples were analyzed by semiquantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (sqRT-PCR) to evaluate the expression of RP11 and its possible associated clinical significance. Smart silencer RNA (siRNA) was used to knockdown the expression of RP11 in HCC cells. After knockdown, the function of RP11 was determined in vitro using some kinds of cell functional experiments in HCC cells including cell proliferation assay, cell apoptosis assay and cell cycle assay. Western blotting (WB) was performed to detect proteins that were presumably associated with these functional changes. An Affymetrix Human HTA2.0 microarray was used to detect differentially expressed genes in HCC cells after RP11 knockdown. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were then performed to elucidate the biological roles of these differentially expressed mRNAs.

Project description:Through deep RNA-seq of human monocyte-derived macrophages, we identified RP11-184M15.1, a human macrophage-specific lincRNA, to be highly induced in the cytoplasm of IL-4-stimulated macrophage. Preliminary data showed that treatment of IL-4-stimulated THP1 human macrophages with RP11-184M15.1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) repressed apoptosis of resolving macrophages, as shown by decreased Annexin V+ macrophages, and reduced protein expression of cleaved PARP. Biotinylated RP11-184M15.1 pulldown coupled with mass spectrometry indicated an interaction between RP11-184M15.1 and zinc finger RNA-binding protein (ZFR). RIP corroborated the proposed interaction between RP11-184M15.1 and ZFR. RNAInter revealed mRNAs predicted to interact with ZFR, and some of those genes (e.g., ALYREF, CCNYL1) were also differentially expressed in RNA-seq data of control versus RP11-184M15.1 knockdown in IL-4-stimulated THP1 macrophages. qPCR validated that ALYREF and CCNYL1 expression are reduced with RP11-184M15.1 knockdown. In contrast, with ZFR siRNA, ALYREF and CCNYL1 mRNA expressions were elevated. Thus, a hypothesis to be further tested is that RP11-184M15.1 interacts with ZFR to regulate mRNA stability in IL-4-stimulated macrophages. Nuclear RNA export factor 1 (NXF1) was also validated by RIP to interact with RP11-184M15.1. NXF1 is a known interacting partner of ALYREF in the transcription-export (TREX) complex. With RP11-184M15.1 knockdown, the protein level of ALYREF decreased, and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) of RNA-seq data of control versus RP11-184M15.1 knockdown revealed that THO complex subunit 5 homolog (THOC5), another component of the TREX complex, may be an upstream regulator. In addition, past studies have revealed that ALYREF and NXF1 are involved in nuclear export of inflammatory mRNAs and proinflammatory macrophage phenotype, respectively. With RP11-184M15.1 knockdown, there was decreased expression of inflammatory macrophage-associated genes. It may be possible that RP11-184M15.1 functions in mRNA export, along with NXF1 and ALYREF.
