Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most frequent solid tumors and regarded as a significant threat to individual health around the world. MicroRNAs (miRs) are recognized as critical governors of gene expression during carcinogenesis, while their clinical significance and mechanism in NSCLC occurrence and development are required for further investigation. In this report, we characterized the functional role of miR-598 and its regulation mechanism in NSCLC. The expression level of miR-598 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines was detected by qRT-PCR. A549 cells were transiently transfected with miR-598 mimics or miR-598 inhibitors. Scratch assay and Transwell assay were used to detect cell transfection, migration, and invasion. Possible binding sites of miR-598 in MSI2 mRNA were predicted by bioinformatics and validated by dual-luciferase reporter gene system. The ability of migration and invasion was examined on cells transfected with MSI2 alone or cotransfected A549 cells with miR-598. The expression of miR-598 in NSCLC tissues was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues, and the expression of miR-598 in NSCLC cell lines (A549, H1650, and H1299) was also significantly lower than that of normal lung epithelial cell line BEAS-2B. A549 cells were significantly inhibited in migration and invasion after transfection with miR-598 mimics, while miR-598 inhibitors were significantly enhanced in migration and invasion. MSI2 was a direct target gene of miR-598. MSI2 can promote the migration and invasion of A549 cells, but the ability to promote cell migration and invasion was reversed when miR-598 was introduced. In conclusion, miR-598 inhibits the migration and invasion of NSCLC by downregulating the target gene MSI2.

Cell Migration And Proliferation

18144 Background: Non-small cell lung cancer patients that present with grade IIIB or stage IV disease have a median survival of 5–7 months if left untreated. With modern chemotherapy overall survival may be 11–12 months, but still no patients are cured. We have investigated the impact of modulation of the a-1 subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase in NSCLC. Methods: Cancer tissue from 59 patients with NSCLC (30 adenocarcinomas and 29 squamous cell cancers) and 25 normal lung samples as well as four human NSCLC cell lines (A549, Cal-12T, NCI-H727, A427) were assessed with regard to expression of the a-1 subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase (sodium pump) by use of immunohistochemistry. In addition, A549 cells were transfected with specific a-1 siRNA for study of a-1 subunit expression and of cell proliferation and migration. Protein expression was analyzed by Western blotting. Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT and cell migration by video microscopy. Cell lines were exposed to varying concentrations of ouabain, digoxin, digitoxin and UNBS1450, a novel cardenolide targeting the a-1 subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase for study of proliferation, migration, and inhibition of the target. Results: Expression of the a-1 subunit of Na+/K+- ATPase was elevated in almost half of the tissue samples from patients with NSCLC compared to normal controls. The a-1 subunit was also overexpressed in A549, Cal-12T and NCI-H727 cells. Transfection of A549 cells with siRNA resulted in markedly decreased expression of the a- 1 subunit and also to reduced migration and proliferation of such cells. UNBS1450 at 10 and 100 nM for 72 hours reduced A549 cell migration and proliferation similar to that observed with anti- a-1 siRNA. Digoxin had no activity at these concentrations. Conclusions: Inhibition of the a-1 subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase is associated with significant decrease of cell migration and proliferation and has potential as a therapeutic strategy in NSCLC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Cell Migration And Invasion

Long noncoding RNAs act essential regulators in lung cancer tumorigenesis. Our research aimed to investigate the potential function and molecular mechanisms of MLK7-AS1 in NSCLC (non-small-cell lung cancer). QRT-PCR results indicated that the MLK7-AS1 expression level was upregulated in NSCLC cells and tissues. MLK7-AS1 strengthened cell migration and invasion in H1299 and A549 cells. Luciferase reporter assay found that MLK7-AS1 functioned as an endogenous sponge for miR-375-3p. Transwell assay results showed that miR-375-3p suppressed cell migration and invasion in H1299 and A549 cells. YWHAZ was confirmed as a target gene of miR-375-3p by Targetscan. YWHAZ overexpression promoted the invasion of H1299 and A549 cells. MLK7-AS1 upregulated YWHAZ expression and enhanced H1299 and A549 cell invasion by sponging miR-375-3p. MLK7-AS1 improved the metastasis ability of A549 in vivo. In conclusion, MLK7-AS1 was identified as a novel oncogenic RNA in NSCLC and can function as a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC treatment.

Mesenchymal Transition

Purpose: Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) was reported to play a key role in the development of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The process of EMT is regulated by the changes of miRNAs expression. However, it is still unknown which miRNA changed the most in the process of canceration and whether these changes played a role in tumor development. Methods: A total of 36 SCLC patients treated in our hospital between 11th, 2015 and 10th, 2017 were enrolled. The samples of cancer tissues and paracancer tissues of patients were collected and analyzed. Then, the miRNAs in normal lung cells and NSCLC cells were also analyzed. In the presence of TGF-β, we transfected the miRNA mimics or inhibitor into NSCLC cells to investigate the role of the significantly altered miRNAs in cell migration and invasion and in the process of EMT. Results: MiR-330-3p was significantly up-regulated in NSCLC cell lines and tissues and miRNA- 205 was significantly down-regulated in NSCLC cell lines and NSCLC tissues. Transfected miRNA-205 mimics or miRMA-330-3p inhibitor inhibited the migration and invasion of NCIH1975 cell and restrained TGF-β-induced EMT in NSCLC cells. Conclusion: miRNA-330-3p and miRNA-205 changed the most in the process of canceration in NSCLC. Furthermore, miR-330-3p promoted cell invasion and metastasis in NSCLC probably by promoting EMT and miR-205 could restrain NSCLC likely by suppressing EMT.

Kinesin Superfamily

Abstract Background: Kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs) serve as microtubule-dependent molecular motors, and are involved in the progression of many malignant tumors. In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression pattern and precise role of kinesin family member 21B (KIF21B) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: KIF21B expression in 72 cases of NSCLC tissues was measured by immunohistochemical staining (IHC). We used shRNA-KIF21B interference to silence KIF21B in NSCLC H1299 and A549 cells and normal lung epithelial bronchus BEAS-2B cells. The biological roles of KIF21B in the growth and metastasis abilities of NSCLC cells were measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8), colony formation and Hoechst 33342/PI, wound-healing, and Transwell assays, respectively. Expression of apoptosis-related proteins was determined using western blot. The effect of KIF21B on tumor growth in vivo was examined using nude mice model. Results: KIF21B was up-regulated in NSCLC tissues, and correlated with pathological lymph node and pTNM stage, its high expression was predicted a poor prognosis of patients with NSCLC. Silencing of KIF21B mediated by lentivirus-delivered shRNA significantly inhibited the proliferation ability of H1299 and A549 cells. KIF21B knockdown increased apoptosis in H1299 and A549 cells, down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulated the expression of Bax and active Caspase 3. Moreover, KIF21B knockdown decreased the level of phosphorylated form of Akt (p-Akt) and Cyclin D1 expression in H1299 and A549 cells. In addition, silencing of KIF21B impeded the migration and invasion of H1299 and A549 cells. Further, silencing of KIF 21B dramatically inhibited xenograft growth in BALB/c nude mice. However, silencing of KIF21B did not affect the proliferation, migration and invasion of BEAS-2B cells.Conclusions: These results reveal that KIF21B is up-regulated in NSCLC and acts as an oncogene in the growth and metastasis of NSCLC, which may function as a potential therapeutic target and a prognostic biomarker for NSCLC.

Abstract Background: The HOXA cluster antisense RNA 2 (HOXA-AS2) has recently been discovered to be involved in carcinogenesis in multiple cancers. However, the role and underlying mechanism of HOXA-AS2 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) yet need to be unraveled. Methods: HOXA-AS2 expression in NSCLC tissues and cell lines was detected using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Furthermore, the effects of HOXA-AS2 on NSCLC cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were assessed by MTS, flow cytometry, wound healing and transwell invasion assays, respectively. Starbase2.0 predicted and luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were used to validate the association of HOXA-AS2 and miR-520a-3p in NSCLC cells. Results: Our results revealed that HOXA-AS2 in NSCLC tissues were up-regulated and cell lines, and were associated with poor prognosis and overall survival. Further functional assays demonstrated that HOXA-AS2 knockdown significantly inhibited NSCLC cell proliferation, induced cell apoptosis and suppressed migration and invasion. Starbase2.0 predicted that HOXA-AS2 sponge miR-520a-3p at 3′-UTR, which was confirmed using luciferase reporter and RIP assays. miR-520a-3p expression was inversely correlated with HOXA-AS2 expression in NSCLC tissues. In addition, miR-520a-3p inhibitor attenuated the inhibitory effect of HOXD-AS2-depletion on cell proliferation, migration and invasion of NSCLC cells. Moreover, HOXA-AS2 could regulate HOXD8 and MAP3K2 expression, two known targets of miR-520a-3p in NSCLC. Conclusion: These findings implied that HOXA-AS2 promoted NSCLC progression by regulating miR-520a-3p, suggesting that HOXA-AS2 could serve as a therapeutic target for NSCLC.

BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNA (lncNRA) forkhead box D3 antisense RNA 1 (FOXD3-AS1) has been proved to promote or suppress the occurrence and development of multiple types of human tumors. However, the function and mechanism of FOXD3-AS1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are scarcely understood. METHODS: qRT-PCR was used for detecting FOXD3-AS1, miR-150 and SRC kinase signaling inhibitor 1 (SRCIN1) mRNA expression in NSCLC tissues, and the relationship between pathological characteristics of NSCLC patients and FOXD3-AS1 expression level was analyzed. With human NSCLC cell lines H1299 and A549 as cell models, CCK-8 and BrdU assays were employed for detecting cancer cell proliferation, and Transwell assay was employed for detecting cell invasion ability. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were used for the verification of the targeting relationshipe between FOXD3-AS1 and miR-150, and Western blot was employed for detecting SRCIN1 protein expression. RESULTS: FOXD3-AS1 expression was significantly reduced in NSCLC tissues and cell lines, and low expression of FOXD3-AS1 was closely related to positive lymph node metastasis and relatively high tumor grade. FOXD3-AS1 over-expression inhibited the proliferation and invasion of H1299 cell lines, while its knockdown promoted the proliferation and invasion of A549 cells. Additionally, it was confirmed that FOXD3-AS1 suppressed the expression of miR-150 by targeting it, and up-regulated the expression of SRCIN1. CONCLUSIONS: FOXD3-AS1 indirectly enhances the expression of SRCIN1 by targeting miR-150, thereby inhibiting NSCLC progression.
