Feng K, Di Y, Han M, Yan W, Wang Y. SORBS1 inhibits epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of breast cancer cells by regulating PI3K/AKT signaling and macrophage phenotypic polarization. Aging (Albany NY) 2024; 16:4789-4810. [PMID: 38451194 PMCID: PMC10968685 DOI: 10.18632/aging.205632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the regulatory role of SORBS1 in macrophage polarization and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, as well as analyze its mechanism in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of breast cancer cells. We established SORBS1-overexpressing and knockout cell lines and verified the effects of SORBS1 on cell viability, invasion, and migration by phenotyping experiments and assaying the expression of associated proteins. Furthermore, we established a breast cancer cell and macrophage co-culture system to validate the effect of SORBS1 expression on macrophage polarization and killing of breast cancer cells. Bioinformatics analysis showed that SORBS1 was lowly expressed in breast cancer (BRCA) samples and highly expressed in healthy tissues. Decreased SORBS1 expression was associated with poor prognosis, and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was the most significantly enriched pathway. In vitro experiments showed that high expression of SORBS1 inhibited the migration of breast cancer cells, as well as the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, and blocked EMT of these cells. In addition, SORBS1 induced macrophage polarization to the M1-type and enhanced the killing effect on breast cancer cells in the co-culture system. In conclusion, we successfully verified that SORBS1 inhibits the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells, induces macrophage M1-type polarization, and blocks EMT of breast cancer cells, and it may act by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

METTL3-Mediated m6A Modification Regulates the Osteogenic Differentiation through LncRNA CUTALP in Periodontal Mesenchymal Stem Cells of Periodontitis Patients. Stem Cells Int 2024; 2024:3361794. [PMID: 38283119 PMCID: PMC10817817 DOI: 10.1155/2024/3361794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes loss of periodontal support tissue. Our objective was to investigate the mechanism by which METTL3-mediated N6-methyladenosine modification regulates the osteogenic differentiation through lncRNA in periodontal mesenchymal stem cells in patients with periodontitis (pPDLSCs). Material and Methods. We carried out a series of experiments, including methylated RNA immunoprecipitation-PCR, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and western blotting. The expressions of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Runx2, Col1, Runx2 protein level, ALP staining, and Alizarin red staining were used to demonstrate the degree of osteogenic differentiation. Results We found that METTL3 was the most significantly differentially expressed methylation-related enzyme in pPDLSCs and promoted osteogenic differentiation of pPDLSCs. METTL3 regulated the stability and expression of lncRNA CUTALP, while lncRNA CUTALP promoted osteogenic differentiation of pPDLSCs by inhibiting miR-30b-3p. At different time points of osteogenic differentiation, lncRNA CUTALP expression was positively correlated with Runx2, while miR-30b-3p showed the opposite pattern. The attenuated osteogenic differentiation induced by METTL3 knockdown was recovered by lncRNA CUTALP overexpression. The attenuated osteogenic differentiation induced by lncRNA CUTALP knockdown could be reversed by the miR-30b-3p inhibitor. Conclusions In summary, METTL3/lncRNA CUTALP/miR-30b-3p/Runx2 is a regulatory network in the osteogenic differentiation of pPDLSCs.

Research progress on the role of lncRNA-miRNA networks in regulating adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by a decrease in osteoblasts and an increase in adipocytes in the bone marrow compartment, alongside abnormal bone/fat differentiation, which ultimately results in imbalanced bone homeostasis. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes to maintain bone homeostasis. Several studies have shown that lncRNAs are competitive endogenous RNAs that form a lncRNA-miRNA network by targeting miRNA for the regulation of bone/fat differentiation in BMSCs; this mechanism is closely related to the corresponding treatment of OP and is important in the development of novel OP-targeted therapies. However, by reviewing the current literature, it became clear that there are limited summaries discussing the effects of the lncRNA-miRNA network on osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation in BMSCs. Therefore, this article provides a review of the current literature to explore the impact of the lncRNA-miRNA network on the osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs, with the aim of providing a new theoretical basis for the treatment of OP.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma is a highly aggressive cancer arising from the bile ducts. The limited effectiveness of conventional therapies has prompted the search for new approaches to target this disease. Recent evidence suggests that distinct programmed cell death mechanisms, namely, apoptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis and necroptosis, play a critical role in the development and progression of cholangiocarcinoma. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on the role of programmed cell death in cholangiocarcinoma and its potential implications for the development of novel therapies. Several studies have shown that the dysregulation of apoptotic signaling pathways contributes to cholangiocarcinoma tumorigenesis and resistance to treatment. Similarly, ferroptosis, pyroptosis and necroptosis, which are pro-inflammatory forms of cell death, have been implicated in promoting immune cell recruitment and activation, thus enhancing the antitumor immune response. Moreover, recent studies have suggested that targeting cell death pathways could sensitize cholangiocarcinoma cells to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In conclusion, programmed cell death represents a relevant molecular mechanism of pathogenesis in cholangiocarcinoma, and further research is needed to fully elucidate the underlying details and possibly identify therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a clinical disease characterized by decreased bone density due to a disrupted balance between bone formation and resorption, which increases fracture risk and negatively affects the quality of life of a patient. LncRNAs are RNA molecules over 200 nucleotides in length with non-coding potential. Many studies have demonstrated that numerous biological processes involved in bone metabolism are affected. However, the complex mechanisms of action of lncRNAs and their clinical applications in osteoporosis have not yet been fully elucidated. LncRNAs, as epigenetic regulators, are widely involved in the regulation of gene expression during osteogenic and osteoclast differentiation. LncRNAs affect bone homeostasis and osteoporosis development through different signaling pathways and regulatory networks. Additionally, researchers have found that lncRNAs have great potential for clinical application in the treatment of osteoporosis. In this review, we summarize the research results on lncRNAs for clinical prevention, rehabilitation treatment, drug development, and targeted therapy for osteoporosis. Moreover, we summarize the regulatory modes of various signaling pathways through which lncRNAs affect the development of osteoporosis. Overall, these studies suggest that lncRNAs can be used as novel targeted molecular drugs for the clinical treatment of osteoporosis to improve symptoms.

Abstract
Bone has a robust regenerative potential, but its capacity to repair critical-sized bone defects is limited. In recent years, stem cells have attracted significant interest for their potential in tissue engineering. Applying mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for enhancing bone regeneration is a promising therapeutic strategy. However, maintaining optimal cell efficacy or viability of MSCs is limited by several factors. Epigenetic modification can cause changes in gene expression levels without changing its sequence, mainly including nucleic acids methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNAs. This modification is believed to be one of the determinants of MSCs fate and differentiation. Understanding the epigenetic modification of MSCs can improve the activity and function of stem cells. This review summarizes recent advances in the epigenetic mechanisms of MSCs differentiation into osteoblast lineages. We expound that epigenetic modification of MSCs can be harnessed to treat bone defects and promote bone regeneration, providing potential therapeutic targets for bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement relies on bone remodeling and periodontal tissue regeneration in response to the complicated mechanical cues on the compressive and tensive side. In general, mechanical stimulus regulates the expression of mechano-sensitive coding and non-coding genes, which in turn affects how cells are involved in bone remodeling. Growing numbers of non-coding RNAs, particularly mechano-sensitive non-coding RNA, have been verified to be essential for the regulation of osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis and have revealed how they interact with signaling molecules to do so. This review summarizes recent findings of non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, as crucial regulators of gene expression responding to mechanical stimulation, and outlines their roles in bone deposition and resorption. We focused on multiple mechano-sensitive miRNAs such as miR-21, - 29, -34, -103, -494-3p, -1246, -138-5p, -503-5p, and -3198 that play a critical role in osteogenesis function and bone resorption. The emerging roles of force-dependent regulation of lncRNAs in bone remodeling are also discussed extensively. We summarized mechano-sensitive lncRNA XIST, H19, and MALAT1 along with other lncRNAs involved in osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. Ultimately, we look forward to the prospects of the novel application of non-coding RNAs as potential therapeutics for tooth movement and periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a novel class of noncoding RNAs that have emerged as critical regulators and biomarkers in various cancers. Nevertheless, the expression profile and mechanistic function of lncRNAs in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remain unclear. Herein, we examined the expression levels of linc00976 in clinical specimens and cell lines using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. In total, 50 patients with CCA were enrolled to analyze the correlation between linc00976 expression and clinical characteristics of CCA. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments were performed to investigate the biological effects of linc00976 on proliferation, ferroptosis, migration, and invasion of CCA cells in vitro and in vivo. In situ hybridization, RNA immunoprecipitation, bioinformatic databases, RNA pull-down assay, a dual-luciferase reporter assay, mRNA sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR, and rescue experiments were performed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of linc00976-induced competitive endogenous RNA regulatory networks. We characterized a novel and abundant lncRNA, linc00976, that functions as a pro-oncogenic regulator of CCA progression. Compared with normal controls, linc00976 was dramatically upregulated in CCA tissue samples and cell lines. Patients with CCA exhibiting high linc00976 expression had a highly advanced clinical stage, substantial lymph node metastasis, and poor overall survival. Knockdown of linc00976 significantly repressed proliferation and metastasis and promoted ferroptosis of CCA cells both in vitro and in vivo, whereas linc00976 overexpression exerted the opposite effect. Mechanistically, linc00976 competitively interacted with miR-3202 to upregulate GPX4 expression, thus contributing to the malignant biological behavior of CCA cells. Moreover, we demonstrated that JUND specifically interacts with the linc00976 promoter and activates linc00976 transcription. Accordingly, JUND promotes linc00976 transcription, and linc00976 plays a crucial role in accelerating CCA tumorigenesis and metastasis and inhibiting ferroptosis by modulating the miR-3202/GPX4 axis. These findings suggest that targeting linc00976 may afford a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with CCA.

IRANIAN JOURNAL OF BASIC MEDICAL SCIENCES 2022; 25:1364-1372. [PMID: 36474568 PMCID: PMC9699953 DOI: 10.22038/ijbms.2022.65528.14420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is an essential stage in bone formation. Autophagy plays a pivotal role in the self-renewal potential and pluripotency of stem cells. This study aimed to explore the function of autophagy-related genes during osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS The differentially expressed autophagy-related genes (ARGs) were obtained from the GEO and HADb databases. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed using R software. The PPI and hub gene mining networks were constructed using the STRING database and Cytoscape. Finally, the RT-qPCR was conducted to validate the expression level of ARGs in BMSCs. RESULTS Thirty-seven differentially expressed ARGs were finally obtained, including 12 upregulated and 25 downregulated genes. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that most of these genes were enriched in apoptosis and autophagy. The PPI network revealed strong interactions between differentially expressed ARGs. The expression level of differentially expressed ARGs tested by RT-qPCR showed 6 upregulated ARGs, including FOXO1, MAP1LC3C, CTSB, FOXO3, CALCOCO2, FKBP1A, and 4 downregulated ARGs, including MAPK8IP1, NRG1, VEGFA, and ITGA6 were consistent with the expression of high-throughput sequencing data. CONCLUSION We identified 37 ARGs during osteogenic differentiation using bioinformatics analysis. FOXO1, MAP1LC3C, CTSB, FOXO3, CALCOCO2, FKBP1A, MAPK8IP1, NRG1, VEGFA, and ITGA6 may regulate osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs by involving autophagy pathway. This study provides new insight into the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs and may be available in developing therapeutic strategies for maxillofacial bone defects.

Circular RNA CREBBP modulates cartilage degradation by activating the Smad1/5 pathway through the TGFβ2/ALK1 axis. Exp Mol Med 2022; 54:1727-1740.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis, characterized by articular cartilage degradation, is the leading cause of chronic disability in older adults. Studies have indicated that circular RNAs are crucial regulators of chondrocyte development and are involved in the progression of osteoarthritis. In this study, we investigated the function and mechanism of a circular RNA and its potential for osteoarthritis therapy. The expression levels of circCREBBP, screened by circular RNA sequencing during chondrogenic differentiation in adipose tissue-derived stem cells, and TGFβ2 were significantly increased in the cartilage of patients with osteoarthritis and IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. circCREBBP knockdown increased anabolism in the extracellular matrix and inhibited chondrocyte degeneration, whereas circCREBBP overexpression led to the opposite effects. Luciferase reporter assays, rescue experiments, RNA immunoprecipitation, and RNA pulldown assays confirmed that circCREBBP upregulated TGFβ2 expression by sponging miR-1208, resulting in significantly enhanced phosphorylation of Smad1/5 in chondrocytes. Moreover, intra-articular injection of adeno-associated virus-sh-circCrebbp alleviated osteoarthritis in a mouse model of destabilization of the medial meniscus. Our findings reveal a critical role for circCREBBP in the progression of osteoarthritis and provide a potential target for osteoarthritis therapy.

Long non-coding RNA SNHG16 promotes human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cell proliferation capacity through the PI3K/AKT pathway under hypoxia. World J Stem Cells 2022; 14:714-728. [PMID: 36188116 PMCID: PMC9516465 DOI: 10.4252/wjsc.v14.i9.714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of hypoxia on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is an emerging topic in MSC biology. Although long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are reported to play a critical role in regulating the biological characteristics of MSCs, their specific expression and co-expression profiles in human placenta-derived MSCs (hP-MSCs) under hypoxia and the underlying mechanisms of lncRNAs in hP-MSC biology are unknown.
AIM To reveal the specific expression profiles of lncRNAs in hP-MSCs under hypoxia and initially explored the possible mechanism of lncRNAs on hP-MSC biology.
METHODS Here, we used a multigas incubator (92.5% N2, 5% CO2, and 2.5% O2) to mimic the hypoxia condition and observed that hypoxic culture significantly promoted the proliferation potential of hP-MSCs. RNA sequencing technology was applied to identify the exact expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs under hypoxia.
RESULTS We identified 289 differentially expressed lncRNAs and 240 differentially expressed mRNAs between the hypoxia and normoxia groups. Among them, the lncRNA SNHG16 was upregulated under hypoxia, which was also validated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. SNHG16 was confirmed to affect hP-MSC proliferation rates using a SNHG16 knockdown model. SNHG16 overexpression could significantly enhance the proliferation capacity of hP-MSCs, activate the PI3K/AKT pathway, and upregulate the expression of cell cycle-related proteins.
CONCLUSION Our results revealed the specific expression characteristics of lncRNAs and mRNAs in hypoxia-cultured hP-MSCs and that lncRNA SNHG16 can promote hP-MSC proliferation through the PI3K/AKT pathway.

tRNA-Derived Fragment tRF-5009A Regulates Autophagy and Degeneration of Cartilage in Osteoarthritis via Targeting mTOR. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:5781660. [PMID: 36035226 PMCID: PMC9410839 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5781660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) have been reported to have critical regulatory roles in osteoarthritis (OA). Recent studies have suggested that autophagy promotes the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix of chondrocytes in OA. However, the role of tRFs in posttranscriptional gene regulation during autophagy in OA is unknown. Therefore, we explored the role of tRF-5009A in the posttranscriptional gene regulation of autophagy and cartilage degeneration in OA. Using RNA sequencing, we identified tRF-5009A, the tRNAValCAC-derived fragment, in OA tissues and explored its expression by quantitative reverse transcription PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization. We further investigated the relationship between the expression of tRF-5009A and clinical factors in OA. Chondrocytes were transfected with a tRF-5009A inhibitor or mimic to determine their functions, including in relation to autophagy and the cartilage phenotype. A rescue experiment and dual-luciferase reporter assay were conducted to determine whether the 3′-untranslated region (UTR) of mTOR contains a tRF-5009A-binding site. tRF-5009A was downregulated in the cartilage of OA knees, especially in damaged areas. mTOR was highly expressed in damaged cartilage and negatively correlated with the expression of tRF-5009A; transfection with a tRF-5009A inhibitor promoted the expression of mTOR and suppressed autophagy, whereas transfection with a tRF-5009A mimic had the opposite effect. A dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that tRF-5009A silenced the expression of mTOR by binding to its 3′-UTR. Thus, tRF-5009A regulates autophagy and cartilage degeneration in OA by targeting mTOR. In summary, these findings provide an additional tool for the clinical diagnosis and novel targeted therapy of OA.

NSD1 Mutations in Sotos Syndrome Induce Differential Expression of Long Noncoding RNAs, miR646 and Genes Controlling the G2/M Checkpoint. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12070988.

Abstract
An increasing amount of evidence indicates the critical role of the NSD1 gene in Sotos syndrome (SoS), a rare genetic disease, and in tumors. Molecular mechanisms affected by NSD1 mutations are largely uncharacterized. In order to assess the impact of NSD1 haploinsufficiency in the pathogenesis of SoS, we analyzed the gene expression profile of fibroblasts isolated from the skin samples of 15 SoS patients and of 5 healthy parents. We identified seven differentially expressed genes and five differentially expressed noncoding RNAs. The most upregulated mRNA was stratifin (SFN) (fold change, 3.9, Benjamini−Hochberg corrected p < 0.05), and the most downregulated mRNA was goosecoid homeobox (GSC) (fold change, 3.9, Benjamini−Hochberg corrected p < 0.05). The most upregulated lncRNA was lnc-C2orf84-1 (fold change, 4.28, Benjamini−Hochberg corrected p < 0.001), and the most downregulated lncRNA was Inc-C15orf57 (fold change, −0.7, Benjamini−Hochberg corrected p < 0.05). A gene set enrichment analysis reported the enrichment of genes involved in the KRAS and E2F signaling pathways, splicing regulation and cell cycle G2/M checkpoints. Our results suggest that NSD1 is involved in cell cycle regulation and that its mutation can induce the down-expression of genes involved in tumoral and neoplastic differentiation. The results contribute to defining the role of NSD1 in fibroblasts for the prevention, diagnosis and control of SoS.

Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a highly malignant tumor. In this study, we examined the role of miR-3646 and its underlying mechanism in the progression of LUAD. The expression of miR-3646 and sorbin and SH3 domain-containing protein 1 (SORBS1) in LUAD tissues and cells was evaluated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. LUAD cell adhesion, proliferation, apoptosis was determined. The targeting relationship between SORBS1 and miR-3646 was verified by dual luciferase and RNA pull-down assays. In vivo assays were performed to verify the in vitro results. The expression of miR-3646 was found to be upregulated in LUAD tissues and cells. MiR-3646 overexpression stimulated the proliferation and adhesion of LUAD cells but inhibite
d apoptosis, whereas a miR-3646 inhibitor produced the opposite results. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of miR-3646 inhibitor was verified in vivo. SORBS1, a target gene identified downstream of miR-3646, was downregulated in LUAD tissues and cells. Additionally, increased SORBS1 inhibited the malignant phenotypes of LUAD cells, which was restored by miR-3646 upregulation. Additionally, western blot analysis revealed that SORBS1 ectopic expression disrupted the JNK signaling pathway, and this effect was restored by miR-3646 overexpression. Thus, this study revealed that miR-3646 promotes LUAD cell proliferation and adhesion, and reduces apoptosis by directly downregulating SORBS1 via the JNK signaling pathway. Investigation of the molecular mechanism of LUAD carcinogenesis revealed that miR-3646 may serve as a biomarker for LUAD treatment.in vivo

Abstract
Tissue engineered bone brings hope to the treatment of bone defects, and the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells is the key link. Inducing osteogenic differentiation of stem cells may be a potential approach to promote bone regeneration. In recent years, lncRNA has been studied in the field increasingly, which is believed can regulate cell cycle, proliferation, metastasis, differentiation and immunity, participating in a variety of physiology and pathology processes. At present, it has been confirmed that certain lncRNAs regulate the osteogenesis of stem cells and take part in mediating signaling pathways including Wnt/β-catenin, MAPK, TGF-β/BMP, and Notch pathways. Here, we provided an overview of lncRNA, reviewed its researches in the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, emphasized the importance of lncRNA in bone regeneration, and focused on the roles of lncRNA in signaling pathways, in order to make adequate preparations for applying lncRNA to bone tissue Engineering, letting it regulate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells for bone regeneration.
