Biochem Genet 2024:10.1007/s10528-024-10795-5.

Abstract
Drug resistance is the major difficulty in treatment of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). This study aims to explore drug response-related miRNAs (DRmiRNAs) based on multi-omics research. We identified DRmiRNAs of LUSC with a multi-omics integrated system that combines expression data of microRNA, lncRNA, mRNA, methylation levels, somatic mutations. After identifying DRmiRNAs, we screened and validated of the target mRNAs of DRmiRNAs through Targetscan and the miRDB database. Then, Real-time PCR and Western blot assays were used to estimate the expression of DRmiRNAs and target protein, and the dual-luciferase assays were used to confirm the interaction of DRmiRNAs and target mRNA. Furthermore, CCK-8 (Cell Counting Kit-8) assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation and drug sensitivity. After integrated analysis, hsa-miR-185-5p was identified as DRmiRNA based on multi-omics data. Through Targetscan and miRDB database, the possible target mRNAs were obtained and PCDHA11 was validated as a target mRNA of miR-185-5p by real-time PCR, Western blot assays and dual-luciferase assays. CCK-8 assays and clone formation assays showed that the proliferation of miR-185-5p mimics was significantly slower than that of miR-185-5p inhibitors, which means overexpression of miR-185-5p enhanced the anticancer effects of cisplatin, whereas the downregulation of miR-185-5p reduced the effects. Furthermore, the proliferation of silencing PCDHA11 was significantly slower than that of overexpression of PCDHA11, which means PCDHA11 overexpression weakened the anticancer effects of cisplatin, and silencing PCDHA11 enhanced the effects. This study demonstrated that miR-185-5p was involved in chemoresistance of LUSC cells to cisplatin partly via down-regulating PCDHA11, which may promote understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of drug response.

Tan K, Zhang C, He Z, Zeng P. Construction of an anoikis-associated lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network reveals the prognostic role of β-elemene in non-small cell lung cancer. Sci Rep 2023; 13:20185. [PMID: 37980372 PMCID: PMC10657389 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-46480-7] [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: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/20/2023] Open
Abstract
β-Elemene is the main active ingredient in Curcumae Rhizoma that exerts antitumour effects. Anoikis affects tumour development through various biological pathways in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the regulation between β-elemene and anoikis remains to be explored. First, we explored the molecular expression patterns of anoikis-associated genes (AAGs) using consensus clustering and characterized the impact of AAGs on patient prognosis, clinical characteristics, and genomic instability. In addition, we revealed that AAG regulatory genes have rich interactions with β-elemene targets, and established a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network to explain the effect of β-elemene on anoikis. Finally, to reveal the prognostic effect of their correlation, the prognostic scoring model and clinical nomogram of β-elemene and anoikis were successfully established by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and random forest algorithms. This prognostic scoring model containing noncoding RNA (ncRNA) can indicate the immunotherapy and mutational landscape, providing a novel theoretical basis and direction for the study of the antitumour mechanism of β-elemene in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) represents 85% of all cases. Accumulating evidence highlights the outstanding role of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) in regulating the tumorigenesis process by modulating crucial signaling pathways. Micro RNA (miRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA) are either up- or downregulated in lung cancer patients and can promote or suppress the progression of the disease. These molecules interact with messenger RNA (mRNA) and with each other to regulate gene expression and stimulate proto-oncogenes or silence tumor suppressors. NcRNAs provide a new strategy to diagnose or treat lung cancer patients and multiple molecules have already been identified as potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets. The aim of this review is to summarize the current evidence on the roles of miRNA, lncRNA and circRNA in NSCLC biology and present their clinical potential.

Abstract
Background and Objective Green tea is a popular beverage worldwide and has numerous health-promoting properties. Accumulating evidence indicates that green tea has preventive and therapeutic effects on lung cancer. This study aimed to investigate the association between green tea consumption and lung cancer. Methods We performed a narrative review to summarized the association between green tea consumption and lung cancer. Key Content and Findings Green tea consumption is known to decrease lung cancer risk in the general population, as indicated by meta-analyses of observational studies. Two active components of green tea, theabrownin and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), mediate the antitumor activity of green tea. Theabrownin promotes apoptosis, induces cell cycle arrest, and inhibits the migration, clone formation, and proliferation of lung cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo. EGCG inhibits lung cancer cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis, agenesis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In addition, EGCG sensitizes lung cancer cells to cisplatin and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The possible molecular mechanisms underlying the antitumor activity of EGCG and theabrownin were reviewed. Conclusions Observational studies have indicated that green tea has preventive effects on lung cancer. In vitro and animal studies have indicated that green tea has therapeutic effects on lung cancer. Further clinical trials are needed to illustrate the therapeutic effects of green tea or its active components (i.e., theabrownin, EGCG) on lung cancer.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the dominant emerging factor in cancer-related mortality around the globe. Therapeutic interventions for lung cancer are not up to par, mainly due to reoccurrence/relapse, chemoresistance, and late diagnosis. People are currently interested in miRNAs, which are small double-stranded (20–24 ribonucleotides) structures that regulate molecular targets (tumor suppressors, oncogenes) involved in tumorigeneses such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, and angiogenesis via post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA. Many studies suggest the emerging role of miRNAs in lung cancer diagnostics, prognostics, and therapeutics. Therefore, it is necessary to intensely explore the miRNOME expression of lung tumors and the development of anti-cancer strategies. The current review focuses on the therapeutic, diagnostic, and prognostic potential of numerous miRNAs in lung cancer.

Abstract
The altered regulatory status of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), miRNA, and mRNA and their interactions play critical roles in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and progression, which ultimately influence cancer prognosis. However, there are limited studies of comprehensive identification of prognostic biomarkers from combined data sets of the three RNA types in the highly metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The current study employed an integrative analysis framework of functional genomics approaches and machine learning methods to the lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA data and identified 16 RNAs (3 lncRNAs, 6 miRNAs, and 7 mRNAs) of prognostic value, with 9 of them novel. A 16 RNA-based score was established for prognosis prediction of ccRCC with significance (P < 0.0001). The area under the curve for the score model was 0.868 to 0.870 in the training cohort and 0.714 to 0.778 in the validation cohort. Construction of the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction network showed that the downstream mRNAs and upstream lncRNAs in the network initiated from the miRNA or lncRNA markers exhibit significant enrichment in functional classifications associated with cancer metastasis, proliferation, progression, or prognosis. The functional analysis provided clear support for the role of the RNA biomarkers in predicting cancer prognosis. This study provides promising biomarkers for predicting prognosis of ccRCC using multidimensional RNA data, and these findings are expected to facilitate potential clinical applications of the biomarkers.

Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9091079. [PMID: 34572265 PMCID: PMC8465705 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9091079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Revised: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 08/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The levels of different classes of extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) remain stable in bodily fluids. The detection of either enriched or depleted specific subsets of salivary microRNAs (miRNAs) has the potential to serve as a non-invasive approach for biomarker development. Thus, salivary miRNAs have emerged as a promising molecular tool for early diagnosis and screening of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Total RNA was extracted from saliva supernatant of 33 OSCC patients and 12 controls (discovery set), and the differential expression of 8 cancer-related miRNAs was detected by TaqMan assay. Among the screened miRNAs, miR-30c-5p (p < 0.04) was significantly decreased in OSCC saliva. The same transcriptional behavior of miR30c-5p was observed in an additional validation set. miR-30c-5p showed a significant statistical difference between cases and controls with areas under the curve (AUC) of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.71–0.89). The sensitivity and the specificity of miR-30c-5p were 86% and 74%, respectively. The target identification analysis revealed enrichment of miR-30c-5p targets in p53 and Wnt signaling pathways in OSCC. Additionally, the miR-30c-5p targets had clinical significance related to overall survival. In conclusion, these findings show that downregulated miR-30c-5p has the potential to serve as a novel, non-invasive biomarker for early OSCC detection.
