Objective. The purpose of this study was to describe the role of Cavin3 in the progression of lung cancer and its underlying mechanism. Methods. Totally, 200 cases of lung cancer tissues and corresponding paracancer tissues were collected. Cavin3 expression in samples was determined by qRT-PCR, and the correlation with lung cancer stages as well as prognosis was statistically analyzed combined with matched clinical information. To investigate the mechanism of Cavin3 in lung cancer progression, firstly, Cavin3 was detected in lung cancer cell lines A549, PC9, and H520. Then, cells with stable Cavin3 overexpression and Cavin3 knockout were established to determine the effect of Cavin3 overexpression on the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. Subsequently, cells were harvested for cell proliferation, migration, and invasion assays in vitro, as well as nude mouse transplantation tumor experiment in vivo. Results. Cavin3 was seen to be highly expressed in cancer tissues. Statistical analysis with matched clinical data showed that Cavin3 as a prognostic indicator of lung cancer had important clinical value. In addition, it could be found that high expression of Cavin3 was able to promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and also potentiate tumor formation in vivo. Conclusion. Cavin3 was highly expressed in lung cancer, and it was capable to promote cell proliferation, invasion, and migration.

Some related reports indicate that the outer retinal membrane protein 1 (ROM1) functions importantly in the regulation of the biological process of tumor. Nevertheless, studies towards the role of ROM1 in lung cancer are few. Here, our data demonstrated that ROM1 displayed a relation with lung cancer tumorigenesis and development. In the Tumor Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort, reduced ROM1 level was observed in lung cancer tissues, instead of normal tissues. After bioinformatics analysis, the data revealed that ROM1 level was associated with the tumor stage. Additional results indicated that highly expressed ROM1 exhibited a positive correlation with the overall survival rate, and ROM1 was probably a promising prognostic biomarker of lung cancer. Additionally, our results indicated that knocking out ROM1 could promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Our data conclusively demonstrated that ROM1 modulated lung cancer tumorigenesis and development, as a prognosis and treatment biomarker.

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a type of noncoding RNA that can interact with miRNAs to regulate gene expression. However, little is known concerning circRNA, which is crucial in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. To date, limited studies have explored the role of circ_0044516 in lung cancer progression. Recently, we observed that circ_0044516 expression levels were obviously elevated in lung cancer tissues and cells. A549 and SPCA1 cells were transfected with circ_0044516 siRNA. We observed that knockdown of circ_0044516 dramatically repressed cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis, and repressed the cell cycle. Moreover, A549 and SPCA1 cell migration and invasion abilities were greatly repressed by circ_0044516 siRNA. Due to accumulating evidence demonstrating the vital role of cancer stem cells, their mechanism of involvement has drawn increasing attention in tumor progression and metastasis research. We also found that cancer stem cell properties were restrained by silencing circ_0044516 in A549 and SPC-A1 cells. Moreover, in vivo xenograft experiments showed that circ_0044516 downregulation reduced tumor growth. Mechanistically, in lung cancer and using bioinformatics, we demonstrated that circ_0044516 sponges miR-136 targeting MAT2A. Furthermore, rescue assays were carried out to identify that circ_0044516 modulates cell proliferation, invasion, and stemness by regulating miR-136 and MAT2A in lung cancer. In summary, our study revealed that the circ_0044516/miR-136/MAT2A axis is involved in lung cancer progression. Our findings may provide novel targets for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention in lung cancer patients.

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer deaths around the world. Previous studies have shown that microRNAs have pivotal functions in tumorigenesis including lung cancer. It is reported that microRNA-195-5p acts as a tumor suppressor role in human cancers. However, the function and molecular mechanism of microRNA-195-5p in lung cancer progression is still unclear. In the present study, the results showed that the expression of microRNA-195-5p was downregulated both in lung cancer tissues and in lung cancer cell lines. Enhanced expression of microRNA-195-5p inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in lung cancer cells. Furthermore, Forkhead box k1 was identified as the direct target of microRNA-195-5p. Forkhead box k1 overexpression could restore the repressed cell proliferation and metastasis caused by microRNA-195-5p overexpression. Our results demonstrated that a functional mechanism of microRNA-195-5p in regulating lung cancer. It indicates that microRNA-195-5p may regulate lung cancer growth and metastasis through the regulation of Forkhead box k1, highlighting the potential application for the treatment of lung cancer in the future.

Circular RNA (circRNA) has been shown to participate in various tumors, including lung cancer. In the present study, we explored the expression and functional relevance of hsa_circ_0003288 in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We verified that hsa_circ_0003288 expression was upregulated in lung cancer tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of hsa_circ_0003288 dramatically promoted lung cancer cell proliferation, colony formation, inhibited apoptosis, and increased cell migration and invasion in vitro. Xenograft experiments showed that hsa_circ_0003288 overexpression accelerated tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, hsa_circ_0003288 negatively regulated miR-145 to exert the oncogenic role in lung cancer. Overexpression of miR-145 decreased cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, and suppressed migration and invasion in lung cancer. Additionally, miR-145 co-transfection abolished the oncogenic role of hsa_circ_0003288. Collectively, these findings identified a novel regulatory role of hsa_circ_0003288/miR-145 axis in the progression of NSCLC.

Abstract Background: Accumulating evidence has suggested that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) played crucial roles in the development of human malignances including breast cancer. SNHG19 is a newly identified lncRNA which exerted oncogenic function in non-small cell lung cancer, but whether SNHG19 was involved the development of other cancer, such as breast cancer still unclear. Methods: qRT-PCR was performed to examine the expression of SNHG19 and miR-299-5p in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. Cell proliferation was measure using CCK-8 and colony formation assay. Cell migration and invasion ability was detected by wound healing assay and transwell invasion assay. Bioinformatics analysis, dual luciferase reporter assay, RIP assay and Pull down assay were used to verify the direct binding between SNHG19 and miR-299-5p. The xenotransplantation mouse model was established to explore the effect of SNHG19 on breast cancer tumor growth in vivo.Results: We found that SNHG19 expression level was up-regulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines, while miR-299-5p expression was down-regulated in breast cancer tissues and it was negatively correlated with SNHG19 expression. Silence of SNHG19 inhibited breast cancer cells proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. Moreover, SNHG19 knockdown suppressed tumor growth of breast cancer cells in vivo. Mechanistically, SNHG19 acted as a ceRNA (competitive endogenous RNA) to sponge miR-299-5p. Finally, the rescue assays further confirmed that miR-299-5p inhibitor reversed the inhibitory effects of SNHG19 knockdown on breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion.Conclusions: In conclusion, our findings proved that SNHG19 promoted breast cancer progression via sponging miR-299-5p and might function as promising prognostic indicator and therapeutic target for breast cancer.

In this study, we investigated the role of curcumin in pancreatic cancer through the regulation of miR-21-5p. We first evaluated the expression of miR-21-5p in pancreatic cancer cells (ASPC-1) treated with different concentrations of curcumin. The results showed that curcumin effectively inhibited the expression of miR-21-5p in ASPC-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. B cell translocation gene 2 was identified as a target gene of miR-21-5p. MiR-21-5p mimics could promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of ASPC-1, as well as decrease the expression of B cell translocation gene 2. Curcumin treatment inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion of ASPC-1, as well as increased the expression of B cell translocation gene 2. MiR-21-5p could reverse the inhibitory activities of curcumin on ASPC-1 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In conclusion, curcumin is capable of inhibiting the proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells via down-regulating miR-21-5p-mediated B cell translocation gene 2.

Abstract Background: Cervical cancer is one most common cancer types among females over the world. While its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Circ-CCDC66 has been revealed to participate in multiple biological functions, and contribute to various diseases’ progression. In the current study, we aimed to demonstrate the role of circ-CCDC66 in cervical cancer progression. Methods: Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was conducted to measure the expression of circ-CCDC66, miR-452-5p, and REXO1 mRNA. Cell fractionation assay and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were performed to locate circ-CCDC66 in cells. Cell account kit 8 (CCK-8) was used to detect cell proliferation ability. Transwell assay was applied to evaluate cell migration or invasion ability. Bioinformatics analysis, biotinylated RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, and dual-luciferase reporter assays were conducted to assess the association between miR-452 and circ-CCDC66 or REXO1. Western blot was applied to measure the protein expression of REXO1. The animal tumor model was used to assess the effect of circ-CCDC66 in vivo . Results: The expression of circ-CCDC66 was upregulated in cervical cancer tumor tissues in comparison with normal tissues, and correlated with later tumor stage and larger tumor size. Downregulated circ-CCDC66 inhibited cervical cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Circ-CCDC66 was an efficient molecular sponge for miR-452-5p, and negatively regulated miR-452-5p expression. MiR-452-5p directly targeted to REXO1. Circ-CCDC66 regulated REXO1 expression to modulate cervical cancer progression via miR-452-5p. Moreover, downregulated circ-CCDC66 was found to suppress tumor growth in vivo. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated the role of circ-CCDC66/miR-452-5p/REXO1 axis in cervical cancer progression, we might provide novel therapeutic targets for cervical cancer clinical intervention.

Glycosyltransferases are frequently dysregulated in lung cancer. Core 1 β 1, 3-galactosyltransferase 1 (C1GALT1), an enzyme highly expressed in various cancers, is correlated with tumor initiation and development. However, the role of C1GALT1 in lung cancer remains poorly understood. In this study, through bioinformatic analysis and clinical validation, we first discovered that C1GALT1 expression was upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tissues and was closely related to poor prognosis in patients with LUAD. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments showed that C1GALT1 promoted LUAD cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro, as well as tumor formation in vivo. Further investigation demonstrated that RAC1 expression was positively regulated by C1GALT1 in LUAD, whereas silencing Rac1 could reverse C1GALT1-induced tumor growth and metastasis. Moreover, miR-181d-5p was identified as a negative regulator for C1GALT1 in LUAD. As expected, the inhibitory effects of miR-181d-5p on LUAD cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were counteracted by restoration of C1GALT1. In summary, our results highlight the importance of the miR-181d-5p/C1GALT1/RAC1 regulatory axis during LUAD progression. Thus, C1GALT1 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for LUAD.

AbstractLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critical players during cancer progression. Nevertheless, the effect of most lncRNAs in lung cancer (LC) remains unclear. We aimed to explore the role of LINC01342 in LC development through the microRNA-508-5p (miR-508-5p)/cysteine-rich secretory protein 3 (CRISP3) axis. LINC01342, miR-508-5p, and CRISP3 expression in clinical samples and cell lines were determined, and their correlations in LC were analyzed. The prognostic role of LINC01342 in LC patients was evaluated. LC cells were screened and, respectively, transfected to alter the expression of LINC01342, miR-508-5p, and CRISP3. Then, proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of transfected LC cells were determined, and the in vivo tumor growth was observed as well. Binding relationships between LINC01342 and miR-508-5p, and between miR-508-5p and CRISP3 were identified. LINC01342 and CRISP3 were upregulated and miR-508-5p was downregulated in LC tissues and cells. High LINC01342 expression indicated a poor prognosis of LC patients. The LINC01342/CRISP3 silencing or miR-508-5p elevation inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of LC cells and promoted LC cell apoptosis, and also suppressed the in vivo tumor growth. LINC01342 bound to miR-508-5p and miR-508-5p targeted CRISP3. LINC01342 plays a prognostic role in LC and LINC01342 silencing upregulates miR-508-5p to inhibit the progression of LC by reducing CRISP3.

Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 1 (IFITM1), a 17-kDa membrane protein, is generally known as a modulator in many cellular functions. Recent studies showed overexpression of IFITM1 in cancers and relationship between IFITM1 overexpression and tumor progression. However, the role of IFITM1 in lung cancer remains unclear. Here, we presented the overexpression of IFITM1 in lung cancer tissues and cell lines A549 and H460 using quantitative Real-Time RT-PCR.In vitroassay indicated IFITM1 silencing inhibited lung cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Further,in vivoassay showed that IFITM1 silencing markedly suppressed cell growth and metastasis of lung cancer in tumor-bearing BALB/c nude mice. Mechanistically, we found that IFITM1 silencing significantly alleviated the protein levels ofβ-catenin, cyclin D1, and c-Mycin lung cancer cells and tumor samples. Taken together, our study revealed the role of IFITM1 as a tumor promoter during lung cancer development and the possible molecular mechanism.
