Upregulation of Dicer expression by calcitriol induces microRNAs with potential tumor-suppressive effects in cancer cervical cells

ABSTRACT: Dicer is a key endoribonuclease of the microRNA biogenetic machinery. Downregulation of Dicer has been associated with aberrant expression of microRNAs and the promotion of tumorigenesis. Calcitriol, the hormonal form of vitamin D3, increases microRNA expression in tumor cells, but the mechanism is not yet understood. Given the essential role of Dicer in microRNAs biogenesis, the purpose of this study was to evaluate whether this gene is a target for calcitriol and to explore the effects of this hormone on microRNA expression. Our findings demonstrate that calcitriol increased Dicer mRNA and protein in SiHa and HeLa cervical cancer cells, which expressed the vitamin D receptor. The inductive effect of calcitriol on Dicer mRNA was not observed in C33-A cells lacking this nuclear receptor. To explore the potential effect of Dicer upregulation by calcitriol on microRNA processing, we performed a microRNA profiling study in SiHa cells treated with calcitriol. The analysis of microRNA expression revealed that this hormone promotes the maturation of a subset of microRNAs with potential regulatory function in cancer pathways. Among these, miR-22 and miR-296-3p have already been associated with tumor-supressive effects. Our results suggest that Dicer upregulation by calcitriol could be associated, at least in part, with an increase in the maturation of a subset of tumor-suppressor microRNAs in cervical cancer cells.

Vitamin D and microRNA Expression

Project description:Background: Vitamin D has been observed to affect the expression of a number of genes, however its mechanism of action has not been completely elucidated. MicroRNA molecules have recently been shown to be key mediators of gene regulation. We hypothesised therefore that vitamin D might modulate gene expression by influencing the expression of microRNAs. Methodology/Principal findings: A microRNA array was used to investigate the expression of microRNAs in RNA extracted from cells exposed to calcitriol for 0, 8 or 36 hours. A diverse panel of human cell lines were analysed including Hep-G2, HL60, K562, two fibroblast cell lines (AG09309 and AG09319), and four lymphoblastoid cell lines (GM15084, GM12878, GM07348 and GM07019). When compared between 0, 8 and 36 hours of calcitriol treatment, there were several microRNAs that were differentially regulated but the significance of these was lost after correction for multiple hypothesis testing. Conclusions/Significance: No microRNA showed significantly altered expression after exposure to vitamin D. However, some nominally significant miRNA molecules may warrant further investigation for a potential vitamin D-related role in immune function.

Calcitriol promotes differentiation of glioma stem-like cells and increases their susceptibility to temozolomide

Project description:Cancer cells with a stem-like phenotype are commonly described in glioblastoma, the most common primary adult brain cancer, that are thought to be highly tumorigenic. This phenotype comprimes high self renewal capacity and resistance against chemotherapy and radiation therapy, thereby promoting tumor progression and disease relapse. Here we show for the first time that calcitriol, the hormonally active form of the “sun hormone” vitamin D3, effectively suppresses stemness properties in glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs), supporting the hypothesis that cal-citriol sensitizes them to additional chemotherapy. Indeed, a physiologically relevant organotypic brain slice model was used to monitor tumor growth of GSCs and the effectiveness of combined treatment with temozolomide, the current standard-of-care, and calcitriol was proven. These findings indicate that further research on applying calcitriol, a well known and safe drug, as a potential adjuvant therapy for glioblastoma is both justified and necessary.

Comparative Proteomics of Calcitriol-treated high- and no-responding Glioma stem-like cells

Project description:Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain cancer and is associated with poor survival and high rates of recurrent diseases. The median survival using standard radio-chemotherapy is 15 months and the 5-year survival rate is below 5%. It is hypothesized that treatment resistance, diffuse infiltration of the brain and disease recurrence is, at least in part, due to cancer cells that can obtain a transient, stem-like phenotype. These so-called glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) display pluripotency, express marker proteins associated with stem-cells and can replenish the tumor after treatment. Recently, we have shown that the hormonally active form of vitamin D3, calcitriol (1α,25(OH)2-vitamin D3), is active in a subset of GSCs and reduces traits of stemness. Here, we have employed a set of 8 GSCs that do not respond to calcitriol-treatment (No-responder) and the 8 strongest responders to calcitriol (High-responder) and compared to proteomes after treatment with 50 nM calcitriol for 48h.

MicroRNA analysis in HPV-positive and HPV-negative cervical cancer cell lines

Project description:Persistent infection by high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is associated with the development of cervical cancer and a subset of anogenital and head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Abnormal expression of cellular microRNAs (miRNAs) plays an important role in the development of cancer, including HPV-related tumors. MiRNA expression profile was investigated by microrray analysis in the HPV-positive cervical cancer cell lines SiHa (HPV16-positive cell line derived from a cervical squamous cell carcinoma), CaSki (HPV16-positive cell line derived from a metastatic cervical epidermoid carcinoma), and HeLa (HPV18-positive cell line derived from a cervical adenocarcinoma) and compared with primary HFKs and C33a (HPV-negative cervical cell line).

Proteomics of U1810 cells upon treatment with microRNAs with an AAGUGC seed motif.

Project description:microRNA dysregulation is a common feature of cancer cells, but the complex roles of microRNAs in cancer are not fully elucidated. Here we used functional genomics to identify oncogenic microRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer and to evaluate their impact on response to EGFR targeting therapy. Our data demonstrate that microRNAs with an AAGUGC-motif in their seed-sequence increase both cancer cell proliferation and sensitivity to EGFR inhibitors. Global transcriptomics, proteomics and target prediction resulted in the identification of several tumor suppressors involved in the G1/S transition as targets of AAGUGC-microRNAs. The clinical implications of our findings were evaluated by analysis of public domain data supporting the link between this microRNA seed-family, their tumor suppressor targets and cancer cell proliferation. In conclusion we propose that AAGUGC-microRNAs are an integral part of an oncogenic signaling network, and that these findings have potential therapeutic implications, especially in selecting patients for EGFR-targeting therapy.

Systematic analysis of intronic microRNAs reveals cooperativity within the multi-component FTX locus to promote colon cancer development

Project description:Approximately half of all microRNAs reside within intronic regions and are often co-transcribed with their host genes. However, most studies on intronic microRNAs focus on individual microRNAs, and conversely most studies on protein-coding and non-coding genes frequently ignore any intron-derived microRNAs. We hypothesize that the individual components of such multi-genic loci may play cooperative or competing roles in driving disease progression, and that examining the combinatorial effect of these components would uncover deeper insights into their functional importance. To address this, we perform systematic analyses of intronic microRNA:host loci in colon cancer. We observe that the FTX locus, comprising of a long non-coding RNA FTX and multiple intronic microRNAs, is highly upregulated in cancer and demonstrate that cooperativity within this multi-component locus promotes cancer growth. In addition, we show that FTX interacts with DHX9 and DICER and delineate its novel roles in regulating A-to-I RNA editing and microRNA expression. These results show for the first time that a long non-coding RNA can regulate A-to-I RNA editing, further expanding the functional repertoire of long non-coding RNAs. We further demonstrate the inhibitory effects of intronic miR-374b and -545 on the tumor suppressors PTEN and RIG-I to enhance the proto-oncogenic PI3K-AKT signaling. Finally, we show that intronic miR-421 may exert an autoregulatory effect on miR-374b and -545. Taken together, our data unveil the intricate interplay between intronic microRNAs and their host transcripts in the modulation of key signaling pathways and disease progression, adding new perspectives to the functional landscape of multi-genic loci.

Quantitative proteomic study of two cervical cancer cell lines upon re-expression of Galectin 7

Project description:Galectin-7 expression was found to be strongly reduced in cervical cancer cell lines. The same tumor cell lines in which Galectin-7 was ectopically expressed exhibited significant decrease in their tumorigenic capacity in vitro and in vivo. The proteomic changes in the cervical cancer cell lines HeLa and SiHa after Galectin-7 re-expression were here quantified by SILAC.
