ABSTRACT Long noncoding RNAs play a pivotal role in tumor progression, but their role in cancer cells in the nutrient-starved tumor microenvironment remains unknown. Here, we show that a nutrient starvation-responsive long noncoding RNA, JHDM1D antisense 1 (JHDM1D-AS1), promotes tumorigenesis by regulating angiogenesis in response to nutrient starvation. Expression of JHDM1D-AS1 was increased in cancer cells. In addition, expression of JHDM1D-AS1 was increased in clinical tumor samples compared to that in normal tissue. Stable expression of JHDM1D-AS1 in human pancreatic cancer (PANC-1 and AsPC-1) cells promoted cell growth in vitro. Remarkably, these JHDM1D-AS1-expressing cells showed a significant increase in tumor growth in vivo that was associated with increased formation of CD31+ blood vessels and elevated infiltration of CD11b+ macrophage lineage cells into tumor tissues. Genome-wide analysis of tumor xenografts revealed that expression of genes for tumor-derived angiogenic factors such as hHGF and hFGF1 concomitant with host-derived inflammation-responsive genes such as mMmp3, mMmp9, mS100a8, and mS100a9 was increased in tumor xenografts of JHDM1D-AS1-expressing pancreatic cancer cells, leading to a poor prognosis. Our results provide evidence that increased JHDM1D-AS1 expression under nutrient starvation accelerates tumor growth by upregulating angiogenesis, thus laying the foundation for improved therapeutic strategies.

ObjectivePancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal human malignancies. Gemcitabine is widely used to treat pancreatic cancer, and the resistance to chemotherapy is the major difficulty in treating the disease. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, which regulates RNA splicing, stability, translocation, and translation, plays critical roles in cancer physiological and pathological processes. METTL14, an m6A Lmethyltransferase, was found deregulated in multiple cancer types. However, its role in gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer remains elusive.MethodsThe mRNA and protein level of m6A modification associated genes were assessed by QRT-PCR and western blotting. Then, gemcitabine‐resistant pancreatic cancer cells were established. The growth of pancreatic cancer cells were analyzed using CCK8 assay and colony formation assay. METTL14 was depleted by using shRNA. The binding of p65 on METTL14 promoter was assessed by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. Protein level of deoxycytidine kinase (DCK) and cytidine deaminase (CDA) was evaluated by western blotting. In vivo experiments were conducted to further confirm the critical role of METTL14 in gemcitabine resistance.ResultsWe found that gemcitabine treatment significantly increased the expression of m6A methyltransferase METTL14, and METTL14 was up-regulated in gemcitabine-resistance human pancreatic cancer cells. Suppression of METTL14 obviously increased the sensitivity of gemcitabine in resistant cells. Moreover, we identified that transcriptional factor p65 targeted the promoter region of METTL14 and up-regulated its expression, which then increased the expression of cytidine deaminase (CDA), an enzyme inactivates gemcitabine. Furthermore, in vivo experiment showed that depletion of METTL14 rescue the response of resistance cell to gemcitabine in a xenograft model.ConclusionOur study suggested that METTL14 is a potential target for chemotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer.

Abstract Background Chemoresistance is one of the main causes of poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients. Understanding the mechanisms implicated in chemoresistance of pancreatic cancer is critical to improving patient outcomes. Recent evidences indicate that the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involving in chemoresistance of pancreatic cancer. However, the mechanisms of lncRNAs contribute to resistance in pancreatic cancer and remain largely unknown. The objective of this study is to construct a chemoresistance-related lncRNA-associated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network of pancreatic cancer and identify the key lncRNAs in regulating chemoresistance of the network. Methods Firstly, lncRNA expression profiling of gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cells was performed to identify lncRNAs related to chemoresistance by microarray analysis. Secondly, with insights into the mechanism of ceRNA, we used a bioinformatics approach to construct a chemoresistance-related lncRNAs-associated ceRNA network. We then identified the topological key lncRNAs in the ceRNA network and demonstrated its function or mechanism in chemoresistance of pancreatic cancer using molecular biological methods. Further studies evaluated its expression to assess its potential association with survival in patients with pancreatic cancer. Results Firstly, we demonstrated that lncRNAs were dysregulated in gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cells. We then constructed a chemoresistance-related lncRNA-associated ceRNA network and proposed that lncRNA Homo sapiens glutathione S-transferase mu 3, transcript variant 2 and noncoding RNA (GSTM3TV2; NCBI Reference Sequence: NR_024537.1) might act as a key ceRNA to enhance chemoresistance by upregulating L-type amino acid transporter 2 (LAT2) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1(OLR1) in pancreatic cancer. Further studies demonstrated that GSTM3TV2, overexpressed in gemcitabine-resistant cells, enhanced the gemcitabine resistance of pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we identified that GSTM3TV2 upregulated LAT2 and OLR1 by competitively sponging let-7 to promote gemcitabine resistance. In addition, we revealed that the expression levels of GSTM3TV2 were significantly increased in pancreatic cancer tissues and were associated with poor prognosis. Conclusion Our results suggest that GSTM3TV2 is a crucial oncogenic regulator involved in chemoresistance and could be a new therapeutic target or prognostic marker in pancreatic cancer.
