Gastric cancer is a serious malignant tumor associated with aberrant circular RNAs (circRNAs) expression. In this study, we aim to investigate the role and the underlying mechanism of circ_0000190, a circRNA in gastric cancer.

Circ_0000190 expression in vivo was examined in gastric cancer and adjacent normal tissues by RT-PCR. Circ_0000190 expression in gastric cancer cell lines was detected by FISH and RT-PCR. The role of the circRNA in gastric cancer cells was assessed by the analysis of cell viability, apoptosis, proliferation, cell cycle and migration. The potential effector of circ_0000190 was predicted by computational screen and validated by luciferase reporter assay. Furthermore, Mice model of human gastric cancer was established to observe the underlying mechanisms of circ_0000190.

Circ_0000190 was down-regulated in gastric cancer tissues and cells, with a major location in cytoplasm. Circ_0000190 inhibited gastric cancer cell viability, proliferation and migration, and induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest by regulating the expression of capase-3, p27 and cyclin D. In addition, the circRNA was validated as a sponge of miR-1252, which directly targeted PAK3. The effects of circ_0000190 on the cellular processes were blocked by miR-1252 mimics, which could be rescued after further overexpression of PAK3.

Circ_0000190 suppresses gastric cancer progression potentially via inhibiting miR-1252/PAK3 pathway, employing circ_0000190 might be a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of gastric cancer.

This study aims to investigate the mechanism underlying the high level of long non-coding RNA FOXD3-AS1 in cisplatin-resistant NSCLC cells.

Cisplatin-resistant cells were generated from A549 cells. CCK-8 were used to evaluate cell proliferation. The FOXD3-AS1, miR-127-3p, MDM2 and MRP1 mRNA expression levels were confirmed by qRT-PCR. Protein levels of MDM2 and MRP1 were determined by western blot assay. Luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays were evaluated the relationship between miR-127-3p and FOXD3-AS1/MDM2. In vivo tumor growth was evaluated in a xenograft nude mice model.

FOXD3-AS1 was up-regulated in cisplatin-resistant NSCLC cells (A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells) in comparison with their parental cell lines. Overexpression of FOXD3-AS1 promoted cisplatin-resistance in A549 and H1299 cells; while FOXD3-AS1 knockdown sensitized A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells to cisplatin treatment. FOXD3-AS1 regulated miR-127-3p expression by acting as a competing endogenous RNA, and miR-127-3p repressed MDM2 extes chemo-resistance of NSCLC cells via directly acting on miR-127-3p/MDM2 axis. Our findings may provide novel perspectives for the treatment of NSCLC in patients resistant to chemotherapy.

Genetic and epigenetic alterations have been indicated to be closely correlated with the carcinogenesis, DNA methylation is one of most frequently occurring molecular behavior that take place early during this complicated process in gastric cancer (GC).

In this study, 398 samples were collected from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database and were analyzed, so as to mine the specific DNA methylation sites that affected the prognosis for GC patients. Moreover, the 23,588 selected CpGs that were markedly correlated with patient prognosis were used for consistent clustering of the samples into 6 subgroups, and samples in each subgroup varied in terms of M, Stage, Grade, and Age. In addition, the levels of methylation sites in each subgroup were calculated, and 347 methylation sites (corresponding to 271 genes) were screened as the intrasubgroup specific methylation sites. Meanwhile, genes in the corresponding promoter regions that the above specific methylation sites were located were performed signaling pattely predicting patient prognosis.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding RNAs of longer than 200bp that play crucial roles in cancer biology. Here, we assessed the tumorigenic properties of a long noncoding RNA, MIAT, in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Survival and clinicopathological analyses were done in a cohort of 80 patients with NSCLC. MIAT expression level were determined by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR). Dual luciferase reporter assays were employed to test the interaction between MIAT and miR-149-5p. Ectopic overexpression and shRNA-mediated knockdown of MIAT, CCK-8 and colony formation assays, Transwell migration and invasion in vitro, and in vivo tumorigenesis experiment were used to evaluate the function of MIAT.

MIAT was significantly up-regulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines, and was closely associated with advanced pathological stage and poor overall survival. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments in cell lines and mouse xenograft models showed that MIAT promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells in vitro and accelerated tumor growth in vivo. Luciferase assay, western blotting, qRT-PCR, and rescue experiments showed that, mechanistically, MIAT could directly bind to miR-149-5p, and subsequently served as a sponge to increase the expression level of Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1).

Our study reveals that MIAT acts as an oncogene in NSCLC via a novel MIAT/miR-149/FOXM1 axis, thus providing potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the management of NSCLC.
