Proliferation And Migration

Abstract Background Abnormal proliferation and migration of human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) play an important role in the development of childhood asthma. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to participate in HASMC proliferation and migration. We aimed to explore more effects and molecular mechanism of taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) in childhood asthma. Results TUG1 and SMURF2 were overexpressed and miR-216a-3p was downregulated in childhood asthma patients and PDGF-BB-stimulated HASMCs. TUG1 knockdown attenuated PDGF-BB-triggered proliferation and migration of HASMCs. MiR-216a-3p was targeted by TUG1, and miR-216a-3p suppression counteracted the repressive effects of TUG1 interference on proliferation and migration in PDGF-BB-treated HASMCs. SMURF2 was a downstream target of miR-216a-3p, and SMURF2 upregulation abated the inhibiting effects of miR-216a-3p on migration and proliferation in PDGF-BB-exposed HASMCs. TUG1 sponged miR-216a-3p to positively regulate SMURF2 expression. Conclusion TUG1 downregulation inhibited PDGF-BB-induced HASMC proliferation and migration by regulating miR-216a-3p/SMURF2 axis, offering novel insight into the potential application of TUG1 for childhood asthma treatment.

Abstract Breast cancer (BC) poses a great threaten to women health. Numerous evidences suggest the important role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in BC development. In the present study, we intended to investigate the role of ARAP1-AS1 in BC progression. First of all, the GEPIA data suggested that ARAP1-AS1 was highly expressed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRAC) tissues compared with the normal breast tissues. Meanwhile, the expression of ARAP1-AS1 was greatly up-regulated in BC cell lines. ARAP1-AS1 knockdown led to repressed proliferation, strengthened apoptosis and blocked migration of BC cells. Moreover, ARAP1-AS1 could boost HDAC2 expression in BC through sponging miR-2110 via a ceRNA mechanism. Of note, the UCSC predicted that HDAC2 was a potential transcriptional regulator of PLIN1, an identified tumor suppressor in BC progression. Moreover, we explained that the repression of HDAC2 on PLIN1 was owing to its deacetylation on PLIN1 promoter. More importantly, depletion of PLIN1 attenuated the mitigation function of ARAP1-AS1 silence on the malignant phenotypes of BC cells. To sum up, ARAP1-AS1 serves a tumor-promoter in BC development through modulating miR-2110/HDAC2/PLIN1 axis, which may help to develop novel effective targets for BC treatment.

Abstract Background: Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been verified to have significant regulatory roles in multiple human cancer processes. Long non-coding RNA LINC00152, located on chromosome 2p11.2, was identified as an oncogenic lncRNA in various cancers. However, the biological function and molecular mechanism of LINC00152 in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) are still unknown.Methods: Bioinformatic analysis was performed to determine LINC00152 expression levels in the CCA and normal tissues by using raw microarray data downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE76297) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to validate LINC00152 expression in the CCA tissues compared with that in the paired normal tissues. CCK8, colony formation, Edu assays, transwell assays, flow cytometry, and in vivo tumor formation assays were performed to investigate the biological function of LINC00152 on CCA cell phenotypes. RNA-seq was carried out to identify the downstream target gene which was further examined by qRT-PCR, western bolt and rescue experiments. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed to reveal the factors involved in the mechanism of LINC00152 functions in CCA.Results: LINC00152 is significantly upregulated in cholangiocarcinoma. LINC00152 regulated the proliferation and migration of cholangiocarcinoma cells both in vitro and in vivo. RNA-seq revealed that LINC00152 knockdown preferentially affected genes linked with cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell adhesion. Furthermore, mechanistic investigation validated that LINC00152 could bind EZH2 and modulate the histone methylation of promoter of leucine rich repeats and immunoglobulin like domains 1 (LRIG1), thereby affecting cholangiocarcinoma cells growth and migration.Conclusion: Taken together, these results demonstrated the significant roles of LINC00152 in cholangiocarcinoma and suggested a new diagnostic and therapeutic direction of cholangiocarcinoma.

The present study was directed toward laying new findings for Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL)-oriented therapy with a focus on long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)–microRNAs (miRNAs)–mRNA interaction. The expression and function of XIST (X-inactive specific transcript) were analyzed both in vivo and in vitro. The online database of lncRNA-miRNA interaction was used to screen the target of XIST, and miR-497 was selected. Next, the predicted binding between XIST and miR-497, and the dynamic effect of XIST and miR-497 on downstream Bcl-w was evaluated. We found that XIST dramatically increased in the blood of ENKL patients and cell lines. XIST knockdown suppressed the cell proliferation and migration in vivo and in vitro. Herein, we confirmed the negative interaction between XIST and miR-497. Moreover, XIST knockdown reduced the protein levels of Bcl-w, a downstream target of miR-497. XIST sponges miR-497 to promote Bcl-w expression, and finally modulating ENKL cell proliferation and migration. To be interested, inhibition of Bcl-w by ABT737 can overcome the high expression of XIST, and suppressed the ENKL proliferation and migration by inducing apoptosis. This study provided a novel experimental basis for ENKL-oriented therapy with a focus on the lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA interaction.
