Cao J, Kong W, Xiao X. LINC00115 aggravates thyroid cancer progression by targeting miR-489-3p, which downregulates EVA1A to regulate the Hippo signaling pathway. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30331. [PMID: 38742050 PMCID: PMC11089325 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
LINC00115 has been documented to regulate many different cancers; however, its function in thyroid cancer (THCA) remains unexplored. Therefore, we examined the effects of LINC00115 on THCA and the associated molecular mechanisms. In THCA cell lines and tumor samples, the expression levels of LINC00115, miR-489-3p, and EVA1A were analyzed by qRT-PCR along with respective controls. Cell viability, migration, and apoptosis were analyzed by employing CCK-8, transwell, and western blotting assays, respectively. Xenograft experiments were done to assess in vivo tumor growth. The interaction among LINC00115, miR-489-3p, and EVA1A was tested using RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays. Key proteins of the Hippo signaling pathway were ascertained by western blotting. The outcomes elucidated that LINC00115 was overexpressed in THCA cell lines and tumor tissues. LIN00115 knockdown reduced in vitro proliferation and migration but facilitated apoptosis in THCA cells and inhibited in vivo tumor growth. The target of LINC00115 was miR-489-3p, which binds to EVA1A in THCA. Functional assays revealed that miR-489-3p inhibition boosted THCA cell proliferation and migration, but hindered apoptosis. However, EVA1A knockdown resulted in the opposite effects via the Hippo signaling pathway. Additionally, miR-489-3p inhibition partially negated the effects of LINC00115 knockdown in THCA cells, and EVA1A knockdown remarkably impeded the effects of miR-489-3p inhibition in THCA cells. Thus, LINC00115 knockdown suppressed THCA carcinogenesis via targeting miR-489-3p, which regulates EVA1A expression and affects the Hippo signaling pathway.

Wang X, Li H, Li N, Yang H, Bai X. LncRNA BCRT1 depletion suppresses cervical cancer cell growth via sponging miR-432-5p/CCR7 axis. 3 Biotech 2024; 14:17.

Abstract
Breast cancer-related transcript 1 (BCRT1), a lncRNA that is overexpressed in several human cancers, facilitates the progression of breast cancer and osteosarcoma. Nevertheless, the function of BCRT1 in cervical cancer (CC) still remains unknown. In this study, BCRT1 was significantly overexpressed in CC tissues and correlated with the advanced stage of CC patients. BCRT1 depletion dampened CC cell proliferation, and drives cell apoptosis and cell cycle inhibition. Mechanistically, BCRT1 bound miR-432-5p and negatively modulated miR-432-5p's expression in CC cells. Reduced miR-452-3p expression was observed in CC tissues and exerted tumor suppressive function in CC cell growth. Further mechanism study revealed that CCR7 was clarified as a target of miR-432-5p and was inhibited following BCRT1 depletion. CCR7 transfection could recover CC cell growth that was suppressed with BCRT1 down-regulation. These results revealed the novel function of BCRT1/miR-432-5p/CCR7 pathway in CC, suggesting BCRT1 might be a potential biomarker and target for CC treatment.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the most common female malignancies. Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the main causative agents of virtually all cervical carcinomas. Nevertheless, emerging evidence has demonstrated that a small proportion of cervical cancer patients are HPV negative. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified to play a crucial role in cervical cancer development. Here, this review describes the incidence and development of HPV-negative cervical cancer. Moreover, HPV-negative cervical cancers are more likely diagnosed at non-squamous type, older ages, more advanced stage and metastases, and associated with poorer prognosis as compared to HPV-positive cervical cancer. Furthermore, the significant role and functions of lncRNAs underlying HPV-negative cervical cancer is clarified.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative tumors distinguish from cancers associated with HPV infection. Due to its high rate of lymph node metastasis and difficulty in inchoate discover and diagnosis, the treatment efficacy of HPV-negative cancers is unsatisfactory. Epidemiological evidence suggests that HPV-negative tumor patients have a poor prognosis, and the mortality is higher than that of cancer patients caused by HPV infection. Evidence has demonstrated that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a crucial role in regulation of physiological and developmental processes. Therefore, dysregulated ncRNAs are involved in the occurrence of diversified diseases, including cancer. In cumulative studies, ncRNAs are concerned with pathogenetic mechanisms of HPV-negative tumors via regulating gene expression and signal transduction. It is important to decipher the functions of ncRNAs in HPV-negative cancers and identify the potential biomarkers, which will bring new treatment strategies for improving outcome of cancer therapy. In this review, we demonstrated the effects of ncRNAs via regulating the development and progression of HPV- negative tumors by directly or indirectly acting on target molecules, which provide a basis for future tumor targeted therapy by targeting ncRNAs for HPV-negative cancers.
