Abstract
BACKGROUND To our knowledge, LncRNA SNHG15 exerted its tumor-promoting effects to facilitate the development of breast cancer (BC), but there still needed more data to elucidate the potential underlying mechanisms. METHODS We examined genes expression status by performing Real-Time qPCR and Western Blot analysis, and cellular functions, including cell proliferation, viability, apoptosis, mobility, were measured by using the CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, trypan blue staining assay, flow cytometer (FCM), transwell assay and wound scratch assay, respectively. The predicted targeting sites in LncRNA SNHG15, miR-451 and c-Myc 3'UTR were validated by dual-luciferase reporter gene system assay. Finally, we established the tumor-bearing mice models, and the expression status, including its enrichment and cellular localization were examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay. RESULTS Our data indicated LncRNA SNHG15 upregulated c-Myc to facilitate BC progression by sponging miR-451 in a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA)-dependent manner in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, LncRNA SNHG15 and c-Myc were upregulated, while miR-451 was downregulated in BC cells and clinical tissues, compared to their normal counterparts. In addition, miR-451 negatively correlated with LncRNA SNHG15 and c-Myc, and LncRNA SNHG15 was positively relevant to c-Myc in BC tissues. Next, we validated that LncRNA SNHG15 sponged miR-451 to upregulate c-Myc in BC cells. Further gain- and loss-of-function experiments evidenced that LncRNA SNHG15 promoted, while miR-451 inhibited malignant phenotypes, including cell proliferation, viability, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in BC cells. Interestingly, the inhibiting effects of LncRNA SNHG15 ablation on BC progression were abrogated by both silencing miR-451 and overexpressing c-Myc. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that targeting the LncRNA SNHG15/miR-451/c-Myc signaling cascade was novel to hamper BC progression, which broadened our knowledge in this field, and provided potential biomarkers for BC diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of miR-451 on the proliferation and migration of human colorectal cancer cell SW480 by targeting macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Methods: Microarray analysis was used to screen differentially expressed microRNAs and messenger RNA in SW480 cells. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expressions of miR-451 and MIF in SW480 cells before and after transfection. Cell clone formation assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the proliferation and invasion of SW480 cells, respectively. Cell scratch assay was used to detect the migration ability of SW480 cells. The TargetScan database was used to analyze the correlation between miR-451 and MIF. Dual luciferase reporter gene was used to detect the interaction of miR-451 and MIF. MTT assay was used to detect the viability of SW480 cells. Results: Compared with human normal colorectal mucosal cell FHC (1.00), the expression of miR-451 was down-regulated in SW480 cells ( 0.36±0.18, P<0.001). Knockdown of miR-451 promoted proliferation, and migration of SW480 cells. Compared with that in FHC cells, MIF expression was up-regulated in SW480 cells (2.28±0.45, P<0.001). MIF down-regulation inhibited SW480 cell proliferation, invasion and migration. MiR-451 specifically bind to the MIF 3'UTR and regulated the expression of MIF. Overexpression of miR-451 reduced while overexpression of MIF increased the viability of SW480 cells. Overexpression of MIF promoted the proliferation and migration of SW480 cells (P<0.01), reversed the effect of miR-451 suppressed proliferation and migration of SW480 cells. Conclusion: MiR-451 may regulate proliferation and migration of human colorectal cancer cells by targeting MIF.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignant tumor, which severely threatens human's life, moreover, the multi-drug resistance (MDR) under RCC undoubtedly strengthen the difficulties in the treatment. MiR-451 has been considered to play an important role in regulation of MDR in several cancers, but the role of it in MDR of RCC has not been explored. This study aims to explore the mechanism of miR-451 as a target to regulate chemotherapy resistance, which is crucial for further exploring novel therapy for RCC. Two human cell lines (ACHN and GRC-1) were performed in this study and adriamycin (ADM) was used to construct MDR cell lines. qRT-PCR was used to determine the mRNA expression of miR-451 and ATF-2. Weston blot was used to determine protein expression. MTT assay and flow cytometry were used for assessing cell viability and apoptosis, individually. Luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the targeting of miR-451 and ATF-2. Results presented that the expression of miR-451 was higher in low MDR cell line (ACHN) comparing with the high MDR cell line (GRC-1), while the expression of ATF-2 revealed an opposite results. MiR-451 targeted ATF-2 and regulated its expression. Overexpression of miR-451 strengthened drug resistance, decreased cell viability, and increased cell apoptosis of GRC-1 pretreated by ADM, while overexpressed ATF-2 reversed the effect induced by miR-451 overexpression. Then miR-451 knockdown improved drug susceptibility, decreased cell apoptosis, and increased cell viability of ACHN induced by ADM, however, ATF-2 suppression reversed the low rate of cell apoptosis and high rate of cell viability induced by miR-451 knockdown. Our results revealed that miR-451 regulates the drug resistance of RCC by targeting ATF-2 gene, which might be critical for overcoming MDR in RCC patients. Impact statement This is the first study to emphasize the expression of miR-451 on regulating multi-drug resistance (MDR) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Our study found that miR-451 regulates the drug resistance of RCC by targeting ATF-2, which might be critical for overcoming MDR in RCC patients. This study not only provides solid theory foundation for the clinical therapy, but also offers unique insights for the further RCC research. Furthermore, the study helps us to understand the mechanism of MDR, which was crucial for identifying the chemoresistance on several related tumors.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is the second most common malignancy in China. However, the prognosis for gastric cancer patients remains poor. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether miR-451 was a potential prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer. Fresh tissues were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen until use. The plasma was extracted and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect miR-451 expression. The Student's t test analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed to analyze expression of miR-451. The analysis results showed that the expression level of miR-451 was decreased expression in gastric cancer tissue. The down-regulation of miR-451 tended to be positively correlated with tumor stage, lymphatic metastasis and shorter overall survival of patients. MiR-451 may be a potential biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for the diagnoses and prognosis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that MiR-451 plays an important role in human osteosarcoma carcinogenesis, but the underlying mechanism by which MiR-451 affects the osteosarcoma has not been fully understood. This study intends to uncover the mechanism by which MiR-451 functions as a tumor suppressor. The expression of MiR-451 in osteosarcoma tissues and osteosarcoma cell lines was monitored by real-time PCR. The proliferation ability was examined by MTT and cell cycle assay. The migration and apoptosis of cells were monitored by migration assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Moreover, the angiogenesis of HUVEC cells transfected with MiR-451 mimics was examined by tube formation assay. The effect of MiR-451 on MIF was determined by luciferase assays and Western blot assay. The results showed that MiR-451 expression level was significantly reduced in the osteosarcoma compared with normal bone tissues. Overexpression of MiR-451 significantly attenuated the proliferation and migration, and induced the apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells. Furthermore, the angiogenesis of HUVEC cells transfected with MiR-451 mimics was assayed and the decreased angiogenic ability was detected compared to the controls. Finally, we demonstrated that MiR-451 overexpression inhibited the malignant behavior of osteosarcoma by downregulating MIF. These findings suggest that MiR-451 may act as a tumor suppressor in osteosarcoma. MiR-451 inhibited cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis and promoted apoptosis of human osteosarcoma cells, at least partially, by inhibiting the expression of MIF. MiR-451/MIF may be a novel therapeutic target in treatment of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
As one of the most widely used chemotherapy drugs for lung cancer, chemoresistance of cisplatin (DPP) is one of the major hindrances in treatment of this malignancy. The microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified to mediate chemotherapy drug resistance. MiR-451 as a tumor suppressor has been evaluated its potential effect on the sensitivity of cancer cells to DDP. However, the role of miR-451 in regulatory mechanism of chemosensitivity in lung cancer cells is still largely unknown. In this study, we first constructed a cisplatin-resistant A549 cell line (A549/DPP) accompanied with a decreased expression of miR-451 and an increased expression of Mcl-1in the drug resistant cells compared with the parental cells. Exogenous expression of miR-451 level in A549/DPP was found to sensitize their reaction to the treatment of cisplatin, which coincides with reduced expression of Mcl-1. Interestingly, Mcl-1 knockdown in A549/DPP cells increased the chemosensitivity to DPP, suggesting the dependence of Mcl-1 regulation in miR-451 activity. Moreover, miR-451 can restore cisplatin treatment response in cisplatin-resistant xenografts in vivo, while Mcl-1 protein levels were decreased. Thus, these findings provided that in lung cancer cells, tumor suppressor miR-451 enhanced DPP sensitivity via regulation of Mcl-1 expression, which could be served as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of chemotherapy resistant in lung cancer.

Abstract
Activation of nuclear factor -kappa B (NF-κB) is associated with inflammation in the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). MiR-451 is closely linked to renal damage in DN. Large multifunctional protease 7 (LMP7), an immunoproteasome subunit, can activate NF-κB. However, it remained unclear whether miR-451 affected NF-κB-induced inflammation by regulating LMP7 in DN. In this study, deep sequencing, in situ hybridization, quantitative real-time PCR, dual-luciferase reporter gene assays, western blot and chromatin immunoprecipitation were respectively used. For the results, we found that miR-451 was markedly downregulated in the kidneys of db/db mice, PBMCs of DN patients and mesangial cells (MCs) cultured in high glucose conditions. Furthermore, miR-451 directly targeted LMP7 expression to inhibit NF-κB activity, and down-regulated transcription of proinflammatory molecules in MCs. More importantly, in the kidneys of db/db DN mice, increasing miR-451 level inhibited LMP7/NF-κB activity, and attenuated the urinary microalbumin excretion, blood glucose, and glomerular injury. In conclusion, these results provide new insights into the regulation of miR-451 via the LMP7/NF-κB central inflammatory pathway during progression of DN.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the expression pattern of miR-16 and miR-451 and evaluate their prognostic value in 180 GC patients undergoing surgery. METHODS In our previous study, a panel of five circulating miRNAs (miR-16, miR-25, miR-92a, miR-451 and miR-486-5p) can be used as a potential biomarker for detecting of early-stage gastric carcinoma (GC). Tissue microarrays were constructed from 180 patients with GC after surgery. MiR-16 and miR-451 expression was detected by miRNA-locked nucleic acid in situ hybridization, and their relationship with clinicopathological parameters and overall survival was analyzed. RESULTS MiR-16 expression was decreased in 30.6 % (55/180) of GC, increased in 54.4 % (98/180) and unchanged in 15.0 % (27/180), compared with paracancerous normal tissue (P < 0.001). MiR-451 expression was decreased in 17.8 % (32/180), increased in 62.8 % (113/180) and unchanged in 19.4 % (35/180) of GC, compared with paracancerous normal tissue (P < 0.001).Univariate analysis indicated that low miR-16 and miR-451 expression, tumor stage, tumor status, node status and tumor size were significant negative prognostic predictors for overall survival in patients with GC (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P = 0.002, P < 0.001 and P = 0.001, respectively). Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that stage [hazard ratio (HR) 1.80; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.0-3.26; P = 0.05], low expression of miR-16 (HR 2.26; 95 % CI 1.51-3.40; P < 0.001) and miR-451 (HR 2.01; 95 % CI 1.36-2.96; P < 0.001) predicted shorter OS, while tumor status (HR 1.59; 95 % CI 0.73-3.48 P = 0.242), lymph node metastasis (HR 1.41; 95 % CI 0.71-2.82; P = 0.326) and tumor size (HR 1.53; 95 % CI 0.92-2.55; P = 0.099) were not. Moreover, patients with both miR-16 and miR-451 high expression have better OS than those with two miRNAs unchanged or low expression in GC tissues. Patients with both miR-16 and miR-451 high have better OS than patients with single miR-451 high expression. CONCLUSIONS High expression of miR-16 and miR-451 was associated with longer OS in GC patients. Especially patients with miR-16 and miR-451 double high expression will predict better OS. MiR-16 and miR-451 may be used as novel makers to evaluate prognosis and provide a new treatment target in GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The expression of microRNA-451 (miR-451) and its association with clinical pathological factors in GC remain still unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate if miR-451 is a potential prognostic biomarker and tumor suppressor for gastric cancer. METHODS Real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was applied to detect miR-451 expression in GC cell lines and primary tumor and paired non-cancerous tissues. The association of miR-451 expression with clinicopathological factors and prognosis was statistically analyzed. RESULTS We found that miR-451 showed decreased expression in GC tissues and cell lines, and its down-regulation tended to be positively correlated with lymphatic metastasis, clinical staging and shorter overall survival of patients. In addition, forced expression of miR-451 in BGC-823 and MKN-45 cells did not impact on cell proliferation, but did reduce migration and invasion rates in BGC-823 cells. CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that miR-451 may act as a novel prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target in human GC.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of miR-451 to inhibit proliferation of esophageal carcinoma cell line EC9706.
METHODS: Assays for cell growth, apoptosis and invasion were used to evaluate the effects of miR-451 expression on EC cells. Luciferase reporter and Western blot assays were used to test whether cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2D (CDKN2D) and MAP3K1 act as major targets of miR-451.
RESULTS: The results showed that CDKN2D and MAP3K1 are direct targets of miR-451. CDKN2D and MAP3K1 overexpression reversed the effect of miR-451. MiR-451 inhibited the proliferation of EC9706 by targeting CDKN2D and MAP3K1.
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that miR-451 might be a novel prognostic biomarker and a potential target for the treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in the future.

Abstract
AIM: To explore the effect of overexpression of miR-451 on cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion in human esophageal carcinoma cell line EC9706.
METHODS: MiR-451 mimics were constructed and transfected into EC9706 cells using LipofectamineTM2000. EC9706 cells transfected with Scramble-miR, empty liposomes or negative miR-451 were used as controls. Forty-eight hours after transfection, the expression of miR-451 was detected by RT-PCR, and the expression of Bcl-2, AKT and phosphorylated AKT proteins were detected by Western blot. Cell apoptosis, invasion and proliferation were assessed by flow cytometry, transwell assay and MTT assay, respectively.
RESULTS: Compared to control cells, the expression of miR-451 was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.01, F = 69.26); the expression of Bcl-2, AKT and phosphorylated AKT proteins was significantly down-regulated (P < 0.05, F = 5.83); cell apoptosis rate significantly increased (P < 0.01, F = 26.72); the average number of cells penetrating Matrigel membrane significantly decreased (P < 0.01, F = 34.55); and cell proliferation was significantly suppressed in a time-dependent manner (P < 0.05, F = 5.95) in EC9706 cells transfected with miR-451 mimics.
CONCLUSION: Over-expression of miR-451 induces apoptosis and suppresses cell proliferation and invasion in human esophageal carcinoma cell line EC9706.
