DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion protein-regulated LINC00473 promotes tumor growth and alters mitochondrial fitness in fibrolamellar carcinoma. PLoS Genet 2024; 20:e1011216. [PMID: 38512964 PMCID: PMC11020935 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1011216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a rare liver cancer that disproportionately affects adolescents and young adults. Currently, no standard of care is available and there remains a dire need for new therapeutics. Most patients harbor the fusion oncogene DNAJB1-PRKACA (DP fusion), but clinical inhibitors are not yet developed and it is critical to identify downstream mediators of FLC pathogenesis. Here, we identify long noncoding RNA LINC00473 among the most highly upregulated genes in FLC tumors and determine that it is strongly suppressed by RNAi-mediated inhibition of the DP fusion in FLC tumor epithelial cells. We show by loss- and gain-of-function studies that LINC00473 suppresses apoptosis, increases the expression of FLC marker genes, and promotes FLC growth in cell-based and in vivo disease models. Mechanistically, LINC00473 plays an important role in promoting glycolysis and altering mitochondrial activity. Specifically, LINC00473 knockdown leads to increased spare respiratory capacity, which indicates mitochondrial fitness. Overall, we propose that LINC00473 could be a viable target for this devastating disease.

Jiang LY, Wang GH, Xu JJ, Li XL, Lin XY, Fang X, Zhang HX, Feng M, Jiang CM. CREB-induced LINC00473 promotes chemoresistance to TMZ in glioblastoma by regulating O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase expression via CEBPα binding. Neuropharmacology 2024; 243:109790. [PMID: 37981063 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2023.109790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
Temozolomide (TMZ) offers substantial therapeutic benefits for glioblastoma (GB), yet its efficacy is hindered the development of chemoresistance. The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumorigenesis and chemoresistance has garnered great attention in studies on TMZ resistance. This study aimed to reveal the role of LINC00473 in TMZ chemoresistance and the underlying mechanism in GB. The expression of LINC00473 in TMZ-resistant and TMZ-sensitive GB cells was investigated using qPCR analysis. The role of LINC00473 in regulating TMZ resistance in GB cells was analyzed using the CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry. The next steps included assessing if LINC00473 is regulated by CREB and whether LINC00473 promotes chemoresistance through MGMT regulation via CEBPα. Further, chemoresistance delivery between cells via exosomal LINC00473 was validated in vitro and in vivo. Results showed that LINC00473 levels were elevated in TMZ-resistant cells upon CREB activation, and the lncRNA promoted the chemoresistance of GB cells through the upregulation of MGMT expression. Mechanistically, LINC00473 regulated the MGMT expression by binding to CEBPα. The highly-expressed LINC00473 packaged in exosomes transferred chemoresistance to the adjacent TMZ-sensitive GB cells. In conclusion, a novel CREB/LINC00473/CEBPα/MGMT pathway was revealed in the GB TMZ-resistance formation. In addition, an exosome-based mechanism of chemoresistance transmission was revealed, suggesting that LINC00473 could be used as a novel therapeutic target for GB.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. There has been no efficient therapy for stage IV GC patients due to this disease's heterogeneity and dissemination ability. Despite the rapid advancement of molecular targeted therapies, such as HER2 and immune checkpoint inhibitors, survival of GC patients is still unsatisfactory because the understanding of the mechanism of GC progression is still incomplete. Invasion is the most important feature of GC metastasis, which causes poor mortality in patients. Recently, genomic research has critically deepened our knowledge of which gene products are dysregulated in invasive GC. Furthermore, the study of the interaction of GC cells with the tumor microenvironment has emerged as a principal subject in driving invasion and metastasis. These results are expected to provide a profound knowledge of how biological molecules are implicated in GC development. This review summarizes the advances in our current understanding of the molecular mechanism of GC invasion. We also highlight the future directions of the invasion therapeutics of GC. Compared to conventional therapy using protease or molecular inhibitors alone, multi-therapy targeting invasion plasticity may seem to be an assuring direction for the progression of novel strategies.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), a common condition in Western countries, is a cardiovascular disorder that arises due to haemostatic irregularities, which lead to thrombus generation inside veins. Even with successful treatment, the resulting disease spectrum of complications considerably affects the patient's quality of life, potentially leading to death. Cumulative data indicate that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may have a role in VTE pathogenesis. However, the clinical usefulness of these RNAs as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for VTE management is yet unclear. Thus, this article reviewed the emerging evidence on lncRNAs associated with VTE and with the activity of the coagulation system, which has a central role in disease pathogenesis. Until now, ten lncRNAs have been implicated in VTE pathogenesis, among which MALAT1 is the one with more evidence. Meanwhile, five lncRNAs have been reported to affect the expression of TFPI2, an important anticoagulant protein, but none with a described role in VTE development. More investigation in this field is needed as lncRNAs may help dissect VTE pathways, aiding in disease prediction, prevention and treatment.

The frequent metastasis of gastric cancer (GC) complicates the cure and therefore the development of effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches is urgently necessary. In recent years, lncRNA has emerged as a drug target in the treatment of GC, particularly in the areas of cancer immunity, cancer metabolism, and cancer metastasis. This has led to the demonstration of the importance of these RNAs as prognostic, diagnostic and therapeutic agents. In this review, we provide an overview of the biological activities of lncRNAs in GC development and update the latest pathological activities, prognostic and diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic options for GC-related lncRNAs.

J Biol Chem 2023; 299:104671. [PMID: 37019214 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2022] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The LINC00473 (Lnc473) gene has previously been shown to be associated with cancer and psychiatric disorders. Its expression is elevated in several types of tumors and decreased in the brains of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or major depression. In neurons, Lnc473 transcription is strongly responsive to synaptic activity, suggesting a role in adaptive, plasticity-related mechanisms. However, the function of Lnc473 is largely unknown. Here, using a recombinant adeno-associated viral vector, we introduced a primate-specific human Lnc473 RNA into mouse primary neurons. We show that this resulted in a transcriptomic shift comprising downregulation of epilepsy-associated genes and a rise in cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) activity, which was driven by augmented CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) nuclear localization. Moreover, we demonstrate that ectopic Lnc473 expression increased neuronal excitability as well as network excitability. These findings suggest that primates may possess a lineage-specific activity-dependent modulator of CREB-regulated neuronal excitability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND LINC00473 is a promising long non-coding RNA. There is increasing evidence that SNHG7 is abnormally expressed in various tumors and is associated with cancer prognosis. However, identification of the effect of long non-coding RNA LINC00473 in tumors remains necessary. METHODS Up to August 15, 2021, we searched electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Medline, and Web of Science. The results were evaluated by pooled odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS There weres 13 included literature totaling cancer patients involved in this meta-analysis. The aggregated results revealed that high expression of LINC00473 was significantly associated with unfavorable overall survival (HR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.48-1.86, P < .00001), disease-free survival (HR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.09-2.32, P = .02) in a variety of cancers. Additionally, increased LINC00473 expression was also correlated with tumor node metastasis stage ((III/IV vs I/II) OR = 4.67, 95% CI = 3.11-7.02, P < .00001), differentiation ((poor/moderately vs well) OR = 3.25, 95% CI = 1.41-7.50, P = .006), tumor size ((larger vs smaller) OR = 2.49, 95% CI = 1.26-4.91, P = .03), and lymph node metastasis ((positive vs negative) OR = 3.10, 95% CI = 2.13-4.51, P = .008) in patients with cancers. Besides, the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis dataset evaluated that LINC00473 was upregulated in a variety of tumors and predicted worse prognosis. CONCLUSION Our results of this meta-analysis demonstrated that high LINC00473 expression may become a potential target for predicting prognosis of human cancers.

Abstract
Placenta-specific trophoblast and tumor cells exhibit many common characteristics. Trophoblast cells invade maternal tissues while being tolerated by the maternal immune system. Similarly, tumor cells can invade surrounding tissues and escape the immune system. Importantly, both trophoblast and tumor cells are supported by an abetting microenvironment, which influences invasion, angiogenesis, and immune tolerance/evasion, among others. However, in contrast to tumor cells, the metabolic, proliferative, migrative, and invasive states of trophoblast cells are under tight regulatory control. In this review, we provide an overview of similarities and dissimilarities in regulatory processes that drive trophoblast and tumor cell fate, particularly focusing on the role of the abetting microenvironments.

LINC00473-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells incorporated thermosensitive PLGA hydrogel transplantation for steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head: A detailed mechanistic study and validity evaluation. Bioeng Transl Med 2022; 7:e10275. [PMID: 35600648 PMCID: PMC9115691 DOI: 10.1002/btm2.10275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The pathogenesis of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) involves a glucocorticoid-induced imbalance of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, and apoptosis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). An increasing number of genes, especially noncoding RNAs, have been implicated in the function of BMSCs. Our previous studies have confirmed the key role of LINC00473 and miR-23a-3p on the osteogenic, adipogenic differentiation, and apoptosis of BMSCs. However, the underlying mechanism of this process is still unclear. Based on bioinformatics analysis, here we investigated the effects of LINC00473 on the LRP5/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in the osteogenesis and adipogenesis of BMSCs, as well as the PEBP1/Akt/Bad/Bcl-2 signaling pathway in dexamethasone- (Dex-) induced apoptosis of BMSCs. Our data showed that LINC00473 could promote osteogenesis and suppress the adipogenesis of BMSCs through the activation of the miR-23a-3p/LRP5/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway axis, while rescuing BMSCs from Dex-induced apoptosis by activating the miR-23a-3p/PEBP1/Akt/Bad/Bcl-2 signaling pathway axis. Notably, we observed that LINC00473 interacted with miR-23a-3p in an Argonaute 2 (AGO2)-dependent manner based on dual-luciferase reporter assay, AGO2-related RNA immunoprecipitation, and RNA antisense purification assay. Furthermore, injectable thermosensitive polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) hydrogel loaded with rat-derived BMSCs (rBMSCs) modified by LINC00473 were used for the treatment of SONFH in a rat model. Our results demonstrated that PLGA hydrogels provided a suitable environment for harboring rBMSCs. Besides, transplantation of PLGA hydrogels loaded with rBMSCs modified by LINC00473 could significantly promote the bone repair and reconstruction of the necrotic area at the femoral head in our SONFH rat model. Surprisingly, compared with the transplantation of BMSCs alone, the transplanted rBMSCs encapsulated within the PLGA hydrogel could migrate from the medullary cavity to the femoral head. In summary, LINC00473 promoted osteogenesis, inhibited adipogenesis, and antagonized Dex-induced apoptosis of BMSCs. Therefore, LINC00473 could provide a new strategy for the treatment of SONFH.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a kind of malignant tumor disease that poses a serious threat to human health. The GC immune microenvironment (TIME) is a very complex tumor microenvironment, mainly composed of infiltrating immune cells, extracellular matrix, tumor-associated fibroblasts, cytokines and chemokines, all of which play a key role in inhibiting or promoting tumor development and affecting tumor prognosis. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a non-coding RNA with a transcript length is more than 200 nucleotides. LncRNAs are expressed in various infiltrating immune cells in TIME and are involved in innate and adaptive immune regulation, which is closely related to immune escape, migration and invasion of tumor cells. LncRNA-targeted therapeutic effect prediction for GC immunotherapy provides a new approach for clinical research on the disease.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) remains the third deadliest malignancy in China. Despite the current understanding that the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a pivotal function in the growth and progression of cancer, their prognostic value in GC remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to construct a polymolecular prediction model by employing a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network signature obtained by integrated bioinformatics analysis to evaluate patient prognosis in GC. Overall, 1,464 mRNAs, 14,376 lncRNAs, and 73 microRNAs (miRNAs) were found to be differentially expressed in GC. Gene Ontology (GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses revealed that these differentially expressed RNAs were mostly enriched in neuroactive ligand–receptor interaction, chemical carcinogenesis, epidermis development, and digestion, which were correlated with GC. A ceRNA network consisting of four lncRNAs, 21 miRNAs, and 12 mRNAs were constructed. We identified four lncRNAs (lnc00473, H19, AC079160.1, and AC093866.1) as prognostic biomarkers, and their levels were quantified by qRT-PCR in cancer and adjacent noncancerous tissue specimens. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses suggested statistically significant differences in age, stage, radiotherapy, and risk score groups, which were independent predictors of prognosis. A risk prediction model was created to test whether lncRNAs could be used as an independent risk predictor of GC or not. These novel lncRNAs’ signature independently predicted overall survival in GC (p < 0.001). Taken together, this study identified a ceRNA and protein–protein interaction networks that significantly affect GC, which could be valuable for GC diagnosis and therapy.

Cancer Med 2021; 10:8673-8692. [PMID: 34617407 PMCID: PMC8633244 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.4338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To explore the clinical features, molecular characteristics, and immune landscape of lung adenocarcinoma patients with KEAP1/NFE2L2/CUL3 mutations. Methods The multi‐omics data from the GDC‐TCGA LUAD project of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were downloaded from the Xena browser. The estimate of the immune infiltration was implemented by using the GSVA analysis and CIBERSORT. The status of KEAP1/NFE2L2/CUL3 mutation in 50 LUAD samples of our department was detected by using Sanger sequencing, following the relative expression level of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), miRNAs (DEmiRNAs), and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) was validated by IHC and real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR). Results The Kaplan–Meier and multivariable Cox regression analyses demonstrated that KEAP1/NFE2L2/CUL3 mutations had independent prognostic value for OS and PFS in LUAD patients. The differential analysis detected 207 upregulated genes (like GSR/UGT1A6) and 447 downregulated genes (such as PIGR). GO, KEGG, and GSEA analyses demonstrated that DEGs were enriched in glutamate metabolism and the immune response. The constructed ceRNA network shows the linkage of differential lncRNAs and mRNAs. Three hundred and nine somatic mutations were detected, alterations in immune infiltration DNA methylations and stemness scores were also founded between the two groups. Eight mutated LUAD patients were detected by Sanger DNA sequencing in 50 surgical patients. GSR and UGT1A6 were validated to express higher in the Mut group, whereas the expression of PIGR was restrained. Furthermore, the IHC staining conducted on paraffin‐embedded tissue emphasizes the consistency of our result. Conclusion This research implemented the comprehensive analysis of KEAP1/NFE2L2/CUL3 somatic mutations in the LUAD patients. Compared with the wild type of LUAD patients, the Mut group shows a large difference in clinical features, RNA sequence, DNA methylation, and immune infiltrations, indicating complex mechanism oncogenesis and also reveals potential therapeutic targets.

LncRNA LINC00473 is involved in the progression of invasive pituitary adenoma by upregulating KMT5A via ceRNA-mediated miR-502-3p evasion. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:580. [PMID: 34091587 PMCID: PMC8179925 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-021-03861-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2021] [Revised: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their crosstalks with other RNAs have been revealed to be closely related to tumorigenesis and development, but their role in invasive pituitary adenoma (IPA) remains largely unclear. In our study, LINC00473 was identified as the most upregulated lncRNA in IPA by whole transcriptome RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Further, its related signaling pathway LINC00473/miR-502-3p/KMT5A was obtained by constructing a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network. Their expression in IPA and non-invasive pituitary adenoma (NIPA) tissues was verified by qRT-PCR. Then the effects and mechanisms of LINC00473 and its ceRNA network on the proliferation of pituitary adenoma (PA) cells were confirmed by gene overexpression or silencing techniques combined with CCK-8 assay, EdU staining, flow cytometry assay, and double luciferase reporter gene assay in PA cell lines AtT-20 and GT1-1 in vitro and in a xenograft model in vivo. LINC00473 is overexpressed in IPA and can promote PA cells proliferation. Mechanistically, overexpression of LINC00473 restricts miR-502-3p through the ceRNA mechanism, upregulates KMT5A expression, and promotes the expression of cyclin D1 and CDK2, which is conducive to the cell cycle process, thereby promoting the proliferation of PA cells, involving IPA progression.

Long intergenic non-coding RNA 00473 promotes proliferation and migration of gastric cancer via the miR-16-5p/CCND2 axis and by regulating AQP3. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:496.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, but its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Increasing evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) play a pivotal role in various cancers recently. Our present study focused on exploring the function of long intergenic non-coding RNA 00473 (LINC00473) in GC. In this study, we found that LINC00473 expression was aberrantly increased in tumor tissues compared with the paired para-cancerous tissues. The expression of high LINC00473 in GC was notably correlated with a higher risk of lymphatic metastasis, a higher incidence of vascular cancer embolus, and advanced TNM stage. Further experiments showed that the overexpression of LINC00473 could promote the proliferation and metastasis of GC cells both in vitro and in vivo. The apoptosis of GC cells increased significantly by the decrease of LINC00473. Mechanistically, LINC00473 could sponge miR-16-5p in the cytoplasm and relieve its suppression of CCND2. Moreover, AQP3 was found to be a significant downstream target gene for LINC00473 through RNA transcriptome sequencing, as demonstrated by qRT-PCR and western blot. Overexpression of LINC00473 can partially reverse the effects of AQP3 decrease on GC proliferation and metastasis. LINC00473 regulated AQP3 expression through CREB was confirmed by western blot. Our research indicates that LINC00473/miR-16-5p/CCND2 axis plays a role in the proliferation of GC and modulates AQP3 to influence GC cell metastasis, making it a potential therapeutic target for GC.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to play essential roles in the occurrence and development of multiple human cancers. Accumulating evidence has shown that LINC00473, an oncogenic lncRNA, is upregulated in various human malignancies and related to poor clinical outcomes. Besides, LINC00473 overexpression can promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion through multiple potential mechanisms, indicating that it may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for human cancers. Here, we reviewed the biological functions, molecular mechanisms, and clinical implications of LINC00473 in human cancers.

Abstract
Immediate early genes play an essential role in cellular responses to different stimuli. Many of them are transcription factors that regulate the secondary response gene expression. Non-coding RNAs may also be involved in this regulatory cascade. In fact, they are emerging as key actors of gene expression regulation, and evidence suggests that their dysregulation may underly pathological states. We previously took a snapshot of both coding and long non-coding RNAs differentially expressed in neuronal cells after brain-derived neurotrophic factor stimulation. Among these, the transcription factor EGR1 (a well-known immediate early gene) and LINC00473 (a primate-specific long non-coding RNA) that has emerged as an interesting RNA candidate involved in neuronal function and in cancer. In this work, we demonstrated that LINC00473 gene expression kinetics resembled that of immediate early genes in SH-SY5Y and HEK293T cells under different cell stimulation conditions. Moreover, we showed that the expression of LINC00473 is under the control of the transcription factor EGR1, providing evidence for an interesting functional relationship in neuron function.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial for the occurrence and development of numerous diseases. Although lncRNAs are involved in the biological activities of stem cells and play crucial roles in stem cell differentiation, the expression of specific lncRNAs during human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hBMSC) osteogenic differentiation in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and their regulatory roles have not yet been fully elucidated. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to characterize lncRNA expression profiles during hBMSC osteogenic differentiation in ONFH using microarray analysis and RT-qPCR to confirm the microarray data. A total of 24 downregulated and 24 upregulated lncRNAs were identified and the results of RT-qPCR were found to be consistent with those of microarray analysis. Bioinformatics analyses, using the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases, were conducted to explore the possible mechanisms and identify the signaling pathways that the lncRNAs are involved in. GO analysis revealed significant changes in the intracellular organelle, Ras protein signal transduction and transferase activity. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that the lncRNAs were closely associated with fatty acid metabolism, apoptosis and the TGF-β signaling pathway. The overexpression of MAPT antisense RNA 1 (MAPT-AS1) was found to promote osteogenesis and inhibit the adipogenesis of hBMSCs at the cellular and mRNA levels. On the whole, the findings of the present study identified the lncRNAs and their roles in hBMSCs undergoing osteogenic differentiation in ONFH and provide a new perspective for the pathogenesis of ONFH.

Abstract
Background Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a mortal cancer with high mortality, whereas the function and mechanism of occurrence and progression of CCA are still mysterious. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) could function as important regulators in carcinogenesis and cancer progression. Growing evidences have indicated that the novel lncRNA linc00473 plays an important role in cancer progression and metastasis. However, its function and molecular mechanism in CCA remain unknown. Methods The linc00473 expression in CCA tissues and cell lines was analyzed using qRT-PCR. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments were conducted to investigate the biological functions of linc00473 both in vitro and in vivo. Insights into the underlying mechanisms of competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) were determined by bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assays, qRT-PCR arrays, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and rescue experiments. Results Linc00473 was highly expressed in CCA tissues and cell lines. Linc00473 knockdown inhibited CCA growth and metastasis. Furthermore, linc00473 acted as miR-506 sponge and regulated its target gene DDX5 expression. Rescue assays verified that linc00473 modulated the tumorigenesis of CCA by regulating miR-506. Conclusions The data indicated that linc00473 played an oncogenic role in CCA growth and metastasis, and could serve as a novel molecular target for treating CCA.

Abstract
In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the relationship between long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and tumor. Abnormal expression of lncRNAs plays an oncogenic or tumor-suppressing role in gastric cancer (GC) by participating in the biological behaviors of GC cells, such as proliferation, invasion, and migration. By summarizing the relevant literature, this paper discusses the research status, detection technology, and mechanism of action of lncRNAs in GC, as well as their potential as markers for occurrence, progression, prognosis, and drug resistance of GC. It is expected that lncRNAs can play an important role in early detection, early treatment, and effective improvement of chemotherapy resistance of GC to achieve personalized precise treatment of this malignancy.

Abstract
Depression is a common disorder that affects women at twice the rate of men. Here, we report that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a recently discovered class of regulatory transcripts, represent about one-third of the differentially expressed genes in the brains of depressed humans and display complex region- and sex-specific patterns of regulation. We identified the primate-specific, neuronal-enriched gene LINC00473 as downregulated in prefrontal cortex (PFC) of depressed females but not males. Using viral-mediated gene transfer to express LINC00473 in adult mouse PFC neurons, we mirrored the human sex-specific phenotype by inducing stress resilience solely in female mice. This sex-specific phenotype was accompanied by changes in synaptic function and gene expression selectively in female mice and, along with studies of human neuron-like cells in culture, implicates LINC00473 as a CREB effector. Together, our studies identify LINC00473 as a female-specific driver of stress resilience that is aberrant in female depression.

Comprehensive analysis of competitive endogenous RNAs network reveals potential prognostic lncRNAs in gastric cancer. Heliyon 2020; 6:e03978. [PMID: 32455175 PMCID: PMC7235626 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2020.e03978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2020] [Revised: 04/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulators of a range of human diseases, including various cancers, with multiple previous studies having explored lncRNA dysregulation in the context of gastric cancer (GC). The present study sought to expand upon these previous results by downloading lncRNA, mRNA, and microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles derived from 180 GC tissues and 24 normal control tissues within the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. These datasets were then interrogated to identify GC-related differentially expressed (DE) RNAs (|fold change| ≥ 2, FDR< 0.01), leading to the identification of 1946 DE lncRNAs, 123 DE miRNAs, and 3159 DE mRNAs. These results were then used to generate a putative GC-related competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network composed of 131 lncRNAs, 9 miRNAs, and 78 mRNAs. Subsequent survival analyses based upon this network revealed 17 of these lncRNAs to be significantly associated with GC patient survival (P < 0.05). Further multivariable Cox regression and lasso analyses allowed for the construction of an 8-lncRNA risk score that was able to effectively predict GC patient survival with good discriminative ability. The Kaplan-Meier Plotter database further confirmed that network hub genes that were related to these 8 lncRNAs were associated with GC patient prognosis (P < 0.05). As the ceRNA network in the present study was constructed with a focus on both disease stage and differential gene expression, it represents a key resource that will offer valuable insights into the mechanistic roles of ceRNA pathways in GC development and progression.

Abstract
There is an urgent need to identify novel potential therapeutic targets for diagnosis and treatment of glioma, a common primary tumor in brain, due to its high-level invasiveness. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC00473 has been reported as potentially critical regulators in various types of cancer tumorigenesis. However, the effects of LINC00473 on glioma cells is unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the clinical significance, effects and mechanism of LINC00437 on glioma tumorigenesis. In the present study, LINC00473 was significantly increased in glioma tissues and in cell models, and predicted a poor prognosis in patients with glioma. Notably, LINC00473 knockdown not only suppressed cell proliferation, invasion and migration of glioma cells, but also blocked cell cycle progression and induced apoptosis. Subcutaneous xenotransplanted tumor model experiments revealed that reduced LINC00473 expression was able to suppress in vivo glioma growth. Mechanistically, LINC00473 functioned as a competing endogenous (ce)RNA to decrease microRNA (miR)-195-5p expression. Moreover, Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) and TEA domain family member 1 (TEAD1) were identified as downstream targets of miR-195-5p, whose expression levels were inhibited by miR-195-5p. LINC00473 knockdown suppressed glioma progression through the decrease of miR-195-5p and subsequent increase of YAP1 and TEAD1 expression levels. These results indicated LINC00473 might act as a ceRNA to sponge miR-195-5p, thus promoting YAP1 and TEAD1 expressions, and shedding light on the underlying mechanisms of LINC00473-induced glioma progression.

Abstract
Accumulating dysregulated lncRNAs have been demonstrated to execute vital functions in the pathogenesis and progress of gastric cancer (GC) through versatile molecular mechanisms. In this review, we classify the mechanisms of dysregulated lncRNAs in GC into several governing types according to their roles at molecular level. For each regulatory role, we illustrate several instructive examples and introduce significant effects of lncRNAs on cellular biological properties of GC. Besides, we summarize a group of lncRNA-signatures that are potential biomarkers in the prediction of prognosis for GC patients.

Abstract
Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the esophageal cancers known as an aggressive malignant tumor. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be involved in the progression and development of cancers. lncRNA LINC00473 (LINC00473) was reported to exert an oncogenic influence on diverse cancers. However, neither the biological function nor the underlying mechanism of LINC00473 has been explored in ESCC. Aim of the Study: The aim of investigation is to explore the role of LINC00473 in ESCC. Methods: The expression of LINC00473, miR-497-5p, and protein kinase AMP-activated alpha 1 catalytic subunit (PRKAA1) was detected by reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. Cell counting kit-8 and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assays were carried out to measure cell proliferation. Cell migration was tested by transwell assay. Western blot assay was performed to examine the protein expression of PRKAA1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin. The binding capacity between miR-497-5p and LINC00473 (or PRKAA1) was, respectively, studied by luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Pearson correlation analysis was adopted to analyze the correlation between miR-497-5p (or LINC00473) and PRKAA1. Results: LINC00473 presented much higher expression and LINC00473 suppression restrained the proliferation, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in ESCC cells. MiR-497-5p presented lower expression, binding with and negatively regulated by LINC00473 in ESCC. PRKAA1 was confirmed as a downstream target gene for miR-497-5p. PRKAA1 could combine with miR-497-5p, and LINC00473 knockdown or miR-497-5p overexpression downregulated the mRNA and protein expression of PRKAA1. At last, the inhibitory effects of LINC00473 knockdown on proliferation, migration, and EMT process were reversed by PRKAA1 overexpression in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions: LINC00473 regulates ESCC progression through miR-497-5p/PRKAA1 axis, which provides a new therapeutic strategy for ESCC patients.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a most aggressive malignant tumor. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying HCC are still completely unclear. LINC00473 is identified as a tumor promoter in many cancers. In this investigation, the function of LINC00473 was specifically focused on. We exhibited that LINC00473 was obviously elevated in HCC cells compared to QSG-7701 cells. Functionally, down-regulation of LINC00473 could prevent HCC cell viability and cell proliferation. For another, HCC cell colony formation capacity was greatly restrained while cell apoptosis was triggered by loss of LINC00473. Meanwhile, would-healing assay and transwell invasion experiments were employed in our present study. As demonstrated, we observed that HCC cell migratory and invasive ability were obviously suppressed by the silence of LINC00473. Apart from these, mechanistic investigations implied miR-195 was a sponge target of LINC00473. It is widely established miR-195 is a famous tumor inhibitory gene regulator in various cancers. Here, we confirmed the binding correlation between LINC00473 and miR-195 using RIP assay. Subsequently, in vivo experiments were employed and it was manifested that LINC00473 was able to promote HCC tumor growth via acting as a ceRNA to inhibit miR-195. HMGA2 is a kind of nuclear-binding protein and it is involved in various cancers. We predicted it as a target of miR-195 and we confirmed their correlation. In addition, HMGA2 was repressed by loss of LINC00473, which was rescued by miR-195 inhibitors. Then, we found that angiogenic fator vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was inhibited by loss of LINC00473 whereas anti-angiogenic factor EPN2 was induced in vivo. Taken all these together, our study revealed the significance of LINC00473/miR-195/HMGA2 signaling axis for the first time in HCC progression. It was suggested the potential possibility of LINC00473 as an indicator for HCC.

Abstract
Previous studies have focused on the changes of tumour cells in immune escape, and less is known about the effect of tumour microenvironment (TME) on immune escape. Tumour-associated fibroblasts (TAF) is an important part of the TME and has special physiological and biochemical characteristics, but the specific mechanism has not been clarified. In order to investigate the effect of TAF on the expression of PD-L1 in gastric cancer cells, gastric cancer cell lines MNK45, SGC7901 were non-contact co-culturing with TAF 1, 3 and 7 d via transwell. PD-L1 mRNA and protein expression were detected using qRT-PCR and FCM. Then, 95 cases of gastric cancer tissues were selected and evaluated PD-L1 and TAF expressions by immunohistochemical examination. The results showed that the mRNA and protein expression of PD-L1 in the experiment group were significantly higher than that in the control group. PD-L1 expression was associated with massive lymphocyte infiltration, diffuse/mixed histology and intratumoral TAFs in gastric cancers. In conclusion, TAFs promoted the growth in gastric cancer cell lines by increased the PD-L1 expression.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a great health burden to patients owing to its poor overall survival rate. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) interact with microRNAs (miRs) to participate in tumorigenesis. Therefore, we aim to uncover the role and related mechanism of LINC00473 in PC through the modulation of miR-195-5p and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). Increased LINC00473 and PD-L1 but declined miR-195-5p were determined in PC tissues and cell lines, and it was found that LINC00473 mainly situated in the cytoplasm. Also, miR-195-5p was verified to bind with both LINC00473 and PD-L1. Next, with the aim to examine the ability of LINC00473, miR-195-5p, and PD-L1 on the PC progression, the expression of LINC00473, miR-195-5p and PD-L1 were altered with mimics, inhibitors, overexpression vectors or siRNAs in PC cells and cocultured CD8+ T cells. It was demonstrated that LINC00473 sponged miR-195-5p to upregulate PD-L1 expression. More important, the obtained results revealed that LINC00473 silencing or miR-195-5p upregulation elevated the expression of Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), interferon (IFN)-γ, and interleukin (IL)-4 but reduced the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, and IL-10, thus inducing the enhancement of the apoptosis as along with the inhibition of proliferation, invasion, and migration of the PC cells. LINC00473 silencing or miR-195-5p elevation activated the CD8+ T cells. Taken together, LINC00473 silencing blocked the PC progression through enhancing miR-195-5p-targeted downregulation of PD-L1. This finding offers new therapeutic options for treating this devastating disease.

Cheng C, Wang Q, Zhu M, Liu K, Zhang Z. Integrated analysis reveals potential long non-coding RNA biomarkers and their potential biological functions for disease free survival in gastric cancer patients. Cancer Cell Int 2019; 19:123. [PMID: 31080364 PMCID: PMC6505118 DOI: 10.1186/s12935-019-0846-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2019] [Accepted: 05/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Increasing evidences supported the association between long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and disease free survival in gastric cancer (GC) patients. The purpose of the current study was to construct and verify a noninvasive preoperative predictive tool for disease free survival in GC patients. Methods There were 265 and 300 GC patients in model dataset and validation dataset respectively. The associations between the lncRNA biomarkers and disease free survival were evaluated by univariate and multivariate Cox regression. Results Thirteen lncRNA biomarkers (GAS5-AS1, AL109615.3, KDM7A-DT, AP000866.2, KCNJ2-AS1, LINC00656, LINC01777, AC046185.3, TTTY14, LINC01526, LINC02523, LINC00592, and C5orf66) were identified as prognostic biomarkers with disease free survival. These thirteen lncRNA biomarkers were combined to construct a prognostic signature for disease free survival. The C-indexes of the current predictive signature in model cohort were 0.849 (95% CI 0.803–0.895), 0.859 (95% CI 0.813–0.905) and 0.888 (95% CI 0.842–0.934) for 1-year, 3-year and 5-year disease free survival respectively. Based on thirteen-lncRNA prognostic signature, patients in model cohort could be stratified into high risk group and low risk group with significant different disease free survival rate (hazard ratio [HR] = 7.355, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.378–12.356). Good reproducibility of thirteen-lncRNA prognostic signature was confirmed in an external validation cohort (GSE62254) with HR 3.919 and 95% CI 2.817–5.453. Further analysis demonstrated that the prognostic significance of thirteen-lncRNA prognostic signature was independent of other clinical characteristics. Conclusions In conclusion, a simple noninvasive prognostic signature was established for preoperative prediction of disease free survival in GC patients. This prognostic signature might predict the individual mortality risk of disease free survival without pathological information and facilitate individual treatment decision-making.

J Cell Biochem 2019; 120:14562-14572. [PMID: 31017716 DOI: 10.1002/jcb.28717] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2018] [Revised: 02/15/2019] [Accepted: 02/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most prevalent type in esophageal cancers. Despite accumulating achievements in treatments of ESCC, patients still suffer from recurrence because of the treatment failures, one of the reasons for which is radioresistance. Therefore, it is a necessity to explore the molecular mechanism underlying ESCC radioresistance. Long intergenic noncoding RNA 473 (LINC00473) has been reported to be aberrantly expressed in several human malignancies. However, its biological function in radiosensitivity of ESCC remains to be fully understood. This study explored the role of LINC00473 in radiosensitivity of ESCC cells and whether LINC00473 acted as a competing endogenous RNA to realize its modulation on radioresistance. We found that LINC00473 was markedly upregulated in ESCC tissues and cell lines, and its expression was remarkably related to cellular response to irradiation. In addition, knockdown of LINC00473 could sensitize ESCC cells to radiation in vitro. As for the underlying mechanism, we uncovered that there was a mutual inhibition between LINC00473 and miR-374a-5p. Spindlin1 (SPIN1) was verified as a downstream target of miR-374a-5p, and LINC00473 upregulated SPIN1 expression through negatively modulating miR-374a-5p expression. Furthermore, we revealed that SPIN1 could aggravate the radioresistance of ESCC cells. Finally, overexpression of SPIN1 reversed the LINC00473 silencing-enhanced radiosensitivity in ESCC cells. To sum up, we demonstrated that LINC00473 facilitated radioresistance by regulating the miR-374a-5p/SPIN1 axis in ESCC.

Abstract
Background Reports show that ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) is a promising method of gene therapy, and metadherin (MTDH) is related to the development of breast cancer. Thus, we investigated the role of MTDH in breast cancer and compared the effect of suppressing MTDH by shRNA using liposome, UTMD, or the combination of these 2 methods. Material/Methods Graphing of survival curves of MTDH was analyzed by bioinformatics. UTMD was conducted using an ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to measure cell viability. Migration and invasion rates were measured by wound healing test and Transwell invasion assay, respectively. The expression of MTDH, E-cadherin, metastasis-associated protein-1 (MTA-1), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and MMP-9 were measured by Western blot and qPCR. Results The prognosis of breast cancer can be decreased by the high expression of MTDH, and elevated expression of MTDH was discovered in MCF-7, MCF-10A, and T47D cell lines. UTMD combined with liposome is most efficient in transfecting shRNA, clearly suppressing the expression of MTDH and thereby decreasing cell viability, migration, invasion rate, and epithelial- mesenchymal transition (EMT) processes in the MCF-7 cell line. Conclusions UTMD combined with liposome could be used as a more efficient way to transfect shRNA into cells to suppress the expression of MTDH and thus lead to the downregulation of proliferation, migration, and EMT processes of the MCF-7 cell line, showing the potential for use in gene therapy.
