Nasimi Shad A, Fanoodi A, Maharati A, Akhlaghipour I, Bina AR, Saburi E, Forouzanfar F, Moghbeli M. Role of microRNAs in tumor progression by regulation of kinesin motor proteins. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132347. [PMID: 38754673 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132347] [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: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Aberrant cell proliferation is one of the main characteristics of tumor cells that can be affected by many cellular processes and signaling pathways. Kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs) are motor proteins that are involved in cytoplasmic transportations and chromosomal segregation during cell proliferation. Therefore, regulation of the KIF functions as vital factors in chromosomal stability is necessary to maintain normal cellular homeostasis and proliferation. KIF deregulations have been reported in various cancers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and signaling pathways are important regulators of KIF proteins. MiRNAs have key roles in regulation of the cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. In the present review, we discussed the role of miRNAs in tumor biology through the regulation of KIF proteins. It has been shown that miRNAs have mainly a tumor suppressor function via the KIF targeting. This review can be an effective step to introduce the miRNAs/KIFs axis as a probable therapeutic target in tumor cells.

BUB1/KIF14 complex promotes anaplastic thyroid carcinoma progression by inducing chromosome instability. J Cell Mol Med 2024; 28:e18182. [PMID: 38498903 PMCID: PMC10948175 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.18182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Chromosome instability (CIN) is a common contributor driving the formation and progression of anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), but its mechanism remains unclear. The BUB1 mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase (BUB1) is responsible for the alignment of mitotic chromosomes, which has not been thoroughly studied in ATC. Our research demonstrated that BUB1 was remarkably upregulated and closely related to worse progression-free survival. Knockdown of BUB1 attenuated cell viability, invasion, migration and induced cell cycle arrests, whereas overexpression of BUB1 promoted the cell cycle progression of papillary thyroid cancer cells. BUB1 knockdown remarkably repressed tumour growth and tumour formation of nude mice with ATC xenografts and suppressed tumour metastasis in a zebrafish xenograft model. Inhibition of BUB1 by its inhibitor BAY-1816032 also exhibited considerable anti-tumour activity. Further studies showed that enforced expression of BUB1 evoked CIN in ATC cells. BUB1 induced CIN through phosphorylation of KIF14 at serine1292 (Ser1292 ). Overexpression of the KIF14ΔSer1292 mutant was unable to facilitate the aggressiveness of ATC cells when compared with that of the wild type. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that the BUB1/KIF14 complex drives the aggressiveness of ATC by inducing CIN.

Abstract
Retinoblastoma (RB) is a rare aggressive intraocular malignancy of childhood that has the potential to affect vision, and can even be fatal in some children. While the tumor can be controlled efficiently at early stages, metastatic tumors lead to high mortality. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are implicated in a number of physiological cellular process, including differentiation, proliferation, migration, and invasion, The deregulation of ncRNAs is correlated with several diseases, particularly cancer. ncRNAs are categorized into two main groups based on their length, i.e. short and long ncRNAs. Moreover, ncRNA deregulation has been demonstrated to play a role in the pathogenesis and development of RB. Several ncRNAs, such as miR-491-3p, miR-613,and SUSD2 have been found to act as tumor suppressor genes in RB, but other ncRNAs, such as circ-E2F3, NEAT1, and TUG1 act as tumor promoter genes. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of ncRNAs can provide new opportunities for RB therapy. In the present review, we discuss the functional roles of the most important ncRNAs in RB, their interaction with the genes responsible for RB initiation and progression, and possible future clinical applications as diagnostic and prognostic tools or as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Retinoblastoma is a familial inherited embryonic neuroretinal malignancy with a low survival rate and poor prognosis. Our study aimed to evaluate the potential interaction between microRNA miR-657 and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA) in retinoblastoma. Expression of miR-657 and PPARA was analyzed in retinoblastoma tissues and cells using RT-qPCR. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration were measured in retinoblastoma cell lines, and xenografting experiments were performed using nude mice. Our study showed that miR-657 expression was markedly increased, whereas that of PPARA was markedly decreased in retinoblastoma. Additionally, PPARA knockdown enhanced the development of retinoblastoma. miR-657 enhanced the retinoblastoma tumorigenesis by directly inhibiting PPARA expression, suggesting that PPARA targeting by miR-657 facilitates retinoblastoma development by enhancing cell growth. This study provides novel insights into the miR-657- and PPARA-mediated mechanisms underlying retinoblastoma progression and suggests that the interaction between miR-657 and PPARA may serve as an effective target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play essential roles in the progression of human tumors, including retinoblastoma (RB). In this study, we aimed to explore the functions and potential mechanisms of circ_0000527 in RB. METHODS Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blot assay and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay were conducted to determine the levels of circ_0000527, microRNA-1236-3p (miR-1236-3p) and SMAD family member 2 (SMAD2). RNase R assay and actinomycin D assay were conducted to analyze the characteristic of circ_0000527. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, and colony formation assay were performed for cell proliferation ability. Wound healing assay and transwell assay were applied to assess cell migration and invasion. Tube formation assay was utilized for angiogenesis ability. Flow cytometry analysis was adopted to analyze cell apoptosis. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were performed to analyze the relationships among circ_0000527, miR-1236-3p, and SMAD2. Murine xenograft model assay was conducted for the role of circ_0000527 in vivo. RESULTS Circ_0000527 was overexpressed in RB patients and related to advanced TNM stages, optic nerve invasion and choroidal invasion. Circ_0000527 knockdown suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis and promoted apoptosis in RB cells in vitro. Circ_0000527 sponged miR-1236-3p, which directly targeted SMAD2. MiR-1236-3p level was decreased in RB tissues and cells. MiR-1236-3p inhibition reversed circ_0000527 knockdown-mediated effects on RB cell malignant behaviors. Moreover, miR-1236-3p overexpression suppressed RB cell progression, with SMAD2 elevation abrogated the effect. Additionally, circ_0000527 knockdown restrained tumor formation in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Circ_0000527/miR-1236-3p/SMAD2 axis played a positive role in the progression of RB.

Abstract
We developed a novel nanostructure DNA probe for the in situ detection of ITGA1 and miR-192 in retinoblastoma (RB) and to study the correlation between ITGA1 and miR-192 expression and RB development. ITGA1 and miR-192 nanostructure DNA probes were carried by silica particles and coated by dioleoyl-trimethy-lammonium-propane, which enhances their organizational compatibility and infiltration capacity. This probe has stable physicochemical properties and high specificity and sensitivity to detect ITGA1 and miR-192 in situ both in RB cell lines and RB tissues. Using ITGA1 and miR-192 nanostructure DNA probes in RB tissue and cell lines, we found that the expression of ITAG1 drastically increased, but to the contrary, miR-192 was not expressed. After transfection, ITGA1 and miR-192 were overexpressed or silenced in RB116 cells, and we found that ITGA1 could effectively increase the activity and invasion of this RB cell line and reduce its apoptosis level, while miR-192 antagonized this tumor-promoting effect. Therefore, miR-192 can be used as an early biomarker of RB, and ITGA1 may be a new prognostic marker and therapeutic target for the treatment of RB.
