Various LncRNA Mechanisms in Gene Regulation Involving miRNAs or RNA-Binding Proteins in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Main Signaling Pathways and Networks. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:13617. [PMID: 37686426 PMCID: PMC10487663 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241713617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial players in the pathogenesis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A competing binding of lncRNAs and mRNAs with microRNAs (miRNAs) is one of the most common mechanisms of gene regulation by lncRNAs in NSCLC, which has been extensively researched in the last two decades. However, alternative mechanisms that do not depend on miRNAs have also been reported. Among them, the most intriguing mechanism is mediated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) such as IGF2BP1/2/3, YTHDF1, HuR, and FBL, which increase the stability of target mRNAs. IGF2BP2 and YTHDF1 may also be involved in m6A modification of lncRNAs or target mRNAs. Some lncRNAs, such as DLGAP1-AS2, MALAT1, MNX1-AS1, and SNHG12, are involved in several mechanisms depending on the target: lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA interactome and through RBP. The target protein sets selected here were then analyzed using the DAVID database to identify the pathways overrepresented by KEGG, Wikipathways, and the Reactome pathway. Using the STRING website, we assessed interactions between the target proteins and built networks. Our analysis revealed that the JAK-STAT and Hippo signaling pathways, cytokine pathways, the VEGFA-VEGFR2 pathway, mechanisms of cell cycle regulation, and neovascularization are the most relevant to the effect of lncRNA on NSCLC.

Connection of Cancer Exosomal LncRNAs, Sponging miRNAs, and Exosomal Processing and Their Potential Modulation by Natural Products. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15082215. [PMID: 37190145 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15082215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Cancerous exosomes contain diverse biomolecules that regulate cancer progression. Modulating exosome biogenesis with clinical drugs has become an effective strategy for cancer therapy. Suppressing exosomal processing (assembly and secretion) may block exosomal function to reduce the proliferation of cancer cells. However, the information on natural products that modulate cancer exosomes lacks systemic organization, particularly for exosomal long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). There is a gap in the connection between exosomal lncRNAs and exosomal processing. This review introduces the database (LncTarD) to explore the potential of exosomal lncRNAs and their sponging miRNAs. The names of sponging miRNAs were transferred to the database (miRDB) for the target prediction of exosomal processing genes. Moreover, the impacts of lncRNAs, sponging miRNAs, and exosomal processing on the tumor microenvironment (TME) and natural-product-modulating anticancer effects were then retrieved and organized. This review sheds light on the functions of exosomal lncRNAs, sponging miRNAs, and exosomal processing in anticancer processes. It also provides future directions for the application of natural products when regulating cancerous exosomal lncRNAs.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common malignancy worldwide. miR-119-3p is down regulated in many cancers. Nonetheless, the modulatory mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in NSCLC is unclear. Our research aims to dissect the activity of BMSCs on NSCLC and
underlying mechanisms. After isolation and identification, BMSCs were co-cultured with NSCLC cells, which were transfected with miR-119-3p mimics followed by analysis of expression of miR-119-3p and tumor aggressiveness-related proteins, cell invasion/migration and survival. A significantly
reduced miR-119-3p level was found in NSCLC cell lines. miR-119-3p mimics inhibited the proliferative, migrating and invasive behaviors of NSCLC cells. Co-culture with BMSCs enhanced miR-119-3p expression in NSCLC cells, thereby suppressing NSCLC cell biological behaviors. Simultaneously,
the EMT process was markedly restrained, as indicated by an elevated level of E-cadherin but diminished levels of Vimetnin, N-cadherin and Snail. In conclusion, BMSCs can interfere with the EMT process of NSCLC via up-regulatingmiR-119-3p, thereby retarding the aggressive migration and invasive
capability of NSCLC cells.

Abstract
Pulmonary artery vascular endothelial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the occurrence and progression of pulmonary vascular remodeling (PVR). To address this, aberrantly expressed non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) are excellent therapeutic targets in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAECs). Here, we discovered and validated the overexpression of miRNA-152 in HPAECs under hypoxia and its role in endothelial cell dysfunction. We constructed a framework nucleic acids nanostructure that harbors six protruding single-stranded DNA segments that can fully hybridize with miRNA-152 (DNT-152). DNT-152 was efficiently taken up by HPAECs with increasing time and concentration; it markedly induced apoptosis, and inhibited HPAEC growth under hypoxic conditions. Mechanistically, DNT-152 silenced miRNA-152 expression and upregulated its target gene Meox2, which subsequently inhibited the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. These results indicate that miRNA-152 in HPAECs may be an excellent therapeutic target against PVR, and that framework nucleic acids with carefully designed sequences are promising nanomedicines for noncancerous cells and diseases.

Abstract
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Concern was raised about the reliability of the Western blot results in Figs. 2B and 5I+J, which appear to have the same eyebrow shaped phenotype as many other publications tabulated here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/149EjFXVxpwkBXYJOnOHb6RhAqT4a2llhj9LM60MBffM/edit#gid=0). In addition, Fig. 4B appears to show a digital composition of xenografted tumors. The journal requested the corresponding author comment on these concerns and provide the raw data. However the authors were not able to satisfactorily fulfil this request and therefore the Editor-in-Chief decided to retract the article.

Thorac Cancer 2020; 11:2877-2886.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have shown that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is involved in various human diseases including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study was to explore the potential role of lncRNA HCG11 in the pathogenesis of NSCLC. METHODS The mRNA expression of HCG11, miR-522-3p and SOCS5 was detected by RT-qPCR. The regulatory mechanism of lncRNA HCG11 was investigated by CCK-8, transwell and dual luciferase reporter assays. RESULTS Downregulation of lncRNA HCG11 and upregulation of miR-522-3p were found in NSCLC tissues and cells, and abnormal expressions of lncRNA HCG11 and miR-522-3p were related to adverse clinical outcomes of NSCLC patients. LncRNA HCG11 acted as a molecular sponge for miR-522-3p. Functionally, lncRNA HCG11 inhibited cell viability, migration and invasion in NSCLC by downregulating miR-522-3p. Further, miR-522-3p directly targeted SOCS5. lncRNA HCG11 could positively regulate SOCS5 expression in NSCLC. In addition, HCG11 downregulation or miR-522-3p overexpression abolished the inhibitory effect of SOCS5 on cell viability, migration and invasion in NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA HCG11 inhibits cell viability, migration and invasion in NSCLC by functioning as a ceRNA of miR-522-3p to upregulate SOCS5.
