Long noncoding RNA MAPKAPK5‐AS1 promotes colorectal cancer proliferation by partly silencing p21 expression

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy in the world, and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays a critical role in carcinogenesis. Here, we report a novel lncRNA, MAPKAPK5‐AS1, that acts as a critical oncogene in CRC. In addition, we attempted to explore the functions of MAPKAPK5‐AS1 on tumor progression in vitro and in vivo. Quantitative RT‐PCR was used to examine the expression of MAPKAPK5‐AS1 in CRC tissues and cells. Expression of MAPKAPK5‐AS1 was significantly upregulated in 50 CRC tissues, and increased expression of MAPKAPK5‐AS1 was found to be associated with greater tumor size and advanced pathological stage in CRC patients. Knockdown of MAPKAPK5‐AS1 significantly inhibited proliferation and caused apoptosis in CRC cells. We also found that p21 is a target of MAPKAPK5‐AS1. In addition, we are the first to report that MAPKAPK5‐AS1 plays a carcinogenic role in CRC. MAPKAPK5‐AS1 is a novel prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic candidate for CRC cancer.     

A novel lncRNA-LINC01116 regulates tumorigenesis of glioma by targeting VEGFA

Brain glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system, and one of the leading causes of death in patients with intracranial tumors. The clinical outcome of glioma is usually poor due to abundant vascularity, fast growth and susceptibility of invasion to normal brain tissues. Our microarray study showed that lncRNA-LINC01116 was significantly upregulated in glioma tissues and played an important role in cell proliferation, cycle, migration, invasion and angiogenesis. In addition, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) may be the major target genes in the downstream of lncRNA-LINC01116. Dual luciferase assay showed that LINC01116 and VEGFA both contained a miR-31-5p binding site, and LINC01116 could regulate the expression of VEGFA through competitive absorption of miR-31-5p. RNA immunoprecipitation indicated that LINC01116 and VEGFA were present in the miR-31-5p-RISC complex, and biotinylated miR-31-5p pull-down assay suggested that there was a competitive relationship between LINC01116 and VEGFA to bind with miR-31-5p. Collectively, our study has identified a novel lncRNA-LINC01116 and clarified the role and mechanism of LINC01116 in the tumorigenesis of glioma. LINC01116 may prove to be a potential target for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of glioma.     

lncRNA Xist/miR-215-5p下调LPAR4表达对乳腺癌细胞增殖与转移的影响

目的:探讨溶血磷脂酸受体4（LPAR4)在乳腺癌组织中的表达水平及与乳腺癌发生发展的关系，探究lncRNA Xist/miR-215-5p对LPAR4的调控作用。方法:通过Targetscan和Starbase预测LPAR4的上游通路lncRNA Xist/miR-215-5p。使用慢病毒转染LPAR4和miR-215-5p；使用质粒转染lncRNA Xist。在MDA-MB-231细胞系中，通过MTT和划痕实验检测细胞的增殖和转移能力。结果:LPAR4在乳腺癌细胞系中高表达，miR-215-5p和lncRNA Xist为低表达。Western blot显示LPAR4在乳腺癌细胞系中高表达。MTT和划痕实验提示上调LPAR4可以促进MDA-MB-231细胞的增殖和转移能力。进一步实验发现lncRNA Xist可以上调miR-215-5p，并且负性调控LPAR4；且lncRNA Xist可以抑制MDA-MB-231细胞的增殖能力。除此之外，在lncRNA Xist下调细胞中，上调miR-215-5p可以抑制lncRNA Xist下调介导的细胞增殖能力增强。结论:lncRNA Xist/miR-215-5p可能通过调控LPAR4的表达，为治疗乳腺癌提供可能的新靶点。LPAR4在乳腺癌细胞中高表达，可能成为乳腺癌潜在的肿瘤标志物。     

The role of lncRNA MSC-AS1/miR-29b-3p axis-mediated CDK14 modulation in pancreatic cancer proliferation and Gemcitabine-induced apoptosis

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related death due to the failure of traditional therapies. In the present study, we attempted to construct a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network which may modulate PDAC cell proliferation and Gemcitabine-induced cell apoptosis starting from CDK14, a new member of the CDK family and an oncogene in many cancers. Based on TCGA data, a significant positive correlation was observed between lncRNA MSC-AS1 and CDK14. Moreover, MSC-AS1 expression was upregulated in PDAC tissues. Higher MSC-AS1 expression was correlated with poorer prognosis in patients with PDAC. MSC-AS1 knockdown in Panc-1 and BxPC-3 cells significantly inhibited the cell proliferation. Moreover, miR-29b-3p, which has been reported to act as a tumor suppressor, was predicted to bind to both MSC-AS1 and CDK14. Contrary to MSC-AS1, higher miR-29b-3p expression was correlated to better prognosis in patients with PDAC. In both PDAC cell lines, miR-29b-3p negatively regulated MSC-AS1 and CDK14. As confirmed using luciferase reporter gene and RIP assays, MSC-AS1 served as a ceRNA for miR-29b-3p to counteract miR-29b-mediated CDK14 repression. MSC-AS1 knockdown inhibited CDK14 protein levels and PDAC proliferation and enhanced gemcitabine-induced cell death and apoptosis while miR-29b-3p inhibition exerted an opposing effect; the effect of MSC-AS1 knockdown was partially attenuated by miR-29b-3p inhibition. Taken together, we demonstrated that MSC-AS1/miR-29b-3p axis modulates the cell proliferation and GEM-induced cell apoptosis in PDAC cell lines through CDK14. We provided a novel experimental basis for PDAC treatment from the perspective of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network.
