Background. Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most frequent bone tumor with high metastasis. This study is aimed at assessing the expression and prognostic significance of microRNA-1826 (miR-1826) in OS patients, as well as its biological function in tumor progression. Methods. Quantitative Real-Time PCR was employed to measure the expression of miR-1826 in OS tissues and cell lines. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression model were used to evaluate the prognostic value of miR-1826. CCK-8 and Transwell assay were conducted to investigate the effect of miR-1826 on OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Results. miR-1826 expression was downregulated in OS tissues and cell lines and associated with OS patients’ clinical stage and distant metastasis. Low levels of miR-1826 were related with shorter survival time and determined as an independent prognostic indicator for the overall survival of OS patients. The overexpression of miR-1826 in OS cells led to inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Conclusion. The decreased expression of miR-1826 predicts a poor prognosis in OS patients, and its overexpression inhibits OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. This newly identified miR-1826 provides a novel sight into the pathogenesis of OS and offers a candidate prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for OS treatment.

Abstract Background: Pancreatic cancer(PC) is seriously harmful to human health, and the pathogenesis is not clear. The present study aimed to explore the functional role of syncytin-1 in PC.Methods: Syncytin-1 and miR-31 expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis in both human PC cell lines and tissuse. The prognostic significance of syncytin-1 was investigated using the immunohistochemistry(IHC) and Kaplan-Meier survival. The CCK-8 assay and transwell assays were used to determine the role of syncytin-1 and miR-31 in cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Luciferase reporter assays was used to identify possible miRNA targets in tumorigenesis.Results: The results showed that the syncytin-1 level was significantly decreased in PC cell lines and tissues than normal(P < 0.05), while miR-31 was markedly higher than normal(P < 0.05), and low expression of syncytin-1 have a poor prognosis than high expression(P < 0.05). Overexpression of syncytin-1 significantly reduced the PC cell proliferation and invasion ability in PANC-1 and BxPC-3 cells(P < 0.05), and miR-31showed contrary results. The Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay demonstrated that miR-31 binded directly to 3’UTR of syncytin-1 and resulting in the inhibition of syncytin-1. The overexpression of miR-31 promoted migration and proliferation of PC cells through down-regulating the expression of syncytin-1.Conclusion: We verified that syncytin-1 can inhibit proliferation and invasion of PC cell lines by targeting miR-31.

Abstract Long non-coding RNA brain cytoplasmic RNA 1 (BCYRN1) has been found to play an important role in tumorigenesis of a variety of tumors including gastric cancer (GC). However, the prognostic significance and molecular mechanism of BCYRN1 was still unknown in GC. In the present study, we found BCYRN1 expression was dramatically elevated in GC tissues and cell lines, and positively associated with tumor depth, lymph node metastasis and clinical stage in patients with GC. Moreover, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses demonstrated that high BCYRN1 expression was independent prognostic factor for overall survival in GC patients. In lncRNA-microRNA interactome database, we found that there were putative binding sites between BCYRN1 and miR-204-5p. Furthermore, we confirmed that down-regulation of BCYRN1 inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration and invasion through directly up-regulated miR-204-5p expression. In conclusion, BCYRN1 acts as a promising prognostic predictor in GC patients and regulated GC cell proliferation, cell cycle, migration and invasion through targeting miR-204-5p.

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.

Abstract Background Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignancy predominantly occurred in children and adolescents. Numerous microRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of various cancers. This study aimed to investigate the expression profiles of miR-99b and its prognostic value in OS patients, and further analyze the biological function of miR-99b in the tumor progression by using OS cells. Methods Expression of miR-99b was measured using quantitative real-time PCR. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox regression analysis were performed to evaluate the prognostic value of miR-99b. OS cell lines were used to investigate the effects of miR-99b on cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Results A significant decreased expression of miR-99b was observed in the OS tissues and cell lines respectively compared with the normal tissues and cells. Aberrant expression of miR-99b was associated with the patients’ metastasis and TNM stage, and could be used to predict the prognosis of OS. The expression of miR-99b was regulated in vitro by cell transfection, and we found that the overexpression of miR-99b led to suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion, whereas the knockdown of miR-99b resulted in the opposite results. Conclusions In one word, the aberrantly expressed miR-99b serves a prognostic biomarker for OS patients. OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion can be inhibited by the overexpression of miR-99b, suggesting that the methods to increase miR-99b expression may be novel therapeutic strategies in OS.

Background Long noncoding RNAs (IncRNAs) play essential roles in tumor progression. Aberrant colorectal cancer-associated IncRNA (CCAL) has been found in colorectal cancer. However, the function of IncRNA CCAL in osteosarcoma (OS) remains unclear. Methods Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to measure CCAL expression in OS tissues and adjacent nontumor tissues. The correlation betweent CCAL expression and clinicopathological features and prognosis was also analyzed. In addition, the function of CCAL was further evaluated by cell proliferation, migration and invasion assays. Results We showed that CCAL was significantly up-regulated in OS tissues compared with adjacent nontumor tissues. Increased expression of CCAL was correlated with advanced TNM stage and metastasis. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that patients with high CCAL expression had lower overall survival than those with low CCAL expression. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that CCAL expression might be an independent prognostic factor for OS patients. In addition, functional assays showed that decreased CCAL expression could inhibit OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability. Conclusions Our findings suggested that CCAL plays critical roles in OS progression and could act as a therapeutic target in the treatment of OS.

Abstract Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the common malignant diseases of hematopoietic system. Paxillin ( PXN ) is an important part of focal adhesions (FAs), which is related to the poor prognosis of many kinds of malignant tumors. However, no research has focused on the expression of PXN in AML. We aimed to investigate the expression of PXN in AML and its prognostic significance. Methods: Using GEPIA and UALCAN database to analyze the expression of PXN in AML patients and its prognostic significance. Bone marrow samples of newly diagnosed AML patients were collected to extract RNA, and qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of PXN . The prognosis was followed up. Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between PXN expression and clinical laboratory characteristics. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to draw survival curve, and Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients with AML. The co-expression genes of PXN were analyzed by LinkedOmics to explore its biological significance in AML. Results: Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the overall survival time of AML patients was related to whether to receive treatment and PXN expression(P<0.05). COX regression analysis showed that whether to receive treatment (HR=0.227，95%CI=0.075-0.689， P =0.009) and high expression of PXN (HR=4.484，95%CI=1.449-13.889， P =0.009) were independent poor prognostic factors in patients with AML. Conclusion: PXN is highly expressed in AML patient, and high PXN expression is an indicator of poor prognosis in AML patient.

Abstract Background: Cervical cancer is a common malignant tumor in women that is prone to recurrence and metastasis. Recently, many people have explored the role of protocadherin 7 (PCDH7) in cancer, and found that PCDH7 is abnormally expressed in many cancers. The purpose of this study is to investigate the expression and mechanism of PCDH7 in cervical cancer and evaluate its clinical prognostic significance.Methods: The expression of PCDH7 in cervical cancer and cells was detected by qRT-PCR. The relationship between PCDH7 expression and clinical prognosis was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analyses. The effects of PCDH7 on cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were studied by MTT assay and transwell assays.Results: The expression of PCDH7 in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines was significantly down-regulated compared with the control. Low PCDH7 expression was associated with low survival rate. PCDH7 expression was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis, cell differentiation, and FIGO staging. PCDH7 can be used as an independent prognostic factor for cervical cancer. Up-regulation of PCDH7 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells.Conclusions: PCDH7 may be used as a biomarker for the prognosis of cervical cancer.
