  • long non coding rna malat1 microRNA 143 vegfa signal axis modulates vascular endothelial injury induced intracranial aneurysm
    Nanoscale Research Letters, 2020
    Co-Authors: Yang Zhang, Jian Yu, Yu Chen, Daqun Gu, Xianming Fu
    Abstract:

    The roles of some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in intracranial aneurysm (IA) have been investigated in many studies. The aim of this study is to elucidate the mechanism of lncRNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1)/microRNA-143 (miR-143)/vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA) signal axis in vascular endothelial injury-induced IA. MALAT1, miR-143, and VEGFA expression in IA tissues and normal arterial tissues were detected. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) in tissues, von Willebrand factor (vWF) in serum and tissues, and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in serum were detected. The modeled IA rats were injected with silenced or overexpressed MALAT1 for detecting vascular endothelial injury. Vascular endothelial cells from patients with IA were abstracted and transfected with silenced or overexpressed MALAT1 to verify the impacts of MALAT1 on cell viability and apoptosis. The connections among MALAT1, miR-143, and VEGFA were verified by online prediction, luciferase activity, and RNA-pull down assays. Overexpression of MALAT1 and VEGFA and poor expression of miR-143 were found in IA tissues. Downregulation of MALAT1 inhibited blood pressure, the expression of ET-1, vWF, and MMP-9, as well as the apoptotic index of vascular endothelial cells of rats with IA. Downregulated MALAT1 inhibited apoptosis and promoted viability of vascular endothelial cells in IA. MALAT1 bound to miR-143 and miR-143 targeted VEGFA. This study suggests that MALAT1 elevates VEGFA expression through competitive binding to miR-143, thereby boosting apoptosis and attenuating viability of vascular endothelial cells in IA.

  • The tumor-suppressive microRNA-143/145 cluster inhibits cell migration and invasion by targeting GOLM1 in prostate cancer
    Journal of Human Genetics, 2014
    Co-Authors: Satoko Kojima, Hideki Enokida, Hirofumi Yoshino, Toshihiko Itesako, Takeshi Chiyomaru, Takashi Kinoshita, Miki Fuse, Rika Nishikawa, Yusuke Goto, Yukio Naya
    Abstract:

    Our recent study of microRNA (miRNA) expression signature of prostate cancer (PCa) has revealed that the microRNA-143/145 ( miR-143/145 ) cluster is significantly downregulated in cancer tissues, suggesting that these cluster miRNAs are candidate tumor suppressors. The aim of this study was to investigate the functional significance of the miR-143/145 cluster in PCa cells and to identify novel targets regulated by these cluster miRNAs in PCa. Restoration of miR-143 or miR-145 in PCa cell lines (PC3 and DU145) revealed that these miRNAs significantly inhibited cancer cell migration and invasion. Gene expression data and in silico analysis demonstrated that Golgi membrane protein 1 ( GOLM1 ) resembling a type II golgi transmembrane protein was a potential target of miR-143/145 cluster target gene. Gene expression studies and luciferase reporter assays showed that GOLM1 was directly regulated by the miR-143/145 cluster. Silencing of GOLM1 resulted in significant inhibition of cell migration and invasion in PCa cells. Furthermore, the expression of GOLM1 was upregulated in cancer tissues by immunohistochemistry. Loss of the tumor-suppressive miR-143/145 cluster enhanced cancer cell migration and invasion in PCa through directly regulating GOLM1 . Our data on target genes regulated by the tumor-suppressive miR-143/145 cluster provide new insights into the potential mechanisms of PCa oncogenesis and metastasis.

  • tumor suppressive microRNA 143 145 cluster targets hexokinase 2 in renal cell carcinoma
    Cancer Science, 2013
    Co-Authors: Hirofumi Yoshino, Satoko Kojima, Hideki Enokida, Toshihiko Itesako, Takeshi Chiyomaru, Takashi Kinoshita, Shuichi Tatarano, Masayuki Nakagawa, Naohiko Seki
    Abstract:

    Our recent studies of microRNA (miRNA) expression signatures have indicated that the miR-143/145 cluster is significantly downregulated in several types of cancer and represents a putative tumor-suppressive miRNA in human cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the functional significance of the miR-143/145 cluster in cancer cells and to identify novel molecular targets of the miR-143/145 cluster in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The expression levels of miR-143 and miR-145 were significantly downregulated in RCC tissues compared with adjacent non-cancerous tissues. A significant positive correlation was recognized between miR-143 and miR-145 expression. Restoration of mature miR-143 or miR-145 in 786-O and A498 RCC cells revealed that both mature miRNAs significantly inhibited cancer cell proliferation and invasion, suggesting that the miR-143/145 cluster functioned as a tumor suppressor in RCC. Gene expression data and in silico database analysis showed that the hexokinase-2 (HK2) gene, which encodes a glycolytic enzyme crucial for the Warburg effect in cancer cells, was a candidate target of the miR-143/145 cluster. Luciferase reporter assays showed that both miR-143 and miR-145 directly regulated HK2. In RCC clinical specimens, the expression of HK2 was significantly higher in cancer tissues than in non-cancerous tissues. Silencing HK2 suppressed RCC cell proliferation and invasion, suggesting that HK2 has oncogenic functions in RCC. Thus, our data showed that loss of the tumor-suppressive miR-143/145 cluster enhanced RCC cell proliferation and invasion through targeting HK2.
