          Abstract

          Emerging evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) serve an important role in tumorigenesis and development. Although the low expression of miR‐125a‐5p in gastric cancer has been reported, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In the current study, the low expression of miR‐125a‐5p in gastric cancer was verified in paired cancer tissues and adjacent non‐tumour tissues. Furthermore, the GC islands in the miR‐125a‐5p region were hypermethylated in the tumour tissues. And the hypermethylation was negatively correlated with the miR‐125a‐5p expression. Target gene screening showed that the histone methyltransferase Suv39H1 was one of the potential target genes. In vitro studies showed that miR‐125a‐5p could directly suppress the Suv39H1 expression and decrease the H3K9me3 levels. On the other hand, the Suv39H1 could induce demethylation of miR‐125a‐5p, resulting in re‐activation of miR‐125a‐5p. What is more, overexpessing miR‐125a‐5p could also self‐activate the silenced miR‐125a‐5p in gastric cancer cells, which suppressed cell migration, invasion and proliferation in vitro and inhibited cancer progression in vivo. Thus, we uncovered here that the epigenetic silenced miR‐125a‐5p could be self‐activated through targeting Suv39H1 in gastric cancer, suggesting that miR‐125a‐5p might be not only the potential prognostic value as a tumour biomarker but also potential therapeutic targets in gastric cancer.

          Sirtuin7 oncogenic potential in human hepatocellular carcinoma and its regulation by the tumor suppressors MiR-125a-5p and MiR-125b.

          Sirtuins are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidized form (NAD(+) )-dependent deacetylases and function in cellular metabolism, stress resistance, and aging. For sirtuin7 (SIRT7), a role in ribosomal gene transcription is proposed, but its function in cancer has been unclear. In this study we show that SIRT7 expression was up-regulated in a large cohort of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. SIRT7 knockdown influenced the cell cycle and caused a significant increase of liver cancer cells to remain in the G1 /S phase and to suppress growth. This treatment restored p21(WAF1/Cip1) , induced Beclin-1, and repressed cyclin D1. In addition, sustained suppression of SIRT7 reduced the in vivo tumor growth rate in a mouse xenograft model. To explore mechanisms in SIRT7 regulation, microRNA (miRNA) profiling was carried out. This identified five significantly down-regulated miRNAs in HCC. Bioinformatics analysis of target sites and ectopic expression in HCC cells showed that miR-125a-5p and miR-125b suppressed SIRT7 and cyclin D1 expression and induced p21(WAF1/Cip1) -dependent G1 cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, treatment of HCC cells with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine or ectopic expression of wildtype but not mutated p53 restored miR-125a-5p and miR-125b expression and inhibited tumor cell growth, suggesting their regulation by promoter methylation and p53 activity. To show the clinical significance of these findings, mutations in the DNA binding domain of p53 and promoter methylation of miR-125b were investigated. Four out of nine patients with induced SIRT7 carried mutations in the p53 gene and one patient showed hypermethylation of the miR-125b promoter region. Our findings suggest the oncogenic potential of SIRT7 in hepatocarcinogenesis. A regulatory loop is proposed whereby SIRT7 inhibits transcriptional activation of p21(WAF1/Cip1) by way of repression of miR-125a-5p and miR-125b. This makes SIRT7 a promising target in cancer therapy. (HEPATOLOGY 2013). Copyright © 2012 American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.

            Plasma extracellular RNA profiles in healthy and cancer patients

            Extracellular vesicles are selectively enriched in RNA that has potential as disease biomarkers. To systemically characterize circulating extracellular RNA (exRNA) profiles, we performed RNA sequencing analysis on plasma extracellular vesicles derived from 50 healthy individuals and 142 cancer patients. Of ~12.6 million raw reads for each individual, the number of mappable reads aligned to RNA references was ~5.4 million including miRNAs (~40.4%), piwiRNAs (~40.0%), pseudo-genes (~3.7%), lncRNAs (~2.4%), tRNAs (~2.1%), and mRNAs (~2.1%). By expression stability testing, we identified a set of miRNAs showing relatively consistent expression, which may serve as reference control for exRNA quantification. By performing multivariate analysis of covariance, we identified significant associations of these exRNAs with age, sex and different types of cancers. In particular, down-regulation of miR-125a-5p and miR-1343-3p showed an association with all cancer types tested (false discovery rate <0.05). We developed multivariate statistical models to predict cancer status with an area under the curve from 0.68 to 0.92 depending cancer type and staging. This is the largest RNA-seq study to date for profiling exRNA species, which has not only provided a baseline reference profile for circulating exRNA, but also revealed a set of RNA candidates for reference controls and disease biomarkers.

              MicroRNA-125a-5p is an independent prognostic factor in gastric cancer and inhibits the proliferation of human gastric cancer cells in combination with trastuzumab.

              MicroRNA 125a-5p (miR-125a-5p) has been reported to be a tumor suppressor in malignancies of the breast, ovary, lung, and central nervous system. However, the clinical significance of miR-125a-5p in human gastrointestinal cancer has not been explored. We investigated a tumor inhibitory effect of miR-125a-5p in gastric cancer, focusing in particular on the miR-125a-ERBB2 (HER2, HER-2/neu) pathway. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to evaluate miR-125a-5p expression in 87 gastric cancer cases to determine the clinicopathologic significance of miR-125a-5p expression. The regulation of ERBB2 by miR-125a-5p was examined with precursor miR-125a-transfected cells. Furthermore, we investigated whether miR-125a-5p suppresses proliferation of gastric cancer cells in combination with trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody against ERBB2. Low expression levels of miR-125a-5p were associated with enhanced malignant potential such as tumor size (P = 0.0068), tumor invasion (P = 0.031), liver metastasis (P = 0.029), and poor prognosis (P = 0.0069). Multivariate analysis indicated that low miR-125a-5p expression was an independent prognostic factor for survival. In vitro assays showed that ERBB2 is a direct target of miR-125a-5p, which potently suppressed the proliferation of gastric cancer cells, and, interestingly, the growth inhibitory effect was enhanced in combination with trastuzumab. miR-125a-5p is a meaningful prognostic marker. Furthermore, miR-125a-5p mimic alone or in combination with trastuzumab could be a novel therapeutic approach against gastric cancer. ©2011 AACR.
