KDM7A-DT induces genotoxic stress, tumorigenesis, and progression of p53 missense mutation-associated invasive breast cancer. Front Oncol 2024; 14:1227151. [PMID: 38756663 PMCID: PMC11097164 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1227151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Stress-induced promoter-associated and antisense lncRNAs (si-paancRNAs) originate from a reservoir of oxidative stress (OS)-specific promoters via RNAPII pausing-mediated divergent antisense transcription. Several studies have shown that the KDM7A divergent transcript gene (KDM7A-DT), which encodes a si-paancRNA, is overexpressed in some cancer types. However, the mechanisms of this overexpression and its corresponding roles in oncogenesis and cancer progression are poorly understood. We found that KDM7A-DT expression is correlated with highly aggressive cancer types and specific inherently determined subtypes (such as ductal invasive breast carcinoma (BRCA) basal subtype). Its regulation is determined by missense TP53 mutations in a subtype-specific context. KDM7A-DT transcribes several intermediate-sized ncRNAs and a full-length transcript, exhibiting distinct expression and localization patterns. Overexpression of KDM7A-DT upregulates TP53 protein expression and H2AX phosphorylation in nonmalignant fibroblasts, while in semi-transformed fibroblasts, OS superinduces KDM7A-DT expression in a TP53-dependent manner. KDM7A-DT knockdown and gene expression profiling in TP53-missense mutated luminal A BRCA variant, where it is abundantly expressed, indicate its significant role in cancer pathways. Endogenous over-expression of KDM7A-DT inhibits DNA damage response/repair (DDR/R) via the TP53BP1-mediated pathway, reducing apoptosis and promoting G2/M checkpoint arrest. Higher KDM7A-DT expression in BRCA is associated with KDM7A-DT locus gain/amplification, higher histologic grade, aneuploidy, hypoxia, immune modulation scores, and activation of the c-myc pathway. Higher KDM7A-DT expression is associated with relatively poor survival outcomes in patients with luminal A or Basal subtypes. In contrast, it is associated with favorable outcomes in patients with HER2+ER- or luminal B subtypes. KDM7A-DT levels are coregulated with critical transcripts and proteins aberrantly expressed in BRCA, including those involved in DNA repair via non-homologous end joining and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition pathway. In summary, KDM7A-DT and its si-lncRNA exhibit several intrinsic biological and clinical characteristics that suggest important roles in invasive BRCA and its subtypes. KDM7A-DT-defined mRNA and protein subnetworks offer resources for identifying clinically relevant RNA-based signatures and prospective targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA activated by DNA damage (NORAD) has recently been associated with pathologic mechanisms underlying cancer progression. Due to NORAD's extended range of interacting partners, there has been contradictory data on its oncogenic or tumor suppressor roles in BC. This review will summarize the function of NORAD in different BC subtypes and how NORAD impacts crucial signaling pathways in this pathology. Through the preferential binding to pumilio (PUM) proteins PUM1 and PUM2, NORAD has been shown to be involved in the control of cell cycle, angiogenesis, mitosis, DNA replication and transcription and protein translation. More recently, NORAD has been associated with PUM-independent roles, accomplished by interacting with other ncRNAs, mRNAs and proteins. The intricate network of NORAD-mediated signaling pathways may provide insights into the potential design of novel unexplored strategies to overcome chemotherapy resistance in BC treatment.

Abstract
Introduction Contribution of MAPK14 in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) has been proposed by several studies. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) have been suggested to be functionally linked with Mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 (MAPK14). Methods Expression levels of MAPK14 and its associated lncRNAs were measured in the circulation of MS patients compared with control subjects. Results Expression levels of NORAD and RAD51-AS1 were higher in total patients compared with controls (Expression ratio (95% CI) = 1.4 (1.04-1.89), P value = 0.015 and Expression ratio (95% CI) = 1.91 (1.43-2.6), P value = 0.0001, respectively). Conversely, ZNRD1ASP was under-expressed in cases compared with controls (Expression ratio (95% CI) = 0.61 (0.41-0.8), P value = 0.0005). In spite of the observed abnormal expression levels of these lncRNAs in the circulation of MS patients, their expressions were not correlated with Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score, disease duration or age at disease onset. Conclusion To sum up, the current investigation shows dysregulation of MAPK14-related lncRNAs in MS patients.

Abstract
JQ1 and GSK2801 are bromo domain inhibitors (BDI) known to exhibit enhanced anti-cancer activity when combined with other agents. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms behind such enhanced activity remain unclear. We used network-pharmacology approaches to understand the shared molecular mechanisms behind the enhanced activity of JQ1 and GSK2801 when used together to treat breast cancer (BC). The gene targets of JQ1 and GSK2801 were intersected with known BC-targets and their putative targets against BC were derived. The key genes were explored through gene-ontology-enrichment, Protein-Protein-Interaction (PPI) networking, survival analysis, and molecular modeling simulations. The genes, CTSB, MAPK14, MET, PSEN2 and STAT3, were found to be common targets for both drugs. In total, 49 biological processes, five molecular functions and 61 metabolic pathways were similarly enriched for JQ1 and GSK2801 BC targets among which several terms are related to cancer: IL-17, TNF and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Survival analyses revealed that all five putative synergistic targets are significantly associated with survival in BC (log-rank p < 0.05). Molecular modeling studies showed stable binding of JQ1 and GSK2801 against their targets. In conclusion, this study explored and illuminated the possible molecular mechanisms behind the enhanced activity of JQ1 and GSK2801 against BC and suggests synergistic action through their similar BC-targets and gene-ontologies.

Leisure Activities, Genetic Risk, and Frailty: Evidence from the Chinese Adults Aged 80 Years or Older. Gerontology 2023; 69:961-971.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION About half of adults aged ≥80 years suffer from frailty. Exercise is considered effective in preventing frailty but may be inapplicable to adults aged ≥80 years due to physical limitations. As an alternative, we aimed to explore the association of leisure activities with frailty and identify potential interaction with established polygenic risk score (PRS) among adults aged ≥80 years. METHODS Analyses were performed in a prospective cohort study of 7,471 community-living older adults aged ≥80 years who were recruited between 2002 and 2014 from 23 provinces in China. Leisure activity was assessed using a seven-question leisure activity index and frailty was defined as a frailty index ≥0.25 using a validated 39-item health-related scale. The PRS was constructed using 59 single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with frailty in a subsample of 2,541 older adults. Cox proportional hazards models were used to explore the associations of leisure activities, PRS with frailty. RESULTS The mean age of participants was 89.4 ± 6.6 years (range: 80-116). In total, 2,930 cases of frailty were identified during 42,216 person-years of follow-up. Each 1 unit increase in the leisure activity index was associated with 12% lower risk of frailty (hazard ratio: 0.88 [95% confidence interval, 0.85-0.91]). Participants with high genetic risk (PRS >2.47 × 10-4) suffered from 26% higher risk of frailty. Interaction between leisure activity and genetic risk was not observed. CONCLUSION Evidence is presented for the independent association of leisure activities and genetic risk with frailty. Engagement in leisure activities is suggested to be associated with lower risk of frailty across all levels of genetic risk among adults aged ≥80 years.

Activity-Dependent Non-Coding RNA MAPK Interactome of the Human Epileptic Brain. Noncoding RNA 2023; 9:ncrna9010003.

Abstract
The human brain has evolved to have extraordinary capabilities, enabling complex behaviors. The uniqueness of the human brain is increasingly posited to be due in part to the functions of primate-specific, including human-specific, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) genes, systemically less conserved than protein-coding genes in evolution. Patients who have surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy are subjected to extensive electrical recordings of the brain tissue that is subsequently removed in order to treat their epilepsy. Precise localization of brain tissues with distinct electrical properties offers a rare opportunity to explore the effects of brain activity on gene expression. Here, we identified 231 co-regulated, activity-dependent lncRNAs within the human MAPK signaling cascade. Six lncRNAs, four of which were antisense to known protein-coding genes, were further examined because of their high expression and potential impact on the disease phenotype. Using a model of repeated depolarizations in human neuronal-like cells (Sh-SY5Y), we show that five out of six lncRNAs were electrical activity-dependent, with three of four antisense lncRNAs having reciprocal expression patterns relative to their protein-coding gene partners. Some were directly regulated by MAPK signaling, while others effectively downregulated the expression of the protein-coding genes encoded on the opposite strands of their genomic loci. These lncRNAs, therefore, likely contribute to highly evolved and primate-specific human brain regulatory functions that could be therapeutically modulated to treat epilepsy.

Abstract
Hormone receptor positive (HR-positive) breast cancer (BC) is the most common subtype of breast cancer. Despite adjuvant endocrine therapy and chemotherapy-based treatment, the therapeutic response is often not satisfactory in HR-positive BC patients. Therefore, elucidating the mechanisms that regulate the progression of HR-positive BC is urgently required to identify new therapeutic targets. Previously, HLA Complex Group 11 (HCG11), located on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region, was found to be abnormally expressed in a variety of tumor cells. However, the role of HCG11 in HR-positive BC cells has not been explored to date. In the current study, we found that HCG11 is downregulated in HR-positive BC tissues and cell lines. Both in vitro and in vivo, HCG11 acts as a tumor suppressor in HR-positive BC cells. Furthermore, the mechanistic details unraveled that HCG11 recruits Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) to target β-catenin mRNA for promoting the translation of β-catenin. Our study emphasizes the potential of HCG11 as a novel intervention target for HR-positive BC treatment.

Abstract
AIM This study is performed to analyze the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) in prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS AND MATERIALS PVT1, miR-515-5p, and high mobility group B3 (HMGB3) mRNA expressions were examined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). After gain-of-function and loss-of-function models were established, the changes in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were evaluated using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, and Transwell experiments. Validation of the targeting relationships between PVT1 and miR-515-5p, and between miR-515-5p and HMGB3 was conducted using bioinformatics prediction, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) experiment. Moreover, the effects of PVT1 and miR-515-5p on HMGB3 protein expression were examined using Western blot. RESULTS PVT1 expression and HMGB3 expression were up-regulated in PCa tissues and cell lines while miR-515-5p expression was down-regulated. PVT1 knockdown restrained the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LNCaP and DU145 cells in vitro, and the transfection with miR-515-5p inhibitors reversed these effects. Mechanistically, PVT1 could repress the function of miR-515; HMGB3 was proved to be a target gene of miR-515-5p, and its expression could be indirectly positively modulated by PVT1. CONCLUSION PVT1 accelerates PCa progression by repress miR-515-5p's function to upregulate HMGB3 expression. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
AT-rich interactive domain 5a (Arid5a) is a nucleic acid binding protein. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the association of Arid5a with inflammation and human diseases. Arid5a is known as a protein that performs dual functions. In in vitro and in vivo studies, it was found that an inflammation-dependent increase in Arid5a expression mediates both transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory effects that are implicated in immune regulation and cellular homeostasis. A series of publications demonstrated that inhibiting Arid5a augmented several processes, such as preventing septic shock, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, acute lung injury, invasion and metastasis, immune evasion, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and the M1-like tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) to M2-like TAM transition. In addition, Arid5a controls adipogenesis and obesity in mice to maintain metabolic homeostasis. Taken together, recent progress indicates that Arid5a exhibits multifaceted, both beneficial and detrimental, roles in health and disease and suggest the relevance of Arid5a as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
EF24, a curcumin analog, exerts a potent anti-tumor effect on various cancers. However, whether EF24 retards the progression of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains unclear. In this study, we explored the role of EF24 in TNBC and clarified the underlying mechanism. In a mouse model of TNBC xenograft, EF24 administration reduced the tumor volume, suppressed cell proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis, and downregulated long non-coding RNA human leukocyte antigen complex group 11 (HCG11) expression. In TNBC cell lines, EF24 administration reduced cell viability, suppressed cell invasion, and downregulated HCG11 expression. HCG11 overexpression re-enhanced the proliferation and invasion of TNBC cell lines suppressed by EF24. The following mechanism research revealed that HCG11 overexpression elevated Sp1 transcription factor (Sp1) expression by reducing its ubiquitination, thereby enhanced Sp1-mediated cell survival and invasion in the TNBC cell line. Finally, the in vivo study showed that HCG11-overexpressed TNBC xenografts exhibited lower responsiveness in response to EF24 treatment. In conclusion, EF24 treatment reduced HCG11 expression, resulting in the degradation of Sp1 expression, thereby inhibiting the proliferation and invasion of TNBC cells.

Abstract
HLA is critical in a variety of diseases, including infectious disease and cancer, and has been used for diagnostic differentiation and immunosurveillance of certain diseases. In addition, emerging evidence suggests that the mutations and dysregulation of lncRNAs are essential contributors in cancers. HLA Complex Group 11 (HCG11) located on MHC region is affiliated with the lncRNA class. Studies have shown that HCG11 could serve as a key regulator in lung cancer, prostate cancer, glioma, cervical cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. In this review, we summarize the accumulated information on the expression and clinical value of HCG11 in different cancer types, discuss its interactions with microRNAs, mRNAs, and proteins, and discover the biological roles and potential mechanisms of HCG11 in a variety of cellular functions, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. Further, we emphasize the possible application of HCG11 in treatment, summarize the studies of HCG11 in chemotherapy resistance and hormone therapy, and propose the significance of further study of HCG11.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL-6) is a pleotropic cytokine with both tumor-promoting and -inhibitory effects on breast cancer growth. However, the mechanisms governing the outcome of IL-6 on cancer progression remain to be clarified. Our study unraveled a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) AU021063 downstream of IL-6 signaling. We found that IL-6 induced the expression of AU021063 predominantly in breast cancer compared to other cancer types. Mechanistically, IL-6 induced AT-rich interactive domain 5a (Arid5a) expression, which promotes the transcription of AU021063. In turn, AU021063 promotes breast cancer metastasis through stabilizing tribbles homolog 3 (Trib3) and activating Mek/Erk signaling pathway. Genetic ablation of either Arid5a, AU021063 or Trib3 abolished breast cancer metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Overall, our study highlights the importance of IL-6-Arid5a-AU021063 axis in regulating breast cancer invasiveness and metastasis, which may provide potential novel therapeutics for breast cancer.

Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:3530.

Abstract
Despite improvements in the treatment of endocrine-resistant metastatic disease using combination therapies in patients with estrogen receptor α (ERα) primary tumors, the mechanisms underlying endocrine resistance remain to be elucidated. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNA) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA), are targets and regulators of cell signaling pathways and their exosomal transport may contribute to metastasis. Previous studies have shown that a low expression of miR-29a-3p and miR-29b-3p is associated with lower overall breast cancer survival before 150 mos. Transient, modest overexpression of miR-29b1-3p or miR-29a-3p inhibited MCF-7 tamoxifen-sensitive and LCC9 tamoxifen-resistant cell proliferation. Here, we identify miR-29b-1/a-regulated and non-regulated differentially expressed lncRNAs in MCF-7 and LCC9 cells using next-generation RNA seq. More lncRNAs were miR-29b-1/a-regulated in LCC9 cells than in MCF-7 cells, including DANCR, GAS5, DSCAM-AS1, SNHG5, and CRND. We examined the roles of miR-29-regulated and differentially expressed lncRNAs in endocrine-resistant breast cancer, including putative and proven targets and expression patterns in survival analysis using the KM Plotter and TCGA databases. This study provides new insights into lncRNAs in endocrine-resistant breast cancer.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally control expression of genes by targeting mRNAs. miRNA alterations partake in the establishment and progression of different types of human cancer. Consequently, expression profiling of miRNA in human cancers has correlations with cancer detection, staging, progression, and response to therapies. Particularly, amplification, deletion, abnormal pattern of epigenetic factors and the transcriptional factors that mediate regulation of primary miRNA frequently change the landscape of miRNA expression in cancer. Indeed, changes in the quantity and quality of miRNAs are associated with the initiation of cancer, its progression and metastasis. Additionally, miRNA profiling has been used to categorize genes that can affect oncogenic pathways in cancer. Here, we discuss several circulating miRNA signatures, their expression profiles in different types of cancer and their impacts on cellular processes.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease, and it is the leading cause of death among women. NORAD and HCG11 are highly similar lncRNAs that present binding sites for PUMILIO proteins. PUMILIO acts on hundreds of mRNA targets, contributing to the modulation of gene expression. We analyzed the expression levels of NORAD and HCG11 in the BC subtypes luminal A (LA) and basal-like (BL), and the regulatory networks associated with these lncRNAs. In the analysis of TCGA cohort (n=329) and Brazilian BC samples (n=44), NORAD was up-regulated in LA while HCG11 was up-regulated in BL subtype. An increased expression of NORAD is associated with reduced disease-free survival in basal-like patients (p = 0.002), which suggests that its prognostic value could be different in specific subtypes. The biological pathways observed for the HCG11 network are linked to the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition; while NORAD associated pathways appear to be related to luminal epithelial cell transformation. NORAD and HCG11 regulons respectively present 36% and 21.5% of PUMILIO targets, which suggests that these lncRNAs act as a decoy for PUMILIO. These lncRNAs seem to work as players in the differentiation process that drives breast cells to acquire distinct phenotypes related to a specific BC subtype.

Abstract
The long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that are more than 200 nucleotides in length, and one of several types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). The lncRNAs function in diverse biological processes in normal cells, such as cellular differentiation and cell cycle regulation. There is also evidence that some aberrantly regulated lncRNAs function as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes in various cancers. For example, TTN-AS1 is a lncRNA that binds to titin mRNA (TTN) and has pro-oncogenic effects in many cancers. Overexpression of TTN-AS1 correlates with poor prognosis in breast cancer, lung cancer, digestive system neoplasms, reproductive system cancers, and other cancers. Furthermore, increased TTN-AS1 expression correlates with more advanced pathology and tumor malignancy. In this review, we comprehensively summarize recent studies on the molecular mechanisms of TTN-AS1 regulation and the role of TTN-AS1 in the carcinogenesis and progression of numerous tumors.

Abstract
The incidence of cancer is growing worldwide, and it is becoming the most common cause of death. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of RNA transcripts with a length larger than 200 nucleotides that cannot encode proteins or peptides. LncRNAs regulate different biological functions by controlling gene expressions at transcriptional, translational, and post-translational levels. Non-coding RNA activated by DNA damage (NORAD) is a highly conserved lncRNA necessary for genome stability. LncRNA NORAD is dysregulated in various types of cancers. This biomarker has been involved in numerous processes associated with carcinogeneses, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and metastasis. In this paper, we reviewed the role of lncRNA NORAD and its biological functions in various human cancers to provide future research insights.
