AbstractMAFG-AS1 is an oncogenic lncRNA in multiple types of cancer. However, its role in bladder cancer (BC) remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the function of MAFG-AS1 in BC. BC and paired non-tumor tissues were collected. Two BC cell lines HT01197 and HT-1376 were used. Dual luciferase activity assay, RT-qPCR, western blot, CCK-8, transwell invasion assay, and wound healing assay were performed. We found that MAFG-AS1 was significantly up-regulated in BC tissues and predicted a poor survival rate. MAFG-AS1 interacted with miR-125b-5p. However, the expression levels of MAFG‑AS1 and miR-125b-5p were not obviously correlated in BC tissues, and MAFG‑AS1 and miR-125b-5p did not regulate the expression of each other. Interestingly, we found that SphK1, a downstream target of miR-125b-5p, was negatively correlated with miR-125b-5p, while it was positively correlated with MAFG-AS1 across BC tissues. In addition, overexpression of MAFG‑AS1 upregulated the expression of SphK1 in BC cells, and attenuated the inhibitory effects of miR-125b-5p on the expression of SphK1. Functional assays showed that overexpression of MAFG‑AS1 promoted BC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while its effects were attenuated by overexpression of miR-125b-5p. Moreover, overexpression of miR-125b-5p inhibited BC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while its effects were alleviated by overexpression of SphK1. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that MAFG-AS1 has an oncogenic role in BC by regulating the miR-125b-5p/SphK1 axis. MAFG-AS1 might serve as a good diagnostic marker and a potential therapeutic target of BC.

FOXD3 has been found previously to positively regulate miR-26b, a tumor inhibitor of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, FOXD3’s precise function and associated mechanism of action in NPC have not yet been investigated. In this study, the expression of FOXD3 mRNA and protein was evaluated using RT-qPCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Protein levels involved in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase – protein kinase B (PI3K–Akt) pathway were assessed by western blot, and cell proliferation was determined by MTT and colony forming assays. Additionally, cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometric assay. Finally, the migration and invasion capabilities of the NPC cells were determined using wound healing and Transwell assays. We found that FOXD3 levels were relatively low in NPC tissue and cells, while an increase caused the inhibition of the PI3K–Akt pathway. Functional experiments found that overexpression of FOXD3 suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and enhanced cell apoptosis in NPC C6661 cells. IGF-1, an activator of the PI3K–Akt pathway, reversed the inhibitory effect of FOXD3. Furthermore, we found upregulation of the PI3K–Akt pathway and upregulation of the inhibitory effects of FOXD3 on C6661 cellular activities. In conclusion, FOXD3 negatively affected the PI3K–Akt pathway to restrain the processes involved in C6661 cell pathology. These findings further exposed the function and downstream axis of FOXD3 in NPC and displayed a promising new target for NPC therapy.

Increasing evidence has displayed critical roles of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). Hsa_circ_0043265 (circ_0043265) has been identified as a tumor suppressor in various tumors. Nevertheless, the critical roles of circ_0043265 in the initiation and progression of TSCC are yet to be fully elucidated. In our study, RNA and protein expressions were detected via qRT-PCR and Western blot. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were evaluated via CCK-8 and transwell assays. The interactions between circ_0043265, miR-1243 and SALL1 were analyzed via bioinformatics analyses, RNA pull-down and luciferase assays, respectively. The current study demonstrated that circ_0043265 expression was downmodulated in TSCC tissues and cell lines (SCC25, SCC15, SCC9 and Cal27). Functionally, circ_0043265 overexpression led to an attenuation of cell proliferation, migration and invasion of SCC25 and Cal27 cells. Mechanistically, circ_0043265 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) via competitively sponging miR-1243, and restoration of miR-1243 rescued the inhibitory effects of circ_0043265 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion of SCC25 and Cal27 cells. Finally, it was observed that spalt like transcription factor 1 (SALL1), a potential target of miR-1243, was positively modulated via circ_0043265 in SCC25 and Cal27 cells, and SALL1 knockdown reversed the inhibitory effects of circ_0043265 on SCC25 and Cal27 cells. Collectively, the current study demonstrated that circ_0043265 was downmodulated in TSCC and was identified as a ceRNA that restrained the cell proliferation, migration and invasion of SCC25 and Cal27 cells via modulating the miR-1243/SALL1 axis.
