Project description:Oxaliplatin (oxPt) resistance in colorectal cancers (CRC) is a major unsolved problem. Consequently, predictive markers and a better understanding of resistance mechanisms are urgently needed. To investigate if the recently identified predictive miR-625-3p is functionally involved in oxPt resistance, stable and inducible models of miR-625-3p dysregulation were analyzed. Ectopic expression of miR-625-3p in CRC cells led to increased resistance towards oxPt. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase 6 (MAP2K6/MKK6) – an activator of p38 MAPK - was identified as a functional target of miR-625-3p, and, in agreement, was down-regulated in patients not responding to oxPt therapy. The miR-625-3p resistance phenotype could be reversed by anti-miR-625-3p treatment and by ectopic expression of a miR-625-3p insensitive MAP2K6 variant. Transcriptome, proteome and phosphoproteome profiles revealed inactivation of MAP2K6-p38 signaling as a possible driving force behind oxPt resistance. We conclude that miR-625-3p induces oxPt resistance by abrogating MAP2K6-p38 regulated apoptosis and cell cycle control networks.

Project description:We did the microarray to further compare the changes of gene expression between gastric cancer stem cells with CD44 knockdown by lentivirus and gastric cancer stem cells by scamble short hairpin RNA. Gastric cancer stem cells (Lentivirus) were infected with lentivirus that expressed human CD44-speciï¬c short hairpin RNA (shRNA). Control group of gastric cancer stem cells (Vector group) were only infected with scramble shRNA.
Project description:Oxaliplatin (oxPt) resistance in colorectal cancers (CRC) is a major medical problem, and predictive markers are urgently needed. Recently, miR-625-3p was reported as a promising predictive marker. Here, we have used in vitro models to show that miR-625-3p functionally induces oxPt resistance in CRC cells, and have identified signalling networks affected by miR-625-3p. The p38 MAPK activator MAP2K6 was shown to be a direct target of miR-625-3p, and, accordingly, was downregulated in patients not responding to oxPt therapy. miR-625-3p resistance could be reversed in CRC cells by anti-miR-625-3p treatment and by ectopic expression of a miR-625-3p insensitive MAP2K6 variant. In addition, by reducing p38 MAPK signalling using either siRNA technology, chemical inhibitors to p38 or by ectopic expression of dominant negative MAP2K6 protein we induced resistance to oxPt. Transcriptome, proteome and phosphoproteome profiles revealed inactivation of MAP2K6-p38 signalling as one likely mechanism a possible driving force behind of oxPt resistance. Our study shows that miR-625-3p induces oxPt resistance by abrogating MAP2K6-p38 regulated apoptosis and cell cycle control networks, and corroborates the predictive power of miR-625-3p

Project description:miRNAs are known to regulate gene expression by suppressing translation, but there is also a wealth of data showing that they can act as critical regulators of mRNA stability of their targets. In this experiment, we analyzed the mRNA expression profiles of E10 with high expression of miR-129 as compared to control cells to identify miR-129 targets. E10 cells infected with miR-129 over-expressing lentivirus or the control lentivirus were cultured for 48 hours. More than 80% of cells were infected. Total RNA samples were isolated using Trizol (invitrogen), and subjected to labeling, fragmentation and hybridization, according to manufacturer’s protocols. Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix) was used for mRNA expression profiling. We compared the mRNA expression profiles between cells infected with miR-129 expressing lentivirus and the cells infected with control lentivirus
