Exosomal LINC00460/miR-503-5p/ANLN positive feedback loop aggravates pancreatic cancer progression through regulating T cell-mediated cytotoxicity and PD-1 checkpoint. Cancer Cell Int 2022; 22:390. [PMID: 36482354 PMCID: PMC9733079 DOI: 10.1186/s12935-022-02741-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC00460 is an onco-lncRNA in a variety of cancers, including pancreatic cancer (PC). This study is aimed to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of LINC00460 in PC. METHODS The tumor and adjacent normal tissues were collected from 73 PC patients. The expression of LINC00460, miR-503-5p, and ANLN was detected using qRT-PCR. We then analyzed the proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis/cell cycle of PC cells by performing the MTT/EdU, transwell, and flow cytometry assays, respectively. The xenograft tumor model were utilized to confirm the effect of LINC00460 knockdown on PC through anti-PD-1 therapy in vivo, and the sensitivity of PANC-1 cells to the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells in vitro. Western blotting was used to determine the protein levels. A co-culture model was utilized to explore the effects of exosomes on macrophages. RESULTS LINC00460 was up-regulated in PC tissues and cells. LINC00460 knockdown suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, facilitated cell apoptosis and G0/G1 phase arrest, and inhibited the tumor growth through anti-PD-1 therapy. Both miR-503-5p down-regulation and ANLN up-regulation reversed the effects of LINC00460 knockdown on inhibiting the proliferation, migration and invasion, and on promoting the apoptosis, G0/G1 phase arrest, and the sensitivity of PC cells to the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells. Exosomes were uptaken by the ambient PC cells. PANC-1 cells-derived exosomal LINC00460-induced M2 macrophage polarization accelerates the cell migration and invasion. CONCLUSIONS LINC00460 silencing attenuates the development of PC by regulating the miR-503-5p/ANLN axis and exosomal LINC00460-induced M2 macrophage polarization accelerates the migration and invasion of PANC-1 cells, thus LINC00460 may act as a possible therapeutic target for treating PC.

LincRNAs and snoRNAs in Breast Cancer Cell Metastasis: The Unknown Players. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14184528. [PMID: 36139687 PMCID: PMC9496948 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14184528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 09/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent advances in research have led to earlier diagnosis and targeted therapies against breast cancer, which has resulted in reduced breast cancer-related mortality. However, the majority of breast cancer-related deaths are due to metastasis of cancer cells to other organs, a process that has not been fully elucidated. Among the factors and genes implicated in the metastatic process regulation, non-coding RNAs have emerged as crucial players. This review focuses on the role of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) and small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in breast cancer cell metastasis. LincRNAs are transcribed between two protein-coding genes and are longer than 200 nucleotides, they do not code for a specific protein but function as regulatory molecules in processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, migration, and invasion while most of them are highly elevated in breast cancer tissues and seem to function as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) inhibiting relevant miRNAs that specifically target vital metastasis-related genes. Similarly, snoRNAs are 60-300 nucleotides long and are found in the nucleolus being responsible for the post-transcriptional modification of ribosomal and spliceosomal RNAs. Most snoRNAs are hosted inside intron sequences of protein-coding and non-protein-coding genes, and they also regulate metastasis-related genes affecting related cellular properties.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules involved in gene regulation at transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic levels. LncRNAs participate in regulating apoptosis and autophagy in pancreatic cancer (PCa) and can promote and/or decrease the proliferation rate of tumor cells. The metastasis of PCa cells is tightly regulated by lncRNAs and they can affect the mechanism of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to modulate metastasis. The drug resistance of PCa cells, especially to gemcitabine, can be affected by lncRNAs. In addition, lncRNAs enriched in exosomes can be transferred among tumor cells to regulate their proliferation and metastasis. Antitumor compounds, such as curcumin and ginsenosides, can regulate lncRNA expression in PCa therapy. As we discuss here, the expression level of lncRNAs can be considered as both a diagnostic and prognostic tool in patients with PCa.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent an important group of endogenous RNAs with limit protein-encoding capability, with a length of more than 200 nucleotides. Emerging evidence have demonstrated that lncRNAs are greatly involved in multiple cancers by playing critical roles in tumor initiation and progression. Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 460 (LINC00460), a novel cancer-related lncRNA, exhibits abnormal expression and oncogenic function in multiple cancers, and positively correlates with poor clinical characteristics of cancer patients. LINC00460 has also been shown to be a promising biomarker for diagnosis as well as prognostic evaluation in cancer patients. In this review, we briefly summarized recent knowledge on the expression, functional roles, molecular mechanisms, and diagnostic and prognostic values of LINC00460 in human malignancies.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis is usually detected at the advanced stage of the disease. The only US Food and Drug Administration-approved biomarker that is available for PDAC, CA 19-9, is most useful in monitoring treatment response among PDAC patients rather than for early detection. Moreover, when CA 19-9 is solely used for diagnostic purposes, it has only a recorded sensitivity of 79% and specificity of 82% in symptomatic individuals. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify reliable biomarkers for diagnosis (specifically for the early diagnosis), ascertain prognosis as well as to monitor treatment response and tumour recurrence of PDAC. In recent years, proteomic technologies are growing exponentially at an accelerated rate for a wide range of applications in cancer research. In this review, we discussed the current status of biomarker research for PDAC using various proteomic technologies. This review will explore the potential perspective for understanding and identifying the unique alterations in protein expressions that could prove beneficial in discovering new robust biomarkers to detect PDAC at an early stage, ascertain prognosis of patients with the disease in addition to monitoring treatment response and tumour recurrence of patients.

Abstract
Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) establish a group of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that have no overlap with protein-coding genes. These transcripts have been found to affect chromatin configurations, arrange high-order nuclear structures, function as scaffolds for proteins and RNAs and serve as molecular decoys. LINC00460 is a member of this group of lincRNAs that participate in the pathoetiology of cancers. This lincRNA has been found to serve as a sponge for a number of tumor suppressor miRNAs, including miR-539, miR-1224-5p, miR-612, miR-342-3p, miR-485-5p and miR-149-5p, and increase expression of oncogenic targets of these miRNAs. Moreover, through targeting miRNAs that regulate sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents, it can affect response of cancer cells to these agents. In the current manuscript, we tended to describe the role of LINC00460 in this process through summarizing the results of in vitro, in vivo and human studies.

Abstract
The long intergic non-protein coding RNA 460 (LINC00460) is abnormally highly expressed in gastrointestinal tumors and plays an important role in promoting tumor formation and development. LINC00460 is mainly distributed in cytoplasm and has many abnormal gene variants of single nucleotide polymorphism in tumors. LINC00460 can promote the proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis, radiotherapy and chemotherapy resistance, inhibit the apoptosis of tumor cells, and further promote the malignant progression of tumors via involving in chromatin state maintenance, methylation modification, endogenous competition and transcriptional regulation. It may serve as a valuable tumor marker and therapeutic target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of studies have suggested that LINC00460 is instrumental in tumorigenesis and tumour progression. Nonetheless, the biological function and mechanisms of LINC00460 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remain vague. METHODS Analysis based on public databases and a quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction were performed to screen for differentially expressed lncRNAs in PDAC and to detect LINC00460 expression in PDAC cell lines and clinical samples. The survival of patients in the up-regulated and down-regulated LINC00460 expression groups was compared by using the Kaplan-Meier method. In addition, the potential biological functions of LINC00460 in PDAC were explored by cell counting kit-8, colony formation, flow cytometry and transwell assays. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis, luciferase reporter assays and rescue experiments were applied to demonstrate the mechanism by which LINC00460 could directly bind to and inhibit miR-491-5p. RESULTS LINC00460 is up-regulated in PDAC and correlates with adverse survival outcomes. The results of functional tests verified that LINC00460 knockdown inhibited both cell proliferation and cell migration. Additionally, knockdown led to G0/G1 cell cycle blockage and enhanced cell apoptosis. Mechanistic investigations revealed that LINC00460 directly binds to and attenuates the tumour suppressor miR-491-5p, thus accelerating PDAC progression. CONCLUSIONS This research showed that LINC00460 is overexpressed in PDAC and correlates with adverse clinical outcomes. Additionally, LINC00460 promotes the aggressiveness of PDAC by targeting miR-491-5p. Thus, LINC00460 may serve as diagnostic biomarker of PDAC and a new target for PDAC therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BRCA) is a serious public health problem, as it is the most frequent malignant tumor in women worldwide. BRCA is a molecularly heterogeneous disease, particularly at gene expression (mRNAs) level. Recent evidence shows that coding RNAs represent only 34% of the total transcriptome in a human cell. The rest of the 66% of RNAs are non−coding, so we might be missing relevant biological, clinical or regulatory information. In this report, we identified two novel tumor types from TCGA with LINC00460 deregulation. We used survival analysis to demonstrate that LINC00460 expression is a marker for poor overall (OS), relapse-free (RFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) in basal-like BRCA patients. LINC00460 expression is a potential marker for aggressive phenotypes in distinct tumors, including HPV-negative HNSC, stage IV KIRC, locally advanced lung cancer and basal-like BRCA. We show that the LINC00460 prognostic expression effect is tissue-specific, since its upregulation can predict poor OS in some tumors, but also predicts an improved clinical course in BRCA patients. We found that the LINC00460 expression is significantly enriched in the Basal-like 2 (BL2) TNBC subtype and potentially regulates the WNT differentiation pathway. LINC00460 can also modulate a plethora of immunogenic related genes in BRCA, such as SFRP5, FOSL1, IFNK, CSF2, DUSP7 and IL1A and interacts with miR-103-a-1, in-silico, which, in turn, can no longer target WNT7A. Finally, LINC00460:WNT7A ratio constitutes a composite marker for decreased OS and DMFS in Basal-like BRCA, and can predict anthracycline therapy response in ER-BRCA patients. This evidence confirms that LINC00460 is a master regulator in BRCA molecular circuits and influences clinical outcome.

Abstract
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) ranks among the most lethal cancers worldwide with high mortality. A marked increase in the level of long non-coding RNA LINC00460 was reported in PAAD patients, in comparison with the healthy controls. However, the underlying mechanisms of the above phenomenon are not yet well understood. Hence, the present study was designed to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the role of LINC00460 in proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer (PC) cells. It was found in our study that LINC00460 knockdown inhibited SW1990 cell proliferation, migration and invasion and promoted its apoptosis. Moreover, miR-320b was targeted straight and its expression was downregulated by LINC00460, whose knockdown led to a reduction in ARF1 expression. Interestingly, miR-320b downregulation partly reversed the effect of LINC00460 knockdown on the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of SW1990 cells, as well as ARF1expression. In conclusion, LINC00460 knockdown inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion, and promotes the apoptosis of SW1990 cells via modulation of the miR-320b/ARF1 axis. Thus, LINC00460 can be perceived as a promising target in the treatment of PAAD.
