GATA3 acetylation at K119 by CBP inhibits cell migration and invasion in lung adenocarcinoma

Highlights: • GATA3 interacts with and is acetylated by the acetyltransferase CBP. • The major acetylated site of GATA3 in lung adenocarcinoma cells is lysine 119. • GATA3 is deacetylated by Class I deacetylases HDAC1, HDAC2 and HDAC3. • The acetylation status of GATA3-K119 is critical to lung adenocarcinoma progression. GATA3 is a transcriptional factor involved in the development of multiple organs. Post translational modifications of GATA3 are critical to its function. Here, we report that GATA3 interacts with and is acetylated by the acetyltransferase CBP. Class I deacetylases HDAC1, HDAC2 and HDAC3 deacetylate GATA3. The major acetylated site of GATA3 in lung adenocarcinoma cells was determined at lysine 119 (AcK119). Functionally, GATA3-acetylation mimics K119Q mutant was found to inhibit lung adenocarcinoma cell migration and invasion with concomitant downregulation of EMT-controlling transcriptional factors Slug, Zeb1 and Zeb2. Taken together, we demonstrated that GATA3 acetylation at lysine 119 by CBP hinders the migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

ELK1-induced upregulation of lncRNA HOXA10-AS promotes lung adenocarcinoma progression by increasing Wnt/β-catenin signaling

In recent years, increasing number of lncRNAs have been studied in lung adenocarcinoma (LAD). LncRNA HOXA10-AS was found to be upregulated in LAD tissues. Based on the data of TCGA database, HOXA10-AS was a prognostic factor for lung adenocarcinoma. This study aims to reveal the biological function of HOXA10-AS in LAD. qRT-PCR was applied to test expression levels of HOXA10-AS in both LAD tissues and cell lines. Next, transcription factor ELK1 was demonstrated to upregulate HOXA10-AS in LAD cells through performing bioinformatics analysis and dual luciferase activity. Loss of function assays were performed in two different LAD cell lines. Silenced HOXA10-AS was proved to inhibit LAD progression by affecting cell proliferation, cell apoptosis and cell metastasis and EMT progress. Western blot analysis revealed that HOXA10-AS increased Wnt/β-catenin signaling in LAD cell lines. Finally, rescue assays were carried out to identify the biological function of HOXA10-AS-Wnt/β-catenin signaling in LAD progression. In conclusion, ELK1-induced upregulation of HOXA10-AS improved LAD progression through increasing Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

Over-expression of lysyl oxidase is associated with poor prognosis and response to therapy of patients with lower grade gliomas

Lower grade gliomas (LGGs) have highly diverse clinical phenotypes. The histological grade and type are insufficient to accurately predict the clinical outcomes of patients with LGGs. Therefore, identification of biomarkers that can facilitate the prediction of clinical outcomes in LGGs is urgently needed. Gene expression of LOX has been identified as a biomarker for various cancers. However, the clinical significance of LOX expression in LGGs has not been investigated. In this study, we analyzed the glioma RNA-seq dataset from TCGA (The Cancer Genome atlas) and identified lysyl oxidase (LOX) as a potential biomarker for LGGs. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that high LOX expression is associated with worse overall survival and recurrence free survival in LGG patients. Besides, high LOX expression is associated with poor response to primary therapy, follow-up treatment, targeted molecular therapy, and radiation therapy. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses further confirmed LOX expression as an independent prognostic factor for LGG patients. Finally, we observed that LOX expression is significantly correlated with EMT (epithelial to mesenchymal transition) and IDH1 status in LGGs. In conclusion, our analyses suggest that LOX expression is a potential biomarker for prognosis and therapeutic response in LGGs.

PAFAH1B2 is a HIF1a target gene and promotes metastasis in pancreatic cancer

Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase IB subunit beta (PAFAH1B2) plays important roles in inflammation and anaphylaxis. However, its primary function in pancreatic cancer remains unclear. In the current study, we report that PAFAH1B2 is overexpressed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and correlated inversely with patient survival. PAFAH1B2 overexpression induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and invasion in vitro and metastasis in vivo. Conversely, silencing PAFAH1B2 inhibited these aggressive phenotypes. Moreover, PAFAH1B2 overexpression in PDAC cells was directly mediated by HIF1a. PAFAH1B2 expression in PDAC clinical specimens correlated positively with HIF1a expression. Overall, our results defined PAFAH1B2 as a target gene of HIF1a and a critical driver of PDAC metastatic behaviors.

LSINCT5 activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling by interacting with NCYM to promote bladder cancer progression

Highlights: • LSINCT5 promotes bladder cancer. • LSINCT5 interacts with NCYM. • LSINCT5 activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling by NCYM. Accumulating evidence has indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critically involved in tumor progression. In current study, we reported a novel lncRNA signature correlated with bladder cancer development. Particularly, the lncRNA long stress-induced noncoding transcript 5 (LSINCT5) is significantly upregulated in human bladder cancer cell lines and tumor specimens. Meanwhile, high LSINCT5 expression correlates with poor prognosis, enhances tumor sphere formation and invasion in vitro. In vivo xenograft tumor growth is also elevated by LSINCT5 overexpression. Mechanistic investigations showed that LSINCT5 could physically interact with NCYM, a de novo gene product from the MYCN cis-antisense RNA and inhibit GSK3β activity leading to enhanced Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). Taken together, our findings have created a novel LSINCT5 mediated process which facilitates bladder cancer progression and may provide a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

TGF-β1 induced fascin1 expression facilitates the migration and invasion of kidney carcinoma cells through ERK and JNK signaling pathways

Highlights: • In 769-P and OSRC cell lines, TGF-β1 can increase the expression of fascin1. • TGF-β1 promoted the invasive and migratory capabilities of the two cell lines via increased the expression of fascin1. • TGF-β1 induced fascin1 expression through ERK and JNK signal pathways. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) plays a crucial role in the signaling network that controls cellular invasion and motility capability during tumor development. To investigate whether fascin1 plays a crucial role in TGF-β1-facilitated invasion and migration of kidney cancer cells (KCC), real-time PCR and western blotting were used to test the fascin1 expression after TGF-β1 treatment (10 ng/ml) in 769-P and OSRC cells. Fascin1 was silenced using the small interfering RNA (siRNA) technique. Cytoskeleton staining was used to test the change of Cytoskeleton. Cell migration and invasion changes were measured by wound-healing and Transwell assay. The results indicate that mRNA and protein levels of fascin1 were dramatically increased after treatment with 10 ng/ml TGF-β1 in 769-P and OSRC cells. TGF-β1 promoted the occurrence of EMT (Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition) and the invasive and migratory capabilities of the two cell lines after treatment with 10 ng/ml TGF-β1. In addition, fascin1 siRNA dramatically attenuated the invasiveness and migration induced by TGF-β1. Furthermore, we identified that specific inhibitors of ERK and JNK signaling pathways, FR180204 and SP600125, can suppress TGF-β1-induced fascin1 expression. In conclusion, these results reveal that fascin1 is an important mediator of TGF-β1-induced invasion and migration of KCC through ERK and JNK signal pathways.

Influence and mechanism of Angiotensin 1-7 on biological properties of normal prostate epithelial cells

Highlights: • Ang1-7 inhibit proliferation and EMT of prostate epithelial cells by inactivation of PI3K axis. • Ang1-7 can counteract oxidant stress in prostate by inhibition of VEGF and upregulation of NOS3. • Ang1-7 increase the mRNA level of antiapoptotic genes: BIRC5 and BCL-2 in PNT1A cells. • Ang1-7 can upregulate not only AT1-7/MAS expression but also classic angiotensin receptors. • Ang1-7 can upregulate the AR and ESR2 receptor but dowregulate ESR1 in PNT1A. The ACE2/Ang1-7/MAS axis was involved in the cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis of many types of reproductive tissues. The research was conducted on prostate epithelial cells, immortalized by Simian Virus 40. We examined the influence of Ang 1–7 on biological properties of PNT1A cells after 24- or 48-h treatment. The employed selective antagonists of angiotensin receptors allowed evaluation of the receptor mediating Ang1-7 action. Our data clearly indicate that Ang1-7 can decrease cell proliferation and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of PNT1A cells via inactivation of PI3K axis and modulation of expression of the NF-kB gene family. Furthermore, it counteracts oxidant stress and inflammation in prostate cells by inhibition of VEGF expression and MMPs activation as well as by modulating the level of ERα and ERβ. On the other hand, this heptapeptide can promote cell survival by alteration of expression of anti- and pro-apoptotic members as well as compensatory up-regulation of AR expression. Summary, the results confirm the existence of a complicated dependence networks between the various elements of the local RAS and steroid hormone receptor pathways in prostate gland. Furthermore, shows the chances of using ACE2/Ang1-7/MAS pathway as a novel therapeutic target in prevention and treatment of prostate diseases.

Highlights: • miR-124-3p inhibits glioma cell proliferation. • miR-124-3p inhibits glioma cell motility. • miR-124-3p suppresses glioma cell EMT. • EphA2 is a candidate target of miR-124-3p. MiR-124-3p and EphA2 are aberrantly expressed in glioma tissue specimens. In the present study, we firstly investigated that miR-124-3p inhibits EphA2 expression mediated by binding its 3′-UTR to regulate the progression of human glioma. The U87MG and LN229 cells were transfected with miR-124-3p mimics and/or siRNA-EphA2, and then the role of miR-124-3p and EphA2 in the colony-formation, cell-cycle, migration and invasion of glioma cells in vitro were examined. Proteins involved in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition were examined using western blot. The results showed that miR-124-3p was significantly downregulated in glioma tissues, whereas a marked upregulation of EphA2 expression was found. Colony-formation and flow cytometry assays demonstrated that EphA2 downregulation or miR-124-3p mimics caused growth and cell-cycle inhibition in glioma. Transwell migration and invasion assays demonstrated that EphA2 downregulation or miR-124-3p mimics suppressed the migration and invasion of glioma cells. EphA2 downregulation or miR-124-3p mimics reduced the level of vimentin in U87MG and LN229 cells. In conclusion, miR-124-3p was found to suppress the growth, migration and invasion of glioma cells in vitro via EphA2. Furthermore, we validated miR-124-3p enforced its biological modulation via targeting EphA2 through the rescue experiment. Conclusively, our study proclaimed that miR-124-3p can counteract the malignant phenotypes of glioma cells by the inhibitory effect of the EphA2.

miR-7-5p acts as a tumor suppressor in bladder cancer by regulating the hedgehog pathway factor Gli3

Although important progresses have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer (BCa), the overall survival for patients with advanced BCa remains poor. It is necessary to uncover the molecular mechanism underlying the initiation and progression of bladder cancer. According to previous reports, mircoRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate tumorigenesis by targeting their downstream mRNAs. This study aims to explore and analyze a novel miRNA-mRNA axis which can regulate the progression of bladder cancer. Based on the microarray analysis, 182 mRNAs were found to be upregulated in BCa tissues. Gene oncology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that these upregulated mRNAs are related with hedgehog pathway. Gli3, an important factor of hedgehog pathway, belongs to these 182 upregulated mRNAs. Therefore, Gli3 was chosen to do further study. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that highly expressed Gli3 predicted unfavorable prognosis for patients with BCa. Results of functional experiments indicated the inhibitory effects of silenced Gli3 on cell proliferation, migration and EMT progress. Mechanically, Gli3 was the target mRNA of miR-7-5p in BCa cells. Finally, rescue assays were performed to validate the specific function of miR-7-5p/Gli3 axis in BCa progression. According to all data, we concluded that miR-7-5p acts as a tumor suppressor in BCa by downregulating Gli3.

Long non-coding RNA SBF2-AS1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression through regulation of miR-140-5p-TGFBR1 pathway

Highlights: • LncRNA SBF2-AS1 was overexpressed in HCC tissues and cell lines. • Up-regulation of lncRNA SBF2-AS1 was associated with poor clinical features and prognosis in HCC patients. • Knockdown of lncRNA SBF2-AS1 suppressed HCC progression by regulation of miR-140-5p-TGFBR1 pathway. A growing number of studies has suggested that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exert essential roles in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the roles of lncRNA and its molecular mechanism in HCC are largely unknown. In the present study, the functions and molecular mechanisms of a novel lncRNA, SET-binding factor 2 (SBF2) antisense RNA1 (SBF2-AS1), were investigated in HCC tissues and cell lines. We found that the expression levels of SBF2-AS1 were significantly up-regulated in HCC tissues and correlated with poor prognosis. SBF2-AS1 knockdown could inhibit the proliferation of HCC cells and attenuate the development of HCC tumor in vivo. Moreover, wound healing and Transwell assays revealed that down-regulation of SBF2-AS1 suppressed the migration and invasion of HCC cells by modulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) ability. Mechanistically, we observed that SBF2-AS1 served as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miR-140–5p. Subsequently, transforming growth factor beta receptor 1 (TGFBR1) was certified as a direct target of miR-140–5p and enforcing SBF2-AS1 expression elevated TGFBR1 expression in HCC. Taken together, our study suggested that SBF2-AS1 modulated TGFBR1 through sponging miR-140–5p in HCC development and progression indicating that SBF2-AS1 might be further chosen as a potential anticancer therapeutic target and a promising prognostic biomarker for HCC.

DDX5 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis via Akt signaling pathway

The DEAD-box-protein DDX5 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase and also acts as co-activator that contributes to progression and metastasis of various tumours. However, its expression as well as prognostic roles of DDX5 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain elusive. In this study, we investigated clinical significance and biological functions of DDX5 in HCC. Our results suggested that DDX5 showed overexpression at both transcriptional and translational levels in HCC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. Moreover, DDX5 expression was demonstrated to be correlated with tumor size (p p = 0.013), M stage (p = 0.006), tumor differentiation (p p = 0.001). Simultaneously, high DDX5 expression was found to be significantly correlated to worse outcome including Disease free survival (DFS) (p = 0.016) and overall survival (OS) (p = 0.032) according to Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. In vitro studies, it suggested that knockdown of DDX5 suppressed HCC cells migration, invasion and epithelial -to- mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Depletion of DDX5 could promote HCC cells growth. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis showed that PI3K/Akt signaling pathway obtained the highest enrichment. Furthermore, we found that knockdown of DDX5 decreased Akt as well as p-Akt (S473) expressions. Collectively, these findings suggested that DDX5 facilitated HCC cells growth via Akt signaling pathway. DDX5 played a crucial role in HCC proliferation and tumorigenesis and may be a novel prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for HCC.

This study aimed to elucidate the effect of miR-1306–3p on metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and potential mechanism involved. miR-1306–3p promoted migration and invasion of HCC in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, miR-1306–3p inhibited snail to enhance its expression via directly targeting FBXL5, thus inducing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in HCC. Intriguingly, miR-1306–3p expression was transcriptionally enhanced by FoxM1. Consistently, miR-1306–3p was upregulated in HCC compared with paracarcinoma and correlated with poor prognosis of HCC patients. Our researches suggest that miR-1306–3p is a tumor enhancer in regulating of HCC metastasis, and miR-1306–3p may be clinically utilized as a factor for the clinical diagnosis and prognosis of HCC.

MFAP5 suppression inhibits migration/invasion, regulates cell cycle and induces apoptosis via promoting ROS production in cervical cancer

Highlights: • Suppression of MFAP5 reduces migration/invasion, regulates cell cycle and induces apoptosis in cervical cancer cells. • Inhibition of MFAP5 promotes ROS generation to prevent cervical cancer progression in vitro. • MFAP5 down-regulation inhibits cervical cancer growth in vivo. Cervical cancer is one of the most lethal types of cancer among female. Microfibrillar-associated protein 5 (MFAP5) is an extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein, and is confirmed to be involved in cell signaling during microfibril assembly, elastinogenesis and cell survival. However, the role of MFAP5 in cervical cancer development and progression remains poorly understood. In the study, MFAP5 was over-expressed in human cervical cancers, and in different cervical cancer cell lines. Patients suffering from cervical cancer with low MFAP5 expression exhibited better survival rate. Suppressing MFAP5 in cervical cancer cells markedly reduced the cell proliferation, migration and invasion by modulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related signaling pathway. In addition, MFAP5 knockdown induced large number of cells distributed in G2/M phase, along with reduced Cyclin B1, Cyclin D1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) expressions, and enhanced p21 and p53 levels. Moreover, apoptosis was highly induced by MFAP5 silence through reducing Bcl-xl and Bcl-2 expressions, and promoting Bax, cleaved Caspase-3 and poly (ADP-Ribose) polymerase (PARP) expressions in cervical cancer cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production levels were also higher in MFAP5-knockdown cells, along with Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation. Importantly, we found that MFAP5 knockdown-inhibited cervical cancer cell growth was dependent on ROS production. Finally, the depletion of MFAP5 prevented cervical cancer progression in vivo. In summary, our study identified a critical role played by MFAP5 in the progression of cervical cancer and the potential mechanisms by which exerted its effects, indicating that targeting MFAP5-related pathways could be conducive to the therapies for cervical cancer.

Energetics and diffusional properties of He in BCC Mo: an empirical potential for molecular dynamics simulations

This paper presents an interatomic potential for modeling of He defects and bubbles in body-centered-cubic (BCC) Mo. We utilize three existing framework: the Finnis-Sinclair (FS) potential for Mo-Mo, the Effective-Medium-Theory (EMT) for He-Mo, and the Hartree-Fock-Dispersion (HFD) potential for He-He interactions. The energetics of He defects and the diffusivity of He interstitial givens by the present potential agree well with ab initio calculations and experimental measurements. Furthermore, in agreement with theoretical prediction, it is shown that the introduction of He gas suppresses the surface diffusivity of BCC Mo, which decays exponentially with increasing He pressure acting on the free surface. The decay constant, with is correlated with the characteristic interaction volume for He-Mo, is close to the atomic volume of BCC Mo. This suppression effect is important to understand the mobility of small gas bubbles.

As these systems transition from being dominated by large synchronous machines to increasingly incorporating inverter-based resources (IBRs), traditional methods are becoming inadequate. Addressing this challenge, this paper introduces a scalable phasor-domain T\&D co-simulation framework based on open-source software. It focuses on the framework's validation against the PSCAD Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) analysis tool. The validation results demonstrate the framework's high-fidelity and a computational time speed-up of 60 to 100 times, marking a pioneering validation effort in T\&D co-simulation research.
