Objective: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. This study aimed to analyze the prognostic value of microRNA-1266-5p (miR-1266-5p) in HCC patients and investigate its biological function in HCC progression. Methods: The expression of miR-1266-5p in tissues and cells was measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to detect HCC cell proliferation. Transwell assay was performed to evaluate the migration and invasion of HCC cells. Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox regression analysis were used to assess the prognostic value of miR-1266-5p in HCC patients. The relationship between miR-1266-5p and DAB2IP was evaluated by luciferase reporter assay. Results: Relative expression of miR-1266-5p in tumor tissues, tissues from patients with advanced TNM stage (III–IV) and HCC cells was increased compared with that in corresponding control group. MiR-1266-5p expression was significantly associated with tumor size and TNM stage in HCC patients. Elevated expression of miR-1266-5p was associated with poor prognosis of HCC patients and served as an independent prognostic factor for HCC patients. Overexpression of miR-1266-5p significantly promoted, while miR-1266-5p knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells. DAB2IP could directly bind to the miR-1266-5p. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that elevated expression of miR-1266-5p can predict the poor prognosis of HCC patients, and promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells. Therefore, we predict that miR-1266-5p may be a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for the treatment of HCC.

Background/Aims: This study aimed to investigate the expression and prognostic value of kinesin family member 2A (KIF2A) and the suppression effects of microRNA-206 (miR-206) on KIF2A in ovarian cancer. Methods: Ovarian cancer tissues from patients and ovarian cancer cell lines (A2780 and SKOV3) were used in this study. miR-206 mimics and control were transiently transfected into cells. RT-qPCR was performed to detect KIF2A mRNA and miR-206 expression levels, Western blot was performed to detect KIF2A protein levels, Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay was used to examine the inhibition effects of miR-206 on KIF2A mRNA, immunohistochemical staining was used to examine the expression of KIF2A in tissue sections. CCK-8, transwell and Annexin-V-FITC/Propidium Iodide staining with flow cytometry were used to detect the cell proliferation, migration/invasion, and apoptosis respectively. Results: Our study explored the expression profiles of KIF2A and miR-206 in the patients with ovarian cancer. We found that overexpression of KIF2A was associated with a poor prognosis in ovarian cancer. We also found that KIF2A mRNA contains two target sites for miR-206 binding and confirmed that miR-206 directly suppresses KIF2A; inhibits ovarian cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion; and induces apoptosis. Conclusion: The results suggest KIF2A could serve a valuable prognostic indicator in ovarian cancer and provide a rationale for treatment of ovarian cancer by targeting KIF2A via miR-206.

The Impact

Background:B7-H6 is a novel co-stimulatory protein that is exclusively expressed on a variety of cancer cells and associated with poor prognosis. T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a highly aggressive hematological malignancy whose treatment requires reliable prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. The rare nature and delayed progression of T-LBL has limited its clinical management. Methods:B7-H6 expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 65 T-LBL samples, and its association with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis was analyzed. Jurkat cell with B7-H6 depletion was constructed to investigate the impact of B7-H6 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion ability. RNA sequencing was used to explore aberrantly expressing genes. Results:In this study, we used immunohistochemistry to show the expression of B7-H6 in 61.5% (40/65) of the cohort, including 38.5% (25/65) patients with membrane/cytoplasmic expression of B7-H6. Although B7-H6 expression varied across samples and did not correlate with patient survival, it was significantly associated with B symptoms, higher ECOG score (3-4), elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase, and reduced complete remission at interim evaluation. B7-H6 underwent translocation into the nucleus of T-LBL cells and had a specific nuclear localization sequence in the C-terminus. Depleting Jurkat cells of B7-H6 impaired cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. RNAseq showed the differential expression of RAG-1 that could be involved in the tumorigenesis of T-LBL. Conclusions:B7-H6 may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target of T-LBL. Disclosures Ke: Peking University Third Hospital:Current Employment.

Aberrant expression of FAM64A was correlated with cell proliferation in various cancer types. We examined the expression of FAM64A and the upstream gene miR-493 in OS. The functions of miR-493 were revealed through extensive experiments. We found an increase of FAM64A gene and protein in OS tissues. Overexpression of FAM64A resulted in promoting tumor proliferation, migration, and invasion. The miR-493 targeted and negatively regulated FAM64A. Our data showed that upregulation of FAM64A in OS correlated with poor prognosis.
