miR-218 opposes a critical RTK-HIF pathway in mesenchymal glioblastoma.

چکیده
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and the mesenchymal GBM subtype in particular are highly malignant tumors that frequently exhibit regions of severe hypoxia and necrosis. Because these features correlate with poor prognosis, we investigated microRNAs whose expression might regulate hypoxic GBM cell survival and growth. We determined that the expression of microRNA-218 (miR-218) is decreased significantly in highly necrotic mesenchymal GBM, and orthotopic tumor studies revealed that reduced miR-218 levels confer GBM resistance to chemotherapy. Importantly, miR-218 targets multiple components of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling pathways, and miR-218 repression increases the abundance and activity of multiple RTK effectors. This elevated RTK signaling also promotes the activation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), most notably HIF2α. We further show that RTK-mediated HIF2α regulation is JNK dependent, via jun proto-oncogene. Collectively, our results identify an miR-218-RTK-HIF2α signaling axis that promotes GBM cell survival and tumor angiogenesis, particularly in necrotic mesenchymal tumors.

Objective To investigate the effects of miR-218 on expression of hypoxia-inducible factors 1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cell apoptosis in normal mice aortic endothelial cells under intermittent hypoxia (IH) condition. Methods Anti-miR-218 inhibitor, miR-negative control and miR-218 mimic were used to tranfect the cells in different groups under IH condition. Both...
متن کاملmiR-219-5p Inhibits Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Pathway by Targeting EGFR in Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is one of the common types of primary brain tumors with a median survival of 12-15 months. The receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathway is known to be deregulated in 88% of the patients with glioblastoma. 45% of GBM patients show amplifications and activating mutations in EGFR gene leading to the upregulation of the pathway. In the present study, we demonstrate that a brain specific ...
متن کاملMiR-218 reverses high invasiveness of glioblastoma cells by targeting the oncogenic transcription factor LEF1.
The invasive behavior of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells is one of the most important reasons for the poor prognosis of this cancer. For invasion, tumor cells must acquire an ability to digest the extracellular matrix and infiltrate the normal tissue bordering the tumor. Preventing this by altering effector molecules can significantly improve ...

The goal of this work was to explore the most effective miRNAs affecting glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) phenotype transition and malignant progression. We annotated 491 TCGA samples' miRNA expression profiles according to their mRNA-based subtypes and found that the mesenchymal tumors had significantly decreased miR-181 family expression compared with the other three subtypes while the proneural...

Long non-coding RNA LINC00152 had been reported as an oncogene in gastric and hepatocellular cancer. In this study, we show that LINC00152 is overexpressed in gallbladder cancer (GBC) tissue samples and cell lines. The high LINC00152 levels correlated negatively with the overall survival time in GBC patients. Functionally, LINC00152 dramatically promoted cell migration, invasion and epithelial-...
