Gynecologic Cancers 2017: Micro-RNA-505 functions as a tumor suppressor in endometrial cancer by targeting TGF-α- Shuo Chen- The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University

Background: microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are associated with post-transcriptional guideline of quality articulation in multicellular living beings by influencing both the dependability and interpretation of mRNAs. miRNAs are interpreted by RNA polymerase II as a component of topped and polyadenylated essential transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The essential transcript is divided by the Drosha ribonuclease III protein to deliver an around 70-nt stem-circle antecedent miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is additionally separated by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to create the develop miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) items. The develop miRNA is fused into a RNA-instigated hushing complex (RISC), which perceives target mRNAs through defective base matching with the miRNA and most usually brings about translational restraint or destabilization of the objective mRNA.

MiR-505 has been identified to function as a tumor suppressor in carcinoma. Numerous studies have indicated that miR-505 inhibits cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis and may promote chemo resistance in carcinoma. Expression of miR-505 correlates with established prognostic biomarkers in carcinoma. Moreover, data from mouse models has indicated an association between miR-505 and human basal-type carcinoma . Another study recently provided evidence that miR-505 could suppress the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, little is understood about the biological function and target genes of miR-505 in EC.

Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is one of the most lethal gynecologic cancers. Patients frequently have regional or distant metastasis at diagnosis. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that participate in numerous biological processes. Recent studies have demonstrated that miR-505 is associated with several types of cancer; however, the expression and function of miR-505 have not been investigated in EC.

Methods: miR-505 articulation in ordinary endometrial tissue, endometrial carcinomas were measured by Quantitative converse translation PCR. The endometrial carcinoma cell lines HEC-1B and Ishikawa were each transfected with miR-505 or mixed mirrors, after which cell phenotype and articulation of important atoms were tested. Double luciferase columnist test and a engraft mouse model were utilized to inspect miR-505 and its objective quality TGF-α.

Results: RT-PCR results showed that miR-505 was essentially down regulated in human EC tissues contrasted with ordinary endometrial tissues. In addition, miR-505 articulation was contrarily connected with FIGO (stage I-II versus III-IV), and lymph hub metastasis (negative versus positive). In vitro, over expression of miR-505 essentially stifled EC cell expansion, expanded apoptosis and diminished transient and intrusive movement. A miR-505 restricting site was recognized in the 3′ untranslated area of TGF-α mRNA (TGFA) utilizing miRNA target-distinguishing programming; a double luciferase correspondent test affirmed that miR-505 straightforwardly targets and controls TGFA. RT-PCR and Western-blotching results showed that over expressing miR-505 diminished the declaration of TGF-α and the TGF-α-managed proteins MMP2, MMP9, CDK2, while actuated Bax and severed PARP articulation in EC cells. In vivo, over expression of miR-505 diminished the tumorigenicity and hindered the development of engraft tumors in a mouse model of EC.

Conclusions: Taken together, this study demonstrates that miR-505 acts as tumor suppressor in EC by regulating TGF-α.
