[PMID: 38072399 PMCID: PMC10948988 DOI: 10.3802/jgo.2024.35.e21] [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: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is one of the most common gynecological malignant tumors. Our study showed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) linc01194 plays an important role in EC. We explored the mechanism of lncRNA linc01194 in EC. METHODS The expression of lncRNA linc01194 was detected in The Cancer Genome Atlas database and starBase database. The potential targeted protein of linc01194 was predicted through the starBase database. To determine the role of linc01194 in EC, we downregulated or upregulated the level of linc01194 in EC cell lines and analyzed the cell behaviors and the changes of its potential target proteins. RESULTS The expression of linc01194 in EC tissues is higher than that in normal endometrial tissues. The knockdown of linc01194 inhibited the cell proliferation, invasion and migration and promoted the apoptosis of EC cells, while overexpression of linc01194 promoted cell proliferation, invasion and migration and inhibited the apoptosis of EC cells. The starBase database revealed that linc01194 could bind to insulin-like growth factor 2 binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1). Previous results showed that in EC, IGF2BP1 could promote the expression of sex-determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) by promoting the stability of SOX2 mRNA. Our results showed that linc01194 regulate the expression of IGF2BP1 and SOX2. CONCLUSION Linc01194 can promote the expression of downstream protein SOX2 through binding to IGF2BP1, thus promoting the occurrence and development of EC.

Abstract
CEMIP is a protein known for inducing cell migration and binding to hyaluronic acid. Functioning as a hyaluronidase, CEMIP primarily facilitates the breakdown of the extracellular matrix component, hyaluronic acid, thereby regulating various signaling pathways. Recent evidence has highlighted the significant role of CEMIP in different cancers, associating it with diverse pathological states. While identified as a biomarker for several diseases, CEMIP's mechanism in cancer seems distinct. Accumulating data suggests that CEMIP expression is triggered by chemical modifications to itself and other influencing factors. Transcriptionally, chemical alterations to the CEMIP promoter and involvement of transcription factors such as AP-1, HIF, and NF-κB regulate CEMIP levels. Similarly, specific miRNAs have been found to post-transcriptionally regulate CEMIP. This review provides a comprehensive summary of CEMIP's role in various cancers and explores how both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms control its expression.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) longer than 200nt. They have complex biological functions and take part in multiple fundamental biological processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, survival and apoptosis. Recent studies suggest that lncRNAs modulate critical regulatory proteins involved in cancer cell cycle, such as cyclin, cell cycle protein-dependent kinases (CDK) and cell cycle protein-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKI) through different mechanisms. To clarify the role of lncRNAs in the regulation of cell cycle will provide new ideas for design of antitumor therapies which intervene with the cell cycle progression. In this paper, we review the recent studies about the controlling of lncRNAs on cell cycle related proteins such as cyclin, CDK and CKI in different cancers. We further outline the different mechanisms involved in this regulation and describe the emerging role of cell cycle-related lncRNAs in cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
The Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) class of serine/threonine kinases has crucial roles in the regulation of cell cycle transition and is mainly involved in the pathogenesis of cancers. The expression of CDKs is controlled by a complex regulatory network comprised of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, which are dysregulated during the progression of cancer. The abnormal activation of CDKs results in uncontrolled cancer cell proliferation and the induction of cancer stem cell characteristics. The levels of CDKs can be utilized to predict the prognosis and treatment response of cancer patients, and further understanding of the function and underlying mechanisms of CDKs in human tumors would pave the way for future cancer therapies that effectively target CDKs. Defects in the regulation of cell cycle and mutations in the genes coding cell-cycle regulatory proteins lead to unrestrained proliferation of cells leading to formation of tumors. A number of treatment modalities have been designed to combat dysregulation of cell cycle through affecting expression or activity of CDKs. However, effective application of these methods in the clinical settings requires recognition of the role of CDKs in the progression of each type of cancer, their partners, their interactions with signaling pathways and the effects of suppression of these kinases on malignant features. Thus, we designed this literature search to summarize these findings at cellular level, as well as in vivo and clinical levels.

[PMID: 35836137 PMCID: PMC9281112 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-09848-y] [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: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug resistance is a considerable challenge for chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Propofol, a commonly used intravenous anesthetics, has been reported to suppress the malignancy of various cancers. However, the effects of propofol on cisplatin (DDP) sensitivity in NSCLC and its molecular mechanisms have not been clearly clarified yet, and the present study aimed to resolve this problem. METHODS NSCLC cells were co-treated with propofol and DDP, Cell Counting kit-8 assay, colony formation assay and flow cytometry were conducted to test the role of propofol in regulating DDP-resistance in NSCLC. Next, through conducting quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, dual-luciferase gene reporter system and western blot, the responsible molecular axis in propofol regulating the DDP sensitivity in NSCLC was uncovered, and the function verification experiments were performed by transfection with the inhibitors or small interfering RNAs of those molecules. RESULTS Propofol suppressed cell viability, colony formation ability, tumorigenesis, and promoted cell apoptosis to enhance DDP-sensitivity in NSCLC in vitro and in vivo. Propofol increased miR-486-5p level in NSCLC cells and xenograft tumors tissues in a N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-dependent manner, thus inactivating the Ras-associated protein1 (RAP1)-NF-kappaB (NF-κB) axis. Propofol regulated the miR-486-5p/RAP1-NF-κB axis to improve DDP-sensitivity in NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, this study firstly investigates the detailed molecular mechanisms by which propofol enhanced DDP-sensitivity in NSCLC cells, and a novel m6A-dependent miR-486-5p/RAP1-NF-κB axis is identified to be closely associated with the process.

Cancer Lett 2022; 544:215797.

Abstract
Long intergenic nonprotein coding RNA 1194 (LINC01194) has been reported as an oncogene in several cancer types, but its expression and potential role in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are still unclear. We found that LINC01194 was significantly highly expressed in TNBC based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Data from in vitro experiments and in vivo assays demonstrated that LINC01194 promoted TNBC progression. Through bioinformatics prediction, mass spectrometry, and mechanical experiments, we found that LINC01194 could recruit nuclear mitotic apparatus protein 1 (NUMA1) to bind to the untranslated region (3'UTR) of ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 C (UBE2C) 3' and stabilize UBE2C mRNA. Moreover, we found that UBE2C acted as an ubiquitin ligase to promote the ubiquitination and degradation of ryanodine receptor type 2 (RYR2) that inhibited the progression of TNBC by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In summary, LINC01194 activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and accelerates the malignant progression of TNBC by recruiting NUMA1 to stabilize UBE2C mRNA and thus promotes RYR2 ubiquitination and degradation. These findings might provide a more effective therapeutic strategy for TNBC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lung cancer remains one of the common cancers worldwide. Both LncRNA PCAT7 and miR-486-5p are tightly correlated with NSCLC. However, the relationship between PCAT7 and miR-486-5p and the detailed mechanisms underlying the effect of PCAT7 on NSCLC are not discovered yet. METHODS GEPIA and ENCORI databases were used to determine the expression of PCAT7 in different cancers. CCK8, colony formation and Transwell assay were used to confirm the ability of cells. Luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to estimate the luciferase activity of the gene. Flow cytometry was used to compare cell cycle of NSCLC cells after indicated treatment. RESULTS GEPIA combined ENCORI database illustrated that LncRNA PCAT7 was upregulated dramatically in NSCLC. The mRNA level of PCAT7 cells was higher than that in normal cells. Silencing PCAT7 inhibited the progression of NSCLC cells significantly. Data from ENCORI website showed that miR-486-5p was the target of PCAT7 and was negatively controlled by it. The data also showed that CDK4 could be bound and negatively regulated by miR-486-5p. MiR-486-5p inhibitor or CDK4 could partly restore the inhibitory effect of PCAT7 in NSCLC cells. In addition, silencing PCAT7 could arrest cell cycle to S in addition to G2 stage while transfecting miR-486-5p inhibitor or CDK4 could partially eliminate the retarding effects. CONCLUSION In our study, we elaborated that LncRNA PCAT7 could promote the development of NSCLC cells by accelerating cell cycle via miR-486-5p/CDK4 axis.

Abstract
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a prevalent pregnancy disease characterized by insufficient trophoblast cell migration (HTR8/SVneo). Consequently, accelerating trophoblast cell proliferation might ameliorate PE. This study assessed the effects and molecular mechanisms of Sufentanil (SUF) on HTR8/SVneo cells proliferation. HTR8/SVneo cells and PE clinical samples were used. Peripheral blood was collected from PE patients’ samples, and microRNA (miR)-24-3p and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (HSD11B2) was analyzed in the blood and cells. HTR8/SVneo cells were treated with varying SUF concentrations or transfected with miR-24-3p mimics/inhibitors, or HSD11B2 elevation vector. CCK-8, colony formation, transwell, and flow cytometry assays were then carried out. Association of miR-24 − 3p with HSD11B2 was investigated. PE animal model was constructed using Wistar rats to verify SUF’s role on PE in vivo. According to the results, SUF boosted HTR8/SVneo cell proliferation, and inhibited miR-24-3p to accelerate HSD11B2. MiR-24-3p was increased in PE, while HSD11B2 was inhibited, and miR-24-3p targeted HSD11B2. HSD11B2 reversed miR-24-3p’s repression on HTR/SVneo cell advancement. SUF restrained PE’s progression in vivo and in vitro via mediating the miR-24-3p/HSD11B2 axis. In conclusion, SUF enhances HSD11B2 via repressing miR-24-3p, thereby suppressing PE’s progression. The study provides an insight into the possibility of using SUF as a novel therapeutic target for PE, which acts via combining with miR-24-3p.

Abstract
There is no clear treatment guideline or individualized treatment plan for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The aim of this study was to investigate more effective targets for TNBC-targeted therapy. MDA-MB-231 and BT549 cell lines were used to explore the function of LINC00649 on the proliferation, invasion, and migration of TNBC cells. A mice subcutaneous tumor model and a pulmonary metastasis model was established to identify the role of LINC00649 on the growth and metastasis of TNBC in vivo. LINC00649 was found to be a key molecule involved in the occurrence and development of TNBC by screening of public databases and detection of TNBC clinical samples. LINC00649 increased hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) mRNA stability and protein expression by interacting with the nuclear factor 90 (NF90)/NF45 complex. In vitro, interference with LINC00649 inhibits MDA-MB-231 and BT549 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and the addition of HIF-1α revised this effect. In vivo experiments showed that LINC00649 promoted the growth and metastasis of TNBC. We demonstrated that LINC00649 interacts with the NF90/NF45 complex to increase the mRNA stability of HIF-1α and up-regulate HIF-1α expression, thereby inducing the proliferation, invasion, and migration of TNBC cells as well as tumor growth and metastasis.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are linked with the occurrence and progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, circRNAs’ mechanism in developing resistance to RCC has not been clarified. This research assessed the role and mechanism of circular RNA circ Eps15-homology domain-containing protein 2 (EHD2) in the resistance of sunitinib (SU) to RCC. ACHN, 786-O, 769P, and HEK-293 T cells and RCC tissue samples were used for the investigations. The circEHD2 expression in RCC cells and tissues was determined through RT-qPCR. Association of circEHD2 with RCC histological grade of RCC was done through Chi-square. MiR-4731-5p, ABCF2, and circEHD2 were transfected into RCC cell lines. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to determine the interaction between miR-4731-5p, circEHD2, and ABCF2. MTT assay was used to analyze cell viability, while apoptosis was studied using flow cytometry. Colony-formation and transwell experiments were used to assess migration and invasion. The ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily F Member 2 (ABCF2) expression was analyzed through western blot. The results showed increased circEHD2 in SU-resistant RCC tissues and cell lines and implicated in RCC histological grade and SU resistance. Knock-down of circEHD2 down-regulated the resistance of RCC to SU in vitro and vivo; circEHD2 bound to miR-4731-5p to mediate ABCF2 in RCC; ABCF2 rescued the inhibitory effect of circEHD2 knock-down on SU resistance of RCC. In conclusion, circEHD2 enhances RCC resistance to SU via acting as a miR-4731-5p sponge to mediate ABCF2. MiR-4731-5p can target circEHD2 and ABCF2, thus providing a novel and effective therapeutic against renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a common bone malignancy in children and adolescents. Chemotherapeutic drug resistance is the major factor impacting the surgical outcome and prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma. This investigation assessed the role and mechanism of circular RNA_ANKIB1 in the development of osteosarcoma. The circular RNA (circ) _ANKIB1, microRNA (miR)-26b-5p, enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) expression in OS samples was investigated through RT-qPCR. The EZH2, multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), P-gp, and lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) protein expressions were analyzed through western blot. The association between circ_ANKIB1 and the occurrence of clinic-pathological features in OS patients was assessed; the circular features of circ_ANKIB1 were analyzed. The hFOB1.19, KHOS, U2-OS OS cells were used to study the semi-inhibitory concentration IC50 of Doxorubicin (DXR)-resistant cells, clone formation, invasion, and apoptosis. The luciferase assay was used to study the binding of circ-ANKIB1 with miR-26b-5p and the targeting of miR-26b-5p with EZH2. In vivo experiments were performed via subcutaneous tumorigenic experiments. MiR-26b-5p in OS tissues and cells and DXR-resistant OS tissues and cells was silenced while circ_ANKIB1 and EZH2 were elevated. Circ_ANKIB1 silencing elevated miR-26b-5p, repressed EZH2, MRP1, P-gp, LRP, IC50, and elevated OS advancement. Circ_ANKIB1 bind miR-26b-5p. Reduced miR-26b-5p revered the influence of silencing circ_ANKIB1 on DXR resistant OS cells. MiR-26b-5p targeted EZH2, and EZH2 elevation reversed the impact of increasing miR-26b-5p on DXR resistant cells. Circ_ANKIB1 silencing suppressed DXR-resistant OS cells in vivo. In conclusion, Circ_ANKIB1 binds miR-26b-5p and modulates EZH2 to accelerate the chemo-resistance of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The present study explored the role of lncRNA LINC01194, which is upregulated in HCC tissues and might be a vital regulator in HCC progression. Levels of LINC01194, microRNA (miR)-655-3p, and SMAD family member 5 (SMAD5) were assessed using reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The bioactivity of Huh-7 cells was assessed using cell counting kit-8 and transwell assays and flow cytometry. Western blotting was conducted to measure the expression of invasion- and apoptosis-related proteins. The relationships between lncRNA LINC01194 and miR-655-3p, and miR-655-3p and SMAD5 were predicted using StarBase and TargetScan, and further verified using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. LINC01194 was overexpressed in HCC cells and in clinical samples. ILINC01194 silencing suppressed proliferation and migration; however, it promoted apoptosis in HCC cell lines. We also confirmed that miR-655-3p could bind to LINC01194, and miR-655-3p was downregulated in HCC. The upregulation of miR-655-3p suppressed HCC cell invasion and migration, and enhanced the number of apoptotic cells. SMAD5, which was overexpressed in HCC cell lines, was directly targeted by miR-655-3p. Therefore, LINC01194 promoted HCC development by decreasing miR-655-3p expression and may serve as a promising therapeutic target for HCC patients.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) induced by bacteria LPS is characterized by the upregulation of the apoptosis rate of tissue cells and aggravation of inflammatory response. Although many studies have focused on the pathogenesis of this disease, its mechanism remains unknown. This study examined the regulatory role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC01194 in the progression of ALI through various bioinformatics analyses and experimental work, including ELISA assay, dual-luciferase reporter assay, biotinylated RNA pull-down assay, and western blot analysis. The result showed that the LINC01194 was overexpressed in the ALI-induced mice model. We observed a significant upregulation of LINC01194 in LPS-treated Mouse lung epithelial type II cells (MLE-12 cells) after 24 hrs of induction. Bioinformatics analysis, Elisa assay, qRT-PCR analysis, Biotinylated RNA pull-down assay, apoptosis test, and western blot analysis demonstrated that the LINC01194 could act as a miR-203a-3p sponge to activate the inflammatory response in LPS-induced ALI model through post-transcriptional upregulation of MIP-2. We showed that LINC01194 regulates the inflammatory response and apoptosis of LPS-induced mice and MLE-12 cells via the miR-203a-3p/MIP-2 axis. LINC01194 could be a potential biomarker for early diagnosis and the treatment of ALI.

Role of FUS-CHOP in Myxoid Liposarcoma via miR-486/CDK4 Axis. Biochem Genet 2021; 60:1095-1106.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the roles and relationship between FUsed in Sarcoma (FUS)-C/EBP HOmologous Protein (CHOP), microRNA (miR)-486 and cyclin dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) in myxoid liposarcoma, and determined whether FUS-CHOP can regulate proliferation and apoptosis of myxoid liposarcoma cells by regulating miR-486/CDK4 axis. The levels of miR-486, CDK4 and FUS-CHOP in myxoid liposarcoma samples/adjacent normal muscle tissues and myxoid liposarcoma/human adipose-derived stem cell line were evaluated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were performed using 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide and flow cytometry, respectively. Furthermore, the apoptosis-related proteins were determined using Western blot assay. We found that miR-486 was down-regulated, FUS-CHOP and CDK4 were up-regulated in myxoid liposarcoma tissues and myxoid liposarcoma cell lines. Moreover, FUS-CHOP-siRNA distinctly suppressed FUS-CHOP level and increased miR-486 levels in 1955/91 cells. Our results demonstrated that knockdown of FUS-CHOP by siRNA inhibited 1955/91 growth, promoted cell apoptosis and enhanced cleaved Caspase3 protein expression. However, all these data were reversed by miR-486 inhibitor. Similarly, compared to mimic control, miR-486 mimic markedly reduced 1955/91 cells growth, induced cell apoptosis and fortified cleaved Caspase3 level, while these results were abolished by CDK4-plasmid. Collectively, our observations clearly suggested that FUS-CHOP regulated myxoid liposarcoma cell proliferation and apoptosis by the regulation of miR-486/CDK4 axis, indicating the potential use of FUS-CHOP-siRNA as a promising therapy for myxoid liposarcoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, a novel crosstalk between non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has been casted. However, this has been seldomly investigated in metastatic BC (mBC). H19 and miR-486-5p role in mBC is controversial. ICAM-1 is a recently recognized metastatic engine in mBC. Natural compounds were recently found to alter ncRNAs/target circuits. Yet, Hesperitin modulatory role in altering such circuits has never been investigated in mBC. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of hesperitin on miR-486-5p/H19/ICAM-1 axis Methodology: BC patients (n=20) were recruited in the study. Bioinformatic analysis was performed using different prediction softwares. MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were cultured and transfected using several oligonucleotides or treated with serial dilutions of hesperitin. RNA was extracted and gene expression analysis was performed using q-RT-PCR. ICAM-1 protein levels were assessed using human ICAM-1 Elisa Kit. Cytotoxic potential of hesperitin against normal cells was assessed by LDH assay. Several functional analysis experiments were performed such as MTT, colony forming and migration assays. RESULTS The study showed that miR-486-5p and H19 has a paradoxical expression profiles in mBC patients. miR-486-5p mimics and H19 siRNAs repressed ICAM-1 and halted mBC hallmarks. A novel crosstalk between miR-486-5p and H19 was observed highlighting a bi-directional relationship between them. Hesperetin restored the expression of miR-486-5p, inhibited H19 lncRNA and ICAM-1 expression and selectively regressed mBC cell aggressiveness. CONCLUSION miR-486-5p and H19 are inter-connected upstream regulators for ICAM-1 building up miR-486-5p/H19/ICAM-1 axis that has been successfully tuned in mBC cells by hesperitin.

Abstract
Background It is increasingly evidenced that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in various diseases. LncRNA LINC01194 acts as an oncogene in several cancer types. Nevertheless, the role of LINC01194 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not yet been revealed. Methods qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of LINC01194, miR-641 and SETD7 mRNA, while western blot was exploited to examine SETD7 protein level. Cell proliferation was detected by colony formation and EdU assays. Transwell assays detected cell migration and invasion. TUNEL assay and flow cytometry analysis were used to detect cell apoptosis. RIP, RNA pull down and luciferase reporter assays detected the binding among LINC01194, miR-641 and SETD7. Results LINC01194 was significantly upregulated in LUAD tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of LINC01194 resulted in decreased cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and increased apoptosis. Mechanistic experiments unveiled that LINC01194 augmented SETD7 expression in LUAD cells by competitively interacting with miR-641. Rescue experiments showed that miR-641 inhibition and SETD7 overexpression rescued the repressing impacts on LUAD cell proliferation, migration and invasion caused by LINC01194 knockdown. Conclusion LINC01194 promotes the progression of LUAD by enhancing miR-641-targeted SETD7. The LINC01194/miR-641/SETD7 axis might provide new molecular targets for treating LUAD.
