Cancer Gene Ther 2024:10.1038/s41417-024-00838-9.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer worldwide with an increasing annual incidence. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) play important roles in the occurrence, development, recurrence, and metastasis of CRC. The molecular mechanism regulating the development of colorectal CSCs remains unclear. The discovery of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) through somatic cell reprogramming has revolutionized the fields of stem cell biology and translational medicine. In the present study, we converted hiPSCs into cancer stem-like cells by culture with conditioned medium (CM) from CRC cells. These transformed cells, termed hiPSC-CSCs, displayed cancer stem-like properties, including a spheroid morphology and the expression of both pluripotency and CSC markers. HiPSC-CSCs showed tumorigenic and metastatic abilities in mouse models. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype was observed in hiPSC-CSCs, which promoted their migration and angiogenesis. Interestingly, upregulation of C-MYC was observed during the differentiation of hiPSC-CSCs. Mechanistically, CREB binding protein (CBP) bound to the C-MYC promoter, while histone deacetylase 1 and 3 (HDAC1/3) dissociated from the promoter, ultimately leading to an increase in histone acetylation and C-MYC transcriptional activation during the differentiation of hiPSC-CSCs. Pharmacological treatment with a CBP inhibitor or abrogation of CBP expression with a CRISPR/Cas9-based strategy reduced the stemness of hiPSC-CSCs. This study demonstrates for the first time that colorectal CSCs can be generated from hiPSCs. The upregulation of C-MYC via histone acetylation plays a crucial role during the conversion process. Inhibition of CBP is a potential strategy for attenuating the stemness of colorectal CSCs.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is a common type of cancer and has a poor prognosis. In this study, we collected the mRNA and miRNA expression profiles of BC patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to explore a novel prognostic strategy for BC patients using bioinformatics tools. We found that six glycolysis-related miRNAs (GRmiRs, including hsa-mir-1247, hsa-mir148b, hsa-mir-133a-2, has-mir-1307, hsa-mir-195 and hsa-mir-1258) were correlated with prognosis of BC samples. The risk score model was established based on 6 prognosis-associated GRmiRs. The outcome of high risk group was significantly poorer. Cox regression analysis showed that risk score was an independent prognostic factor. Differentially expressed genes identified between high and low risk groups were mainly enriched in inflammation and immune-related signaling pathways. The proportion of infiltration of 12 kinds of immune cells in high and low risk groups were significantly different. Risk score was closely associated with many immune indexes. Multiple DEGRGs and miRNAs were associated with drugs. In conclusion, glycolysis-related miRNA signature effectively predicts BC prognosis.

Abstract
Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) have identified many putative susceptibility genes for colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. However, susceptibility miRNAs, critical dysregulators of gene expression, remain unexplored. We genotyped DNA samples from 313 CRC East Asian patients and performed small RNA sequencing in their normal colon tissues distant from tumors to build genetic models for predicting miRNA expression. We applied these models and data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) including 23 942 cases and 217 267 controls of East Asian ancestry to investigate associations of predicted miRNA expression with CRC risk. Perturbation experiments separately by promoting and inhibiting miRNAs expressions and further in vitro assays in both SW480 and HCT116 cells were conducted. At a Bonferroni-corrected threshold of P < 4.5 × 10-4, we identified two putative susceptibility miRNAs, miR-1307-5p and miR-192-3p, located in regions more than 500 kb away from any GWAS-identified risk variants in CRC. We observed that a high predicted expression of miR-1307-5p was associated with increased CRC risk, while a low predicted expression of miR-192-3p was associated with increased CRC risk. Our experimental results further provide strong evidence of their susceptible roles by showing that miR-1307-5p and miR-192-3p play a regulatory role, respectively, in promoting and inhibiting CRC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, which was consistently observed in both SW480 and HCT116 cells. Our study provides additional insights into the biological mechanisms underlying CRC development.

A novel SRSF3 inhibitor, SFI003, exerts anticancer activity against colorectal cancer by modulating the SRSF3/DHCR24/ROS axis. Cell Death Dis 2022; 8:238. [PMID: 35501301 PMCID: PMC9061822 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-022-01039-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Revised: 04/16/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
As the modulation of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 3 (SRSF3) may be therapeutically beneficial to colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, the identification of novel SRSF3 inhibitors is highly anticipated. However, pharmaceutical agents targeting SRSF3 have not yet been discovered. Here, we propose a functional SRSF3 inhibitor for CRC therapy and elucidate its antitumor mechanisms. We found high expression of SRSF3 in 70.6% CRC tissues. Silencing SRSF3 markedly inhibits the proliferation and migration of CRC cells through suppression of its target gene 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR24). This is evidenced by the links between SRSF3 and DHCR24 in CRC tissues. The novel SRSF3 inhibitor SFI003 exhibits potent antitumor efficacy in vitro and in vivo, which drives apoptosis of CRC cells via the SRSF3/DHCR24/reactive oxygen species (ROS) axis. Moreover, SFI003 is druggable with suitable pharmacokinetic properties, bioavailability, and tumor distribution. Thus, SRSF3 is a novel potential therapeutic target for CRC. Its inhibitor SFI003 may be developed as an anticancer therapeutic.

Synergistic antitumor activity of 5-fluorouracil and atosiban against microsatellite stable colorectal cancer through restoring GATA3. Biochem Pharmacol 2022; 199:115025.

Abstract
Clinically, 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) is a first-line drug for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, chemoresistance to 5-Fu-based chemotherapy is a leading obstacle in achieving effective treatment for CRC, especially microsatellite stable (MSS) CRC. Since the cytotoxicity of 5-Fu is negatively correlated with oxytocin receptor (OXTR) expression in MSS CRC cell lines, our current study aimed to investigate the synergistic antitumor activity of 5-Fu combined with atosiban, an antagonist of OXTR. Our results suggested that atosiban remarkably potentiated the inhibitory effect of 5-Fu on the growth of MSS-type CRC cells in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, 5-Fu induced GATA3 in MSS CRC cells and tumors, which were eradicated by atosiban. Further investigation showed that atosiban strengthened the antitumor activity of 5-Fu through eradiation of 5-Fu-induced GATA3 in MSS-type CRC cells. Taken together, our findings suggest that atosiban potentiates the antitumor effect of 5-Fu by abolishing 5-Fu-induced GATA3, which provides a novel therapeutic strategy for MSS-type CRC via the combination of atosiban and 5-Fu.

Abstract
There is growing interest in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes of microRNAs (miRNAs), which could be associated with susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC) and therefore for prognosis of the disease and/or treatment response. Moreover, these miRNAs-SNPs could serve as new, low-invasive biomarkers for early detection of CRC. In the present article, we performed a thorough review of different SNPs, which were investigated for a correlation with the CRC risk, prognosis, and treatment response. We also analyzed the results from different meta-analyses and the possible reasons for reported contradictory findings, especially when different research groups investigated the same SNP in a gene for a particular miRNA. This illustrates the need for more case-control studies involving participants with different ethnic backgrounds. According to our review, three miRNAs-SNPs-miR-146a rs2910164, miR-27a rs895819 and miR-608 rs4919510-appear as promising prognostic, diagnostic and predictive biomarkers for CRC, respectively.

Abstract
miR-1307 is highly expressed in liver cancer and inhibits methyltransferase protein8. Thereby, miR-1307 inhibits the expression of KDM3A and KDM3B and increases the methylation modification of histone H3 lysine 9, which enhances the expression of endoplasmic-reticulum-related gene CALR. Of note, miR-1307 weakens the binding ability of OSTC to CDK2, CDK4, CyclinD1, and cyclinE and enhances the binding ability of CALR to CDK2, CDK4, CyclinD1, and cyclinE, decreasing of p21WAF1/CIP1, GADD45, pRB, and p18, and decreasing of ppRB. Furthermore, miR-1307 increases the activity of H-Ras, PKM2, and PLK1. Strikingly, miR-1307 reduces the binding ability of OSTC to ATG4 and enhances the binding ability of CALR to ATG4. Therefore, miR-1307 reduces the occurrence of autophagy based on ATG4-LC3-ATG3-ATG7-ATG5-ATG16L1-ATG12-ATG9- Beclin1. In particular, miR-1307 enhances the expression of PAK2, PLK1, PRKAR2A, MYBL1, and Trim44 and inhibits the expression of Sash1 and Smad5 via autophagy. Our observations suggest that miR-1307 promotes hepatocarcinogenesis by CALR-OSTC-endoplasmic reticulum protein folding pathway.

1. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in regulating lipid metabolism, adipogenesis and fat deposition in chicken. To date, there are only a few miRNAs that had been confirmed to be involved in chicken adipogenesis. The detailed mechanisms by which miRNAs regulate chicken adipogenesis remain largely unknown. 2. To identify candidate miRNAs involved in chicken preadipocyte differentiation and explore potential mechanisms behind their functions, the following study analysed and identified miRNA and mRNA expression levels in undifferentiated and differentiated preadipocytes. Hub miRNA-mRNA interactions were identified, and the degree of connectivity of DE miRNAs in the network was established. 3. A total of 145 DE miRNAs and 660 DE mRNAs were identified between undifferentiated and differentiated preadipocytes. An miRNA-mRNA network was constructed, including 29 DE miRNAs and 155 DE mRNAs, forming 470 miRNA-mRNA interactions. Functional enrichment analysis showed that DE mRNAs in the network were significantly enriched in 712 biological processes and 13 KEGG pathways. Based on the connectivity degree, five DE miRNAs with higher degrees miR-195-x, gga-miR-200a-3p, gga-miR-135a-5p, novel-m0067-5p and novel-m0270-5p were identified as hub miRNAs. Fifty-eight DE mRNAs interacted with these five hub miRNAs and formed 70 miRNA-mRNA interactions. 4. This study constructed a miRNA-mRNA network associated with chicken preadipocyte differentiation and identified five hub miRNAs in the network. The findings identified the number of chicken adipogenic miRNAs and laid the foundation for elucidating the miRNA-mediated regulatory mechanism in chicken adipogenesis.

Abstract
The cancer genome is characterized by extensive variability, in the form of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) or structural variations such as Copy Number Alterations (CNAs) across wider genomic areas. At the molecular level, most SNPs and/or CNAs reside in non-coding sequences, ultimately affecting the regulation of oncogenes and/or tumor-suppressors in a cancer-specific manner. Notably, inherited non-coding variants can predispose for cancer decades prior to disease onset. Furthermore, accumulation of additional non-coding driver mutations during progression of the disease, gives rise to genomic instability, acting as the driving force of neoplastic development and malignant evolution. Therefore, detection and characterization of such mutations can improve risk assessment for healthy carriers and expand the diagnostic and therapeutic toolbox for the patient. This review focuses on functional variants that reside in transcribed or not transcribed non-coding regions of the cancer genome and presents a collection of appropriate state-of-the-art methodologies to study them.

Am J Transl Res 2021; 13:7756-7766. [PMID: 34377252 PMCID: PMC8340226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 05/08/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of miR-1307-5p which specifically inhibits transforming growth factor beta-induced gene (TGFBI) on the biologic behavior of osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocytes. METHODS We detected miR-1307-5p and TGFBI expression in the cartilage tissue specimens of OA patients and mice, respectively. RNA22 was applied to predict the target gene of miR-1307-5p, and we further verified the relationship by performing a dual luciferase reporter experiment. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the expression of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor-1 (TIMP-1), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the culture medium of mouse chondrocytes. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot were used to measure the expression of Bax and Bcl-2. MTT method was applied to detect the proliferation activity of chondrocytes, while flow cytometry was implemented to detect the apoptosis of chondrocytes. RESULTS The expression of miR-1307-5p in cartilage tissue specimens of OA patients was up-regulated, while TGFBI expression was down-regulated. Compared with normal mice cartilage tissue specimens, the expression of miR-1307-5p in cartilage tissue specimens of OA mouse was increased, while TGFBI expression was decreased (both P<0.05). The results of the dual luciferase reporter experiment showed that TGFBI was a target gene of miR-1307-5p. In cell experiments, compared with the normal group, TIMP-1 and Bcl-2 expression, and cell proliferation activities in all model groups were decreased. IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Bax expression, and cell apoptosis rates were increased (all P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, TIMP-1 and Bcl-2 expression, and cell proliferation activities in the miR-1307-5p inhibitor group and the TGFBI group were increased, while IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and Bax expression, and cell apoptosis rates were decreased (all P<0.05). The changes in all indicators in the miR-1307-5p mimic group were opposite to those of the miR-1307-5p inhibitor group (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences concerning all indicators between the blank group and the NC group, and between the blank group and the miR-1307-5p mimic + TGFBI group (all P>0.05). CONCLUSION The suppression of miR-1307-5p expression can increase TGFBI expression, promoting the proliferation of chondrocytes in OA mice, while inhibiting their apoptosis.
