AbstractLBHD1 (C11ORF48) is one of the ten potential tumor antigens identified by immunoscreening the urinary bladder cancer cDNA library in our previous study. We suspect that its expression is associated with human bladder cancer. However, the exact correlation remains unclear. To address the potential functional relationship between LBHD1 and bladder cancer, we examined the LBHD1 expression at the mRNA and protein level in 5 different bladder cancer cell lines: J82, T24, 253J, 5637, and BLZ-211. LBHD1 high and low expressing cells were used to investigate the migration, invasion, and proliferation of bladder cancer cells following transfection of LBHD1 with siRNA and plasmids, respectively. Our experiment showed that the degree of gene expression was positively related to the migration and invasion of the cancer cells while it had little effect on cell proliferation. Knocking down LBHD1 expression with LBHD1 siRNA significantly attenuated cell migration and invasion in cultured bladder cancer cells, and overexpressing LBHD1 with LBHD1 cDNA plasmids exacerbated cell migration and invasion. Nevertheless, a difference in cell proliferation after transfection of LBHD1 siRNA and LBHD1 cDNA plasmids was not found. Our findings suggest that LBHD1 might play a role in cell migration and invasion.

AbstractThe role of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 (SLCO1B3) in breast cancer is still controversial. The clinical immunohistochemical results showed that a greater proportion of patients with negative lymph nodes, AJCC stage I, and histological grade 1 (P < 0.05) was positively correlated with stronger expression of SLCO1B3, and DFS and OS were also increased significantly in these patients (P = 0.041, P = 0.001). Further subgroup analysis showed that DFS and OS were significantly enhanced with the increased expression of SLCO1B3 in the ER positive subgroup. The cellular function assay showed that the ability of cell proliferation, migration and invasion was significantly enhanced after knockdown of SLCO1B3 expression in breast cancer cell lines. In contrast, the ability of cell proliferation, migration and invasion was significantly reduced after overexpress the SLCO1B3 in breast cancer cell lines (P < 0.05). Overexpression or knockdown of SLCO1B3 had no effect on the apoptotic ability of breast cancer cells. High level of SLCO1B3 expression can inhibit the proliferation, invasion and migration of breast cancer cells, leading to better prognosis of patients. The role of SLCO1B3 in breast cancer may be related to estrogen. SLCO1B3 will become a potential biomarker for breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis assessment.

As one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women, breast cancer accounts for a 30% increase of incidence worldwide since 1970s. Recently, increasing studies have revealed that the long non-coding RNA ILF3-AS1 is involved in the progression of various cancers. Nevertheless, the role of ILF3-AS1 in breast cancer remains largely unknown. In the present study, we found that ILF3-AS1 was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues and cells. ILF3-AS1 silencing inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted cell apoptosis. ILF3-AS1 bound with miR-4429 in breast cancer cells. Moreover, RAB14 was a downstream target of miR-4429, and miR-4429 expression was negatively correlated with RAB14 or ILF3-AS1 expression in breast cancer tissues. The result of rescue experiments demonstrated that overexpression of RAB14 can reverse the inhibitory effect of ILF3-AS1 knockdown on breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Overall, ILF3-AS1 promotes the malignant phenotypes of breast cancer cells by interacting with miR-4429 to regulate RAB14, which might offer a new insight into the underlying mechanism of breast cancer.

Context: ZIC1 has been reported to be overexpressed and plays an oncogenic role in some brain tumors, whereas it is inactivated by promoter hypermethylation and acts as a tumor suppressor in gastric and colorectal cancers. However, until now, its biological role in thyroid cancer remains totally unknown. Objectives: The aim of this study is to explore the biological functions and related molecular mechanism of ZIC1 in thyroid carcinogenesis. Setting and Design: Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to evaluate mRNA expression of investigated genes. Methylation-specific PCR was used to analyze promoter methylation of the ZIC1 gene. The functions of ectopic ZIC1 expression in thyroid cancer cells were determined by cell proliferation and colony formation, cell cycle and apoptosis, as well as cell migration and invasion assays. Results: ZIC1 was frequently down-regulated by promoter hypermethylation in both primary thyroid cancer tissues and thyroid cancer cell lines. Moreover, our data showed that ZIC1 hypermethylation was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid cancer. Notably, restoration of ZIC1 expression in thyroid cancer cells dramatically inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion, and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by blocking the activities of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK (MAPK) pathways, and enhancing FOXO3a transcriptional activity. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that ZIC1 is frequently inactivated by promoter hypermethyaltion and functions as a tumor suppressor in thyroid cancer through modulating PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways and transcription factor FOXO3a.

Background/Aims: Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive malignancy as a result of highly metastatic potential. The current study was carried out to alter the expression of LINC01121 in pancreatic cancer, with the aim of elucidating its effects on the biological processes of cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. We hypothesized that both the GLP1R gene and cAMP/PKA signaling pathway participate in the aforementioned process. Methods: Microarray data (GSE14245, GSE27890 and GSE16515) and annotating probe files linked to pancreatic cancer were downloaded through the GEO database. The Multi Experiment Matrix (MEM) site was used to predict the target gene of lncRNA. Both pancreatic cancer tissues (n = 56) and paracancerous tissues (n = 45) were collected from patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Immunohistochemistry was applied to identify the positive expression rate of GLP1R protein. Isolated pancreatic cancer cells and PANC-1 cells were independently classified into the blank, negative control (NC), LINC01121 vector, siRNA-LINC01121, siRNA-GLP1R and siRNA-LINC01121 + siRNA-GLP1R groups. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot analysis were applied to detect the expressions of LINC01121, GLP1R, cAMP, PKA, CREB, Bcl-2, Bad and PCNA. Cell proliferation, migration, invasion, cycle progression, and apoptosis were examined by MTT assay, scratch test, Transwell assay and flow cytometry analyses of Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. Results: Observations were made indicating that LINC01121 was highly expressed, while low expressions of GLP1R in pancreatic cancer were detected based on microarray data, which was largely in consistent with the data collected of LINC01121 and GLP1R within the tissues. The target prediction program and luciferase activity analysis was testament to the notion suggesting that GLP1R was indeed a target of LINC01121. In contrast to the blank and NC groups, the LINC01121 vector group exhibited increased expressions of LINC01121; decreased mRNA and protein levels of GLP1R, Bad, cAMP, and PKA; increased protein levels of CREB, Bcl-2, PCNA, p-PKA and p-CREB; increased cell proliferation, migration and invasion; and decreased cell apoptosis. There was no significant difference detected among the blank, NC, and siRNA-LINC01121 + siRNA-GLP1R groups, except that decreased LINC01121 expression was determined in the siRNA-LINC01121 + siRNA-GLP1R group. Parallel data were observed in the pancreatic cancer cells and PANC-1 cells. Conclusion: The current study presents evidence indicating that LINC01121 might inhibit apoptosis while acting to promote proliferation, migration, and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells, supplementing the stance held that LINC01121 functions as a tumor promoter by means of its involvement in the process of translational repression of the GLP1R and inhibition of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway.

We sought to investigate the effect of rose petal extract (RPE) on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells. RPE significantly inhibited the growth of lung and colorectal cancer cell lines, with rapid suppression of A549 lung cancer cells at low concentrations. These effects occurred concomitantly with downregulation of the cell proliferation mediators PCNA, cyclin D1, and c-myc. In addition, RPE suppressed the migration and invasion of A549 cells by inhibiting the expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-2 and -9). We hypothesize that the suppressive activity of RPE against lung cancer cell proliferation and early metastasis occurs via the EGFR-MAPK and mTOR-Akt signaling pathways. These early results highlight the significant potency of RPE, particularly for lung cancer cells, and warrant further investigation.

AbstractLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with 50–70% of patients suffering from bone metastasis. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that miRNAs are involved in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in malignancy, such as lung cancer bone metastasis. In the present study, we demonstrated that reduced miR-192-5p and increased TRIM44 levels were associated with the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung cancer. Furthermore, the potential functions of miR-192-5p were explored in A549 and NCI-H1299 cells. We found that miR-192-5p upregulation suppressed tumour behaviours in lung cancer cells. To further investigate whether miR-192-5p is associated with TRIM44, we used TargetScan software to predict the binding site between miR-192-5p and TRIM44. Luciferase activity assays were performed to verify this prediction. In addition, the significant role of miR-192-5p in negatively regulating TRIM44 expression was manifested by our research group. our results suggest that miR-192-5p inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung cancer through TRIM44.
