Abstract
miRNAs play a crucial role in regulating genes involved in cancer progression. Recently, miR-153 has been mainly well-known as a tumor suppressive miRNA modulating genes in proliferation, metastasis, EMT, angiogenesis and drug resistance ability of a variety types of cancer. Mechanistic activity of miR-153 in tumorigenicity has not been fully reviewed. This manuscript presents a comprehensive review on the tumor suppressive activity of miR-153 as well as introducing the controversial role of miR-153 as an oncogenic miRNA in cancer. Furthermore, it summarizes all potential non-coding RNAs such as long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs), transcribed ultra-conserved regions (T-UCRs) and circular RNAs (CircRNAs) targeting and sponging miR-153. Understanding the critical role of miR-153 in cell growth, metastasis, angiogenesis and drug resistance ability of cancer cells, suggests miR-153 as a potential prognostic biomarker for detecting cancer as well as providing a novel treatment strategy to combat with several types of cancer.

Cheng Z, Liu G, Huang C, Zhao X. KLF5 activates lncRNA DANCR and inhibits cancer cell autophagy accelerating gastric cancer progression. NPJ Genom Med 2021; 6:75. [PMID: 34548487 PMCID: PMC8455684 DOI: 10.1038/s41525-021-00207-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Cancer cell autophagy has been associated with the progression of gastric cancer (GC), but involvement of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) remains unclear. Initial bioinformatics analysis has identified abnormally highly expressed KLF5 in GC, as well as the predicted regulatory mechanism associating with lncRNA DANCR, miR-194, and AKT2. The expression of KLF5, DANCR, and AKT2 in GC tissue was upregulated, and the expression of miR-194 was downregulated. We knocked KLF5 down and manipulated the expression of DANCR, miR-194, and AKT2 to characterize their roles in GC cell viability, autophagy, and apoptosis. The mechanistic investigations revealed that KLF5 activated the transcription of DANCR in the promoter region and elevated its expression. DANCR acted as a miR-194 sponge to repress its expression in GC. MiR-194 targeted and inhibited AKT2 expression. Silencing KLF5 augmented GC cell autophagy, apoptosis and impeded its viability through the DANCR/miR-194/AKT2 axis. The tumor-inhibiting properties of KLF5 knockdown were substantiated in vivo. Together, our study uncovered the oncogenic role of KLF5-dependent lncRNA DANCR transcription in GC in vivo and in vitro, which implicates the miR-194/AKT2 axis in tumor growth regulation, and it may be a potential therapeutic target for human GC.

Abstract
Globally, there were over 1 million new gastric cancer (GC) patients in 2018 and GC has become the sixth most common cancer worldwide. GC caused 783,000 deaths worldwide in 2018, making it the third most deadly cancer type. miRNAs are short (~22 nucleotides in length) non‑coding RNA molecules, which can regulate gene expression passively at a post‑transcriptional level. There are more and more in‑depth studies on miRNAs. There are numerous conclusive evidences that there is an inseparable link between miRNAs and GC. miRNAs can affect the entire process of GC, including the oncogenesis, development, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of GC. Although many miRNAs have been linked to GC, few can be applied to clinical practice. This review takes the clinical changes of GC as a clue and summarizes the miRNAs related to GC that have confirmed the mechanism of action in the past three years. Through in‑depth study and understanding of the mechanism of those miRNAs, we predict their possible clinical uses, and suggest some new insights to overcome GC.

Front Genet 2020; 11:715. [PMID: 32849774 PMCID: PMC7432170 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2020.00715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2020] [Accepted: 06/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of human long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FYVE RhoGEF And PH Domain Containing 5 Antisense RNA 1 (FGD5-AS1) and its downstream epigenetic axis, human microRNA-153-3p (hsa-miR-153-3p)/Cbp/P300-interacting transactivator with Glu/Asp-rich carboxy-terminal domain 2 (CITED2) in human gastric cancer. Methods Gastric cancer cell lines and clinical tumor samples were used to assess FGD5-AS1 expression levels. Lentivirus containing FGD5-AS1 small interfering RNA (sh-FGD5AS1) was applied to knockdown FGD5-AS1 expression. Cancer cells in vitro and in vivo proliferation, and 5-FU chemoresistance were assessed, respectively. Expressions of hsa-miR-153-3p/CITED2 were also assessed in FGD5-AS1-downregulated gastric cancer cells. Hsa-miR-153-3p was knocked down and CITED2 was upregulated to assess their direct functional correlations with FGD5-AS1 in gastric cancer. Results Both gastric cancer cell lines and human tumor samples showed aberrant FGD5-AS1 upregulation. Lentiviral-induced FGD5-AS1 knockdown reduced cancer proliferation, 5-FU chemoresistance in vitro, and tumorigenicity in vivo. Hsa-miR-153-3p/CITED2 axis was confirmed to be downstream of FGD5-AS1 in gastric cancer. Hsa-miR-153-3p inhibition or CITED2 upregulation reversed the tumor-suppressing effects of FGD5-AS1 downregulation on gastric cancer proliferation and 5-FU chemoresistance. Conclusion We demonstrated that FGD5-AS1 can regulate human gastric cancer cell functions, possibly through its downstream epigenetic axis of hsa-miR-153-3p/CITED2.

Onco Targets Ther 2019; 12:9611-9625. [PMID: 32009797 PMCID: PMC6859470 DOI: 10.2147/ott.s223598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2019] [Accepted: 10/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most malignant type of breast cancer. MicroRNAs (miRs) and their corresponding molecular targets are associated with the occurrence and development of various human malignancies. However, the roles of the microRNA-153 (miR-153) and zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2)-induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in TNBC and predictive effect of miR-153 on the prognosis of TNBC have not been fully elucidated. Materials and methods Relative miR-153 expression level was examined by RT-qPCR assay in TNBC tissues of 60 patients and TNBC cell lines (SKBR3, BT-549 and MDA-MB-231). Cell proliferation ability, invasion ability and migration ability were measured by CCK8 assay, Transwell invasion assay and wound healing assay, respectively. Luciferase reporting experiment was used to confirm that there was a miR-153-binding site in ZEB2 3ʹ-UTR. The expression of ZEB2 in tissues and its relationship with miR-153 were analyzed with immunohistochemistry method. Relative ZEB2, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Vimentin mRNA and protein expression levels were observed with RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively. Based on risk factors, a prognostic model was established according to the Cox proportional risk model, and the prognostic risk factors of TNBC patients were predicted and analyzed. Results The expression of miR-153 in TNBC tissues and cells was declined (all P<0.01), and upregulation of miR-153 inhibited proliferation, invasion and migration of TNBC cells (all P<0.01). In addition, miR-153 regulated ZEB2/EMT link in TNBC, and ZEB2 overexpression reversed the tumor-suppressive effect of miR-153 in TNBC. Moreover, miR-153 was an independent predictive factor that was associated with excellent prognosis in TNBC patients. Conclusion miR-153 may inhibit TNBC proliferation, invasion and migration by regulating ZEB2/EMT link. Therefore, miR-153 is expected to be a molecular target and prognostic marker for TNBC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in gastric carcinogenesis and have been associated with gastric field cancerization; however, their role is not fully understood in this process. We performed the miRNome sequencing of non-cancerous, adjacent to tumor and gastric cancer samples to understand the involvement of these small RNAs in gastric field cancerization. METHODS We analyzed samples of patients without cancer as control (non-cancerous gastric samples) and adjacent to cancer and gastric cancer paired samples, and considered miRNAs with |log2(fold change)| > 2 and Padj < 0.05 to be statistically significant. The identification of target genes, functional analysis and enrichment in KEGG pathways were realized in the TargetCompare, miRTargetLink, and DAVID tools. We also performed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and miRNAs that had an AUC > 0.85 were considered to be potential biomarkers. RESULTS We found 14 miRNAs exclusively deregulated in gastric cancer, of which six have potential diagnostic value for advanced disease. Nine miRNAs with known tumor suppressor activities (TS-miRs) were deregulated exclusively in adjacent tissue. Of these, five have potential diagnostic value for the early stages of gastric cancer. Functional analysis of these TS-miRs revealed that they regulate important cellular signaling pathways (PI3K-Akt, HIF-1, Ras, Rap1, ErbB, and MAPK signaling pathways), that are involved in gastric carcinogenesis. Seven miRNAs were differentially expressed in both gastric cancer and adjacent regarding to non-cancerous tissues; among them, hsa-miR-200a-3p and hsa-miR-873-5p have potential diagnostic value for early and advanced stages of the disease. Only hsa-miR-196a-5p was differentially expressed between adjacent to cancer and gastric cancer tissues. In addition, the other miRNAs identified in this study were not differentially expressed between adjacent to cancer and gastric cancer, suggesting that these tissues are very similar and that share these molecular changes. CONCLUSION Our results show that gastric cancer and adjacent tissues have a similar miRNA expression profile, indicating that studied miRNAs are intimately associated with field cancerization in gastric cancer. The overexpression of TS-miRs in adjacent tissues may be a barrier against tumorigenesis within these pre-cancerous conditions prior to the eventual formation or relapse of a tumor. Additionally, these miRNAs have a great accuracy in discriminating non-cancerous from adjacent to tumor and cancer tissues and can be potentially useful as biomarkers for gastric cancer.

[PMID: 31200531 PMCID: PMC6616415 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8060845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2019] [Revised: 06/05/2019] [Accepted: 06/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Gastric MALT lymphoma (GML) is directly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection but occurs only in a small number of infected subjects. Mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of GML remain unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are now considered as major players in inflammation and carcinogenesis, acting as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Previous laboratory studies have shown in a GML mouse model that overexpression of a distinct set of five miRNAs (miR-21a, miR-135b, miR-142a, miR-150, miR-155) could play a critical role in the pathogenesis of GML. Our goal was to compare the miRNA expression profile obtained in the GML mouse model to that in human GML (11 cases of GML compared to 17 cases of gastritis control population). RTqPCR on the five dysregulated miRNAs in the GML mouse model and PCR array followed by RTqPCR confirmation showed that four miRNAs were up-regulated (miR-150, miR-155, miR-196a, miR-138) and two miRNAs down-regulated (miR-153, miR-7) in the stomachs of GML patients vs. gastritis control population. The analysis of their validated targets allowed us to postulate that these miRNAs (except miR-138) could act synergistically in a common signaling cascade promoting lymphomagenesis and could be involved in the pathogenesis of GML.
