The study was aimed to analyse the effects of miR-128 on the proliferation and apoptosis of lung cancer cells of non-small cell by regulating RECK. The expression of miR-128 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its paracancerours tissues was analyzed by sequencing. miR-128 expression level in NSCLC and its paracancerours tissues was detected by qPCR. We over expressed miR-128 by mimics in A549 NSCLC cell line. Establish blank and negative control group. miR-128 and RECK expression level in each group was detected by qPCR. Use MTT assay to test the proliferation ability of each group. The apoptosis level and the level of ROS in each group were tested by hoechst 33258. The expression level of apoptosis-related protein and p38 NF- B signal pathway-related protein in each group was tested by Western blot. The results of sequencing and qPCR showed that compared with the blank control group, the expression level of miR-128 mRNA was significantly higher in the adjacent tissues than in the adjacent tissues (P < 0 05). The expression levels of miR128 mRNA and RECK mRNA in the overexpression group were significantly increased (P <0 05); the cell proliferation ability in the overexpression group was significantly reduced (P < 0 05), and the level of apoptosis was significantly increased (P < 0 05). Overexpression group Caspase-3, Bcl2/Bax, P-p38, NF-B expression levels were significantly increased (P < 0 05). MiR-128 increases ROS level in NSCLC cells, inhibits cell proliferation and promotes cell apoptosis by regulating RECK and acting on p38 NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective: The paper aimed to explore the mechanism of cellular retinoic acid binding protein 2 (CRABP2) involvement in Golgi stress and tumor dryness in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells through the estrogen receptor (ER) dependent Hippo pathway. Methods: Human NSCLC cell line A549 was purchased from ATCC andcultured in RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS. Attractene reagent was used for plasmid transfection. ER (sh) RNA was designed using RNAi Designer. Seventy-six hours after infection, stable cells were obtained after treated with puromycin for 3 weeks. ER silencing cells (with inhibited ER expression) were compared to the control cells (normal cultured NSCLC cell line A549, CRABP2 normal expression). CRABP2 and ER expression levels were detected by RT-PCR. MTT assay was used to detect cell proliferation, and the cell localization of ER and Golgi was observed by confocal microscopy. The invasion and metastasis of cells were analyzed by Boden chamber invasion and migration assays. Western blotting assays was used for detecting the protein expression of E-cadherin, vimentin, ZO-1 protein and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related factors. Results: The lower expression level of mRNA was detected in the ER-silencing group compared to the control group (P<0.05). We also found a higher proliferation level of cells, the number of invading and metastatic cells, the expression of vimentin, p-Lats1T1079, Lats1 and p-YAPS127 mRNA in the control group compared to the ER silencing group (P<0.05). And the expression level of protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), phosphorylate eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (p-eIF2 alpha), activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) and C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) in the control group was higher than that in the ER silencing group (P<0.05). Adversely, a lower expression level of E-cadherin and ZO-1 protein was found in the control group compared to the ER silencing group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The expression of CRABP2 in NSCLC cells was regulated by ER, and cell proliferation and invasion were regulated by the Hippo pathway. At the same time, it was found that decreased expression of CRABP2 enhanced endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi stress response.

Abstract Objective: Nicotine, the main ingredient in tobacco, is identified to facilitate tumorigenesis and accelerate metastasis in tumor. Studies in recent years have reported that long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 460 (LINC00460) is strongly associated with lung cancer poor prognosis and nicotine dependence. Nonetheless, it is unclear whether nicotine promotes the development of lung cancer through activation of LINC00460. Methods: We determined that LINC00460 expression in lung cancer tissues and the prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) website and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Through in vitro experiments, we studied the effects of nicotine on LINC00460 in NSCLC cells lines using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), transwell test, flow cytometry, quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot assays. Results: We identified the significant up-regulated expression level of LINC00460 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines, especially, the negative correlation of LINC00460 expression level with overall survival (OS). In in vitro experiments, LINC00460 was overexpressed in NSCLC cell lines under nicotine stimulation. Nicotine could relieve the effect of LINC00460 knockdown on NSCLC cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis. The same influence was observed on PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Conclusions: In summary, this is the first time to examine the potential roles of LINC00460 in lung cancer cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis induced by nicotine. This may help to develop novel therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of metastatic tumors from cigarette smoke-caused lung cancer by blocking the nicotine-activated LINC00460 pathway.

STAT3 is closely related to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). miR-4268 is predicted to regulate STAT3 level by MiRDB analysis. Therefore, our study investigated whether miR-4268 affects NSCLC cells by regulating STAT3. The control group (NC group), miR-4268 Mimics group, and miR-4268 Mimics +pFBD-STAT3 group were set up followed by analysis of miR-4268 and STAT3 mRNA level by QRT-PCR, relationship between miR-4268 and STAT3 by dual fluorescein reporter assay, STAT3 and Tubulin protein level by Western blot, cell proliferation by MTT assay and apoptosis by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. Compared with normal tissue, miR-4268 expression in cancer tissue was significantly reduced (P <0.01), while STAT3 level was elevated (P <0.01). STAT3 was a target gene of miR-4268. Compared with NC group, STAT3 level was significantly reduced in miR-4268 Mimics group (P <0.01) and increased in miR-4268 Mimics+pFBD-STAT3 group compared with miR-4268 Mimics group (P <0.05). Compared to NC group, miR-4268 Mimics group had reduced cell proliferation and increased cell apoptosis and opposite changes were observed in miR-4268 Mimics+pFBD-STAT3 group which had increased cell proliferation and decreased apoptosis (P < 0.05). miR-4268 regulates STAT3 mRNA level and inhibits NSCLC cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis. However, over-expression of STAT3 can inhibit the effect of miR-4268.

Abnormal expression of HMGB1 is closely related to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). miR-1305 regulates HMGB1 level by MiRDB analysis. Therefore, we investigated whether miR-1305 affects NSCLC cell proliferation and apoptosis by regulating HMGB1. The control group (NC group), miR-1305 Mimics group and miR-1305 Mimics+pcDNA-HMGB1 group were set followed by analysis of miR-1305 and HMGB1 mRNA level real time-PCR, relationship between miR-1305 and HMGB1 by dual fluorescein reporter assay, HMGB1 and Tubulin level by Western blot, cell proliferation by clone formation assay, cell apoptosis by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. Compared with normal tissues, miR-1305 was significantly downregulated in NSCLC tissues (P <0.01), while HMGB1 mRNA was upregulated (P <0.01). HMGB1 was the target gene of miR-1305. Compared to NC group, HMGB1 level in miR-1305 Mimics group was significantly reduced (P <0.01). Compared with miR-1305 Mimics group, HMGB1 level was significantly increased in miR-1305 Mimics+pcDNA-HMGB1group (P <0.05). HMGB1 mRNA level was not significantly changed. In addition, the number of cell clones and proliferation ability was decreased in miR-1305 Mimics group, which were reversed in miR-1305 Mimics+pcDNA-HMGB1 group. miR-1305 can bind HMGB1 3′-UTR, reduce its protein level, thereby inhibiting NSCLC cell proliferation and promoting cell apoptosis. HMGB1 overexpression can prevent the effect of miR-1305.

Apoptosis of islet β cells participates in type 1 diabetes. Exendin-4 promotes islet β cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis. Glucose metabolism related protein-1 (GMRP-1) has the similar effects on islet β cell. Whether the effect of exendin-4 islet β-cells is regulated by GMRP-1 is not clear. GMRP-1 siRNA or pEGFP-C3-GMRP-1 recombinant plasmid was transfected into MIN6 cells and treated with t-BHP in the presence of exendin-4 (0, 50, 100 and 200 nmol/L) followed by analysis of cell proliferation ability by CCK8 assay, apoptosis by flow cytometry, as well as GMRP-1 protein level by Western blot. After transfection of the plasmid with high expression of GMRP-1, the number of MIN6 cells was increased significantly, and the apoptosis rate was reduced (P < 0.05). With increased exendin-4 concentration, the number of cell proliferation was increased gradually with reduced cell apoptosis (P < 0.05). After the expression of GMRP-1 was decreased after GMRP-1 siRNA interference fragment transfection, the number of MIN6 cells was decreased significantly and the apoptosis was elevated (P < 0.05), whereas, exendin-4’s effect on the proliferation of MIN6 cells and inhibition of apoptosis was attenuated. GMRP-1 affects the proliferation and apoptosis of MIN6 cells, and regulates exonin-4-induced MIN6 cell proliferation and apoptosis.

Abstract LncRNA SNHG10 has been characterized as an oncogenic lncRNA in liver cancer. By analyzing TCGA dataset we observed the downregulation of SNHG10 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), indicating its involvement in this disease. We then analyzed the role of SNHG10 in NSCLC.Tumor and paired non-tumor tissues were harvested from 62 NSCLC patients. Expression of SNHG10 and miR-21 in tissues was determined by RT-qPCR. Overexpression of SNHG10 or miR-21 in NSCLC cells was achieved and the interaction between them was analyzed. Cell proliferation was analyzed by CCK-8 assay.In this study we found that SNHG10 is downregulated in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients included in this study. High expression level of SNHG10 predicted favorable survival of NSCLC patients. Levels of miR-21 expression were increased in NSCLC and inversely correlated with SNHG10. In NSCLC cells, SNHG10 overexpression led to increased miR-21 gene methylation and decreased miR-21 expression level. In cell proliferation assay, SNHG10 overexpression attenuated the enhancing effect of miR-21 overexpression on cell proliferation. SNHG10 is downregulated in non-small cell lung cancer and predicts poor survival. It may downregulated miR-21 through methylation to suppress cancer cell proliferation.

Lung cancer is a crucial cause of mortality world-wide. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) are important signaling factors in malignant diseases and are constantly activated in 22% ~ 65% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. STAT3 can be activated by interleukin-6 (IL-6) which induces cell growth in various cancer cells. Although viscothionin is studied for various health beneficial effects, the anticancer effect of viscothionin has not been studies so far against lung cancer. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to demonstrate the anticancer effect of a polypeptide, viscothionin in NCI-H460 lung cancer cells, which represents NSCLC. To do this, cultured NCI-H460 cells were treated with viscothionin and/or IL-6, and the cell viability, as well as expression levels of STAT3, Akt, mTOR, Bax, Bcl-2, and Bcl-xL, including caspase-3 after activity were assessed. As a result, cell viability was decreased in the viscothionin-treated group as compared to control. Also, viscothionin significantly decreased STAT3, Akt and mTOR protein expression levels in NCI-H460 cells. Additionally, the levels of the Bax, an apoptotic protein were increased than the control group, whereas the expression levels of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL were decreased than the control group. Protein level of IL-6 shows the reversible effect compared to viscothionin. Taken together, these results demonstrate that viscothionin exhibits potent anticancer effect in NSCLC through STAT3 inhibition, and could be considered a natural agent of lung cancer therapy.
