Glioma is the most common and lethal malignant intracranial tumor. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as pivotal regulators in the tumorigenesis of glioma. However, the role of lncRNA urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) in glioma genesis is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the underlying function of UCA1 on glioma genesis. The results demonstrated that UCA1 was upregulated in glioma tissue and indicated a poor prognosis. UCA1 knockdown induced by si-UCA1 significantly suppressed the proliferative, migrative, and invasive activities of glioma cell lines (U87 and U251). Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay verified the complementary binding within UCA1 and miR-122 at the 3-UTR. Functional experiments revealed that UCA1 acted as an miR-122 sponge to modulate glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion via downregulation of miR-122. Overall, the present study demonstrated that lncRNA UCA1 acts as an endogenous sponge of miR-122 to promote glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, which provides a novel insight and therapeutic target in the tumorigenesis of glioma.

Accumulating studies have suggested the dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in brain tumors, including glioma. miR-6869-5p has been documented to be aberrantly expressed in diverse cancers. However, the precise role of miR-6869-5p in glioma remains poorly understood. This study is aimed at evaluating its modifying effects on glioma. Significantly decreased expression of miR-6869-5p was found in glioma tissues and cells. Negative association was documented between miR-6869-5p and PGK1 in glioma cells, and PGK1 was demonstrated to be a targeted gene of this miRNA by luciferase reporter assay. miR-6869-5p regulated glioma cell proliferation and invasion via targeting PGK1. In addition, the survival analysis had suggested that low miR-6869-5p expression predicted poor prognosis of glioma patients. This study has suggested that miR-6869-5p is a useful tumor suppressor and prognostic marker in glioma.

Underlying Mechanisms

Purpose: Glioma is identified as a broad category of brain and spinal cord tumors. MiR-32 is important in regulating the genesis of different cancers; however, the underlying mechanisms of miR-32 in glioma still largely unknown. This study aimed to elucidate pathobiological functions of miR-32 in glioma and verify its effect on the regulation of enhancer of zeste homolog 2. Methods: The expression of miR-32 and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot in glioma tissues and cells. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to examine the effects of miR-32 on human glioma cells proliferation. Transwell assay was used to examine cell metastasis, respectively. Two bioinformatics analysis software and luciferase reporter assay were chosen to confirm targeting association between miR-32 and enhancer of zeste homolog 2. Results: MiR-32 was downregulated in glioma tissues and cells. Furthermore, enhancer of zeste homolog 2 expression was upregulated and negatively correlated with miR-32 in clinical tissues. Ectopic expression of miR-32 inhibited glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 was identified as direct target gene of miR-32 in glioma. Overexpression of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 ablated the inhibitory effects of miR-32. Conclusion: In summary, our finding suggests that miR-32 acts an important role in inhibiting glioma cell proliferation and metastasis and suppresses the expression of ABCC4 by directly targeting its 3′-untranslated region. The miR-32/enhancer of zeste homolog 2 axis may provide new insights to the treatment for glioma.

Background: Glioma is the most common malignant tumor in the human central nervous system. Long noncoding RNA nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) promotes oncogenesis in various tumors. In the present study, we aimed to examine the role of NEAT1 in altering the properties of gliomas. Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR technology was used to determine the expression levels of relevant genes in tumor tissues and cell lines. The protein expression levels were validated by Western blotting. CCK-8 and colony formation assays were used to test the cell proliferation ability. A luciferase reporter assay was used to determine the interactions of the genes. Tumor xenografts were used to detect the role of NEAT1 in gliomas in vivo. Results: We demonstrated that NEAT1 was upregulated glioma cells and negatively correlated with miR-98-5p in glioma tissues. A potential binding region between NEAT1 and miR-98-5p was confirmed by dual-luciferase assays. NEAT1 knockdown inhibited glioma cell proliferation. The inhibition of miR-98-5p rescued the knockdown of NEAT1 in glioma cells. BZW1 was identified as a direct target of miR-98-5p. We also identified that BZW1 was positively correlated with NEAT1 in glioma tissues. NEAT1 knockdown inhibited glioma cell proliferation in vivo via miR-98-5p/BZW1. Conclusion: Our results suggest that NEAT1 plays an oncogenic function in glioma progression. Targeting NEAT1/miR-98-5p/BZW1 may be a novel therapeutic treatment approach for glioma patients.

Abstract Background: Circular RNA (circRNA) has been reported as an important regulator in the development and progression of various carcinomas. However, the role of circRNA_100290 in gastric cancer (GC) is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of circRNA_100290 in GC invasion and metastasis and its possible mechanism.Methods: The expression of circRNA_100290 in GC cells and tissues were examined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The role of circRNA_100290 in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion was evaluated on AGS and HGC-27 cell lines in vitro. Bioinformatics tools, dual-luciferase reporter assay, Western blot assay and qRT-PCR were used to explore the downstream pathways of circRNA_100290. The mechanism underlying the regulation of the expression of circRNA_100290 was explored using RNA immunoprecipitation, qRT-PCR, and Western blot assays.Results: The expression of circRNA_100290 was found significantly upregulated in GC cells and 102 GC tissues, high expression of circRNA_100290 in GC was closely related to Borrmann’s types, lymph node metastasis and tumor-node-metastasis staging. In vitro, knockdown of circRNA_100290 in AGS and HGC-27 cells significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Mechanistically, dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed a direct binding between circRNA_100290 and miR-29b-3p, which targets ITGA11, an oncogene which is closely related to epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). In addition, EIF4A3, one of RNA binding proteins (RBPs), could inhibit the formation of circRNA_100290 via enriching flanking sites of circRNA_100290. Low expression of EIF4A3 in GC was related to a worse prognosis.Conclusions: Elevated circRNA_100290 in GC promotes cell proliferation, invasion and EMT via miR-29b-3p/ITGA11 axi and might be regulated by EIF4A3. CircRNA_100290 might be a promising biomarker and target for GC therapy.

AbstractCircular RNAs have been reported to play significant roles in regulating pathophysiological processes while also guiding clinical diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, only a few circRNAs have been identified thus far. Herein, we investigated the role of a specific closed-loop structure of hsa_circ_101555 that was generated by back-splicing of the host gene casein kinase 1 gamma 1 (CSNK1G1) in the development and proliferation of HCC. We investigated the expression of Hsa_circ_101555 in HCC and normal tissues using bioinformatics. The expression level of hsa_circ_101555 was further detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization and qRT-PCR in ten HCC patients. Transwell, migration, WST-1 assays, and colony formation assays were used to evaluate the role of hsa_circ_101555 in HCC development and proliferation. The regulatory mechanisms of hsa_circ_101555 in miR-145-5p and CDCA3 were determined by dual luciferase reporter assay. A mouse xenograft model was also used to determine the effect of hsa_circ_101555 on HCC growth in vivo. hsa_circ_101555 showed greater stability than the linear RNA; while in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that hsa_circ_101555 silencing significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells. Rescue experiments further demonstrated that suppression of miR-145-5p significantly attenuated the biological effects of hsa_circ_101555 knockdown in HCC cells. We also identified a putative oncogene CDCA3 as a potential miR-145-5p target. Thus, our results demonstrated that hsa_circ_101555 might function as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-145-5p to upregulate CDCA3 expression in HCC. These findings suggest that hsa_circ_101555 may be a potential therapeutic target for patients with HCC.

Background/Aims: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a novel class of protein-noncoding transcripts that are aberrantly expressed in multiple diseases including cancers. LINC00152 has been identified as an oncogene involved in many kinds of cancer; however, its expression pattern and function in human glioma remain unclear. Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was carried out to measure LINC00152 expression in human glioma cell lines and tissues. CCK-8 and EdU assays were performed to assess cell proliferation, and scratch assays and Transwell assays were used to assess cell migration and invasion, respectively. Luciferase reporter assays were carried out to determine the interaction between miR-16 and LINC00152. In vivo experiments were conducted to assess tumor formation. Results: LINC00152 was found to be significantly upregulated in human glioma cell lines and clinical samples. Knockdown of LINC00152 suppressed glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. In vivo assays in nude mice confirmed that LINC00152 knockdown inhibits tumor growth. Furthermore, mechanistic investigation showed that LINC00152 binds to miR-16 in a sequence-specific manner and suppresses its expression. miR-16 inhibition strongly attenuated LINC00152 knockdown–mediated suppressive effects on proliferation, migration, and invasion. Moreover, LINC00152 induced BMI1 expression by sponging miR-16; this effect further promoted glioma cell proliferation and invasion. Conclusion: We regard LINC00152 as an oncogenic lncRNA promoting glioma cell proliferation and invasion and as a potential target for human glioma treatment.
