Abstract Radiotherapy is essential to treat breast cancer and microRNA (miRNA) miR-200c is considered as a radiosensitizer of breast cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms by which miR-200c regulates radiosensitivity remain largely unknown. In the present study, we showed that induction of miR-200c led to widespread alteration in long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expression in breast cancer cells. We identified lncRNA LINC02582 as a target of miR-200c. Inhibition of LINC02582 expression increased radiosensitvity, while overexpression of LINC02582 promoted radioresistance. Mechanistically, LINC02582 interacts with deubiquitinating enzyme ubiquitin specific peptidase 7 (USP7) to deubiquitinate and stabilize checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1), a critical effector kinase in DNA damage response, thus promoting radioresistance. Furthermore, we detected an inverse correlation between the expression of miR-200c vs. LINC02582 and CHK1 in breast cancer samples. These findings identified LINC02582 as a downstream target of miR-200c linking miR-200c to CHK1, in which miR-200c increases radiosensitivity by downregulation of CHK1.

Breast cancer is a serious threat to women’s physical and psychological health. Long noncoding RNA CAMTA1 (lncCAMTA1) was believed to be related with tumor progression, but its role in breast cancer is not clear. The human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was used to investigate the effect of lncCAMTA1 on cell viability, migration/invasion, and apoptosis. The expression of lncCAMTA1, miR-20b, and VEGF in MDA-MB-231 were measured after corresponding transfections. Binding effects between lncCAMTA1 and miR-20b, miR-20b, and VEGF 3′-UTR were measured. The effects of miR-20b and VEGF on breast cancer cells were also assessed after transfections. The phosphorylation levels of the MAPK/ERK and JAK/STAT3 pathways were determined to assess the effect of VEGF. The results showed that lncCAMTA1 expression promoted cell viability and migration/invasion, while knockdown of lncCAMTA1 promoted cell apoptosis via binding with miR-20b. lncCAMTA1 negatively regulated miR-20b expression. VEGF was a target of miR-20b, leading to the modification of the phosphorylation levels of MAPK, ERK, JAK, STAT1, and STAT3. Our findings suggested that lncCAMTA1 might promote proliferation and mobility of human breast cancer cells via binding with miR-20b. VEGF was a direct target of miR-20b and regulated activation of the MAPK/ERK and JAK/STAT3 signaling pathways. Therefore lncCAMTA1 has potential as a novel cancer diagnostic marker and as a putative novel therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment.

In this work, we investigated the expression pattern and regulatory function of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1) in breast cancer. We found that KCNQ1OT1 was significantly upregulated in breast cancer cell lines. In lentiviral-transduced BT-549 and HCC1599 cells, KCNQ1OT1 knockdown impaired cancer cell functions, including in vitro proliferation and migration, and in vivo transplant growth. The possible sponging target of KCNQ1OT1, human microRNA-107 (hsa-miR-107), was confirmed to be bound by KCNQ1OT1, and was upregulated in breast cancer cells with KCNQ1OT1 downregulation. Further, hsa-miR-107 knockdown in KCNQ1OT1-downregulated cancer cells reversed its impairing effects on cancer cell proliferation and migration in vitro. Thus, loss of KCNQ1OT1 is associated with functional impairment in breast cancer cells, likely through inverse regulation of its sponging target, hsa-miR-107.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress perturbs cell homeostasis and induces the unfolded protein response (UPR). In breast cancer, this process is activated by oestrogen deprivation and is associated with tamoxifen resistance. We present evidence that the transcription factor SOX2 and the long noncoding RNA SOX2 overlapping transcript (SOX2OT) are up-regulated in oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer and in response to oestrogen deprivation. We examined the effect of the UPR on SOX2 and SOX2OT expression, and the effect of SOX2OT on UPR pathways in breast cancer cell lines. The induction of the UPR by thapsigargin or glucose deprivation up-regulates SOX2OT expression. This up-regulation is also shown with the anti-oestrogen 4OH-tamoxifen and mTOR inhibitor everolimus in ER + breast cancer cells that are sensitive to oestrogen deprivation or everolimus treatment. SOX2OT overexpression decreased BiP and PERK expression. This effect of SOX2OT overexpression was confirmed on BiP and PERK pathway by q-PCR. Our results show that a long noncoding RNA regulates the UPR and evince a new function of SOX2OT as a participant of ER stress reprogramming of breast cancer cells.
