[PMID: 37566097 DOI: 10.1158/1535-7163.mct-23-0208] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023]
Abstract
A growing number of studies have demonstrated that cancer development is closely linked to abnormal gene expression, including alterations in the transcriptional activity of transcription factors. The Forkhead box class N (FOXN) proteins FOXN1-6 form a highly conserved class of transcription factors, which have been shown in recent years to be involved in the regulation of malignant progression in a variety of cancers. FOXNs mediate cell proliferation, cell-cycle progression, cell differentiation, metabolic homeostasis, embryonic development, DNA damage repair, tumor angiogenesis, and other critical biological processes. Therefore, transcriptional dysregulation of FOXNs can directly affect cellular physiology and promote cancer development. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the transcriptional activity of FOXNs is regulated by protein-protein interactions, microRNAs (miRNA), and posttranslational modifications (PTM). However, the mechanisms underlying the molecular regulation of FOXNs in cancer development are unclear. Here, we reviewed the molecular regulatory mechanisms of FOXNs expression and activity, their role in the malignant progression of tumors, and their value for clinical applications in cancer therapy. This review may help design experimental studies involving FOXN transcription factors, and enhance their therapeutic potential as antitumor targets.

MicroRNA-575 acts as a novel oncogene via targeting multiple signaling pathways in glioblastoma. Exp Mol Pathol 2022; 128:104813. [PMID: 35901926 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexmp.2022.104813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Glioblastoma (GBM) patients currently face poor survival outcomes with an average survival period of <15 months, while only 3-5% of patients survive longer than 36 months. Although the mechanisms of tumorigenesis are still being elucidated, miRNAs are promising candidates to explore as novel and prognostic biomarkers in GBM. In this study, we identified the association between miR-575 expression and overall survival (OS) of primary GBM patients and undertook functional studies to discern the contribution of miR-575 to GBM tumorigenesis. METHODS Total RNAs were isolated from 254 FFPE GBM tumor samples and miR expression was assayed (simultaneously) using NanoString Technologies. To determine the association between miR-575 and patients' prognosis, Kaplan-Meier, univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed. Cell proliferation, colony formation, migration assays were conducted to investigate the function of miR-575 in vitro and in vivo. In silico target gene network analysis was performed to identify the putative targets of miR-575 in GBM, which were further verified by luciferase reporter assay, as well as qPCR and immunoblotting. RESULTS Our clinical data (n = 254) show that miR-575 is associated with worse GBM OS by univariable analysis (UVA, HR = 1.27, p-value<0.001) and multivariable (MVA, HR = 1.23, p = 0.007) analysis incorporating critical clinical variables. Functional studies indicated that overexpression of miR-575 significantly increased cell proliferation and migration of GBM cells in vitro, as well as tumor growth in vivo. Subsequent in silico target gene network and mechanistic studies identified CDKN1B/p27 and PTEN, as potential targets of miR-575 in GBM. MicroRNA-575 can also regulate the activity of AKT and ERK pathways in GBM. CONCLUSION miR-575 has prognostic value in GBM, with higher expression associating with worse OS of patients, and contributes to GBM tumorigenesis by regulating multiple signaling pathways in GBM.

Abstract
Clinical outcomes of patients with neuroblastoma range from spontaneous tumor regression to fatality. Hence, understanding the mechanisms that cause tumor progression is crucial for the treatment of patients. In this study, we show that FOXR2 activation identifies a subset of neuroblastoma tumors with unfavorable outcome and we investigate the mechanism how FOXR2 relates to poor outcome in patients.

Long noncoding RNA LINC00520 accelerates lung adenocarcinoma progression via miR-1252-5p/FOXR2 pathway. Hum Cell 2021; 34:478-490.

Abstract
It has been corroborated that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) played fundamental function in various human malignancies development including lung adenocarcinoma (lung ADC). In our study, LINC00520 roles in lung ADC tumorigenesis were explored. We found that LINC00520 level was elevated in lung ADC tissues and cell lines. Besides, the LINC00520 expression had a negative connection with miR-1252-5p level in lung ADC tissues. Additionally, our results demonstrated the reciprocal repression influence between LINC00520 and miR-1252-5p. Moreover, luciferase reporter assays, RIP (RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation) and pull down assays revealed that miR-1252-5p regulated LINC00520 in RISC-dependent. Furthermore, knockdown of LINC00520 inhibited lung ADC cells proliferation, migration and invasion, while co-transfection with a miR-1252-5p inhibitor inverted these influences. Additionally, the findings also demonstrated that FOXR2 was a target of miR-1252-5p; thus, LINC00520 could regulate FOXR2 level. Moreover, LINC00520 silencing suppressed the tumor growth of lung ADC in vivo. In summary, our data indicated that LINC00520 may act as a ceRNA to modulated FOXR2 level by sponging miR-1252-5p, which might bring a potential and effective biomarker to lung ADC treatment.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor, and is a major health problem throughout the world. Today, researchers have discovered many risk factors that are associated with the initiation and progression of gliomas. Studies have shown that PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and PIWI proteins are involved in tumorigenesis by epigenetic mechanisms. Hence, it seems that piRNAs and PIWI proteins may be potential prognostic, diagnostic or therapeutic biomarkers in the treatment of glioma. Previous studies have demonstrated a relationship between piRNAs and PIWI proteins and some of the molecular and cellular pathways in glioma. Here, we summarize recent evidence and evaluate the molecular mechanisms by which piRNAs and PIWI proteins are involved in glioma. Video abstract

Abstract
Background Bladder cancer is a very common urological cancer globally, and cisplatin- or gemcitabine-based chemotherapy is essential for advanced bladder cancer patients. Many patients with bladder cancer have a relatively poor response to chemotherapy, leading to failure of clinical treatment. We mined the GSE77883 GEO dataset, identifying FoxR2 as being a significantly upregulated gene in T24 chemoresistant cells. Herein, we assessed how FoxR2 functions in bladder cancer cell chemoresistance. Material/Methods Cisplatin-resistant T24 (T24/DDP) cells were constructed by administering increasing concentrations of cisplatin, and differences in expression of FoxR2 were examined in T24/DDP and T24 cells. FoxR2 loss- and gain-of-function cells models were established in T24/DDP and T24 cells, respectively. Cell survival, clone formation, cell cycle, and cell apoptosis were assessed, and the MYC pathway was verified. Results FoxR2 was significantly upregulated in T24/DDP cells compared to T24 cells. Knockdown of FoxR2 in T24/DDP cells, survival rate, and clone formation were decreased, G1/S phase transition was suppressed, and cell apoptosis was promoted. These results were reversed by restoration of FoxR2 levels in T24 cells. We found that FoxR2 knockdown enhanced sensitivity to cisplatin, whereas MYC overexpression antagonized chemosensitivity in T24/DDP cells. Conclusions FoxR2 knockdown decreases chemoresistance to cisplatin via the MYC pathway in bladder cancer cells, and this may be a target for overcoming chemoresistance in bladder cancer.

Abstract
Medulloblastoma and central nervous system primitive neuroectodermal tumors (CNS-PNET) are aggressive, poorly differentiated brain tumors with limited effective therapies. Using Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon mutagenesis, we identified novel genetic drivers of medulloblastoma and CNS-PNET. Cross-species gene expression analyses classified SB-driven tumors into distinct medulloblastoma and CNS-PNET subgroups, indicating they resemble human Sonic hedgehog and group 3 and 4 medulloblastoma and CNS neuroblastoma with FOXR2 activation. This represents the first genetically induced mouse model of CNS-PNET and a rare model of group 3 and 4 medulloblastoma. We identified several putative proto-oncogenes including Arhgap36, Megf10, and Foxr2. Genetic manipulation of these genes demonstrated a robust impact on tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo. We also determined that FOXR2 interacts with N-MYC, increases C-MYC protein stability, and activates FAK/SRC signaling. Altogether, our study identified several promising therapeutic targets in medulloblastoma and CNS-PNET. SIGNIFICANCE: A transposon-induced mouse model identifies several novel genetic drivers and potential therapeutic targets in medulloblastoma and CNS-PNET.

Abstract
Circular RNA (circRNA) is a key regulator in the development and progression of human cancers. Previous studies confirmed circRNA‐0008717 (circABCB10) as an oncogene in osteosarcoma, but the regulatory effect of circABCB10 in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unclear. In the current study, we examined the expression of circABCB10 in different NSCLC cell lines. Bioinformatics analysis, Cell Counting Kit‐8 assays, Transwell migration, fluorescein reporting experiments, and xenografts in mice were used to detect the effect of circABCB10 on NSCLC cell proliferation and migration in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. The results showed that the expression of circABCB10 in NSCLC cell lines was increased. Downregulation of circABCB10 suppressed NSCLC cell proliferation and migration by promoting microRNA miR‐1252 expression and suppressing Forkhead box 2 (FOXR2). Fluorescein reporting experiments confirmed that circABCB10 expression increased FOXR2 levels by sponging miR‐1252, and in vivo experiments found that knockdown of circABCB10 decreased tumor growth. These data suggested that circABCB10 acted as a tumor promoter through a novel miR‐1252/FOXR2 axis, providing potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the management of NSCLC.
