Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) are a class of non-coding RNAs greater than 200 bp in length with limited peptide-coding function. The transcription of LINC00152 is derived from chromosome 2p11.2. Many studies prove that LINC00152 influences the progression of various tumors via promoting the tumor cells malignant phenotype, chemoresistance, and immune escape. LINC00152 is regulated by multiple transcription factors and DNA hypomethylation. In addition, LINC00152 participates in the regulation of complex molecular signaling networks through epigenetic regulation, protein interactions, and competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA). Here, we provide a systematic review of the upstream regulatory factors of LINC00152 expression level in different types of tumors. In addition, we revisit the main functions and mechanisms of LINC00152 as driver oncogene and biomarker in pan-cancer. This article is categorized under: RNA in Disease and Development > RNA in Disease RNA Methods > RNA Analyses in Cells RNA Interactions with Proteins and Other Molecules > RNA-Protein Complexes.

[PMID: 36033524 PMCID: PMC9399773 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.960193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Long non-coding RNA LINC00152 (cytoskeleton regulator, or LINC00152) is an 828-bp lncRNA located on chromosome 2p11.2. LINC00152 was originally discovered during research on hepatocarcinogenesis and has since been regarded as a crucial oncogene that regulates gene expression in many cancer types. LINC00152 is aberrantly expressed in various cancers, including gastric, breast, ovarian, colorectal, hepatocellular, and lung cancer, and glioma. Several studies have indicated that LINC00152 is correlated with cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, cell cycle, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), chemotherapy and radiotherapy resistance, and tumor growth and metastasis. High LINC00152 expression in most tumors is significantly associated with poor patient prognosis. Mechanistic analysis has demonstrated that LINC00152 can serve as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by sponging miRNA, regulating the abundance of the protein encoded by a particular gene, or modulating gene expression at the epigenetic level. LINC00152 can serve as a diagnostic or prognostic biomarker, as well as a therapeutic target for most cancer types. In the present review, we discuss the roles and mechanisms of LINC00152 in human cancer, focusing on its functions in chemotherapy and radiotherapy resistance.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer ranks as the fifth most common cause of cancer-related death in females. The molecular mechanisms of ovarian carcinogenesis need to be explored in order to identify effective clinical therapies for ovarian cancer. Recently, multi-omics approaches have been applied to determine the mechanisms of ovarian oncogenesis at genomics (DNA), transcriptomics (RNA), proteomics (proteins), and metabolomics (metabolites) levels. Multi-omics approaches can identify some diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for ovarian cancer, and these molecular signatures are beneficial for clarifying the development and progression of ovarian cancer. Moreover, the discovery of molecular signatures and targeted therapy strategies could noticeably improve the prognosis of ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to participate in regulating gene expression and are related to tumor progression. FGD5 antisense RNA 1 (FGD5-AS1) facilitates the progression of various tumors. However, the expression and function of FGD5-AS1 in ovarian cancer (OC) and its mechanism of action are not yet clear. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was employed to explore the expression levels of FGD5-AS1 and miR-142-5p in OC. The relationship between the expression of FGD5-AS1 and clinicopathological indicators of OC patients was analyzed by χ2 test. CCK-8 assay, BrdU assay, and Transwell assay were carried out to detect cell proliferation, migration, as well as invasion, respectively. Subcutaneous tumorigenesis experiment and lung metastasis model were used to examine the biological effects of FGD5-AS1 in OC in vivo. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay or RIP experiment was employed to explore the targeting relationship between FGD5-AS1 and miR-142-5p, as well as miR-142-5p and PD-L1 3'UTR. First, we found that FGD5-AS1 was markedly up-regulated in OC. Moreover, its high expression level was associated with positive local lymph node metastasis and higher T stage in OC patients. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays demonstrated that FGD5-AS1 facilitated the proliferation, migration, as well as invasion of OC cells. Mechanistically, it was revealed that FGD5-AS1 targeted miR-142-5p to repress its expression and function. Furthermore, miR-142-5p has a binding site for 3' UTR of PD-L1, and FGD5-AS1 could positively regulate PD-L1 expression via repressing miR-142-5p. The present study reports that FGD5-AS1/miR-142-5p/PD-L1 axis is involved in regulating OC progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer represents one of the most frequent gynecological cancers and is significant cause of death for women around the world. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are recognized as critical governors of gene expression during carcinogenesis, but their effects on the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer require further investigation. In this report, we characterized LINC00494 as a novel oncogenic lncRNA in ovarian cancer. METHODS Bioinformatics analysis predicted potential interactions among LINC00494, NFκB1, and FBXO32 in ovarian cancer, which were tested by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down, RIP, and ChIP assay. Cancer cells were transfected with relevant treated plasmids, followed by scratch and Transwell assays. The treated cells were injected into nude mice to establish a xenograft model for testing effects of LINC00494 and its target gene in vivo. RESULTS LINC00494 and NFκB1 were highly expressed whereas FBXO32 had low expression in ovarian cancer cells and tissues. LINC00494 was found to bind NFκB1 and increase its activity, while NFκB1 was enriched at the FBXO32 promoter region, where it acted to reduce FBXO32 transcription. Overexpression of LINC00494 elevated NFκB1 expression and enhanced cell migration, invasion and tumorigenesis, but additional overexpression of FBXO32 interfered with the tumorgenicity of ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSION Our work demonstrated that LINC00494 promoted ovarian cancer progression by modulating FBXO32 via binding with the transcription factor NFκB1. These results provided new insight into the mechanism of ovarian cancer pathogenesis and suggested new therapeutic targets.

[PMID: 32606778 PMCID: PMC7305856 DOI: 10.2147/ott.s254662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2020] [Accepted: 05/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1224 (LINC01224) plays vital roles in the tumorigenesis and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. Here, we determined LINC01224 expression in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) tissues and cells. We also assessed the effects of LINC01224 knockdown on the malignant phenotype of EOC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the oncogenic actions of LINC01224 in EOC cells were elucidated. Methods Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect LINC01224 expression in EOC tissues and cells. EOC cells were transfected with small interfering RNAs, and cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, cell migration assays, and cell invasion assays, respectively. Using tumor xenografts, the effects of LINC01224 silencing on EOC tumor growth were analyzed in vivo. The mechanism underlying LINC01224 regulation of malignant processes in EOC cells was explored using bioinformatics, RNA immunoprecipitation assay, qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and rescue experiments. Results LINC01224 expression was upregulated in EOC tissues and cells. LINC01224 upregulation was correlated to tumor size, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, and lymph node metastasis. LINC01224 depletion in EOC cells suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and facilitated cell apoptosis in vitro. LINC01224 downregulation also hindered EOC tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, LINC01224 served as a competing endogenous RNA for microRNA-485-5p (miR-485-5p) and consequently increased p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) expression in EOC cells. Furthermore, miR-485-5p inhibition or PAK4 upregulation significantly abrogated the effects of LINC01224 depletion in EOC cells. Conclusion LINC01224/miR-485-5p/PAK4 formed a competing endogenous RNA network regulating the aggressive behavior of EOC. Therefore, targeting this pathway may be an attractive therapeutic strategy for EOC.
