Discovering the miR-26a/targetome in prostate cancer cells


ABSTRACT: In this work, we showed that the re-expression of miR-26a in DU-145 prostate cancer cells restored the tumor suppressor activity of miR-26a. To discover the genes and pathways elicited by miR-26a re-expression, we used the miRNA pull out assay to capture and the Next Generation Sequencing to identify the miR-26a targets. Data showed that: i) miR-26a captured both non-coding and coding RNAs; ii) 46% of transcripts were putative miR-26a targets according to target prediction algorithms; iii) 21 pathways were significantly enriched and the “Pathway in Cancer” was among those comprising the largest number of genes, including BIRC5 that we experimentally validated. Accordingly, the detection of cell proliferation-related events showed that miR-26a exerted its tumor suppressor activity at several levels, by decreasing the survival, impairing the migration of tumor cells and by inducing both apoptosis and cell cycle block. In conclusion, we showed that the collection of miR-26a interacting transcripts (miR-26a/targetome) represented a fruitful platform to decipher the miR-26a-dependent gene expression networks. In perspective the availability of miRNA-specific and tumor-specific targetomes will allow the discovery of new druggable tumor genes and pathways.
