Interaction of noncoding RNAs with hippo signaling pathway in cancer cells and cancer stem cells. Noncoding RNA Res 2024; 9:1292-1307. [PMID: 39045083 PMCID: PMC11263728 DOI: 10.1016/j.ncrna.2024.06.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2024] [Revised: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The Hippo signaling pathway has a regulatory function in the organogenesis process and cellular homeostasis, switching the cascade reactions of crucial kinases acts to turn off/on the Hippo pathway, altering the downstream gene expression and thereby regulating proliferation, apoptosis, or stemness. Disruption of this pathway can lead to the occurrence of various disorders and different types of cancer. Recent findings highlight the importance of ncRNAs, such as microRNA, circular RNA, and lncRNAs, in modulating the Hippo pathway. Defects in ncRNAs can disrupt Hippo pathway balance, increasing tumor cells, tumorigenesis, and chemotherapeutic resistance. This review summarizes ncRNAs' inhibitory or stimulatory role in - Hippo pathway regulation in cancer and stem cells. Identifying the relation between ncRNAs and the components of this pathway could pave the way for developing new biomarkers in the treatment and diagnosis of cancers.

P53-associated lncRNAs regulate immune functions and RNA-modifiers in gastric cancer. Heliyon 2024; 10:e35228. [PMID: 39166030 PMCID: PMC11334848 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e35228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/22/2024] Open
Abstract
TP53, a guardian of the genome, suppresses or enhances tumors through various regulatory pathways. However, the role of p53-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in immune regulation of tumor microenvironment and prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) is so far unelucidated. We analyzed the role of TP53-associated lncRNAs (obtained from the TP53LNC-DB database) in immune regulation, immune cell infiltration and RNA modification in gastric cancer. Firstly, using multivariate COX regression analysis, we identified eight lncRNAs related to the prognosis of GC. Furthermore, based on the expression of the lncRNA signature and risk score, the GC patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups. We found that M2-macrophages have significantly higher infiltration in the high-risk group. Similarly, significant differences in immune function (APC_co_stimulation, CCR, and checkpoint) and m6A modification (FTO, ZC3H13, YTHDC1, and RBM15), and m5C modification (NOP2 and TET1) between both groups were also observed. These signature lncRNAs were also positively associated with oxidative stress-related genes (MPO, MAPK14, HMOX1, and APP). Additionally, we found that high expression of GAS5 and low expression of MALAT1 in Helicobacter pylori (H-pylori) positive GC patients. Finally, GC patients in the low-risk group showed higher resistance to immunotherapy while patients in the high-risk group were more sensitive to various chemotherapy drugs. Based on these findings, we conclude that p53-associated lncRNAs signature could potentially predict the immune status and overall survival, and may also be used for risk management and planning immunotherapy for gastric cancer patients.

In Situ Growth Intercalation Structure MXene@Anatase/Rutile TiO 2 Ternary Heterojunction with Excellent Phosphoprotein Detection in Sweat. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:865.

Abstract
Abnormal protein phosphorylation may relate to diseases such as Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's. Therefore, the real-time detection of phosphoproteins in sweat was of great significance for the early knowledge, detection, and treatment of neurological diseases. In this work, anatase/rutile TiO2 was in situ grown on the MXene surface to constructing the intercalation structure MXene@anatase/rutile TiO2 ternary heterostructure as a sensing platform for detecting phosphoprotein in sweat. Here, the intercalation structure of MXene acted as electron and diffusion channels for phosphoproteins. The in situ grown anatase/rutile TiO2 with n-n-type heterostructure provided specific adsorption sites for the phosphoproteins. The determination of phosphoprotein covered concentrations in sweat, with linear range from 0.01 to 1 mg/mL, along with a low LOD of 1.52 μM. It is worth noting that, since the macromolecular phosphoprotein was adsorbed on the surface of the material, the electrochemical signal gradually decreased with the increase of phosphoprotein concentration. In addition, the active sites in the MXene@anatase/rutile TiO2 ternary heterojunction and synergistic effect of the heterojunction were verified by first-principle calculations to further realize the response to phosphoproteins. Additionally, the effective diffusion capacity and mobility of phosphoprotein molecules in the ternary heterojunction structure were studied by molecular dynamics simulation. Furthermore, the constructed sensing platform showed high selectivity, repeatability, reproducibility, and stability, and this newly developed sensor can detect for phosphoprotein in actual sweat samples. This satisfactory sensing strategy could be promoted to realize the noninvasive and continuous detection of sweat.

Front Oncol 2022; 12:923425. [PMID: 35898869 PMCID: PMC9309812 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.923425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Emerging evidence has shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis, so more specific mechanisms of key lncRNAs in CRC initiation and development are needed. Here, we evaluated the expression profiles of lncRNAs in CRC tissues and identified a novel lncRNA generated from the pseudogene Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) family homolog 5, termed lncRNA WASH5P. However, the role and potential molecular mechanism of this novel lncRNA in diseases, including CRC carcinogenesis, is unknown. Our present study found that WASH5P was significantly downregulated in CRC cell lines and tissues compared with normal controls. The ectopic expression of WASH5P in CRC cells could significantly inhibit CRC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. In addition, WASH5P could increase the expression of E-cadherin and decrease Vimentin expression. WASH5P-overexpressing CRC cells developed tumors more slowly in different mouse models. Meanwhile, the overexpression of WASH5P could significantly inhibit AKT activation via suppressing AKT phosphorylation. The treatment of PI3K/AKT (phosphatidlinositol 3-kinase /protein kinase B) signaling agonist 740Y-P rescued WASH5P-reduced AKT phosphorylation and abolished the inhibitory effects of WASH5P on cell viability, migration, and invasion. Moreover, 740Y-P restored the WASH5P-induced downregulation of p-AKT and vimentin and the upregulation of E-cadherin via Western blot. In summary, our findings suggested that the novel lncRNA WASH5P might be a potential candidate biomarker and therapeutic target that could inhibit CRC by repressing the AKT signaling pathway.

Integrated Analysis of miR-7-5p-Related ceRNA Network Reveals Potential Biomarkers for the Clinical Outcome of Gastric Cancer. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:8204818.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the second leading cause of tumor-associated death and the fourth most commonly seen tumor across the world. Abnormal ncRNAs have been verified to be involved in potential metastasis via modulating epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition progression and are vital for the progression of cancers. Tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TICs) are a vital indicator of whether cancer patients will benefit from immunotherapy. Nonetheless, the association between ceRNAs and immune cells remained largely unclear. We used the ceRNA network combined with TICs for the prediction of the clinical outcome of GC patients based on TCGA datasets. The percentage of immunocytes in GC was speculated by the use of CIBERSORT. Via Lasso and multivariate assays, prognostic models were established applying survival-related genes and immune cells. Nomograms were developed, and the accuracy of the nomograms was determined using calibration curves. The association between ceRNAs and TICs was validated by the use of integration analysis. In this study, there were 2219 mRNAs (1308 increased and 911 decreased), 171 lncRNAs (51 decreased and 120 increased), and 123 miRNAs (55 decreased and 68 increased) differentially expressed between tumor groups and nontumor groups. Five lncRNAs, six miRNAs, and 64 mRNAs were used for ceRNA network construction. Eight genes including LOX, SPARC, MASTL, PI15, BMPR1B, ANKRD13B, PVT1, and miR-7-5p were applied for the development of the prognostic model. Survival assays suggested that tumor cases with high risk exhibited a shorter overall survival. In addition, we included T-cell CD4 memory activated, monocytes, and neutrophils for the development of a prognosis model. Eventually, our team demonstrated the possible associations between the ceRNA prognosis model and prognostic model based on immune cells. To sum up, the ceRNA network could be used for gene regulation and predict clinical outcomes of GC patients.
