LINC00355 promotes gastric carcinogenesis by scaffolding p300 to activate CDC42 transcription and enhancing HNRNPA2B1 to stabilize CDC42 mRNA dependent on m6A. Mol Carcinog 2024; 63:430-447. [PMID: 37983727 DOI: 10.1002/mc.23662] [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: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
LINC00355 is involved in the tumorigenesis of several types of cancer. We verified that LINC00355 is upregulated in gastric cancer (GC) and contributes to GC cells' proliferation and metastasis. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and rescue assays suggested that LINC00355 controls gastric carcinogenesis by regulating the expression of cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) guanosine triphosphatase (GTPases), thereby activating their downstream pathways. Most previous studies have shown that LINC00355 acts as a ceRNA by sponging miRNAs to modulate downstream gene expression. Our group focus on epigenetic regulatory potential of LINC00355 in gene expression. Mechanistically, LINC00355 binds to p300 histone acetyltransferase, specifying the histone modification pattern on the CDC42 promoter to activate CDC42 transcription, thereby altering GC cell biology. In addition, HNRNPA2B1, which is upregulated by LINC00355, recognizes the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) sites of CDC42 and enhances the stability of CDC42 mRNA transcripts. Therefore, LINC00355 is mechanistically, functionally, and clinically oncogenic in GC cells.

Caserta S, Stagno F, Gangemi S, Allegra A. Highlights on the Effects of Non-Coding RNAs in the Osteonecrosis of the Jaw. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1598. [PMID: 38338876 PMCID: PMC10855359 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25031598] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaw is the progressive loss and destruction of bone affecting the maxilla or mandible in patients treated with antiresorptive and antiangiogenic agents without receiving prior radiation therapy. The pathogenesis involves the inflammatory pathway of receptor activator of nuclear factor NF-kB ligand and the macrophage colony-stimulating factor, essential for osteoclast precursors survival and proliferation and acting through its receptor c-Fms. Evidence has shown the role of non-coding RNAs in the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis of the jaw and this finding might be useful in diagnosis since these small RNAs could be considered as biomarkers of apoptotic activity in bone. Interestingly, it has been proved that miR-29 and miR-31-5p, acting on specific targets such as CALCR and RhoA, promote programmed-cell death and consequently the necrosis of bone tissue. Specific long non-coding RNAs, instead, have been detected both at reduced levels in patients with multiple myeloma and osteonecrosis, and associated with suppression of osteoblast differentiation, with consequences in the progression of mandible lesions. Among non-coding genic material, circular RNAs have the capability to modify the expression of specific mRNAs responsible for the inhibition of bisphosphonates activity on osteoclastogenesis.

J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:13. [PMID: 38169408 PMCID: PMC10763026 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04464-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study is aimed to delve into the crucial proteins associated with hormonal osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and its intra-articular lesions through data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics and bioinformatics analysis. METHODS We randomly selected samples from eligible ONFH patients and collected samples from the necrotic area of the femoral head and load-bearing cartilage. The control group comprised specimens from the same location in patients with femoral neck fractures. With DIA proteomics, we quantitatively and qualitatively tested both groups and analyzed the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between groups. Additionally, we enriched the analysis of DEP functions using gene ontology terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways and verified the key proteins in ONFH through Western blot. RESULTS Proteomics experiment uncovered 937 common DEPs (422 upregulated and 515 downregulated) between the two groups. These DEPs mainly participate in biological processes such as hidden attributes, catalytic activity, molecular function regulators, and structural molecule activity, and in pathways such as starch and sucrose metabolism, ECM-receptor interaction, PI3K-Akt signaling, complement and coagulation cascades, IL-17 signaling, phagosome, transcriptional misregulation in cancers, and focal adhesion. Through protein-protein interaction network target gene analysis and Western blot validation, we identified C3, MMP9, APOE, MPO, LCN2, ELANE, HPX, LTF, and THBS1 as key proteins in ONFH. CONCLUSIONS With DIA proteomics and bioinformatics analysis, this study reveals the molecular mechanisms of intra-articular lesions in ONFH. A correlation in the necrotic area and load-bearing cartilage of ONFH at ARCO stages IIIB-IV as well as potential key regulatory proteins was identified. These findings will help more deeply understand the pathogenesis of ONFH and may provide important clues for seeking more effective treatment strategies.

Abstract
Breast cancer, as the most prevalent female malignancy, leads the cancer-related death in women worldwide. Local anesthetic chloroprocaine exhibits antitumor potential, but its specific functions and underlying molecular mechanisms in breast cancer remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated chloroprocaine significantly inhibited proliferation, invasion and induced apoptosis of breast cancer cells in vitro. Tumor growth and pulmonary metastasis were also suppressed in BABL/c nude mice model with chloroprocaine treatment. LINC00494 was identified as one of the most downregulated long noncoding RNAs in chloroprocaine-treated breast cancer cells by high-throughput sequencing. Futhermore, high level of LINC00494 was positively associated with poor outcome of breast cancer patients. LINC00494 acted as a "miRNAs sponge" to compete with MED19 for the biding of miR-3619-5p, led to the upregulation of MED19. LINC00494/miR-3619-5p/MED19 axis participated in chloroprocaine-mediated inhibition of proliferation, invasion and promotion of apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Consequently, our finding suggested local anesthetic chloroprocaine attenuated breast cancer aggressiveness through LINC00494-mediated signaling pathway, which detailly revealed the clinical value of chloroprocaine during breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Background Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common hip joint disease, which is more harmful and seriously affects the lives of patients. This study aims to clarify the regulatory mechanism of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in ONFH. Methods The expression of the protein and mRNA was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot assay. The regulatory mechanism of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 was detected by the dual-luciferase reporter assay, CCK-8 assay, and flow cytometry assay. Results Dex can inhibit cell proliferation and differentiation and induce apoptosis in hBMSCs in a dose-dependent manner. Overexpression of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 promoted cell proliferation and restrained apoptosis in Dex-treated hBMSCs. In addition, lncRNA FGD5-AS1 acts as a sponge for miR-296-5p. Also, miR-296-5p directly targets STAT3. More importantly, miR-296-5p and STAT3 can affect the function of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in Dex-treated hBMSCs. Conclusion lncRNA FGD5-AS1 promotes cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis in steroid-induced ONFH through acting as a sponge for miR-296-5p and upregulation of STAT3.

Integrated Analysis of miRNA-mRNA Regulatory Networks Associated with Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:8076598.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) accounts for as many as 18% of total hip arthroplasties. Knowledge of genetic changes and molecular abnormalities could help identify individuals considered to be at a higher risk of developing ONFH. In this study, we sought to identify differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRs) and genes (DEGs) associated with ONFH by integrated bioinformatics analyses as well as to construct the miRNA-mRNA regulatory network involving in the pathogenesis of ONFH. We performed differential expression analysis using a gene expression profile GSE123568 and a miRNA expression profile GSE89587 deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus and identified 47 DEmiRs (24 upregulated miRNAs and 23 downregulated miRNAs) and 529 DEGs (218 upregulated genes and 311 downregulated genes). Gene Ontology enrichment analyses of DEGs suggested that DEGs were significantly enriched in neutrophil activation, cytosol, and ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses of DEGs revealed that DEGs were significantly enriched in transcriptional misregulation in cancer. DEGs-based miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks were obtained by searching miRNA-mRNA prediction databases, TargetScan, miTarBase, miRMap, miRDB, and miRanda databases. Then, overlapped miRNAs were selected between these putative miRNAs and DEmiRs between ONFH and non-ONFH, and pairs of the DEmiR-DEG regulatory network were finally depicted. There were 12 nodes and 64 interactions for upDEmiR-downDEG regulatory networks and 6 nodes and 16 interactions for downDEmiR-upDEG regulatory networks. Using the STRING database, we established a protein-protein interaction network based on the overlapped DEGs between ONFH and non-ONFH. C5AR1, CDC27, CDC34, KAT2B, CPPED1, TFDP1, and MX2 were identified as the hub genes. The present study characterizes the miRNA profile, gene profile, and miRNA-mRNA regulatory network in ONFH, which may contribute to the interpretation of the pathogenesis of ONFH and the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for ONFH.
