Further studies on the molecular mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cells in the maintenance of growth and function are essential for their clinical application. Growing evidence has shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in the regulation of mesenchymal stem cells. Recently, it is reported that highly upregulated in liver cancer (HULC), with another lncRNA MALAT-1, accelerated liver cancer stem cell growth. The regulating role of MALAT-1 in mesenchymal stem cells has been investigated. However, the effects of HULC on the mesenchymal stem cells are unknown. In this study, we overexpressed HULC in mesenchymal stem cells derived from umbilical cord and analyzed the cell phenotypes, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. We found that overexpression of HULC significantly promotes cell proliferation through promoting cell division and inhibits cell apoptosis. HULC-overexpressed mesenchymal stem cells migrate and invade faster than control mesenchymal stem cells. HULC has no effect on phenotypes and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Furthermore, we found that the expression of HULC in mesenchymal stem cells could be reduced by several inflammatory factors, including TNF-α, TGF-β1, and R848. Taken together, our data demonstrated that HULC has a vital role in the growth and function maintenance of mesenchymal stem cells without affecting differentiation. Impact statement Exploring the molecular mechanisms of growth and function in MSCs is the key to improve their clinical therapeutic effects. Currently, more and more evidence show that the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays an important role in the growth, stemness and function of MSCs.Both HULC and MALAT1 are the earliest discovered LNCRNAs, which are closely related to tumor growth. All of them can promote the growth of liver cancer stem cells. Previously, we have studied the effects of MALAT1 on the growth and function of MSCs. In this study, we focused on the effects of HULC on MSCs. We elucidated the effects of HULC on the growth and differentiation of MSCs, and explored the relationship between inflammatory stimuli and HULC expression in MSCs. Our findings provide a new molecular target for the growth and clinical application of MSCs.

Abstract Background Colon cancer is a serious malignant tumor. It has been reported that paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (PITX2) can promote the progression of several types of cancer via regulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. It has also been demonstrated that high levels of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gastric carcinoma high expressed transcript 1 (GHET1) can also promote the development of cervical cancer via activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. However, whether PITX2 can affect the development of colon cancer via regulating the expression of lncRNA GHET1 remains unclear. Results The results demonstrated that PITX2 knockdown attenuated the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of colon cancer cells. Additionally, PITX2 promoted the expression of lncRNA GHET1 via binding to its promoter. Overexpression of lncRNA GHET1 induced the expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling-related proteins, cyclin D1, c-Myc and MMP-7. Furthermore, lncRNA GHET1 overexpression abrogated the PITX2 silencing-mediated decreased proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of colon cancer cells. Conclusion The findings of the present study suggested that PITX2 could enhance the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of colon cancer cells via upregulating lncRNA GHET1 and activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract Background Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are proposed to be responsible for almost all malignant phenotypes (e.g. heterogeneity, uncontrolled growth, metastasis, recurrence, chemoresistance) of tumors. Long non-coding RNA WT1 antisense RNA (WT1-AS) has been found to be involved in the regulation of lung cancer cell stemness. However, the roles and molecular mechanisms of WT1-AS in the maintenance and development of gastric cancer stem cells (GSCs) have not been investigated. Methods mRNA and protein expression was measured by RT-qPCR and western blot. CCK8 and Soft agar colony formation assays were performed to assess cell viability and colony clone formation ability. Cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry analysis. Cell transwell and wound healing analyses were carried out to assess cell migration ability. In vitro angiogenesis and 3D spheroid cultures assays were also performed. Moreover, in vitro experiments were carried out to explore the function of WT1-AS on tumor growth, metastasis and cell stemness. The upstream transcription factors or downstream genes of WT1-AS were screened through Bioinformatics, dual-luciferase assays and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) technology. Results Our present study demonstrated that WT1-AS knockdown or wilms tumor 1 (WT1) overexpression improved GSC proliferative and migratory capacities, promoted GSC EMT, enhanced GSC stemness, inhibited GSC apoptosis, potentiated the resistance of GSCs to 5-FU and induced HUVEC angiogenesis in vitro. WT1-AS loss or WT1 increase facilitated the formation of in-vitro 3D GSC aggregates. WT1-AS ameliorated the malignant phenotypes of GSCs by down-regulating WT in vitro. Additionally, WT1-AS inhibited tumor growth and metastasis, and reduced tumor stemness in GSCs-derived xenografts (s.c., i.p., and i.v.) in vivo. Furthermore, XBP1 was identified as an upstream regulator of WT1-AS in GSCs. RNA-seq and RT-qPCR data suggested that PSPH, GSTO2, FYN, and PHGDH might be the downstream targets of WT1-AS in GSCs. Conclusions Our data demonstrated that WT1-AS weakened the stem-cell like behaviors and characteristics of GSCs in vitro and in vivo by down-regulating WT1. Also, some upstream regulators and downstream targets of WT1-AS were identified in GSCs. Investigations on the molecular mechanisms underlying the complex phenotypes of GSCs might contribute to the better management of headaches in cancers.
