ObjectiveColorectal cancer (CRC) is highly malignant and cancer metastasis remains the predominant cause of CRC death. The potential molecular mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) in CRC malignance is still poorly elucidated.MethodsCCMAlnc expression was analyzed by using the Sequence ReadArchive (SRA) database. Target gene expression was examined by real-time PCR and Western blotting. The biological function of CCMAlnc and miR-5001-5p was detected by cell invasion, CCK8 proliferation, and colony formation assays in loss of function and gain of function experiments in vitro. A luciferase assay was performed to validate the target site of miR-5001-5p on the 3′-UTR of HES6 mRNA.ResultsCCMAlnc was identified as a novel functional lncRNA in CRC. Elevated CCMAlnc was detected in CRC cells as well as in clinical CRC tissue samples, and the expression of this lncRNA positively correlated with the poor prognosis of CRC patients. Functional validation assays revealed that downregulation of CCMAlnc impaired CRC cell proliferation and invasion in vitro, but upregulation of CCMAlnc reversed this effect. Moreover, CCMAlnc was validated to act as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) that stabilizes the expression of HES6 by downregulating miR-5001-5p.ConclusionCCMAlnc/miR-5001-5p/HES6 signaling is strongly activated to promote CRC malignance. CCMAlnc is defined as a potential candidate biomarker for metastasis prediction in CRC patients and as a potential therapeutic target for CRC treatment.

Long non-coding RNA LINC00152 had been reported as an oncogene in gastric and hepatocellular cancer. In this study, we show that LINC00152 is overexpressed in gallbladder cancer (GBC) tissue samples and cell lines. The high LINC00152 levels correlated negatively with the overall survival time in GBC patients. Functionally, LINC00152 dramatically promoted cell migration, invasion and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression in vitro. In vivo , LINC00152 overexpression significantly promoted tumour peritoneal spreading and metastasis. Mechanistic analyses indicated that LINC00152 functions as a molecular sponge for miR-138, which directly suppresses the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). We revealed that miR-138 is a suppressor of GBC cell metastasis and EMT progression, and a similar phenomenon was observed in HIF-1α knockdown NOZ cells. Through binding to miR-138, LINC00152 has an oncogenic effect on GBC. Overall, our study suggested that the LINC00152/miR-138/HIF-1α pathway potentiates the progression of GBC, and LINC00152 may be a novel therapeutic target.

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNA H19 was demonstrated to be significantly correlated with tumor metastasis. However, the specific functions of H19 in colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis and the underlying mechanism are still largely unclear. Methods Use public database to screen the potential lncRNA crucial for metastasis in colorectal cancer. The expression of H19 in clinical CRC specimens was detected by qRT-PCR. The effect of H19 on the metastasis of CRC cells was investigated by transwell, wound healing assays, CCK-8 assays and animal studies. The potential proteins binding to H19 was identified by LC-MS and verified by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP). The expression of indicated RNA and proteins were measured by qRT-PCR or western blot. Results We found the expression of lncRNA H19 was significantly upregulated in primary tumor and metastatic tissues, correlated with poor prognosis in CRC. Ectopic H19 expression promoted the metastasis of colorectal cancer cells in vitro and in vivo , and induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Mechanistically, H19 directly bound to hnRNPA2B1. Knockdown of hnRNPA2B1 attenuated the H19-induce migration and invasion in CRC cells. Furthermore, H19 stabilized and upregulated the expression of Raf-1 by facilitated the interaction between hnRNPA2B1 and Raf-1 mRNA, resulting in activation of Raf-ERK signaling. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate the role of H19/hnRNPA2B1/EMT axis in regulation CRC metastasis, suggested H19 could be a potential biomarker to predict prognosis as well as a therapeutic strategy for CRC.

To investigate the expression characteristics of long non-coding RNA SNHG14 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its effects on epithelial-mesenchymal transition and development of nano-coated si-SNHG14 as an anti-tumor agent. The SNHG14 expression in cancerous and adjacent non-cancerous tissues was monitored using reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Gain- and loss-of-function experiments tested the regulation of SNHG14, miR- 5590-3p, and ZEB1 on PD-L1. The binding association between the above three factors was verified using bioinformatics analysis. EMT-related E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin were tested using Western blot. Animal experiments in nude mice verified the function of SNHG14 in the EMT of NPC in vivo. The nano-coated si-SNHG14 was developed as an anti-tumor agent and was verified NPC cell in vitro. SNHG14 was upregulated in NPC tissues. Knocking down SNHG14 markedly inhibited the EMT of NPC. Additionally, the expression of ZEB1 was positively related to that of the SNHG14, while it was inversely correlated with that of miR-5590-3p. Moreover, ZEB1 transcription upregulated PD-L1 and promoted the EMT, while SNHG14 could accelerate the EMT of NPC in vivo by regulating the PD-1 and PD-L1. SNHG14-miR-5590- 3p-ZEB1 positively regulated PD-L1 and facilitate the EMT of NPC. Nano-coated si-SNHG14 significantly downregulated PD-L1 expression and decreased EMT.

Abstract Background Colorectal cancer (CC) is one of the major contributors to tumor-related death worldwide, and its main cause of death is distant metastasis. Dysregulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC01605 has been implicated in CC. However, its role in metastasis of CC remains elusive. The goal of the study is to uncover the biological function and molecular mechanism of LINC01605 in CC. Methods The differentially expressed lncRNAs were first screened from GSE97300, GSE84983, GSE110715, GSE70880, and GSE75970 microarrays. The correlation between the expression of LINC01605 and the clinical phenotypes of enrolled CC patients (n = 134) was subsequently analyzed. The upstream and downstream regulatory mechanisms of LINC01605 in CC were identified through bioinformatics and RNA-seq analyses. Finally, the effects of related factors on CC cell growth and metastasis were confirmed through functional validation experiments. Results LINC01605, significantly highly expressed in CC, was a prognostic factor for patients with CC. Functional experiments revealed that LINC01605 knockdown inhibited the proliferatory and metastatic potential of CC cells in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, LINC01605 was regulated by SMYD2-EP300-mediated modifications of histone H3K4me3 as well as H3K27ac. LINC01605 was found to bind to METTL3 and promote the m6A modification of SPTBN2 mRNA, thereby facilitating the translation of SPTBN2. Conclusions Overexpression of LINC01605, regulated by SMYD2-EP300-mediated H3K27ac and H3K4me3 modifications, bound to METTL3 protein to promote m6A modification of SPTBN2 mRNA, leading to the development of CC.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of microRNA-202 (miR-202) and its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) in vivo and in vitro. We examined the expression of miR-202 in CRC tissues by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay. Lentiviral vectors were constructed to overexpress or inhibit the expression of miR-202 in the CRC cell lines HCT116 and SW480 to determine its effects on cell invasion and proliferation. We found that overexpression of miR-202 significantly inhibited the proliferation and invasion of HCT116 cells. MiRNA target gene prediction, dual luciferase assay, and western blot analysis demonstrated that miR-202 regulated ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domain 1 (UHRF1) expression in both cell lines. The effect of miR-202 on cell proliferation and invasion was partially reversed by activating the expression of UHRF1. Furthermore, miR-202 induced tumor formation in HCT116 xenograft BALB/c nude mice. Mice vaccinated with miR-202-overexpressing cells had smaller tumors and lower UHRF1 expression than the control group. These results indicate the possibility that miR-202 is under-expressed in CRC tissues, and that miR-202 inhibits the proliferation and invasion of CRC via targeting UHRF1. MiR-202 is a potential therapeutic target for CRC.
